doomscrolling is not activism

doomscrolling is not activism

doomscrolling is not activism

"don't look away" is a meaningless phrase. who are you benefiting by inundating yourself with misery porn?

DO something about things you care about. Go to a protest for something you believe in, if you can. Donate money to a cause if you have it to spare. Volunteer your time to help people if you have the energy. Write a letter to your political representatives if that's something you can do. These are meaningful ways to try to make change in the world.

And then? don't feel bad about insulating yourself from horrible news. Don't make yourself look at images that make you feel sick. Don't read endless things that depress you. Because frankly it gets harder to actually do the more you doomscroll. Reading constantly about things you can't change because they're happening at a systemic level or on the other side of the world is paralyzing. It makes you less able to help where you can.

I'm not saying be willfully ignorant. I'm not saying pretend horrible things aren't happening. I'm saying don't destroy your mental health going in-depth and cycling through horror after horror on your phone. I'm saying there is no virtue in making yourself experience other people's traumas because mere awareness is not activism. you inflicting suffering on yourself is not activism.

doomscrolling is literally sapping your energy and focus away from doing anything useful to help other people. you can burn yourself out without ever lifting a finger by exposing yourself to all the bad news in the world and who does that help? no one.

Also I'm not saying the Amazon Rainforest isn't EXTREMELY important. I'm pointing out my governments hypocrisy.

Also if the Amazon Rainforest is equivalent to the lungs of the the earth, weatlands are the kidneys! Wetlands are where tons of the fish we,along with other animals eat go to lay their eggs. Also Prairie lands have near to the amount of life diversity as the Amazon Rainforest and only 1% of Prairie lands remain in Texas today!

Okay, so let’s get this straight

This is a single comment Matt got, literally once, that almost immediately, and when I say immediately I mean immediately, triggered the ban of a trans woman:

And this is what trans people here on tumblr get in just a few hours that takes tumblr staff days and/or weeks, maybe never, to actually take action on, meanwhile in that timeframe these people are still allowed to post and harass trans people as much as they please:

Does this seem fair? At all? This doesn’t seem very queer friendly for “the queerest place on the internet”

Why does the cis white dude get special privileges when someone simply makes fun of him for being a bad ceo, but trans people who are actively being harassed, getting death and harm threats, told to kill themselves, etc. literally have to beg for staff to do something

What’s up with that, @staff? Why do I have to beg to be protected and to have other trans individuals protected by staff when that’s literally your job? I have to beg while these people get to do whatever they want because you never actually do anything about it? That your ceo gets special little boy privilege and can have whoever he wants banned whenever he wants? Why aren’t you doing what you’re supposed to?

A very happy Valentines Day.

Have some Nova, from @venomous-qwille beautiful Ghost in the machine au, getting flowers.

It's such a delightful read! And while I am lacking a few chapters behind, seeing all the other art for it is certainly inspiring!

So! Nova! He's such a guy /aff

I'm putting the alt text under the cut bc it's kind of long.

[ID: a 15-second animatic of Nova from Qwilles Ghost in the machine au. Nova is a sun variant who wears a jacket. Underneath said jacket is a shirt with two pins on the right side. He has eight small spikes around his face and seven knife rays in between them. The animatic begins with Nova sitting on a couch, a smile on his face, staring into the distance before he blinks, and then proceeds to tilts his head to the side. His body slightly moved to the motion. It then cuts to a small person with big eyes and a small, blue bow tie on their chest, standing on a purple carpet. They look up at him and wave one arm, eyes glimmering and a slight blush on their cheeks while doing so. They soon after lower their hand, shyly looking to the side as they grab hold of their other arm, only to sneak another look at Nova. It cuts back to Nova, who looks at the small person, twinkling stars around his head before they disappear as he tilts his head in question to the side. A speaking bubble with a question mark appears to his left. Again, cutting back to the small person, they seem to startle, aware that they have his attention. Their lower arms halfway raised and hands in a tensed position. They promptly move their right arm to put their hand in a pocket at their right hip to search for something. Said pocket appears out of nowhere. Nova leans forward, curious as to what is going to happen next as he tilts his head to the right. Cut to the small person: they halt in their movement for a second, an exclamation mark popping up right next to them. Their eyes crinkle upward as they seem to have found what they were searching for. Red circles, a small blush, on their cheeks. They proceed to pull out a bouquet of various field flowers out of the pocket and hold it out toward him, eyes moving up to look at him in quiet anticipation. The flowers are a cropped photo of a real bouquet. It cuts to Nova, who has a redraw of the bouquet halfway shoved toward his face, eyes wide in surprise. His look softens, and his brows knit together as he pulls back, and the bouquet is lowered. He looks at the small person with a half grin, his right hand raised to take the flowers. He is looking at the small person while doing so. Cutting back to the small person, they have a bashful look on their face, hands behind their back as Nova takes the bouquet out of the frame. There is a small speaking bubble with a heart above their head. We cut back to Nova, who now holds the bouquet, that is significantly smaller in his hold, between his fingers. He looks down at it with an amused expression. On his right side, a bubble appears, featuring the small person holding a thumb up as sparkles surround their head. They are very pleased with themselves as they watch him./End ID]

Here's the thing, do I want Buck on the floor crying? Yes, because it would be fun to watch and Oliver should be allowed to let loose a little bit yk? But I truly just want Buck to do something for himself and stick to it. I mean, that man didn't even pick his own apartment. Do I want him hyperventilating screaming crying throwing up? Yes. But truly I just want him off the hamster wheel.

Thinking about the different ways Whumpee can be electrocuted. My personal favorites:

Shock collars

Stun batons (direct contact weapon)

Tasers

Whumpee might be tied to a chair or a table while it happens, or pinned to the ground beneath Whumper’s weight. Whatever resistance they’re giving, it dies the moment the shock hits.

#shocks just #do something #it’s instantaneous and low-effort #the Whumper can do it all day (or until the batteries in the remote run out) #but how long can Whumpee stand it? #whump

Found an article about G3, it has some new information:

"Clawdeen is half-werewolf, half-human and biracial, born to a werewolf mother who is Mexican and a human father who is Black. 

With Dracula as her father, fans will be introduced to Draculaura's mother, a vampire of Taiwanese descent, as her storyline will dive deeper into her heritage. In embracing body diversity, the revamp of the original character has made her shorter and curvier than before.

Frankie Stein, the child of Dr. and Dr. Stein, is determined to not let societal norms get in their way. Frankie is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. Frankie is the tallest of the other ghouls and uses a prosthetic leg.

Lagoona is from the coast of Honduras and a proud Latina.

In Deuce Gorgon's story, fans who were already familiar with his mom, Medusa, will finally be introduced to his mother, Lyra.

Embracing its mission of acceptance and cultivating community, Monster High is partnering with DoSomething.org, one of the largest organizations exclusively for young people and social change that brings kids together and gives them a sense of belonging. Monster High and DoSomething will help teenagers foster meaningful relationships by providing a template for students to create welcome guides and welcome notes to share with younger students in their schools, to help them feel a sense of welcome and belonging at the start of the 2022 school year. Additionally, Mattel will donate $1 to DoSomething for each Ghoulia Yelps doll sold at Target. The funds will go directly to support mental health initiatives for young people."
