#and check your privilege

[ednav]

Of course I love how Benoit Blanc is so shamelessly, fabulously, himself. How he’s gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide [GNU Terry Pratchett]. How he doesn’t hide that his brain is peculiar, for better or for worse. How he picks the cases he likes.

But I also love that in Glass Onion Rian Johnson shows us that Blanc can choose to be himself because he’s protected by his privilege of rich, upper-class, white man.

Which in turn leads me to notice how in both movies Blanc uses his privilege to protect a working-class woman and a Black woman, but he always refuses to be their saviour. He just creates the conditions in which they can choose to be themselves and save themselves—and punish their oppressors.

[Edit: A couple of people pointed out that Marta is actually white, even if the Thrombeys would probably disagree. I’d add that Helen isn’t exactly working-class, she’s simply less rich than the Disruptors shitheads. Anyway: I apologise—I’ve edited the post.]

"Failure is a choice" is just such a privileged way of looking at everything, like, where do I even start.

I hate the law of attraction/law of assumption people so much.

So today I was reminded that a Jewish person is not allowed to define Jewish experiences and ideologies and must accept the definitions of other as superior, and that our opinions about our experience are less impotent then the opinions of Goyims on our experiences.

also that people really think that being a second class citizen is what is considered as the most equal existence that Jews can aspire to.

Check your biases

man, I hate how difficult it is to find consistently good hypno stuff out there. Hypno isn't hard to find, but finding blogs or whatever that share our taste consistently enough to be worth following is a huge fuckin pain. Where's the hypno that focuses on the comfort of the subject before busting out "You belong to me, the hypnotist, now"? Where's the hypno that's not about being sexual, even if there's a focus on pleasure? Where's the hypno that bothers to earn its power over you?? That takes your hand and leads you gently into trusting, safe trance? That doesn't ask you to perform desperation or submission out the gate, or maybe even ever? I want to be brought into trance, inspired to submit, I want to want to obey, not just to be told to.

#hypnosis #we are not desperate for subs we are not desperate for doms we just want a break where we don't have to think or perform #and maybe we're just picky and ace #but when we go fishing for good hypno content it feels like we're one of maybe 3 motherfuckers online with taste and standards #Knowing how to pull a collar isn't good enough. You have to give me a reason to want it from *you.* #Prove that you DESERVE my submission. Treat it like a privilege， not a commodity you deserve just because you can post spirals online. #I'm not a cheap toy. I'm a delicacy and deserve to be treated as such♡ #and yeah yeah I'm sure bitching about how the hypno scattered about on tumblr is insufficiently queer and intimate is clownshoes behavior #but seriously some of y'all need to raise your standards. whoof. #mumblr #problemnyatic thoughts #check th notes for the better version of this post

Friendly reminder…you don’t ever have to publicly specify the “self” part of self-diagnosed. if you don’t want to. because I know it can sometimes feel like a caveat that you’re obligated to disclose but the thing is, you’re not even obligated to disclose your diagnoses in the first place, much less the source. so you can just say diagnosed. if you prefer. to feel safe and avoid scrutiny or fake-claims or for any other reason. because it’s the truth, it’s not even a lie. self-diagnosed is diagnosed

just saw a semi-popular stim blog say "if you deny the atrocities of october 7th dni I was in israel at the time and I was so scared >:(" damn that's crazy. I can't imagine what it's been like to be anywhere in palestine for the past 75 years

#the way that user could post freely online and say they WERE scared #when palestinians have been under nonstop bombardment for MONTHS and are STILL scared EVERY DAY #the epitome of needing to check your privilege #palestine will be free

I grew up in two very heterosexual conservative and boring regional/rural parts of NZ and Australia so when lindsay Lohan was dating samantha Ronson back in like 2008 I think that was the first time I realised that women could actually do that. I was shocked and confused. I was intrigued. I remember wondering if lindsay knew that sam was actually a woman or if she got confused because sam looked masculine??? (Wtf?) I wanted it for myself! I felt a little embarrassed when I saw them in the tabloids because I felt like people were seeing me. You remember feeling like that? I remember those feelings so clearly

This new "Buy Nothing Month" trend is so cute, like it's really clear who didn't grow up relying on government-issued powdered milk to keep from starving, it's adorable

#especially when they pick February to try it #Buy Nothing Month is the new Slumming for the insta generation #you ''decorated'' your condo like the world's saddest greige office cubicle & you're telling me you have a spending problem?? HOW? on WHAT #to be clear. it's not the curbing needless spending and consumption. it's the fucking bragging about it. #Check Your Privilege needs to make a comeback as a concept

“I don’t even have a name in my own story”

ok but in said story’s defense: neither does Cinderella. Cinderella as a name is smth the english came up with for their translation, Aschenputtel is a (derogatory) job description, not a name

#dimension 20 spoilers #dimension 20 #dimension 20 neverafter #cinderella #aschenputtel #honestly pretty sure noone has names in og grimm fairytales #kind of what you get from collecting folk tales abt anything other than like named gods like various mythologies' pantheons #edit: ok to clarify for english/non-german speakers as I just had to block someone trying to um actually me without knowing fucking german #-ella implies a name or nickname therefore cinderella by its very nature is taking a noun and making it a name #Puttel is a word unto itself not a name suffix #Aschenputtel is fully just a noun not a name not even trying to be a name #(a derogatory one but a noun nonetheless) #I know 6 languages german is my second I've known it since I can remember had it for like 13 years in school and spent the first 19 years #of my life watching almost exclusively german TV #and english is my fifth and I am american-passing-level fluid in it #anyone who feels like um actually-ing me about my second language that they do not speak needs to please check their anglocentric privilege #or will get blocked under my zero tolerance 'no bad vibes' policy #this has been the second PSA of the day thank you for your attention #please don't be dickheads to strangers on the internet

I don't know anything anymore

Do you think this fandom will ever stop making fun of short people

#heightism is strong with this one #this was literally my first thought in the morning and i have. a bad day so you have to read it now #sorry i had a series of very bad days and i dont care about anything anymore #if you think it is funny to call someone shorter than you “pocket sized” then maybe check your privilege #and maybe accept that short men can be hot and there is nothing weird about it #idk idk all my life ive been attracted to shorter guys and you probably have no idea how scarred most of them are #people come in all shapes and sizes and if you find it funny then it would be nice to keep it to yourself #it's 2024 already and how how how are people still not used to this
