"i dont want to vote trump or biden bc they both suck" VOTE THIRD PARTY THEN!! If we don't all do it, it reinforces the idea that our votes don't matter. if you vote for one over the other, they think they can get away w the two party system. if you don't vote at all, they won't even know the difference because they'll still have a winner and no third-party contenders. if you want the electoral college gone, VOTE THIRD PARTY! they won't listen until we make them. this is called political efficacy. stop believing it's hopeless bc that is how they have the power to keep making decisions that the people don't agree with.

putting my prediction on record now that the coming decade is going to see the rise of viral-marketed fancy at-home water filtration systems, driving and driven by a drastic reduction in the quality of U.S. tap water (given that we are in a 'replacement era' where our current infrastructure is reaching the end of its lifespan--but isn't being replaced). also guessing that by the 2030s access to drinkable tap water will be a mainstream class issue, with low-income & unstably housed people increasingly forced to rely on expensive bottled water when they can't afford the up-front cost of at-home filtration--and with this being portrayed in media as a "moral failing" and short-sighted "choice," rather than a basic failure of our political & economic systems. really hope i'm just being alarmist, but plenty of this already happens in other countries, and the U.S. is in a state of decline, so. here's praying this post ages into irrelevance. timestamped April 2023

#apollo don't fucking touch this one #serious post #not a shitpost #hope i forget about this post and have no reason to ever look back on it one day #fyi i'm aware that access to potable water is already a major issue in parts of the U.S. yes i know flint michigan exists #i'm saying that this issue is going to GROW unless local & federal governments work together to fix it. #so it's a matter of if we trust them to fix it. And well--do you? #what are the chances the government just denies there's a problem until the water actually turns brown #at which point it's already been common knowledge for years and people have just become resigned and that's our new normal #i'm mean come on. how many of us already believe that we're being exposed to dangerous pollutants we don't know about and can't avoid #like that's pretty much just part of being a modern consumer. accepting that companies will happily endanger your life for a few pennies #and the most you'll get is like a $50 gift card as part of a class action rebate 20 years down the line #probably the history books will look back on Flint as a warning and a harbinger that went ignored #luxury condos will advertise their built-in top-of-the-line filtration systems--live here and you can drink water straight from your tap! #watch the elite professional class putting $700 dyson water filtration systems on their wedding registry #while the rest of us figure out how to fit water delivery into our grocery budget while putting 90% of our paycheck towards rent #also eggs are $15

Quit shaming people for having messy painted patches, that's not cool and the point of punk is working with what you have. I have very fucked up brushes and a small amount of paint most of the time so I can't pound it on there. I have no printers I can use and blades are extremely triggering for me. Is it readable? Yes? Then it's fine. I'm doing what I can, shaming me won't do shit. Plus, you're discouraging new punks from doing what they can with what they have and forcing them to buy from potentially horrible places. I don't have the best paint, I don't have the best brushes, I don't have the best fabric, fuck I don't have the best surfaces to paint on but I'm doing what I can. If you're shaming the people unable to afford certain things, that's not very punk of you.

Thinking a little bit about that one "I'm an English major and a professional as opposed to you amateurs" anon. Gonna roast 'em a little bit, but with the intention of addressing a thing we've had in mind for a while.

Real talk, coming from someone who WAS an English major; majoring in English is not necessarily a guarantee that someone is a good writer. For one, you can be bad at your major, full stop. For another, it's not even a guarantee that someone identifies as a writer to begin with. English as a major is pretty broad, and it covers reading too, among other things. There's library science, analytical academia, historical preservation & interpretation (MEDIEVAL MANUSCRIPTS HELL YES), editing, nonfiction trades (often crosses over with STEM majors), marketing (crosses over with business majors), and also book design and typography (<3 <3 <3 our favorite, crosses over with art majors).

Someone can major in English and take a specific minor with the goal of falling into a trade that is not writing literary fiction. In fact, we would argue that most people who get something useful out of their major are the ones that do that.

It's also worth noting that it's possible to be an English major focused on "lowbrow" fiction. There are people who major in English and use the experience towards the end of writing erotica. There are people who major in English with the intent to write genre fiction. There are people who major in English to study the history and social context of fanfiction.

These things are, in fact, worthy fields of study! The realm of the "amateur" is the realm where a lot of cultural conversations and innovations happen!

Expecting English as a major to be a tract specifically for producing acclaimed literary fictionists is not realistic, not how the discipline typically works, and it's certainly not a thing you can use to hold over other writers' heads. It is perfectly possible for people to write good things (professional-grade things even) without ever touching a college course.

I sat through so much bad writing in college. Technically bad, thematically bad, gramatically bad. And I routinely bump into non-graduate authors who write texts, formal and informal alike, that blow my own writing clean out of the water with their quality.

In short, dismissing other people in your general field as "amateurs" who are beneath you is an incredibly unprofessional thing to do.

#writeblr #basically this is an anti-elitism post #sometimes we see elitism creeping back into writeblr #and as academia enthusiasts we feel the need to respond to it by whacking it with a broom #because! if you were really dedicated to the honing and preservation of knowledge & skill! you would NOT! be! dismissing people offhand! #and you would especially not be putting them down to boost your own ego! #you would be learning from them or politely leaving them the FUCK alone to do their own thing while you focus on yours! #*general you here #i know we sound angry here but please imagine us saying all of this with wicked glee while whacking Amateur Anon with said broom #because we are saying it out of enthusiasm for the people who are making cool things around here #ourselves included because we are not allowed self-deprication anymore

This hogwarts legacy stuff really is separating the wheat from the chaff. If you can't bring yourself to not buy a video game, knowing what you know about the creator of the franchise's transphobia, antisemitism, racism, and the problematic elements of the game itself, you don't really care about these issues. It's just one fucking video game you're being asked to pass on. I'm sure there are a million other games, games you probably already bought and are just sitting there unfinished or unopened from a digital sale. You can pass on one game, it's not impossible!

It wouldn't be so maddening if people just said "fuck you I don't care I want to play the stupid wizard game" but no they want to be patted on the head and told that they're still a good person. You have to own your choices. If you felt any real guilt about this, going out of your way to buy a $60 video game (which is a luxury purchase) vs not and supporting a boycott should be a super easy decision. Stop lying to yourself and others, just play the wizard game and don't try to play activist/ally on the internet.
