To me, the best embodiment of modern capitalism is in the phrase "please hold, we are experiencing higher than usual call volume". I know it's a lie. You know it's a lie. But you still hear that line every time you call, regardless of the day or time, because it shifts the blame. It tries to prompt you to blame the other callers instead of asking, "Hey, why are they deliberately understaffing their call centers and making it so difficult to get help?" It takes a failing caused by a deliberate, profit-focused management choice, and turns it into a problem with the people using the system, rather than one with the system itself. And that pattern, to me, is the epitome of the modern corporate system.

Positive post: I like math, it's cool and useful! The culture of blindly hating math is a problem in an increasingly anti-intellectual society. We need some revisions to the way it's taught to make it more accessible and relevant. In fact, an entire branch of science isn't arcane devil magic!
Comment on tumblr "how dare you say we piss on the poor" dot com: you weren't talking to me but this is ableist because some people have dyscalculia
Record scratch.
Every single post I've seen about enjoying math inevitably has at least one comment like this and it entirely misses the point on multiple levels. Would you say reading and literacy is ableist because some people have dyslexia? No, so leave math alone.
Not everyone can do higher dimensional calculus, but not everyone can read middle English or carve a marble statue either. The experts in each field find great beauty in what they study. Isn't the human spirit of exploration and creativity great?
Like... I use a cane, are athletes ableist because not everyone can participate? I have food allergies, is the dairy industry ableist? Is the sun itself ableist because I get migraines? My hands shake and make it impossible to create precise lines and painful to hold an instrument for more than one minute, is the entire field of visual arts and the community around artists ableist?
The rhythms of calculus and physics are as beautiful as a symphony or a poem or a painting, get out of my house

Yniol reminds me a bit of a sad puppy. So if MC also has sad puppy energy, then Morien would just be surrounded by sad puppy-ness in the Morien/Yniol poly
Morien: *says something self-deprecating*
Yniol and MC: *gives them the saddest puppy dog eyes you've ever seen*

It's ironic that when I finally give in to sharing something about my emotions, they start withholding themselves from me

Every time I check twitter for Ewan Mitchell posts there has to be this one qrt/comment from this one person with questionable looks mocking his appearance or saying some offensive shit just for the sake of it. What did he even do to you? What do you even know about him? Did he hurt you personally? Or are you just so insecure that you feel the need to mock other people's appearances in order to feel better about yourself? Is his popularity hurting your feelings or something?
And now I'm thinking about it, what if he sees these comments? He seems shy and God knows if he has social anxiety or something, or if it's some underlying self consciousness that's causing this. What if he sees this?

seeing sanji and brook simping over yamato in the latest chapter does not give me hope that oda won't pull a one-eighty with yamato's gender identity. like, i get it, he's hot so i don't blame sanji or brook (all the better if they canonically simp over a guy imo), but f#%k if one piece actually reneges on yamato being a man im going to be so disappointed

I swear, if one more fricken old lady says to me, "Oh, honey, just wait until you get to my age," when I mention my deteriorating body, I'm going to get violent.
LISTEN LINDA, I'M 27 YEARS OLD AND I'VE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH OSTEOPOROSIS
LEAVE ME THE HECK ALONE
