the flaws of the phrase "are you normal about" being used for "are you rational and kind about" really becomes clear when someone says "sure, you're punk, but are you normal about [x group]?"
like. the point of being punk is not being normal by societal standards you walnut. say what you mean.

i found a book abt the anti lawn movement at the library & decided to sit out in my yard & read it. but ironically there was a neverending barage of power tool noises making it difficult to focus. so i walked to a nature park near me in order to escape the dreaded sounds. almost stopped at the mowed picnic table area bc i hate walking but fortunately pushed forward and made myself walk up an annoying hill to an area that is a preservation of a native oak savanna & sat down against a tree near the edge of the path & did my reading there. and honest to god that was a 100/10 experience. there was something so powerful abt being in a preserve for a locally native habitat while reading abt the impacts homeowners can have on native plant preservation! it powered up my energy towards my life mission (evangelize abt enviormentally sustainable gardening to every single person who comes within a 10 ft radius of me) by like. 15 points. also a deer walked up to me and that was super cool

I'm gonna get cancelled for saying it but god stop shaming people for not revolving their lives around the latest horror in the world. sure people should do what they can in terms of putting pressure on politicians they have access to, donating if they're able and so forth, but no the apathy isn't dystopian - it's actually a very normal response if people had the emotional responses you want every time something horrible happens they'd be broken people - which would do nothing to fix the problems in any way whatsoever. jesus some of you really.

I assume you got hate for that L&D ask? I'm sorry that was done. Feel better soon. Maybe say less next time.
i appreciate your kind words, thank you. however, while i'm sure you had the best intention with this, i don't think i will 'say less'. this is my blog, my space, and as long as i'm not actually causing harm to anyone or anything along that line, i think i'm allowed to have some degree of freedom regarding saying what i like/dislike and setting my boundaries. i'm sorry, but i'm not an influencer, nor a public figure who has the responsibility to spread positivity and be a role model to you all. i try as much as i can, of course, but that's not the purpose of this blog. i'm just a human being who needed an outlet for writing and wanted to connect with like-minded people.
what part was not 'right'? that i expressed, in my own blog, how i didn't want to try out a game because one of the reasons is i find the graphics of the fictional characters off-putting, when asked? that i likened a fictional game art style to a different franchise and objects you see all the time in adult site ads? that i never said anything about the people who do like the game and told them "i'm happy you found a game you like"? that i never, not even once, went to other people's posts or blog who posted that game's content to ruin their fun like a bastard? that i actively chose to use tumblr's filter instead? that even if the filter didn't work, i chose to scroll and ignore instead of bitching about it?
pray tell, what did i do wrong? why should i say less? since when am i not allowed to dislike things?
and a public psa ー i'm sorry, but bluntly speaking, if you take an affront when I expressed MY own opinion, WHEN PROMPTED, WITHIN MY OWN SPACE (and god forbid you retaliate like that anon(s?) by spamming me to shut the fuck up and kill myself), then that's really not my problem. it's an art direction, for god's sake. i adore zhongli, who gets memed and made fun of as a cockroach all the time; you don't see me screaming at people to stop.
learn that people may not like the things you like. learn to agree to disagree. learn to treat others as fellow human beings with likes and dislikes. learn to separate fiction from reality.
and seriously, if you're annoyed with my rambles or 'babblings' or the interactions with my friends, tumblr has a filter and block function. it's just a simple google away. give some peace to your own mind.

I can't believe I live in a reality where a white woman who was falsely accused of rape can sell BLM merch, keep the money, and be praised by tik tok, but a queer musician that everyone thinks is "cringe" gets canceled and accused "profiting from a child's death" by talking about Nex Benedict in a tik tok he earned $0 from, where all he said was "this is why I make the music that I do".

sorry to harp on this but i think long video essays have become this thing that people decide that they don't like personally, and like that's alright, but for some reason they have to justify that dislike by making it a moral discussion rather than something that just comes down to preference and not all of those videos being well made. like you can't just say "i don't like quinton reviews or hbomberguy cause their vids are too long and that's just not for me" you gotta say "quinton reviews and hbomberguy are DISGUSTING people for forcing their audience to watch HALF ASSED CONTENT and oh they just want your MONEY and they're not ARTISTS they don't CARE about you and they're scammers and-"

okay I'm gonna be the asshole for a minute: people should feel way less comfortable canceling on their friends. Especially last minute, especially if there are flights involved.
I know stuff comes up, but I am not talking about those instances. I am talking about situations where someone just didn't check their calendar until right before or decided they don't feel like hanging out anymore. It is rude to cancel on someone like that. It's a waste of my time when I could have made other plans, and frankly it's hurtful. Once or twice is fine, but a pattern of flakiness makes me feel like the friendship doesn't matter to the other person.
Honestly I think repeatedly bailing on coffee last minute is bad enough (you should treat your friends better than a first date off tinder), but it's so much worse when it's a trip. Like I have booked flights!!! You can't just "whoops, sorry" your way out of that one! I'm also the planner in most of my friendships, so when a trip or visit is cancelled, I've also wasted a bunch of time and effort planning what we're going to do, making reservations, etc. It's really hurtful to feel like not only does seeing me not matter but my time and effort are also yours to take or waste as you please.
Unless you're truly ill or have some kind of emergency, you should not be canceling on your friends last minute. It's selfish to put your feelings above your friend's feelings and time and effort. Making plans is a commitment, and if you can't commit, you should just say so, e.g., "I'm gonna be post-call that day, so I'm not sure if I'll feel up to it. Can I let you know how I'm feeling day of?" And then they can decide what to do with their time! But constantly flaking is rude.
