Oh It Still Happens Plenty. Issue Is, Most Don’t Know How To Share It.

I think my future self just walked into this coffee shop. Brb gonna find out.

Pedestrian: What are you doing?

Me, mid panic attack, holding on to a tree for dear life: just chillin’.

Me: am i evil cause i don’t let people treat me like shit and know my worth? Will that mean that i am forever alone due to my lofty standards (being treated like a person)?

My mother, 12 years earlier: you are evil cause you don’t let people treat you like shit and know your worth. that will mean that you are forever alone due to your unrealistic and lofty standards

Things my grandma thinks “made me” a homosexual:

#1 Disturbia by Rihanna was the first ringtone I ever got on my flip phone.

It is fucking devastating when you realize how little women, particularly queer women, mean to anyone.

My city had 20 Pride Month events last year. Six were explicitly for gay men. Five more centered gay men, and happened in gay men’s bars.

Two were for WLW. One got canceled, the other got turned into a “Ladies Night” so more straight women felt welcome.

None of the posters had women on them.

I live in one of the gayest cities in the country.

I swear I meant this to be a writing blog where I distract myself from my obligations but I keep thinking about Batman on main

Why did no one bother to tell me the climax of Limitless (2011) is Bradley Cooper going through withdrawals as he drinks a loan sharks blood for a hit?

Sometimes I think about putting my essays on substack or something but the idea of getting no views while actively feeding the ai scrapbot makes me want to

So.

Glad to bring new posts to the feeding grounds for my (checks stats) 7- no we’re back down to 6-, 6 whole followers!!

"There's millions of Tumblr users" to you. To me There's only about 12 and we all reblog the same five posts from each other

No. We did. We do. You need to understand that we deserve good art. We deserve media that is both incredible at teaching the broad public very complicated philosophical theory, as well as be funny as shit. We don’t just deserve it, we need it.

Many people quit learning anything new after High School or College, if they attend. They have been traumatized by the education system so severely that they have a panic attack if they need to learn a new program for a job. People refuse to learn things because they seem hard, or because it sounds like something someone Smart would know.

Learning doesn’t need to be scary. Shows like this can do more to undo some of that fear of learning. Shows like this prove that people ARE interested in philosophy! People want to be good to each other! People can follow dense lecture and lore, as long as you contextualize it with something they’re already familiar with.

We can change things. Please, believe me. It doesn’t need to be like this.

Tldr; the Good Place is Sesame Street for adults, we DO deserve it, and we need to stop expecting television that has the same quality as Adult CocoMelon.

we really didn't deserve The Good Place. a bizarrely high-budget sitcom telling a longform, highly conceptual story that you need to have been watching from episode one, which was allowed to play out at its own pace and wrap things up when it intended to, and it didn't even lose steam over its four seasons. that's practically proof of the existence of a loving god
