A couple of years ago we were all terribly concerned about the fact that a lot of American high schools are assigning such crushing homework loads that some kids literally don’t have enough time to eat or sleep (and all this in spite of the fact that there’s no good evidence that assigning homework actually improves academic outcomes at the pre-university level), but now we’re hearing stories about those same schools struggling to stop kids from using ChatGPT to write their essays and suddenly It’s The Children Who Are Wrong. Like, do you think maybe there’s a certain level of cause and effect in play here?
“Okay, but what if both are bad” see, I don’t think any framing that implicitly puts the school administration that thinks it’s reasonable to assign thirty hours of homework per week and the student who has to choose between writing an essay the old-fashioned way and getting more than two hours of sleep tonight on equal ethical footing is productive.
I procrastinate so much that I have a gaping hole of dread inside my chest where I think my other emotions are supposed to go. unless a potential employer is reading this, in which case I don’t do that & I have all the normal emotions that human beings have & I love capitalism
ariel being white has absolutely nothing to do with the little mermaid story. her race does not impact the story one bit, so you cant use the argument “well what if we made tiana from princess and the frog white? making ariel black is no different!” bc actually, it is. tiana’s story is GREATLY impacted by her being a black woman trying to own a business in the old times. you cant use that argument with mulan, you can’t that argument with pocahontas, you can’t use that argument with moana, bc their culture is quite literally a very big part of their story. thats the tea luv ariel is black
yall rly wanna push anything and everything
the fuck are you talking about. stan loona
Yeah but??? Ariel isn’t black????? She was written and drawn white???????? And she’s supposed to be visually accurate?????????????????? I would also have an issue with it if they changed her hair colour??????????????????????? And it isn’t specifically about her skincolour but the fact that they changed something about her??????????????????????????????????
boo boo pee pee poo poo?????????? pee pee goo goo ga ga????????????? wee weee baba coo coo weewa??????????????????? bobbo baba??????????????
every day british actors wake up and think to themselves fuckkkkk i HAVE to help the incredibly bigoted woman make more money so she can funnel it into killing trans people i have to do it bro if i don’t do it i will die
In case y'all needed proof that continuing to engage with HP and fucking over trans folks is in fact a CHOICE, Daniel Radcliffe has refused to even have a cameo, despite being repeatedly asked.
For those that don’t speak British, this is about as close as he can get to officially, publicly saying, “for FUCK’S sake, get that thing away from me and stop associating me with it, I do not want my name attached to that bigotry.”
Daniel consistently redirects the topic away from Jo and toward the Trevor Project, an organization he has been heavily involved with for almost 20 years. He puts his money where his mouth is and uses his platform and his reach to amplify queer voices and queer struggles. He explicitly supports trans people, and is choosing to walk away from a very large and very easy paycheck, because he values trans lives over anything he could get from HP.
Emma and Rupert also won’t go near this reboot. Jo has stated the reason she’s doing it is BECAUSE the three of them refuse to support her vile hatred.
Every actor who puts their name on this, on any level, deserves to own the choice they’re making with their whole chest. If they decide the paycheck is worth being ten toes down on transphobia? They’re adults. They chose. And they deserve to be treated accordingly. Actions speak louder than words.
And if you give it a moment of attention or a single penny, you deserve to face the consequences of that choice too.
the only censorship we need is the block, mute and filter option because giving others the power to dictate what can and cannot exist in fandom will eventually lead to banning all nsfw works or even slightly but nuanced ‘problematic’ topics. I block and move on because I don’t want to see certain things but to erase them completely is a dangerous slope to having things you like be banned eventually.

looking at chronic pain/illness scales i always get a little stumped on “it stops me from doing work/daily activities” as a descriptor because what if i’m just a wimp who cant handle a 2 yknow. what if i’m just a baby who doesnt know true pain.
