if israel is charged for war crimes, never ever let the support for palestine stop. it will take generations to repair what’s been done. and there’s no way to repair the hearts of those who lost their entire families, children, loved ones, limbs, etc. the most we can do is rally to dismantle israel entirely. only then can the fallen rest easy.

he failed even at that, before his term US inconditional support for israel was a given and absolutely not in question, now most of the US population is against it, which is quite a fundamental change

The British Government is taking the Scottish Government to court to cover the British Government’s expenses that they occurred when the Scottish Government had to take the British Government to court because the British Government, with no precedent, decided to block the Scottish Government from implementing Gender Recognition Act Reform to make a long bureaucratic process a tiny bit easier for trans people.

Those who were once oppressed under an Apartheid regime have stepped up to help those being oppressed under another one.

Meanwhile, the so-called “free” world is still trying to find ways to justify “standing with” and defending Israel’s rogue racist Apartheid regime.

They should feel deep shame. They don’t. But they all should.

A linguistic analysis of tumblr hyperbole in the tags

This post expands my previous analysis of hyperbolic reactions to cluster tags by themes. There were too many themes, some of them overlapping, to create a cohesive graph. Instead, I present several overarching themes from a data set of 50 tags observed and documented in various corners of tumblr.

1. Feeling Normal™️

Tags within this cluster profess Normal feelings (read: extreme excitement, enthusiasm, obsession, derangement, etc.).

#mmmmrrrghuhhhhghhh #I’m so normal about it teehee
#absolutely not rending my clothing #feeling very normal and not feral at all
#i will simply never recover #gif sets sent to personally destroy me
#i can’t cope #the eyes #i’m a puddle
#i am INCONSOLABLE #i am DISTRAUGHT
#IM NOT OKKAAAAAAYYYYYY
#FEELING TOTALLY ONE HUNDRED PERCENT NORMAL

2. Feralness

The following data points conjure animalistic behavior. There’s a non-zero amount of biting and chewing involved.

#chomping biting barking
#biting my arms off
#rattling my cage
#[incoherent biting noises]
#chewing glass
#chewing through wood
#*shaking the bars of my enclosure* HELLO!!!!!!!!
#climbing the walls
#biting gnawing chewing
#im gonna rip off my front door and eat it

3. Noisy Emotional Outbursts

These tags encompass crying, screaming, yelling, and other loud reactions.

# shaking sobbing crying
#SCREAMIIIING BANGING MY HEAD ON THE WALL
#*no thoughts only wailing*
#i am SOBBING
#IM CRYING LIKE A BITCH
#*just fucking yelling*
#S C R E A M
#screeching into a pillow
#brb sobbing for 5-7 business years

4. Throwing

All of these tags except the last one involve being thrown instead of throwing things. I, personally, am entertained by the range of places/situations people are throwing themselves into.

#i am going to THROW MYSELF into the SEA
#hurl me into the sea
#hurl me into the sun
#trebuchet me into the sun
#hurl me straight at europa
#vent me out of an airlock
#slam me against a wall
#put me in a box and throw me down the stairs
#throwing myself into traffic you know?
#just defenestrate me already
#defenestrate me #absolutely hurl me through plate glass
#i’m going to start tossing furniture

5. Bodily Harm

There’s a good deal of overlap with the previous theme. Nearly all of the tags involving throwing would result in varying degrees of bodily harm. Here are the tags outside of the Throwing subgroup.  

#im going to throw upppppp
#tearing my hair out
#banging my head against the wall
#SCREAMIIIING BANGING MY HEAD ON THE WALL
#biting my arms off
#microwaving myself
#crumple me up and microwave me

6. Absurdism

My personal favorite cluster. The imagery conjured and resulting comedic hyperbole is just [chef’s kiss].

#im gonna rip off my front door and eat it
#crumple me up and microwave me
#put me in a box and throw me down the stairs
#defenestrate me #absolutely hurl me through plate glass

7. Keysmashes

These tags center less around meaning and more around style, so they form the last group. A handful of these could fall under Noisy Emotional Outbursts because they represent reaction noises. In my linguistic judgment, keysmashing increases the hyperbole – consider augh versus aughfhghghghhh – the latter reads as prolonged and more intense emotionally.

#aghdjakgsjadhjaka *
#hrhrhrhgnnnghhhhh
#aughfhghghghhh
#mmmmrrrghuhhhhghhh #I’m so normal about it teehee
#waughfhghghh
#oughhhhghghhh

*one digression in a friend discord server was how people interpret keysmashes in their minds. Some hear the first couple letters and then some sputtering, others hear static. It’s a common joke that you need a minor in linguistics to understand conversations in this friend group. Such is the nature of things when the chaos linguist energy is strong.

My hypothesis is that in like 10 years gen z is gonna have a big cult boom the way the boomers did in the 70s

It’s already happening on tik tok. There’s a fun new thing going round that’s citing common symptoms of depression and anxiety as signs you’re about to have your awakening and that you are actually an alien and the reason you don’t feel right is because you’re home sick for your own galaxy. So that’s fun.

agreed, and i don’t mean this in a “haha gen z is so dumb they’re gonna join a tiktok cult lmao” i mean that conditions are perfect for the formation of cults right now.

• high unemployment and a lot of underpaying, pointless jobs = people are looking for things to do with their life, a purpose
• skyrocketing cost of living = most young people will not be able to live on their own, meaning some will end up in a group living situation with people interested in recruiting them
• it’s a time of great cultural and political upheaval, nothing feels real, people are desperate for meaning and human connection. cults promise that
• there is a new wave of acceptance and understanding for ways of life outside the norm, which is great! …except for when cult leaders tell you abusive and controlling practices are just their culture, their religion, their lifestyle, their beliefs, their tradition, and if you disrespect it you are the problem
• social media influencers have already shown us how easy it is to build a cult of personality and attract people from anywhere in the world who are interested in the exact brand you are selling
• spirtuality is having a boom, as are things like astrology, crystals, tarot, meditation, energy… those things aren’t bad on their own but they are often used as tools of cult spaces
• wellness. i think a lot of people are already in wellness cults. you can make people do a lot of things in the name of “wellness” and a big factor of maintaining a cult is keeping members in a state of decreased cognition….. like say, with regular fasting
• i think people are just unaware in general of how cults function, especially because the satanic panic was a big stupid false alarm that convinced the youths that dungeons and dragons or doom were gateways to cults, which are scary evil child murdering, satan-worshipping gangs. people don’t know how to spot them in real life.

[ID:  Spongebob wrestling meme format. Buff Patrick labeled “predatory cult” flexes and growls in a wrestling ring at a stern, buff Spongebob labeled “my intelligence”. In his corner Mr Crabs is labeled “my education”. Final panel shows Patrick and whistling Spongebob walking out hand-in-hand, both labeled “rationalizing why this isn’t really a cult” /ID]

(This is actually more relevant here than standalone.) 

Our popular media has tended to portray people in cults as ignorant or as losers when that’s really not how they work. Cults don’t want dead weight they have to support; they want talented, clever, energetic people they can exploit to siphon wealth and labor out of.

Some are religious, but some are political. You find yourself moving into a house full of Maoist revolutionaries because capitalism really is that awful and ecological collapse is imminent—but for some reason, the leader of the self-crit sessions is also the person everyone else in the house is in a polyamorous relationship with, and they can’t see anyone else outside of the house without her approval. Or you need a little extra money and you get told you’d be so good at selling Keto products. You’re a natural, and after you get through these first tough months, the leg under you will be developed enough you only have to work if you wanna hit bigger goals. Etc.

Loneliness, a lack of purpose, and desperation all make you susceptible to cults no matter how smart you are. In fact, your very clever brain is also extremely capable of redirecting your thoughts away from realizing you’re being exploited and abused because, after all, you’re not some idiot, are you? 

We’ve got a ton of very clever young people fully aware that they’re going to have to suffer through decisions of the selfish dead, and they’re going to crave salvation of all different kinds because the future is going to suck, and it won’t have been their fault, and they won’t be able to do anything to stop it. 

How to spot when you’re in a cult

You may be thinking still “I’m not one of those WEAK MINDED FOOLS who would join a cult” let me remind you that there’s no one type of person who joins cults. But lots of people who join cults do so when their life is in some kind of crisis and they are extremely vulnerable, seeking a place to belong or escape.

Right now, I have a place to belong and I’m happy and I am hyper vigilant about high control environments and I probably wouldn’t join a cult…but if I had recently lost my job? My partner passed away? If a handful of my friends who function as family left Texas? If my house burned down? If I began struggling with addiction? If I became very ill? Who knows what I would do if just the wrong kind of predatory group bumped into my life at just the wrong time?

All cults start with some level of reasonable introduction. The whole boiling frog metaphor…none of us are as bulletproof to social manipulation and control as we may wish we are. Our circumstances impact us greatly.

I very much think we are not only going to but are already seeing modern cults in a big way. And it’s interesting how many of them are led by women. Gwen Shamblin Lara. Teal Swan. Mother God.

Campaign to make The God of Arepo an award winning work and win a literal brick as a trophy for the authors and for Tumblr community as a whole (SUCCEEDED!!!! Update below)

ALT

As the artist for one of The God of Arepo comics, my version is up for consideration for the Ignatz Awards for Outstanding Online Comic.

ALT

For those of you who don’t know the Ignatz is one of the highest industry awards that “recognize outstanding achievements in comics and cartooning by small press creators or creator-owned projects published by larger publishers”.

The thing is, winning the award means winning an actual literal brick. Because the mascot is a brick-throwing mouse. So they have to make a bit where the trophy is a brick. Like. Look.

ALT

For a long time I thought it was just plain bricks they were handing out, but my friend who won a couple of bricks two years ago had theirs stamped (I saw the bricks in person at their house). So now I am obsessed with the idea of The God of Arepo winning an Ignatz trophy. It will have the honours stamped. On a freaking brick. That’s the most Tumblr level meme trophy this comic/story could win (which is also a legit high honour industry award on its own btw don’t get me wrong).

But wilder than that, the brick allows me to do something. It allows me to smash that break into 5 pieces and ship one of each to the authors plus myself. Writing Prompts, sadoeuphemist, ciiriianan, stu-pot and me will get a piece of clay in recognition for our work with the farmer who built a temple out of stone. The full circle moment.

ALT

Imagine the value of this win to the lore of this Tumblr sacred text/folklore. This brick will be smashed and given to the creators, but as a collective folklore, it’s also dedicated to all of us on this hellsite too. AWARD WINNING. If The God of Arepo wins I will document the entire process of smashing that brick here.

But we have to make this happen. We need to gather our collective energy and make this campaign work.

Please help make The God of Arepo an award-winning story and vote for it in the Outstanding Online Comic category (link). You will need to request a ballot, then submit your vote. I recommend checking out the other nominated comics too. The Ignatz really shortlists good stuff.

The voting closes September 8 2023 .

LET’S GET THE GOD OF AREPO A BRICK FOR HIS TEMPLE!! LET’S GO!!!! REBLOGS HELP TOO!!

ALT

THE GOD OF AREPO IS NOW AN AWARD-WINNING TUMBLR FOLKLORE!!!!!

WE GOT THE BRICK! WE ARE GETTING ARCHIVED INTO THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS!!! Hell yeah!! Making Tumblr history!!

I have a pretty strong idea now for how I want to smash up the brick and divide between us creators: the TL;DR is that I’m going to use the smallest pieces to build a cairn inside a pseudo-terrarium award stand. (x5)

Follow me if you want to witness the brick smashing and terrarium constructing.

But omg thank you everyone!! I had no idea if this campaign would work. I’m so honoured to be able to contribute this opportunity for everyone. :,)

I know her tumblr would be fire

One of my sister’s friends posted something about her attic being creepy and it ended up getting 50k notes as everyone argued about why it was creepy, whether it was real, and if it was actually just perfectly reasonable.

Candace would have dozens of posts like that with her describing some crazy shenanigans of her brothers and a couple weirdly out of focus pics attached.

They’d blow up initially with people scoffing about how dumb it is but then someone pipes up with “oh yeah the rocket race around the world was crazy when they came through our town”. And suddenly other people are adding their own photos or reblogs.

Sadly when Candice thinks she has proof and shows her mom, Tumblr’s search function tells her they can’t find any records of her own post.

taking off a mask to reveal what lies beneath as a romantic gesture is overdone, and besides i want to see the romantic or even platonic potential of protecting someone’s identity beneath the mask, without any expectation of ever being allowed to see what’s under it. picking it up and holding it gently to their face when it’s knocked off and they’re in danger of being exposed, without trying to catch a glimpse of what they “really” look like under there. throwing yourself in front of them to hide them from view while they put themselves back together without taking advantage or looking back to see what you’re protecting. learning to read them by body language, tone of voice, and behaviour so well that you never need to see their face to feel like you know and understand them.

and needless to say. the mask stays on during sex.

Unfortunately, my friend Eddie’s situation has continued to deteriorate rapidly and he is now facing eviction. So I’m giving Eddie’s GoFundMe campaign another bump: https://gofund.me/e5e0a610.

Eddie is a talented artist (you can see an example of his work on the GoFundMe) and a kind person who’s taken responsibility for pets his former housemates have abandoned despite his own difficult situation. It’s been heartbreaking to watch him struggle for more than a year to survive against the odds while people in his area have stolen parts off of his car, vandalized his property with homophobic slurs, and even broken into his home and garden on more than one occasion.

If you’re able to make even a small donation of $5 or $20, or to share Eddie’s GoFundMe campaign with your networks, I would be incredibly grateful for your support in helping him to move to a more tolerant area where he can live in safety. Thank you to anyone who read this far. ♥️
