Seriously, if you constantly talk about how aces shouldn’t be allowed in lgbt+ spaces, even the “actual lgbt” aces aren’t going to feel safe. They’ll be afraid to talk about issues they have that are unique to them being ace, which honestly seems to be what some of you people want, considering you get mad at people having ace flags at pride.

Tip:

When it comes to stuff like racism, sexism, homophobia, etc, I’ve found it’s usually way better to think to yourself ‘I don’t want to be’ than ‘I’m not’.

I.e. if someone goes ‘that thing you just did is ableist’, instead of going ‘I’m not ableist, I don’t hate disabled people!’ it’s usually a lot better to go ‘I don’t want to be ableist, I should rethink what I’m doing/saying/etc in light of that fact’. Because that shifts your thinking so rather than jumping straight into denial and attempts to defend your character, you’re instead more inclined to look at how your actions could be misrepresenting your intentions. Or whether you’ve overlooked something, been callous, or acted in ignorance.

Good thinkin

Level 1: There exists a single objectively correct translation, and all localisatons should use it.

Level 2: It’s impossible for a translation’s text ever to perfectly match the connotations and cultural context of the original text, so all translations are equally wrong.

Level 3: None of the original text’s readers brought the exact same set of assumptions and experiences to the act of reading it as the author brought to the act of writing it; before we can judge a translation as “right” or “wrong”, we have to ask: right or wrong from whose perspective?

Level 4: Localisation is effectively a work of original authorship, so translation choices cannot be “right” or “wrong” in the abstract; they can only be more or less suited for a particular purpose.

Level 5: Add more dick jokes.

Hm. I must say, I was very anti-sport before but after being on tumblr.com for a while I definitely identify with jocks. Unlike nerds, they’ve never made me read sherlock mpreg miscarriage on the Harry Potter train AU Masterposts. They only wanna kick their balls and take booty pics. I’m sorry i took u for granted, jocks

The jocks were only trying to protect us all this time

They pushed nerds into lockers when no one else did

hey guys fun fact “uwu take a bubble bath and eat chocolate” self care and “get out of bed and take a mcfucking shower” self care aren’t mutually exclusive and making fun of the former bc u think the only self care mentally ill people should practice is the latter is uh how do i say. Odd to say the least

im having a bad executive dysfunction day & i just hung up my clean laundry & put the dirty laundry in the washing machine for tomorrow & tidied up the kitchen (wiped down the counters+stovetop and washed the pots i used to make dinner) so now i’m going to drink chocolate milk and build a blanket fort nd play pokemon for the rest of the night as a reward. see how that works

#literally both ‘uwu self-care’ and ‘you need to do this self-care’ are reliant on each other??? #one is to take care of your physical needs/responsibilities and the other is to keep you from becoming overwhelmed while doing so #and yeah sometimes you CAN’T do something and sometimes uwu doesn’t work but hey when is anything 100% reliable????? (tags via @absolutebeeb)

YES THANK YOU!

1. Please please pretty please stop assuming that uwu self care bloggers are a) neglecting our responsibilities to a degree that is unreasonable for our situation or b) advocating that others should do so. It bothers me so much to see people saying “But you can’t do that ALL the time!” when we’re not saying that.

2. If the reason why you don’t like relaxation posts is because you have trouble getting stuff done and you want help with that, OWN THAT. It is OK to need help with getting yourself to do cleaning, take a shower, etc. and not really need reminders to relax. It is not OK to act as if relaxation posts are about laziness when they serve a really important purpose for a ton of people – abled and disabled, neurotypical and neurodivergent.
