i hate the giant follow buttons all over the dashboard never in my life have i wanted to follow someone from the dashboard without looking at their blog first & i ESPECIALLY never want to follow someone just because my mutual reblogged from them. but i DO want to block people based off a single post on the dashboard all the time & hate that i have to go to their blog to do so. in an ideal world dashboard would look like this:
taking a class on sex this semester which has resulted in many fun things like “sex activity” and “sex final” being added to my planner. being very mature and serious about this .
obsessed
I had a class called “What is Evil?” The professor called us his “evil students” and I got to say things like: “I have evil class later.” and “I have readings in evil to do.” and “Well my evil professor said…”
It drives me insane how many people dont realise how often they break the law and that if the full force of it was ever applied life would basically be unliveable. Like between traffic violations, petty workplace theft, account sharing and piracy alongside how common it is to have been in posession of some illegal drug at some point in your life. People still manage to get away with thinking “criminals” are people who commit crimes not just populations that are surveilled enough to be routinely prosecuted
not only that, but because crime is penalized with fines there are ways in which society wouldn’t function correctly if everyone did follow the law.
think about how crazy that is. Parts of our society are structured so that if everybody did the right thing it would break the system.
off the top of my head i remember a debate in Santa Cruz when i lived there because they wanted to remove like 8 parking spots overlooking the beach to make that spot better for the public and i think safer for cyclists, and there was pushback from the city because those parking spots were metered and they needed the revenue from those spots
and everyone was like it’s 50 cents an hour on 8 spots, how much revenue could it be, and it turned out that what the city was relying on was the money from parking tickets on unpaid meters, which turned out to be quite a lot of money each year.
just one of the many ways that our system is designed such that crime is actually a necessary feature
looking for recipes so i can find out what to do with the four potatoes i spontaneously purchased when grocery shopping and then getting worried i might make something bad and then laughing when i remembered one of my all time favorite reddit posts + phrase i think about and vocal stim with all the time because of it
Genuinely don’t know what to do with myself now. I think Tamsyn Muir might have ruined all other books for me. Did you know most books don’t have Gideon Nav in them at all?? Like not even for a little bit?
