Queen of Overthinking

it’s so true that the greatest weapon against nihilism and existential despair is to find joy in the mundane and never stop chasing after love

yo so here are some things the ddos attack on ao3 should NOT provoke you to do:

• decide that this is an excuse to be racist and islamophobic about who you think the attackers are (which is likely a front anyway)
• assume that the people who care about fighting racism and the mistreatment of volunteers by otw are in alignment with this (if we were, why would we be doing all this work to try and make otw better)
• use this as a reason to defend any lack of change on ao3 because it’s too “at-risk” (fixing otw’s dysfunction could only better serve the organization in emergencies)
• think that the only way you can support the volunteers who are working hard to fix this is by donating to otw (the volunteers aren’t going to be paid, and otw has $2.5 million in surplus that not only isn’t being used for anything but has only earned $90 in interest in a year because it’s not even invested well, it’s just sitting there)

what it should provoke you to do - push the otw board to make changes, including:

• addressing the racism that already makes ao3 and otw a hostile space for many fans of color, including volunteers
• paying for workers and services with that budget surplus to help keep volunteers from burning out constantly
• hold the board and the legal committee accountable to the volunteers who have already been mistreated and put at risk by their actions
• probably more things! these are just off the top of my head idk!

tbh there’s so much dysfunction in this org that it’s really hard to know where to start. but the knee-jerk racist and “it’s the antis out to bring ao3 down!!!” reactions are ridiculous, come on

alright so during into the spider-verse’s introduction to peter b. parker, we see his wedding, and he stomps on the wine glass right? this is a jewish wedding tradition, which makes this version of peter parker jewish (further confirmed in interviews – however, i believe this is enough by itself). it’s a nice nod to the jewish roots of the character.

we get to see a bunch of peter parkers throughout the spider-verse films, and none of them have any explicit religious associations like peter b. parker. except for one!

here we have gwen stacy’s peter parker and aunt may, from earth-65, saying grace over a meal. from my understanding, this is generally a christian practice – in judaism, we prefer to say short prayers before eating, and save the long, in-depth ones for afterwards. so to me, this was a clear example of the character being coded as christian. i was a little disappointed that they didn’t make peter parker jewish here too, but since across the spider-verse discusses variants and the differences between instances of the same person between different universes, i interpreted this as a continued commentary on peter parker’s ethnicity – although he was initially jewish-coded and one of his two creators, stan lee, is jewish, this is often erased, especially in more modern interpretations of the character.

and then i remembered that this peter parker also literally turns into the lizard.

and y'know what? good call on that one guys.

NOTHING makes me more mad than people shoving aside creepy behavior just because the person in question is neurodivergent and doesn’t pick up on social skills well. there was this girl in high school who got way too touchy with me no matter how many times I told her to stop and the fucking school guidance counselor and school psychologist were like “well you can’t blame her because she can’t pick up on social cues well”. i’m neurodivergent too but if someone begs me to stop doing something it’s kind of fucking clear they don’t like it???

just the way people approach neurodivergency is so infantilizing I hate it. if you ever reblog a post about how it’s ableist to react angrily to someone invading your space i’ll fucking kill you. half the things you guys call ableism are just straight up not, and this isn’t even a tumblr thing, it’s something supposed medical professionals believe.

It’s no longer a social cue if someone says “stop, i don’t like that” it’s literally just someone verbalizing what they expect you to do. which is stop.

This is actually something I was thinking about is that rent can not exceed 1/3 of monthly minimum wage income.

So let’s say state is on federal Minimum wage which is about 1100 a month so in that state no matter what rent on any place could not exceed 370 dollars.

Even if minimum wage was 15 dollars (about 2400 a month) max rent could be 800

So if landlord want more money they would have to fight bosses and state legislature to get it.

Like average Pennsylvania rent is 1400 and in this world if landlord wanted to charge that the would have to get minimum wage raised to 26 dollars an hour.

To bosses and landlords:

Girl underwear is supposed to match? Remind me never to trans my gender it's hard enough finding 2 socks the same.

doubleca5t:

It’s not that it’s supposed to match it’s more like 90% of the time no one matches their bra and underwear so when you actually do it you feel extremely powerful it’s like when you equip every piece from a set of armor in an MMO and it gives your character a stat bonus

why r u so insane abt the bike helmets

sexhaver:

again, as someone who literally lived in Amsterdam and used a bike as my main form of transit for a year, I Get It. i get that helmets mess up your hair and can get hot on sunny days and are obnoxious to carry around/hang off your bike and the bike lane infrastructure means the average person will never get hit by a car. i don’t even wear my helmet all the time. I Get It.

but the thing is, i’m painfully aware that this is a calculated risk i’m taking. i’m aware that i’m valuing guaranteed convenience over the possibility of literally saving my life if an accident happens. and up until this latest round of disc horse, i assumed other Dutch people were in the same boat: aware of the risks, but choosing to ignore them for the sake of convenience. and while that is objectively kind of a dumb decision, it only affects the person making it, so it’s a completely victimless “crime”.

so imagine my surprise to learn that a significant majority of Dutch people unironically believe that helmets are not just “more trouble than they’re worth” but are in fact totally useless! there are people on here in 2023 proudly asserting that the only reason you’d need a helmet is for collisions involving cars, or that the Dutch are “taught how to fall” in such a way that protects their noggins from slamming into the concrete from 11 feet in the air (average Dutch height).

like, i know cigs and vapes are gonna give me cancer or worse eventually, and so does everyone else using them, but that’s a long-term risk everyone is aware of and disregarding in favor of immediate pleasure. this bike helmet discourse is the equivalent of finding a smoker going through 2 packs a day and claiming that it’s actually impossible for them to get cancer because they’re smoking healthy, organic, Dutch cigarettes
