The more I get involved with local stuff, the more I find that all the good local stuff that creates community and continuity and value is run by old people. Yes, your much reviled boomers. They run the arts council and the craft guild and the other craft guild and the food pantry and the church free pancake dinners. They run the little art gallery downtown and the Master Gardeners and quite a lot of the farms. And there are few to no younger people coming up behind them to pass the torch to. The old people don’t know how to bridge the generation gap into the internet age, and the young people have unwittingly given up all the tremendous value of community for mobility, and/or have no free time in which to contribute to such things anyway because of the ever-growing struggle just to have enough.

Actually I think it’s something people should be very very worried about, but I suspect the whole picture is largely not visible to the people on either end.

honestly i like this it seems pretty cool man

HELLO MY LOVELIES WELCOME TO MY ACCOUNT <3

I mostly post about Kotlc, rant, and an aesthetic I made that I decided to call Ghostcore

I mostly only post about ghostcore lol

So here is the story behind ghostcore

I could never fit into an aesthetic. I wanted to be Goblincore, and fairy grunge, and dark académia, and SO MANY OTHER THINGS ALL AT ONCE

And I thought maybe other people were having the same problem

So I made an aesthetic for those people

It’s called Ghostcore

It includes

-Dark academia

-Goblincore

-Ravencore

-Fairy grunge

-Fairycore

-Cottagecore

-Light academia

-Cryptidcore

-Angelcore

AND GHOSTCORE IS A SPECTRUM

You don’t need to fit into all of those aesthetics to be a Ghostcore

You can be just 2 or 3 of them

Or maybe just one

Or maybe all of them

It doesn’t matter

You can be any combination

Personally, today I’m feeling very Goblincore, but that will be different tomorrow

Ghostcore is open to everyone. Everyone is welcome.

I absolutely LOVE getting asks and comments on my posts <3 especially about Ghostcore because it makes me happy when people show interest in it

So ya, welcome to my blog. I hope u like it <3

i always think about that study where they had adults hold a baby, and when they were told the baby was a girl the adults said she was cute and small, and when they were told the baby was a boy they said he was big and strong. they rated the baby’s ability to do things and tendency towards certain toys differently. they even held the baby differently. (x) or when they rated the baby’s physical ability to do various tasks such as climbing up a slope differently, (x) & when they measured how much parents told their girl children vs. their boy children to be careful and stop being so rowdy (x), & when they measured how often girls and boys were told to be quiet. (x) this was, obviously, all unconscious behavior in the adults. they’re not all like, raving sexists who outspokenly believe that women can’t do stuff or that girls really should just be quieter, be more still than boys. like its not even counting the direct, actual messages, its just literally how every single person in your entire life treats you, and if asked they would probably deny that its even because you’re a girl. how the fuck am i supposed to believe this doesn’t affect a child’s development when its literally constant throughout the entire process

Video description and transcription:

Tiktok by Tyler from Fig (tylerandhistummy)

[Tyler faces the camera and speaks to it.]

If this video helps even one person, it was worth it.

So, I've got a ton of ingredients that my body reacts to: corn, citric acid, gluten, chocolate, bananas, peanut oil--I'm all over the place.

It was so hard to read ingredient labels and just find food that I could eat. Grocery trips were unbearable, they took like two or three hours usually.

But I always had this idea on how to make it easier. So I quit my job and helped build an app over the past few years. And that app's called Fig.

[A phone screen showing the app interface, which Tyler scrolls through. Top text reads: "First up: Do you follow any of these diets? Dietary restrictions are complex - it's ok to select more than one!" Underneath is a checklist of ingredients and dietary restriction, including categories with suboptions.]

What makes fig unique is we're trying to help pretty much everybody that has to avoid certain ingredients.

That means we've got a ton of things that you can select from--even really specific ingredients.

[Camera briefly returns to Tyler's face again.]

And like I had dreamed of for so many years, checking ingredients is as quick as this.

[A phone camera scans the barcode on a bottle of spices. Details about the product appear, including an ingredients list and allergen statement. The ingredient "citric acid" appears in red all-caps. There is also an accompanying message that says "This product does not match your Fig."]

And finding food you can eat is as simple as this.

[The app displays a scrollable list of food items, similar to a storefront. Each item has a save toggle and is accompanied by a photo, the product brand/name, and its size. There is a search bar labeled "search for a product." There are also menus for narrowing the search; one is set to "allowed," one is set to "Whole Foods," and another unaltered menu is titled "Category."]

[The camera returns to Tyler.]

So if you know anybody with food allergies, stomach issues, other dietary restrictions, I'd really appreciate it if you shared it with them.

[The appstore listing for Fig: Food Scanner & Discovery.]

It's called Fig, it's completely free, and you can get it on iOS and Android in the US.

[Tyler smiles at the camera.]

Thanks for helping out.

Fig: Food Is Good

Food Scanner App - Fig: Food Is Good

Fig is the fastest way to find food that works for you: Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Low FODMAP, Vegan, Food Allergies or just avoiding additive

the bottom line is just, if you want trans people in your life, you need to be willing to stand up for us. if you want a trans presence in fandom then you need to take a stand against terfs when they pop up.

happy birthday to me

*Starts beat-boxing to ease your woes*
