I don’t really like the term “mutuals” because it sounds exclusive and isolating and I like everyone I’m following! even if they don’t know it. Anyhoo, there are so many of you now and really there’s something inexplicably lovely about having “mutuals” here and I think it goes beyond knowing you’re surrounded by like-minded people.. it’s different from other platforms because you’re not sharing a moment really(or at least not primarily) that’s arguably porous with time but it collates a patchwork of interests that, individually, express so much, I think by virtue of more allowance for content and is immediate and present yet somehow eternal.. something about tumblr is just so very developmental and pliable

All due respect no judgment etc. etc. but people that see things like charting a career path and networking and building a personal brand as all part of a big fun game to play and win and not just a matter of grim economic necessity that pits us all against each other while keeping us completely unfulfilled in every way that counts, those people need to srsly reevaluate things and at the very least have a small amount of consideration for the fact that others understandably may not feel that way and their frustrations and anxieties over all of it may seem silly and childish but probs still shouldn’t be met and dismissed with glib assertions about just finding a better job or the right job or a way to make money doing what u love™, like I love a lot of things, we live in a lovely lovable world despite all we’ve done to it, but the things I love can’t conceivably be contorted into forms that’ll easily fit within our rigidly narrowly conceived notion of profitability, and unless I can gaslight myself into falling in love with like, sales or building apps for millionaires to skim more off the top of already existing industries, I’ll be stuck grinding myself into pieces in completely unfulfilling situations for very little return, a prospect that fills me with even more dread than I tend to feel in the best of situations, but also I need to like help out my parents so the prospect of washing out and losing even this fills me with even more dread so maybe I’m just an immature baby but also maybe I might actually have good reason for finding it all disheartening and demoralizing and not faaaiiiiiir

“My expression, my view on history, my view on the truth must be independent, but I tell myself not to get marginalized, because being marginalized means you can’t do anything. Marginalization can be a kind of pleasant stance—I really admire many of those people—but I would rather expend enormous energy trying to dance with the many levels of the era in which we live.“
