some of you have to learn what a real apology is

a real apology isn’t about excuses. a real apology isn’t a justification. a real apology is “i did x and it made you feel y. even if i was feeling z, it doesn’t justify the way i lashed out at/treated/etc you. you didn’t deserve that and im sorry” or SOMETHING like that but i’m sick and tired of people using their own emotional state as a barrier against taking real responsibility lol

Hey I have good news for everyone.

Cringe culture literally does not exist outside of the internet.

I take my Minecraft backpack to college and I get tons of compliments on it. My boss’s son plays Minecraft and he’s elated to have a “resident Minecraft expert.”

Lots of things that fall under “cringe” are very dear to me and my friends. Good people recognize and celebrate that passion, no matter what it’s for.

Yeah you really don’t need to understand and know every character and movie in the MCU to understand Infinity War and that’s a stupid ass thing to insinuate. Like if you have any pop culture knowledge of these characters and have seen even one other movie it’s great. And it’s really not terrible for Marvel to assume that because really.. it’s been long enough. It’s not unreasonable to assume that you have passing familiarity with Marvel characters. Not even being able to name them all, I sure as hell can’t, but just knowing certain groups or heroes exist. And really, it’s not like you have to have been a fan since Marvel’s inception to follow the movie. My mom has barely seen any of the movies, and I haven’t either (or I’ve seen them and couldn’t follow them or don’t remember them)(I remember Ragnarok, Homecoming and Black Panther incredibly vaguely despite enjoying all three. They go on so long it’s hard), and we both enjoyed it. It also uses recent stuff incredibly intentionally, and the jist of the movie can be understood without massive background knowledge. Good guys, bad guy. Good guys try to stop the bad guy. Pretty simple. Plus.. movies that assume prior knowledge are allowed to exist, it’s not an attack on you personally, lol.

I wasn’t fully aware who Vision was (Hadn’t seen Age of Ultron, oops) And I only had vague knowledge of T’Challa and the others cause I didn’t watch Black Panther either, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying Infinity War!

i hate to break it to you, but literally every human being in the world has done something “problematic” at some point in their lives. expecting people to be perfect is just unrealistic.

This is something Tumblr grapples with and desperately needs to understand.

Nobody is some flawless saint and we all went through ignorant periods in our lives that makes us want to go back and sucker punch the stupid out of our past selves.

When you hold people accountable for old mistakes they’re clearly trying to disown and distance themselves from it makes redemption impossible and drives them deeper down a bad road.

There’s a very real difference between “did something dumb in the past and has now distanced themselves from that and is trying to move forward” and “people who pretend to be good and are actually really hypocritical”, basically it’s Robert Downey Jr vs Kevin Spacey.

PSA:

If you see a post saying “Reblog this or else” or something else along those lines nothing bad is going to happen if you don’t reblog it.  

Don’t feel pressured to reblog something, and don’t feel bad if you don’t reblog it.

Nothing bad is going to happen.

It is ok to pass that post without reblogging it.

You aren’t a bad person for not reblogging it.

Unpopular opinion: straight people using “partner” to refer to their SO actually helps normalize the term so that lgbt folx can use it without automatically outing themselves to strangers. It also helps other straight ppl get comfortable with the fact that strangers aren’t entitled to information about other people’s gender or sexuality.

Give op their hard-earned notes

Honestly something that bothers me more than most things is having my compassion mistaken for naivety.

I know that another fish might eat this bullfrog right after I spend months rehabilitating it.

I know that turning a beetle back onto its legs won’t save it from falling over again when I walk away.

I know that there is no cosmic reward waiting for my soul based on how many worms I pick off a hot sidewalk to put into the mud, or how many times I’ve helped a a raccoon climb out of a too-deep trashcan. 

I know things suffer, and things struggle, and things die uselessly all day long. I’m young and idealistic, but I’m not literally a child. I would never judge another person for walking by an injured bird, for ignoring a worm, or for not really caring about the fate of a frog in a pond full of, y’know, plenty of other frogs.

There is nothing wrong with that.

But I cannot cannot cannot look at something struggling and ignore it if I may have the power to help.

There is so much bad stuff in this world so far beyond my control, that I take comfort in the smallest, most thankless tasks. It’s a relief to say “I can help you in this moment,” even though they don’t understand.

I don’t need a devil’s advocate to tell me another fish probably ate that frog when I let it go, or that the raccoon probably ended up trapped in another dumpster the next night.

I know!!!! I know!!!!!!! But today I had the power to help! So I did! And it made me happy!

So just leave me alone alright thank u!!!!

THIS.

I heard a story about this, a parable I guess.

There was a big storm and a ton of starfish were washed onto the beach, stranded much further up than they could get back and beginning to bake in the post-storm sunshine. A little girl was walking down the beach, picking up starfish and throwing them back into the sea. Some guy comes up and asks her what she’s doing. “Saving the starfish,” she says.

He looks around at the huge beach and the hundreds of starfish, and says “You can’t possibly save them all. I’m afraid you’re not gonna make much of a difference.”

She throws another starfish back into the ocean, and replies “It made a difference to that one.”

Yeah, I mean, we know we can’t change all the things. But have you ever noticed how much better life is when you’re around people who change things when they can?

Kindness is a choice. Even if it’s small, it’s worth it.

This is what I’m talking about, when I say that kindness and compassion do not equate with ignorance, stupidity, or naivety. Being cynical does not make someone more intelligent or more worldly. 

Kindness is not weakness.

Kindness is brave. Especially when you also know that your kindness might not be returned, may even be met with anger or cruelty. It’s reaching out with an open hand, knowing that it’s just as likely to be bitten as it is to be held. 

Kindness is hard. If you can’t find it in yourself to be kind, then fine. But don’t make it more difficult for those that can.

Kindness is a discipline, a skill like anything else. Don’t think you can simply be nice the odd time and call yourself kind. Kind takes work, ethic, perseverance. It must be pursued even in the darkest of times. Mercy is for those who deserve it the least and vows are for the times when it is most difficult to withstand.

If you aren’t pursuing it every day, then you’re not kind. You’re occasionally nice. 

right now, it’s a drop in a pond. if we all join in? it’s an ocean.
