Can we just observe when he says “communicate their feelings and just enjoy each other’s company” what we see is people just staring on their phones. No one is interacting with another person.

Aren’t we mindless zombies already?

I’m seriously tired of the message ‘technology has made us all zombies and we don’t talk to each other anymore’. Yes, there are serious problems. Yes, there is a large amount of room for improvement.

But you know what I did before technology? You know what I did before I had a phone?

Nothing. When I was in school I brought novels with me every day and I read them. I didn’t talk. I managed to make a few friends and only had fun with them because they forced me to do things that I hated. I don’t like parties and clubs and other stuff, every single bit of that was hell for me, because I like quiet and suck at conversation and places like that were nothing but balls of stress to me.

If not for technology, I would still be a miserable pile of constant anxiety, afraid to break out of a routine for fear I’d do/say something wrong and stupid. I never talked or socialized and when I did muster up the nerve to speak it was always awkward or too blunt. I became known as a cold-hearted bitch who was mean to everyone, even though what I mostly did was go home and cry and call myself stupid.

Computers changed all of that for me, showed me for the first time that there were people like me. The better tech got, the more I opened up. But I still was pretty alone when not around people I knew, because I’m not a talker, not really.

Chatting online - chat rooms, emails, lj comms, fanfiction, all of that taught me how to be social. All of that helped me be braver, made me more willing to talk to people anywhere, everywhere. It’s less overwhelming to me now to have to go into a strange room and talk to people. I don’t go deer in the headlights now when someone randomly starts talking to me.

My phone also helps when I’m being harassed. Back when I didn’t have a phone, if the nutjobs on the bus or in the airport started harassing me, I had no choice but to endure it until it was over or try to say something or just leave and risk whatever the fuck happened next. Now? I always have my phone. I can always call and say ‘talk to me so this person leaves me alone’. I can text someone to come rescue me at the bar. I can fucking call for help at the drop of a dime if I have to. Airports are no longer a terrifying place where I will be stuck for hours with no one to talk to unless I want to risk an uncomfortable, even dangerous, situation.

Technology made me more aware of the problems and challenges that other people face. It showed me a broader world. It’s made me more patient with people, it’s made me more determined to remember that you never know what someone is going through.

If not for technology, I never would have been brave enough to try writing. I doubt I’d be an author right now. I certainly never would have met this crazy chick who was living in Vermont and was just as miserable as me. I never would have emailed her every morning and night and texted all through work and wound up with my best friend and current roommate slash business partner.

So don’t fucking tell me that technology is turning us into zombies that don’t communicate.

And people don’t just enjoy each other? that’s such bullshit. I was at a concert just a couple days ago. The radio was playing while they waited for the show to start, and Gangnam Style came on. The entire fucking building exploded with people dancing and cheering and laughing and having a good time together for no reason more than we were all amused as fuck that song came on the radio.

I see that kind of thing happen all the time. We’ll randomly be talking about something on someone’s phone at a restaurant and the waiter will chip in because he recognizes it. I’ve shot the shit with so many people over something that was happening on someone’s phone. People I may not have talked to otherwise.

Technology is quite literally one of the main reasons I live a brighter, louder, happier life than I would have otherwise. Like goddamn hell am I a zombie.

Hey remember that time a rapist climbed into a girls bedroom in the middle of the night and assaulted her and our response was to take her brothers comments on how dangerous life is in the projects and autotune it and turn him into an "Internet sensation" complete with racist Halloween costumes

ah i remember that!!

oh but do you remember how by being a part of all of that that he got enough money from royalties to move him and his sister out of the projects?

or how about that he personally authorized that Halloween costume, endorsed a sex offender tracking mobile app and happily gave live performances of the song?

no? only remember the negative parts of the ordeal? alright then.

stay angry, tumblr.

Sun, 06 Jan 2013 13:19:29 -0500

It’s funny how, for most of my childhood spent going to church we were told (probably in an effort to get and keep kids/teens interested in the Bible) that Jesus was a rebel, that he didn’t just go along with “tradition” if it was wrong, that he upset the status quo. Which I have to admit, for his time, and given what we know of him, that Jesus was a pretty cool dude.

And now you have the church today trying to shoehorn him into being for all of these things that I couldn’t actually see him caring too much about.

I don’t consider myself a believer anymore, I haven’t since I was about 16. But I’m really tired of people using a guy whose big thing was to treat people the way you want to be treated to justify bigotry and hate. If you don’t want gays and women to have the same rights as you, just come out and fucking say it instead of trying to hide behind someone else’s skirts.

#you guys #do you know that Merry is eight years older than Pippin #so pippin’s whole life #Merry has been his big cousin #looking out for him #teaching him about frogs and fishing and all the best places in Hobbiton to hide from adults #and then when they got a little older #Merry probably gave Pippin his first mug of ale and his first pipe of tobacco #MERRY HAS ALWAYS LOOKED AFTER PIPPIN #because Pippin was young and reckless and needed looking after #in hobbit-age Pippin was barely more than just a kid when they left on this quest #and merry looked out for him there too #BUT NOW PIPPIN HAS GROWN INTO A HERO #and it’s his turn to protect Merry #oh my god you guys I did not expect these HOBBIT FEELS

why do you hurt me so

oh my fucking god why am i tearing up this is ridiculous

This is super cute! So, to all of you who are sobbing, let me tell you the truth of the matter. Wooly Bear caterpillars are born in autumn/early winter, and live as far north as the arctic. They freeze over the winter months, completely solid. Then, come spring time, they thaw out, and turn into an Isabella Tiger moth. So this little guy/girl is going to have a very happy memory to dream about over the winter. And you can all stop crying now. :)

omg thank you
