Controversial opinion: the messaging function of Tumblr has increased interactions among bffs, but exponentially reduced social interactions among users as a whole, bc users almost never leave comments on re-blogs. I love messaging, but I deeply miss the at-large back-and-forth on my dashboard.

The other major reason people don’t leave comments on reblogs is that it’s assumed OPs don’t like it – an impression constantly reinforced by all the posts one sees passive-aggressively bemoaning the annoying comments people leave and how you have to go up to the last version without the annoying comments if you want to reblog (because apparently that’s a huge hardship). And a lot of people will also block you for disagreeing, however civilly and rationally… but they also do that preemptively if they just see you express a view they don’t like in your own post or someone else’s. So the current etiquette limits what’s acceptable to put in reblog comments. Praise and enthusiasm should go in the tags; disagreement should go… nowhere, preferably (in light of the robust Tumblr Consensus phenomenon), but if you must, in a vagueblog that makes indirect reference to the post that inspired it. Reblogging to add commentary seems only to be acceptable when you have further analysis to add that’s in basic agreement with what everyone else on the thread has expressed. Or occasionally if you come up with a *really* good witticism about the post.

so yeah you not gonna believe how old those news are

but I am now going to RAVE about one of my most favourite scenes in marvel cinematic universe and yeah that’s right

its the destruction of tony’s Malibu house scene.

Lets start off with the fact that i am an architect with a degree, and I find Tony’s house completely DELIGHTFUL. 

image

I love it. Both interior and exterior of it are lovely. I absolutely adore open and spacious living room, home-ness of tony’s lab&garage, and gorgeous open view bedroom. Delightful.

Also give me a second to SCREAM about that lovely detail – Christmas stockings.

image

I can’t grab a single shot where you can see all of them clearly, but there’s actually 5 stockings. Two big red ones – Tony and Pepper – big green one – Jarvis – and two smaller ones, one of which got ‘U’ on it, so I am assuming the other one must be Dum-E and I HONESTLY CAN NOT HOLD THE FEELS. I saw people mentioning Jarvis stocking because you can clearly see it but BABY BOTS GOT THEM TOO, HOW BEYOND PRECIOUS IS THAT. I am crying over here, i’m not okay.

Now, the scene of this beautiful house going down must  be heartbreaking and not fun, but all that content honestly:

Tom Hiddleston on Loki

You know one of the things I love about Tom Hiddleston? Sometimes Tom is all like :

“He is a combination of mercurial intellectual ability, emotional ambiguity, charisma and provocative wit. He has a wicked inclination to mischief, underneath which is a well of spiritual pain. Both these aspects are central to his depth as a character : his unashamed and perverse delight in creating chaos and his capacity for raw emotional expression.”

Then sometimes Tom is all like :

“Loki is loco. Completamente loco. People go loco for Loki. Livin’ la vida Loki.”

That may just be the difference between Tom demonstrating his mastery of English and running up against the limits of his Spanish.

I found this on Facebook and I am Extremely Tired

Most mental health professionals (especially clinical social workers) know that material conditions affect the mental health of clients. This is not Brand New Information: it’s something that there’s continuing research in the field. Antidepressants can’t cure the world’s shittiness, but they can make it possible to have the energy to get up, take a shower, eat a meal, and have the wearwithal to do actions that fight structural oppression.

Additionally, mental illness exists in communist countries and countries with large welfare states. Also, communist countries also have a history of abusing mentally ill patients (USSR) or failing to provide care for mentally ill people (Cuba). Some of the causes of mental illness, such as intergenerational trauma are still going to be around during fully automated luxury space communism.

^ I was just going to reblog whichever of the latest iteration of that post to say something like this. No one who knows shit about mental health research is doubting that environmental conditions affect mental health, including possibly triggering it in people who wouldn’t otherwise have symptoms. And sure, there are probably some people in Tumblr’s deeply-fucked “mental health” community who need to hear that maybe their life circumstances are contributing to how they feel. 

What we’re taking issue with is how y’all can’t say it without some variation of “anti-depressants are useless and fake so throw them away” when a lot of people on here have had their lives saved by those pills, and those pills specifically. And no one who actually studies this shit, and who actually cares about MI people other than as a talking point, is saying that they should do that.

This attitude also encourages people to think that the relatively materially privileged who suffer from mental illness must be faking it somehow.

I just stumbled across a pagan site (well, the Google preview of one, because most religious sites are blocked at work) saying that Actual Norse God Loki likes offerings of really sweet things, like Pez and other types of candy, which a) is hilarious because Funko just released their first few Pez dispensers and Loki’s one of them, and b) makes me feel weirdly vindicated for my headcanon about MCU Loki having an enormous sweet tooth

I have the Loki sweet tooth headcanon too and this is marvelous information.
