3. LET THE SOFT ANIMAL THAT IS YOUR BODY LOVE WHAT IT LOVES
For those who are like- huh… here’s a translation
1) Be funny/ continue the online joke: persona you are conveying ( Think Gorbachev)
2) Have sex/fuck someone ( It is specifying say straight sex but we can ignore that part on tumblr)
3) Partake in self care
STRAIGHT SEX? IM TALKING ABOUT MAKING THINGS WITH YOUR HANDS, RIVALING PROMETHEUS IN HIS IDEA TO BREATHE LIFE INTO CLAY. IM TALKING ABOUT TRANSFORMING YOUR BODY IN YOUR IMAGE TO MAKE IT TASTE SWEETER, LIKE WATER INTO WINE. IM TALKING ABOUT PICKING UP THE PIECES AND CREATING SOMETHING NEW, TO FINISH WHAT THE COWARD FRANKENSTEIN NEVER TRULY STARTED.
Every single craft has been paying “The Passion Tax” for generations. This term (coined by author and organizational psychologist Adam Grant) — and backed by scientific research — simply states that the more someone is passionate about their work, the more acceptable it is to take advantage of them. In short, loving what we do makes us easy to exploit.
I was saying on Twitter earlier, late capitalism + various malicious interventions have ruined every career that involves thought or creativity or passion. Artists, writers, academics, teachers– even lawyers are screwed these days.
this is absolutely fucking pathetic now every single fucking streaming service is gonna start doing this shit. all y'all had to do was not watch Netflix and let it flop for a few months and they would have given up
Y'all still actually watch netflix?
i know it’s easier to see a headline and get angry about it online than it is to look into the source, but if we all did a little digging, it’s evident that this is misinformation. the source is a blog post from a tech startup that is advertising their data analysis services to other streaming companies. the spike in subscribers (which lasted for two days) occurred over a four day period, of which, only the 26th and 27th of may had above average signups, the previous two days were under 50k signups per day.
what their data (purposely) fails to show is the sharp decline in signups between the 27th of may and the first of june, the day that these features rolled out, because their chart cuts off before the password sharing crackdown even went into effect. their data also does not count the number of cancelled subscriptions, and does not distinguish between free trial sign ups and paid subscription sign ups.
they are trying to make netflix look good to advertise their services. this is marketing, not actual data analysis.
life is just humiliating yourself over and over and learning to live with the inherent shame of being alive !! do what makes you happy !! it is impossible to live life without embarrassment, so why bother trying !!
“what if something being scary doesn’t make it bad” is one of those nearly bulletproof fictional angles for me like i am already in from moment one tell me more about how the terrifying and/or grotesque is not necessarily evil
