Dole’s required to defend their trademarks or they might lose them. That vaguely threatening letter reads to me as “I have to legally say this but I don’t want to because I’m laughing too hard and they’re actually giving us marketing, but…I have to say it.”
If you tell me “x person you reblogged from is a huge bigot” and I say I’m sorry and delete it and then some time later you see me reblog something else with them in it, I promise it’s not because I don’t care or disregarded you. I have a terrible memory for names and I trend towards skimming the things I read and I miss a lot of information.
So please know I’m sorry and it’s not on purpose and I do care.
I hate to say it but this sounds like every domestic abuser I’ve ever seen on TV. I’m sorry, baby. You know I don’t mean it, won’t happen again…
….what? Like…actually….the fuck? Like I’m just curious about how you typed that out, looked at it and then went “yep, that seems like a good idea, I’m going to press a button and send this out into the world”?
My memory is so bad that it takes me a month of seeing someone for several hours a day every day for me to reliably recognize them and remember their name.
I see hundreds of unique screen names every week. I don’t remember them all. 6 months of pangur and grim crossing my dash daily had me recognizing the cats and their owner. 6 months of gam. 6 months for the people I chose to follow and see posts from every day.
So @bdub86 maybe rethink what you wrote keeping it in context of the format of this hellsite and that there are indeed people like myself in the bottom 5% with regards to memory recall.
Also reblogging from someone who is a bigot is nowhere near the same thing as supporting an abuser because you’re not supporting their ideas you’re literally choosing to reblog a picture of a cat and guess what a bad person and a good person can like the same picture of a cat and it doesn;t mean the good person is evil for liking that cat.
This is a platform of media and the bullshit that constantly floods your dash floods it in a stream. Unless you reblog a hateful post that literally agrees with the person’s awful ideals then it’s just random crap you’re seeing and spreading and 90% of it has no meaning other than eliciting a random chuckle or signifying an amalgamation of random stuff you find pleasing.
You can’t make each person solely responsible for going to each blog they reblog something from and making sure the person isn’t an ass; that’s not how it works.
Just because you reblog some random or goofy shit from a person who is a hellbeast doesn’t mean YOU are a hellbeast it means you saw something goofy or entertaining and reblogged it. That was the whole thought process.
You don’t sit there being like “ah yes this person 6 months ago told me this blog is full of hate and thus reblogging anything from it must surely mean I am in agreement with their awful rhetoric! I shall now go forth and spread such rhetoric in the form of a dumb shitpost!”
That’s just silly. It’s social media…. reblogging from an asshole isn’t the best thing to do but again it goes through your dash like water you can’t sift everything so stop trying to police everyone and just chill.
comparing scars with jasper and talking out her traumatic experiences with him
he wouldn’t call himself a therapist but he’s very good at understanding emotions and helping people deal with them
cooking with esme! often joined by another member of the family because all the vamps are interested in the culinary arts now that they have a human around
bella likes to bake a lot of desserts. she and esme have made their fair share of extravagant cakes
emmett always jumps in with ridiculous ideas that definitely wouldn’t taste good but they humor him and cook up his experiments anyways (bella has to taste them and 9 times out of 10 they’re disgusting)
carlisle helps her out with homework! history report? he was probably around during the time period, so he gives her some interesting insights and helps her understand what things were like
he’s also extraordinarily well-read so he recommends a lot of obscure books to her
shopping with alice but like, to actually find clothes that suit bella that she wants to wear. alice wishes she would dress up more but she’s also great at finding things that are just bella’s style
going to home football games with emmett! carlisle will never let him play sports but he’s the team’s number one fan. he drags the whole family along but he really gets bella into it (much to her surprise)
they become a friday night staple, what with emmett carrying her around on his shoulders all night, both of them painted up in school colors and carrying a plethora of noise makers
rosalie teaches bella some basic mechanic skills. she claims it’s stuff everyone should know, but she really does want to help bella out (and get her to stop relying on jacob for all her car problems)
FAMILY MOVIE NIGHTS! each week, one person picks a movie for everyone to watch. the genres vary greatly but everyone has a fun time and bella gets to know a lot about everyone’s tastes
