people attacking tumblr users for being gullible as if there WASN’T a national panic when “war of the worlds” was presented on the radio in 1938 because people thought that martians were legitimately attacking
tumblr doesn’t make people more gullible people are just fucking gullible and tumblr is a microblogging platform on which information is easily spread and amplified lay off
You wanna know why this post is amazing?
There WASN’T a national panic when “war of the worlds” was broadcast.
It’s a total myth that took hold because people are gullible and no one checks sources.
So what you’re saying is that there is a widespread myth that people are gullible that was spread because people are gullible

Hi my name is Kylo Ren and I have long ebony
black hair and dark brown eyes like limpid tears and a lot
of people tell me I look like Darth Vader (AN: if u don’t know who he is
get da hell out of here!). I’m NOT related to Han Solo (I’M NOT) even though he’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a goth (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear
mostly black. I love Hot Topic and I buy all my clothes from there. For
example today I was wearing a black mask with matching silver detailing around it
and a black robe with a black cloak. I also had my red lightsaber that goes in three directions instead of one because it’s special. I was walking outside Starkiller Base. It was snowing and raining so
there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of stormtroopers stared at
me. I put up my middle finger at them.
me: cannot understand at least half of what people are saying, mishears everything if it’s heard at all, constructs reactions based on body language alone
me: ears finely tuned to the horrible buzz of a house fly in another room

On Dentists
So I can’t brush my teeth. Like, it’s the worst kind of hell. I went to the dentist for a cleaning today and I told the hygienist this, and she was wonderfully helpful.
There are some incredibly soft toothbrushes available- namely, post-surgical brushes. Running them under hot water makes them even softer.
She told me that you don’t really need to use toothpaste- it’s mostly marketing. The foam gets to me, so that is really reassuring.
She gave me two particularly soft brushes and some xylitol gum. Trident is a market brand of xylitol gum, which helps with your teeth and can make your breath smell better.
The whole purpose of brushing is to disrupt plaque buildup. You don’t need to brush twice a day, every day with toothpaste if you brush correctly- little circles, focusing on near the gums (where most plaque builds up). So if you’re having a bad sensory day and can’t brush at all, it’s not the end of the world.
Hell, you don’t even need a toothbrush if even the post-surgical ones are too harsh. Going over your teeth with the same motions using a washcloth is enough.
She wants to find a fluoride rinse that has a taste I can stand (peppermint is the only mint I can stand) but she’s not particularly worried about it.
I go to Dr. Barr in Chicago. If you can get to the State St. Macy’s, his office is nearby. He’s very kind and patient and really understanding of my needs as an autistic person. The hygienist, I don’t know her name, announced everything she was going to do before she did it, and stopped frequently to see how I was doing.
This is really the only positive dentist I’ve ever had- past dentists have been too rough and not bothered to help find ways I can actually brush.
Basically this is a glowing recommendation for Dr. Barr’s office if you’re autistic, afraid of dentists, or have sensory needs. This is a recommendation even if you don’t have any of those things.
Im actually crying i feel like this post was reblogged for me oh my god oh my god oh my lord thank you
