Marie Kondo is full of anecdotes about the weird ass shit that she not only lets people keep but encourages them to elevate in their lives. She says one of her clients ended the process with a bedroom full of vintage pinball machines because what sparks joy in that particular woman was basically sleeping in the middle of an arcade.

Marie Kondo would never make you throw away your weird shit! She wants you to pare down to just your weird shit.

It pisses me off that for YEARS tidying up shows were full of white neurotypicals shaming neurodivergent people for having more than an arbitrary number of possessions and forcing them to go through a traumatic process of throwing away so much of their stuff to fit other people’s standards of “this is how you should live your life” and everyone thought those were fine!

But then in comes this sweet little Japanese lady who says the only rule is how can we make the client’s life happier and less stressful? How can we help them prioritize the things they enjoy being around? Marie Kondo came up with a process that accommodates and respects obsessions and special interests. And people treat her like the devil incarnate.

It’s fucked up.

Quick reminder for EVERYONE on tumblr

  • The block button is there for a reason, and it’s easy to access for a reason. Someone sends you death threats? Block them. Someone’s blog is blatantly racist/lgbtqphobic/thinspo/pro pedophile/etc? Block them. Someone follows you and their blog looks sketchy? Block them. Someone in your notes make you feel a little uncomfortable? Block them. Someone keeps sending you annoying messages? Block them. You don’t have to justify why you block someone, and you don’t owe ANYONE an audience with you.
  • The follow/unfollow button is there for a reason, and easy to access for a reason. Been following forever but they’ve started flooding your dashboard with things you aren’t interested in? Unfollow! Been following for a while and realized they’re an asshole? Unfollow! Realized they haven’t posted anything in months? Unfollow! You’re allowed to follow and unfollow whoever you’d like, you don’t owe anyone your presence.
  • The anonymous ask feature is a privilege, not a right. You don’t NEED to have anons on, you don’t even need to have asks on! Had bad experiences with anons before? Turn them off! Got a creepy anon and want to be cautious? Turn them off! Just don’t even want them on? Turn them off! It’s your blog and you don’t owe anyone the ability to be anonymous on YOUR blog.
  • Filter as many tags as you want. Filter as few tags as you want. Are you in a state of mind where seeing current events is taking a toll? Filter the tag! Want to follow a blog for cute animals but really don’t Ike cats? Filter the tag! Have a trigger? Filter the tag! You aren’t required to see everything on your dash.
  • Morons on the internet aren’t worth your time. I know, you hear this a lot. I know, it’s shitty. But all they want is to get a rise out of you reacting so they can point and laugh and KEEP harassing you to get more reactions. Just block, report, move on. The best satisfaction you can get is knowing that they’re sitting there waiting for their “clever comment” to be reacted to. You don’t owe them anything.
  • You aren’t required to partake in every argument/discussion you see. Someone leave a stupid comment on your post trying to pick a fight? Ignore. Someone send you an ask trying to start discourse? Delete. See some chain thread about “reblog this to show you care about (xyz)”? You don’t have to reblog it. It’s okay. You don’t need to engage, you’re under no obligation to.
  • You aren’t required to answer every ask you get, either. Does it make you uncomfortable? Delete. Do you not know enough about what they’re asking? Delete. Do you just really not feel like answering that one? Delete it. You don’t need to answer every ask or message.
  • Don’t be scared to step away for a bit if you need to. Turn off asks and messages, queue things up if you really want, and just... step away. This isn’t your job, you don’t NEED to be here, and nothing bad will happen if you take some time for yourself. I promise. Put yourself first.
