loving this new tiktok trend of 14 year olds thinking 1998 was actually the 1800s

[gunsandfireandshit]

Obsessed with this style of fantasy history and cannot emphasize enough that one of the most memorable candies of 1999 was this abomination of a movie tie-in

How much for this thieving piece of dryer lint, o kitty broker?

Fresh from the laundromat, this thieving little dryer lint now coming in only $17.97!

Remember children—this tactic is really annoying to the police, so YOU SHOULD NOT become floppy—it’s frustrating to them and makes them look bad and is a waste of resources and no one wants that…

I was 12 years old in 2011.... you could NEVER make me hate stomp clap hey music

[coast-modern]

How it feels to be 10 years old and hear Little Lion Man for the first time

[afloweroutofstone]

It sucked in 2011 too

[dorothylarouge]

Do not listen to Brett because his mind is withered and diseased. It is known to the wise that 2010s indie folk goes hard.

what are you wearing rn and is it representative of your style

[prokopetz]

It's probably not a great economic indicator that I've stopped getting spam claiming it wants to give me a million dollars and started getting spam claiming it wants to give me a job at Walmart.

Reminder that the original sex pollen flower was just a spray painted artichoke

one thing I love about this is I didn’t specify it was Star Trek but Spock is one of the most recognizable fictional characters of all time so even out of focus every single person on tumblr knows it’s Spock

Unrelated, Best Boy Hank Green made a cute, no subscription, not invasive and full of malwares app.

It's a cute lil app that helps you step away from your phone and leave it alone for a time you set, to stay away from distraction. If you pick up the phone, the knitting lil bean loses all of his knitting... So if you say "I'm setting down my phone for half an hour so I can efficiently clean the table and bag up the trash" it helps resisting the call of the screen. Because you can't make the bean sad. The bean is too cute.

4th place in the downloads jfc. I think people are starved for simple and honest softwares with no evils schemes and data stealing

[carolofthebell]

1st place, above chatGPT at the moment!!!

It’s adorable! I love my bean, I’m so proud of their socks. They work so hard!

It’s like practicing healthy boundaries, but with myself.

Reblog to make ChatGPT loose to a cute knitting bean.

@will-write-for-food this is one of the things I was gonna talk to you about!!!

I'll tell you what I appreciate here: no data collection. Since I've started making the effort to check data privacy, I am deeply disturbed by how bad many of the biggest apps are.

Focus Friend:

vs the widely recommended Forest Focus:

vs this recommended app, with >10M downloads: Finch: Self-Care Pet

😑 Is all data collection malevolent? No. Am I now extremely resistant to sharing sweet fuck all because I'm sick of being data mined? Yes.

I really appreciate how Hank and John Green think about systems and profits and business. They have very clear ideas of the good they want to achieve (like producing SciShow and Crash Course History to make solid, reliable educational videos that help supplement and boost learning for kids who are trying to achieve in high school when their school might not have the resources they need)

And then instead of railing against how the world hasn't made achieving those things easy (which is an injustice, don't get me wrong) they just... focus on solving the problem of how to get it funded and built. Look at the issue, see who's trying to fix it and what they're doing, look for the gaps in the system, and select one that you have the skills to address.

(Hank posted a really good video yesterday called Don't Follow Your Dreams, Follow Your Tools, which was both a reminder of the mindset that's benefited me most but has slipped from my grasp lately, and a fresh perspective on how to play to your strengths.)

There are actually a lot of people like them out there, whose work isn't flashy or immediately noticeable, but who, as the poet* says,

jump into work head first without dallying in the shallows and swim off with sure strokes almost out of sight. They seem to become natives of that element, the black sleek heads of seals bouncing like half-submerged balls.
