a little while longer @arrowlock - Tumblr Blog

I took my little brother (autistic, mostly non verbal) out and he was using his voice keyboard to tell me something, and this little boy (maybe 4 or 5?) heard him and asked me "Is he a robot??" I tried to explain to him that no, he isn't a robot, he just communicates differently, but my darling brother was in the background max volume "I am robot I am robot I am robot I am robot"

My little brother insisted if I was going to post about him, he wanted a cut of the "profits". When I explained to him that Tumblr isn't monetized, and is pretty pointless, he and my older brother pointed out that he'd still be bringing me "fame and notoriety" if the post got "big". So we agreed, if the post hit 10k notes, which seemed extremely farfetched and silly at the time, I'd take my little brother out for sushi (his favorite food) and let him eat as much as he wants.

I guess God wanted the little robot to enjoy some sushi 🍣 🥲

The thing I love about chocolate guy is the sincere effort he puts into his little videos and how he shows all of it. Most short form content tries to bait you with a fake pic of the end result (or a completely different product), trying to sell you on their hacks and easy recipes.

What Amaury shows is that if you want a crazy result you need a crazy amount of effort and knowledge, and that's fine! It's okay if you don't have the expertise a pro has, that's why we pay them! Because we value their craft.

I don't know, I feel his videos refreshing amidst the constant barrage of "supposedly easy to replicate fake recipes" and "showing off amazing results with basically zero process". Like yeah, he did that, and we can see how he does it and admire the technique that goes into his craft, and I think that's beautiful

You watch him take 30 seconds to make a little something, and it's like oh, how charming! And then he snaps his fingers and there's 200 of them in a bucket, and you're like oh man, so you've been doing this all afternoon, huh? And then he snaps his fingers again and there's 10 buckets, and you're like oh you and your entire kitchen have been doing this for 2 days. Well then. Damn.

And you realize you're 30 seconds into a 2 minute video and he's getting the airbrush out. When he bites into one of those little treats at the end of the video, that man has earned every delicious flavor he's put into it.

I feel like this difference comes because he's an educator! He runs a pastry/chocolatier academy. All of the crazy big chocolate sculptures? Demo pieces. If you go to the academy's socials you'll often find the smaller versions his students made in the class.

Actually, the academy is well worth the follow. You get even more of a breakdown of the process and what techniques they're learning. It's neat!

humans should be able to do a special Ultra Sleep after major life accomplishments where you're just out for like 32 hours or something and then you wake up fully refreshed in every way

There are ten trillion pictures of flowering trees to the point where they sometimes seem trite and overdone. But then you see a tree in full flower and go holy shit this rules and I've gotta show this to everyone so they can experience the same magic and wonder and there are ten trillion and one pictures of flowering trees

When all you have is a handsaw, every problem looks like a beautiful lady in a box. And you have a magician outfit. And people are watching.

Sorry for us politics posting, but we have until May 22, 2026 to submit public comment to the FCC:

More info from GLAAD:

https://glaad.org/fcc/

They have some good tips about writing a comment and protecting your privacy which, fuck it, I'll just paste here:

Providing an email address is optional. If you have concerns about privacy, you may use your initials or public address in your local area, such as City Hall. Do not use a joke name. It diminishes the comment’s credibility.

Your submission does not need to be long. A single, well-reasoned paragraph is sufficient.

Do not copy/paste a template comment. The FCC values unique perspectives, and an original comment carries significantly more weight in the public record. You can explain why this matters to you without revealing private or sensitive personal information.

Here's what I said:

“Free speech is a fundamental American freedom. I do not need a warning about seeing queer people, much like I do not need a warning about women, veterans, or any other group of people.”

Here's the link to submit your comment by May 22:
