Me: I'm going to be so productive today. Made my coffee, had a snack. I'm all ready to make my to-do list.

Me after making the list: I should probably take a break, don't want to burnout after all.

Oh right I had a to-do list...

harry potter fans in 2025

[wizardshark]

people DESPERATE in the notes to explain why the way THEY engage with harry potter is morally pure. It's like white people talking about rap music in there! Libraries buy the books! Fanfiction maintains a conversation around the IP! There is NO WAY to enjoy harry potter in 2025 without publicly supporting JK Rowling!

[mossdftba]

Please stop fucking reading it so the library doesn't have to pay her money. I am a transgender librarian and I am not allowed to not replace old damaged HP books, people read them so we need to have them on our shelves, and what she does with the money doesn't factor into it.

STOP READING HARRY FUCKING POTTER.

I used to be into it! In-depth character analysis, wizard rock, irl quidditch, but when she outed herself as a piece of shit, I couldn't support it anymore!

ASK YOUR LIBRARY FOR OTHER BOOKS TO READ AND STOP READING HARRY FUCKING POTTER.

The haunting ancient Celtic carnyx being played for an audience. This is the sound Roman soldiers would have heard their Celtic enemies make.

Man if I heard that shit while descending upon a strange land with my brethren I'd straight up dig a hole to die in right the and there, fuck the emperor fuck the gods that's a warning straight from the bones of an older evil and whatever is coming is worse than death

#sometimes I think about how simultaneously loud and quiet the earth must have been once.#quiet because all the ambient noises I associate with being alive haven't been invented yet; no cars#or train whistles or trash collection or joggers or kids on bikes#no radio. no muzak. no clocks or chiming or church bells.#but it also must have been in its own way very loud too; because of course nature surges to take its place#more bird calls and animal noises; more wind#but then again wouldn't that make this sound even more impressive? if the world is delicate and full of quieter sounds#and they all fall silent for a haunting bone-rattling tone that isn't coming from anything or anywhere you can identify.#it would be terrifying. it would beget terror.

im doing some maintenance tasks at work on a windows server, and it's currently bottlenecked by the fucking archive utility.

it has taken me ten minutes to just connect over rdp.

i tried to open the device manager and explorer fucking crashed.

i am inches away from ripping the cpu out of it to feed it to the nearest shredder and shipping the disks to the mariana trench. the ram will be recycled out of SPITE.

Sometimes as a European you play an American game and even though you speak fluent English and culturally there's not too much different you can Tell you're missing some kind of cultural context

I had no fucking clue what a mormon was when I played the New Vegas DLCs

[demilypyro]

This post is not an invitation for you all to explain mormonism to me I am fine not knowing about this

[propalahramota]

I can't put this in tags like a normal person because apparently Tumblr no longer lets you do long tags which is dumb and I hate it but ok. Long time ago when I was but a wee 14 years old kid living in a sleepy town in Northern Ukraine, one day my bestie told me: hey, have you heard about this new English speaking club at the city library? They say it's run by two guys that came here on a mission all the way from America. And I was like: what mission? And she told me they were supposed to be Mormons. I didn't believe her. I was convinced she was fucking with me because at the time I didn't think that Mormons were real. I honestly thought they were fictional and only existed as a gag in South Park. And then a couple of days later those two missioners actually showed up to our English class to promote their little conversion club. Those poor men stood in front of a bunch of 14 years old and told us they were Mormon and several of my classmates said: wait, Mormon? Like in South Park?, and from their pained expressions you could clearly tell that it wasn't the first time they had been asked that here.

What if we defunded public transit and closed malls and raise the cost of fast food and made sure that summer temperatures hit record highs and that winter temperatures hit record lows and reduced the purchasing power of minimum wage jobs so that it’s harder for kids to buy cars? Would these be ideal circumstances to make it illegal for teens to socialize with each other on the Internet?

[danielkanhai]

it would suck being a new immortal. like it’d be 2109 and people would go, “what was it like seeing ancient civilizations rise and fall like that? seeing the pyramids being built? watching the expansion and growth of the new world?” and i’d just be like, “no…no i was born in 1991. so like, wow i’m gonna see some cool stuff, but, i mean i’m not that much older than just a really, really old person, you know? phones were big back then. so big. but only for like ten years, then they got like, as good as they are now. uh. rhinos existed. don’t think i ever saw one in person. cool, good talk.”

[ayellowbirds]

even worse, imagine being an immortal who keeps missing stuff. “What was it like seeing the pyramids being built?” “Fuck if I know, I was in Madagascar.” “Oh, okay. Well, how was the Renaissance?” “I fell down a hole in Scotland and people thought I was an enchanted well for four hundred years, it was over by the time I convinced someone to get me out.”

[erkhyan]

And now, a lesson in biases:

We barely know anything about Madagascar pre-500CE. We don’t even know whether the island had a permanent population before then, despite finding a bunch of much older signs of temporary human presence.

Malagasy mythology makes mention of the vazimba, a “precursor” ethnic group that might or might not be distinct from Madagascar’s current population.

The point is, we do not know.

So you were in Madagascar when the pyramids were being built in Egypt, i.e. during one of the most obscure, most undocumented parts of Madagascar’s human history?

Oh, buddy, you better go and make a bunch of anthropologists and archeologists really happy RIGHT NOW instead of feeling bad about missing everyone else’s pet Major Event.

Every time one of these publications mentions Mamdani I remember that time he got a bidet installed and they tried to make it sound like a huge problem for the mayor of New York to have a clean arse.

[kitkenk]

it's a little stuffy in here, sorry

[thesituation]

“what does the woman who shaves gain from not shaving” i don’t know, an extra 3+ hours of free time a week? peace of mind and comfort in her femininity? not having nicks and cuts and ingrowns all the time? having a healthier skin barrier? do people think at all whatsoever before saying shit on my posts?

[rosegoldandrubies]

It takes some of you 3 hours to shave? I do it when I’m showering and it only takes me a couple of minutes. What sort of razor are you using? Even when I use an older, duller razor it doesn’t take me that long.

“Peace of mind and comfort in her femininity”

I couldn’t imagine anything less comforting and feminine than looking down at my legs in a sundress and seeing hairy man legs. There is nothing wrong with a woman wanting to look like a woman. That’s not lacking peace of mind, that’s normal and it’s misogynistic to say that femininity is the opposite of peaceful and comforting. Not all of us are desperate to be treated like men.

[thesituation]

oh wow

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Amazing that she has hair to shave off her legs, I thought she was made of straw.

[headspace-hotel]

A perplexing idea...when you don't shave, your legs become man legs...a woman's legs somehow become a man's legs if she doesn't actively change the way they naturally are. Legs with hair are not "like a woman" even though women have legs with hair unless they decide to remove the hair...

[klapollo]

almost seven years deep into the 2020s this feels less like a retrospective evaluation and more like a prophetic vision
