Hey

Katie | 20s | Just reblogging whatever

[not-freyja]

Can everyone who makes video content do a Deaf bitch a favor? Watch your shit with the captions on and the sound off, and then do another round of editing to fix things including but not limited to:

Captions cover the spot on the screen you put the information I need

The dialogue is captioned but not the song you have playing that the dialogue is responding to

You only captioned the person on the screen, not the person off screen who is also talking

No captioning of critical sound effects (alarms, bells, dogs barking, etc)

Speakers are not labelled at moments where it is not clear on the screen who is talking.

Captions cover the spot on the screen that you put the information I need!

Other d/Deaf people welcome to add.

This post brought to you by the fifth video tutorial I could not follow because the bad, auto-generated captions covered what I was trying to watch today.

I keep hearing John Green say he's retired from working and lemme just say John Green is the least retired retired person I've ever seen.

[sizzlingsandwichperfection-blog]

I am retired!!! I retired in October of 2017 and have kept my promise not to exchange my labor for money.

Since 2017, I have only done stuff that I thought was interesting or useful regardless of whether it pays, because we have more than enough money, and despite what billionaires might tell you, there is literally no difference between "more than enough" and "much more than enough."

So I no longer work for money. But in retirement one must keep busy, which is why I have taken on an unpaid gig as the social media intern for a coffee and tea business that donates 100% of its profit to charity.

I also sometimes travel to universities and other places to speak in support of Partners in Health and global access to tuberculosis care, and sometimes I write books because writing makes me happy, and every Tuesday I make a video on vlogbrothers, and I make a podcast about the world cup with my friends from high school, and so on, but none of these things constitutes work. These are just Retirement Projects, which are essential to a happy retirement.

Cute little rainbow heart for pride month tumblr but how about you stop disproportionally banning trans women and marking sfw queer posts as mature

8-Bit Bestiary: Cool Frog

(Originally created 7.5.26 for Pixel Dailies theme "cool animal")

[peach-pot]

being anti-amatonormativity in a romance centered world is like watching half the people you know put all their eggs in one basket and then drop the basket and all their eggs break and they’re crying and swearing they’re never gonna do that again and then a month later they have all new eggs in a new basket and they tell you the problem was they didn’t have a strong enough basket or fresh enough eggs and then they drop the fucking basket again.

[peach-pot]

I think some people on this post don’t know what the phrase “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” means… or why it means that.

sometimes being buck is like. you see a fire start in your house and it's getting really warm and uncomfortable so you go to ask for help. and when people ask what you need help with you're like well you see my house is very warm. and they're like oh well that's not a big deal just open some windows, which doesn't sound right but you trust them so you go into your burning house and open some windows and hm. still burning. so you ask again hey my house is uncomfortably warm and they're like wow still complaining huh. well I guess you can get an AC unit. and you're like oh so I shouldn't move out? and they're like what no just because it's a bit warm? you're being kind of dramatic. and you suppose they're right so you go out and get an AC and plug it in and it sparks and the fire gets even bigger. and you really don't know what to do at this point so you just go outside and watch the house reduce to char and then you pick through your stuff and tell everyone that you're moving and they're like oh what why? and you shrug and go I guess it was a bit warm. and they exchange looks like they think you're being kind of silly and you do feel kind of silly but you don't really feel like sleeping on grass so you just laugh and go find a new place and wonder how everyone else manages to just deal with their houses burning down. you must just not get it.

[tweetsongs]

meanwhile sometimes being eddie is like. your house starts to get warm one day. you assume it's just temperature fluctuations. you go to work and someone comments that your clothes smell a little like smoke. you snort and make a quip about your cooking skills. your house is a little warmer when you get home, and huh it does smell a bit like smoke. probably nothing, but you get your kid to sleep over somewhere else because he probably prefers a more temperate house. he looks at you weird when you drop him off. it's probably nothing. the house is a bit warmer. your best friend asks why your shirt is singed at the edges and you shrug and say you don't know. you go home. your foot goes through a piece of hardwood. you keep limping on. you start waking up with minor burns. you sit on the couch and ow ow ow it's kind of uncomfortably hot. but you kept saying it's nothing so it has to be nothing so you can't just LEAVE. you sit there accumulating burns. your best friend runs in and shouts why the FUCK are you sitting in a burning house and tries to drag you out. you get mad at him because jesus christ can't a man live in his own house??? but you go with him to indulge him and he hands you a hose and as you blast it towards your house you realize that most of it IS kind of charred. oops. your best friend helps you rebuild. you don't put in any kind of fireproofing. you're sure it was an one-off.

"A Thread of Stillness"

One of my three latest paintings from a connected series, available on my website

Each piece feels like part of the same quiet passage, tied together by light, water, atmosphere, and a subtle sense of transition.

men make it absolutely impossible to practice humility

[gothhabiba]

what you say: “I think this is the case”

what men hear: “I have no idea whatsoever, but here’s a totally random guess”

what you say: “I’m not an expert on this subject”

what men hear: “I don’t know anything about this subject and need its bare fundamentals explained to me”

what you say: “I could be better read in this area”

what men hear: “I have never read anything in this area”

[gothhabiba]

like okay fuck it nevermind I’m actually an expert in every subject I’ve ever read or heard about. in fact I know everything.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

If anyone's ever wondering why I come across as such an arrogant bitch on Tumblr it's because I used to work in science with a lot of men and never readjusted my communication style afterward.

[respectissexy]

This is one of my biggest seemingly low-stakes feminist soapboxes. Women are often encouraged to take hedging, consensus-seeking, and checking-in phrases out of their speech in order to seem "more confident". And listen, of course you do not need to say "I think" when you actually know for pretty damn sure, or double-check every little thing you say, or apologize for things that are out of your control.

But there are men in my life who I respect, who I think are generally good communicators, but who have admitted to me that if they do not know the answer to something they will just state their best guess in a confident tone of voice, with no hedging or clarification to warn the listener that what they just said was pulled from their ass.

I once asked my high school boyfriend what noise a platypus makes and he confidently told me "oh they quack" and I said "really? that seems like they'd have different noise-making structures than ducks since they're not birds" and he said "oh yeah you're probably right. I was just guessing." And had no idea why I was mad! I was like, so if I ask you a question you might just bullshit me?? What if I had believed you and gone and repeated that to other people? I could have looked like an idiot. I could have spread misinformation to a ton of people! But I have told that story to other men and had them say "oh yeah I totally do that."

This is so much worse communication than just saying "I don't know but I think..." There shouldn't be campaigns training professional women to sound "more confident," there should be campaigns training professional MEN to stop doing whatever THAT is!
