@cat-26
I really like this website because somebody will be like “there’s nothing wrong with darting out from behind a parked car into traffic, bootlicker” and you can be like okay this clearly evolved from a valid point about how the US is too car-centric. But something happened to it.
you have this superpower! BUT you have this side-effect
is it worth it?
yes!!
the side effect is bad but ITS WORTH IT
meh it's okay
the side effect makes it unusable/not worth it
Results/option I didn't think of
someone used this image as a reaction in a whatsapp group i'm in. and. uh. yeah.
i wish i could erase things from my brain forever
Alright, I think I like tumblr now.
A pun post crossed my dash, and I reblogged it with an equally bad pun in return. A couple of my followers find it funny, it's a good day for everyone.
That was on July 7th.
Virality on Reddit was entirely algorithmic. You could garner a couple crossposts, but the success of a post was entirely dependent on whether or not it hit r/all--the main page of Reddit. If your post does that, it's immediately exposed to 10x the number of people and immediately gets upvoted.
On my pun post, I get a couple reblogs. And those reblogs get a couple reblogs--nobody really adds any content to the post, it just gets a couple reblogs here and there.
There's a specific chain of reblogs that I'd like to focus on. The most popular post on this chain has about 25 reblogs on it. Half the posts have three reblogs or fewer. Five posts in this chain have just one reblog total.
But the reblog chain keeps going. And going. It breaches containment many times over. And finally, after a chain THIRTY SIX posts long, at 9:30 AM, July 22nd this morning, it hits a popular account.
99% percent of the people who have seen the post--virtually unchanged from how it left my dash--have seen it because it was curated by 36 different people. That's insane to me.
None of those 36 people know that they're part of this chain. They saw a post, reblogged it, and moved on. If any one of these people had not reblogged, the post would have a fraction of the impact it has.
And yet, after two weeks, the post has effectively hit the main page of tumblr. It was picked up, only because people liked it enough to show it to their followers. There were no algorithms necessary.
You really, truly, cannot get this on any other website.
Reblog the reblogging post.
Like to ignore its wisdom.
Cat, unfortunately the enforcement of gender like that is still very common. The slight idea that one of the kids I work with wants to paint his nails like his friends? Parents took the kid out of the program. Bc the kid wanted to paint his nails his favourite green colour. Let kids be kids and like things please
hello hello
sad reality, BUT the good thing is that we are more and more people that realize this, and more and more people speaking up, and more and more people saying "this isn't good"
and we're moving forward! and we'll progress! and the future little kids will have it better and will people will say "can you believe how crazy it was that boys were not allowed to wear pink before??"
i truly believe, despite the crazy months/years we've had, that the world gets better and we'll all help it get there
today i was at the grocery store self checkout and the couple next to me had a little girl and she was choosing a kinder egg. there were pink ones and blue ones, and the girl picked the blue. the mom goes "not that one, that's for males, take this one [a pink one]" (literally said "macho", translates to male) and when the girl really didn't want to change the mom picked up the pink and ANOTHER IDENTICAL PINK and goes "do you want the pink or the blue". the girl picked "blue" (aka the second pink one). and it's like.... WHY. why do you have to TRICK HER into not bringing home a blue chocolate egg? why are people still afraid of little girls liking "not girly things". are they so afraid their little precious girl will not want pink dresses? worse.. want to do a man's career??? maybe.... play with trucks instead of dolls?? THE TRAGEDY THAT WOULD BE
AND THE THING IS. yesterday a man was telling me that "old women engineers probably had it rough, but that "now it's not like that anymore, there isn't problems like that'
and yeah it's better than 40 years ago. but IT'S STILL BAD. we still have these things happening ALL THE TIME and it's still there and like pretending we're ok just because women can vote and get credit cards just makes progress stop

i realized i have a bunch of draft posts, and it's strange
a few are just posts stopped mid sentence or mid thought
others are truly... time machines. like, reactions to videos i was watching. a lot of posts about techno. some "hey let's be happy together in the internet" posts.
there is something so satisfying about assembling furniture
Ok here's all the teams so far for Hermit Takeover MCC for those who haven't seen
i fucking love ryan gosling for saying this. he gets that if a movie hits like crack and gives us something ‘more’, the certain something beyond market value, we will naturally go full barbenheimer on our local theaters.
People be like "I wish dragons were real, I'd love to have a pet dragon, I wanna be a dragon rider" but then call horses demonic and chaotic and evil, like, mate, if you can't handle a horse you prolly couldn't handle a dragon. A dragon is just a scaly carnivorous horse.
implying horses aren't carnivorous
Thank you @wolfe-doll I know in my heart that horsegirls and dragongirls are natural allies
See thank you @nicovania I recognise that you are also speaking from the heart here
At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields
At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely
technically you can, if you don't care about degrees.
Free Harvard courses. Free Courses from Stanford. Free Courses from MIT. Free courses from Yale. Free courses from Princeton.
Free courses on Coursera.
Free Courses on EDx Free Courses on Alison
For paid, there's The Great Courses+/Wonderium. 20$ a month for unlimited courses.
When searching, the phrases you're looking for are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), or you can do a general search of say, "free online college courses." Oh, and so you don't get surprised like I did, have an avoid: Hillsdale College is a conservative Christian site and not a valid MOOC place. Sign up with them and you will get things like THIS IS WHY THE LEFT IS TURNING YOUR KIDS TRANS AND GAY in your inbox.
@yourunderwaterskies I wanted to say thank you so much for adding these links, seriously, they've been life-changingly helpful to me-
And I also wanted to mention that humanitarian organisations have free courses too, like the Red Cross on international humanitarian law.
Learn more about the Red Cross International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Program to train policy professionals, government officials, academics,
Kaya is a free humanitarian learning platform which offers hundreds of training opportunities across a range of key topics, including the hu
The older I get the more I admire people who are earnestly, genuinely into whatever their thing is. I know it sounds like an annoying cliche but unless you're being cruel or hurtful there is really no need to be normal about things. The dude with the bad fake accent at the renaissance faire is having the time of his life. The people having photoshoots with their fashion dolls are loving it. The old lady with a yard unreasonably full of tacky ass lawn ornaments is having a blast, HOA be damned.
Don't waste your time being too cool to have fun, y'know?
