The customer is never right
normalize the customer never being right
Nah. I had to spend ten minutes convincing a Starbucks barista that their Eggnog Chai doesn’t have coffee in it. It’s a tea, for goodness sakes.
She never believed me, but she did make me a “special” one with milk instead of espresso. *facepalm*
You mean the eggnog chai LATTE you fucking idiot? Die
The customer is always wrong and I can’t believe some poor barista had to deal with this foolishness on Black Friday none the less
… I feel like this is kinda mean. Labeling EVERYONE in a certain category (the customers) as wrong simply isn’t true. There are definitely customers who are mistaken in certain situations but just because that’s true, it doesn’t make everyone else wrong. That’s like saying ALL men are stronger than women, which isn’t true. SOME men are stronger and SOME women are stronger. We as people should start using SOME more than ALL and NEVER.
You can really tell who’s never worked in retail before by the way they view customers
I mean I get the vibe but I've been reading the website NotAlwaysRight and the website NotAlwaysWorking for a really goddamn long time and that's given me enough content to appreciate when retail staff can get it wrong too.

Clytemnestra: crack? Is it crack you smoke?
i think bc of youtube and instagram which advertise and invest in their popular creators people forget that “big” tumblr users are just accidentally popular and that NO ONE is backing their sails. we don’t talk to or hang out with each other. there’s not a convention or ad money to encourage collaboration bc what would we even collaborate on. there are no big tumblr trends or memes or in jokes. if i could make $1000 in ad revenue writing a shitpost with setheverman don’t you think id have done it. i am untethered from earth and reality, alone in the dark i can’t recall the taste of strawberries
We should make a tumblr convention so this can happen :)

If 2020 ends with Dashcon coming back I’m going to unplug my modem and walk into the woods never to be seen again.
Joy I was living on a Norwegian goat farm without running water or electricity when the fist dashcon happened and then I went into town one day to check my email etc. and it happened to be the very day it all unfolded. So unless you STAY in the woods it won’t help.
I feel that’s like living a quiet country life circa July, 64 AD, looking out your window toward Rome and just seeing smoke in the distance.
Once upon a time way back in the halcyon days on not 2020, I happened to be in Hyde Park in London with friends on the same day two meet ups were happening.
The first we walked through was the YouTube one, it was one big block of very young peeps all clamoring around a couple of Australian mid twenties youtubers. Lots of screaming, lots of fangirls and boys, it was.. Bewildering.
On the other side was.. The Tumblr meet up. They were spread out in small groups, all dressed in their finest mall goth, emo, scene or cosplay garments.
The groups were like night and day, it was a brilliant sight to behold.
do you ever have a conversation and think “I am not heterosexual enough for this”
happy Thursday the 20th
I’d have to wait months or even years for another chance to reblog this, so why the fuck not?

Heritage post
it is past time we jettisoned the useless false dichotomy of introversion vs. extroversion and just accepted that everybody has a minimum amount of social interaction, failing which, they get really weird. and everybody has a maximum amount of social interaction, exceeding which, they get really weird. these levels are different for everyone, for a variety of reasons, and have no moral dimension. and that is all.
why would you come to this club and just shoot Myers & Briggs like this
them fishes be like
so we’re watching shrek because it’s wednesday my dudes and we have taste and when they get to duloc there’s a sign that says “you’re parked in ‘lancelot’” but (!) as we all know it’s established in shrek the third that the arthurian legend hasn’t even occurred yet in the scu (shrek cinematic universe) as arthur and his knights (including lancelot) are still in high school so @dreamworksanimation
these takes are so galaxy brain
remember when tumblr used to have the format for reblogged additions on posts be indented instead of vertical and if the post had enough additions to it (which happened frequently because no one on tumblr can shut their fucking mouth) it would just push all the text off the side of the post completely and it became unreadable. it would get so far pushed over that it would just be exactly one character per line and you had to read the post like that. that was a real thing that happened
Sweet sweet nostalgia
Remember when this changed and everyone was FURIOUS for whatever reason
i still miss it. they RUINED tumblr by making it MORE FUNCTIONAL. I come here for a TRASH SITE that DOESN’T WORK.
It was more fun that way y'all have just become boring assholes
Donno about you but I’m gonna make a corpse of the first trillionaire
#would that be a felony or a public service
honestly, mood
I've been following lockdown rules since the 16th March, I feel this.
some gay bantz from eddie izzard & alan carr
#i LOVE when famous gay ppl talk exactly like me and my gay friends
He apparently goes by he/him pronouns and his gender identity is more kind-of-in-the-middle (I don’t think he’s nb or Demi though)
I think he’s an AMAB Trans-guy (I don’t exactly know how that works, but I respect and love him)
-SHE! uses she/her pronouns IN ADDITION to he/him pronouns
-she is genderfluid and identifies as both male and female at the same time
-she identifies as “transgender” or “trans” currently and used to identify as “transvestite” which was her RECLAIMING that word and she originally identified as “TV” in the 1980’s when that language was common which was a shortened version of “transvestite” which she has always described as being under the trans umbrella/transgender when again, the language just changed
-i have heard her use she/her pronouns for herself and call herself transgender in person with my own ears
-the fact that she ids as both “trans” and also a “guy” is what she means by that, not that she is a trans male amab.
-she identifies as a lesbian because she partially identifies as a woman and is exclusively attracted to women and when she came out in the 80’s and 90’s it was a common misconception that transfeminine people were all attracted to men hence her usage of the lesbian label (ive also seen numerous people who are nonbinary and dont fully identify as women use the term lesbian, amab transfems shouldnt be an exception)
-*also to clarify i originally replied to that person saying shes trans because i forgot i captioned the video with “gay bantz” and thought they were confused at her saying she came out, but also i was using the term gay in a more general way here not gay as in “man attracted to men” but as in “gay/lesbian” and even just broadly “two lgbt people making jokes about coming out and beards” which is, broadly speaking “gay bantz” imo
Yay! Genderfluid! A genderfluid icon!
Eddie Izzard is a genderfluid icon!
Fuck being just one person with just one gender all the time.
And an executive transvestite at that.
i dont want governments that acknoweldge my gender on their forms under a guise of acceptance in order to further target queers. i dont want facial recognition software that can see and read faces of colour and with disfigurements. i dont want cops taught social justice language so they can slink into our rallies and movements and spy and wreak havoc. i want the systems gone.
To be fair, we were just talking in my Media Histories class how the photograph was a huge huge player in cataloging not for art or “fact” that we think of but criminal and racial stereotype development.
Ooh ooh a thing I know about! One of the very first uses for photography was for medical professionals and Hugh Welch Diamond was one of the big figures in the field known as "psychiatry photography".
I wrote my undergraduate dissertation about photography in asylums in the 19th century, focusing on women. (Spoiler: they had a bad time) In essence it contributed to doctors ability to classify people based on how they looked. Women were photographed when they entered and when they left and these photos were used to evidence that they were cured. Before they only had engravings or paintings which were unreliable for their purposes.
Oh she came in with hysteria? Of course, look at her wild eyes, her unkempt hair, her scowl! Now here she is, completely cured, clean neat hair, bland calm expression, washed clothes! It's a miracle. Shame she was readmitted and died in the asylum six months later.
Psychiatry photography led on to being used as criminal evidence.
To quote a superintendant of the time "In the case of criminal lunatics, it is frequently of great importance that a portrait is obtained, as many of them being originally of criminal disposition and education may be traced by sending their photographs to the police authorities"
In the case of photography, it's been used as a tool against mentally ill people since its invention, and whatever they define as mentally ill which in the 19th century was... Well basically anything.
the user base of tumblr is a specific demographic of people who were ‘the smart kid’ growing up but didn’t do as well academically as they got older due to mental health struggles, were probably bullied in school and were quite lonely & introverted so they took solace in reading but now rarely pick up a book, grew up on tumblr but continued using it into adulthood unlike most of their peers who stopped using it after it lost popularity
I FEEL CALLED OUT
Geeze on crackers, that is accurate
How dare you come into my home. My safe space. Take my jewels. and then call me out like this.
You all are fucking dumb except for the ladies with big boobs. you are smart :)
