celestia is such a funny character like she's constantly manipulating twilight and friends to do shit instead of just asking and you could arguably frame that as being bc she's a "god" and pushing fate to her design or whatever, except that she engages with the group like a normal and relatable person, which makes it more like villainous machinations, except 90% of this manipulation goes towards things like "I don't want my party to be boring shit again. put my little country girl blorbos in there with zero prep so they fuck it up bad"

[animusbell]

you think you've fucked anything up around princess celestia and she's like heh. no worries. all according to keikaku

[jukashi]

Celestia instantly makes more sense as a character when you ignore the princess stuff and remember that she's a 1000+ years old wizard. Of course she does manipulative trickster stuff to teach moral lessons and/or cause chaos to amuse herself, that's classic wizard behavior. Of course sometimes she's actually socially awkward and bad at personal relationships and has bad ideas that she thought were good that result in her eating shit embarrassing style, that's classic wizard behavior. Of course she lets the aristocrats and nobles run around being assholes she's still running on wizard advisor programming, she's basically trying to merlin the entire upper class of equestria instead of just a king and some knights. "Yeah uuhhh we'll release the incarnation of chaos himself from his ancient prison because we think this shy girl can be friends with him", terrible plan if you're thinking like a ruler, amazing plan if you're thinking like a wizard. Just look at Canterlot 'Castle' for five seconds and ask yourself if that's in any way a castle. No. Wizard tower, yes. Wizard.

Is this a hen or a roo? I THINK those are saddle feathers but I’m not positive…

[pangur-and-grim]

wait I just saw someone else do this, and it looks fun. could you recommend a dog breed to me based on these requirements?

small (or at least under 40lbs)

no prey drive

not a yappy barker

no long strings of drool

hypoallergenic is a plus!

low activity level

good health (and non-brachycephalic)

[dreamsreblogs]

Hi, I'm a groomer. Replies are limited so I have to reblog - I'd personally recommend a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. They're pretty small, quiet, lazy lap dogs. They're not yappy, not drooly, and don't have much of a prey drive. They're friendly. Not sure how bad their dander is compared to other breeds, but they're mostly healthy and don't get too mean. The reason I put them at the top of my suggestions is because they also don't require a crazy amount of grooming. Keep their ears brushed out and you can basically bath them at home when they get a little stinky. Maltese are smaller and have a lot of the same lapdog traits. They tend to be more yappy, though, and the biggest reason I wouldn't suggest them (as a groomer) is that their fur is very very fine and they can get some absolutely awful tangles so they need really diligent brushing and/or frequent groomer visits to keep their coat shorter. They also tend to be really touchy about getting tangles brushed out and can be a lot to handle on that front. Bichons are a little bigger and their coat is less bad than Maltese to work with, but they also have higher grooming needs than a Cavalier - brushing and appointments with the groomer are necessary. They also tend to be yappy and not great at handling tangles, but less bad than maltese. Shih Tzus are being recommended a lot. We see a TON of those at my job. They're really popular for a reason, but I'd never want to own one myself. They tend to get really ornery with age, and also a lot of them are really loud. They also need regular grooming, but are a lot better about handling being brushed out (in general). They just... often try to bite us a lot, compared to most breeds lol. They also have more energy than Cavaliers and Maltese. Lhasas are like bigger shih tzus who skip to the ornery stage early. Pomeranians are kind of a tossup. Two of my absolute favorite dogs that come in are the cuddliest, quietest, sweetest little things - healthy, good skin, the works. But we also have nightmare poms that yap constantly and spin non-stop and have bad skin and horrible dander. Schnauzers are similarly a tossup. I've known some nice quiet lazy ones, and also ones who will 100% try to murder our kennel cat and also any hands that get anywhere near them. You don't want a beagle or a hound of any sort. You also don't want a dachshund or a min-pin. Those are going to be high energy, high prey drive. You also do not want a cocker spaniel. Way too many have HORRIBLE skin issues. I'd also pass on yorkies. They have similar fur issues to maltese but also high energy and yap a lot. I don't know enough about Havanese, Corgis, or probably many others I've forgotten or not seen suggested. And of course, everything I've said is a generalization. Dogs are absolutely individuals.

[yeahokayillreblogthat]

Yeah okay I'll reblog that!!

[multishipperpirateking]

My dad used to work for Vodafone and likes to tell a story about when he was working on a voicemail transcription service.

And there was a woman there who was some form of disability advocate (it was the 90s so her existence in the company was a minor miracle) and apparently she completely blew his mind on that project.

See, he'd imagined that this service was exclusively gonna be for deaf people. Obviously very useful for the very small number of people who couldn't hear their phone, but why would you even own a mobile phone if you couldn't hear?

But she described to him all the times he might want to read a message instead of listen to it. Maybe he was in a loud football crowd. Maybe there was important info that he needed to copy down that was spoken too fast. Maybe he was holding his sleeping newborn (me) and didn't want his phone to be loud and wake them up.

This doesn't feel as revolutionary as all that to those of us that have only ever known phones with the ability 'send text message', but given the timing and placement of this conversation I wonder if this woman and this project is *part of the reason text messaging exists*. The first text (SMS) message was sent by Vodafone UK in 1992 - where + when this conversation was happening - and then for a long time it was supported exclusively for 'messages from the carrier', and this project was an early potential extra use of the SMS protocol.

So Yeh, building for disability is kinda handy..

OP image is text on a pink background that reads:

"I went to and worked at a fairly large flight school attached to a university. We had a couple thousand people enrolled in the program that went all the way from 0 hour student pilot to Multi Engine Flight Instructor, and on clear calm days you can guarantee that there would be a handful of student pilots doing their first solo flight. One student, having completed his two landings by himself, taxied off the runway and switched over to ground control and asked for clearance to taxi back to the ramp and complete his first solo flight. Ground obliged, gave him clearance and congratulated him on a solo well done. Solo student read back the instructions but for some reason forgot to take his finger off the microphone button. Anyone tuned into ground control could not only hear but could do nothing to interrupt or stop him as he sang a song of his own invention about how much he loved the aircraft he was driving. For three whole minutes, this poor bastard serenaded the 20 or so pilots, ramp workers, air traffic controllers and flight supervisors with "I love you Cessna, I love you Cessna" as he taxied back to the ramp. Eventually he realized he was on the air, took his finger off the button, enabling ground control got back on the frequency and, over the howls of tower cab crew laughing so hard it hurt, the controller thanked him for the song and would pass along the compliment at the next opportunity."

I think they meant "enabling ground control to get back on the frequency" but I left the typo for accuracy

Two reblogs down, there's another image. Image here is was originally posted 19:49 22 Dec 21 by someone called "borroo" "@averycutedog" on (I think) Twitter/X and it reads:

"you should feel safe on planes not because the crew and pilot are experts but because everyone who works in aviation wants to fuck these things and every plane that crashes is a wife that dies"

This.

This is why people who stay in my life are neurodiverse like me!

[nottoolateforthegame]

Huh

[thisisnotjuli]

this!! I swear I lost like all my friendships bc of this, like I had a group of friends in hs that one day I realized “huh I haven’t talked to this people in a while” and popped in to say hi and they were all awkward?? because they hadn’t seen me in a while?? and that’s when I realized that friendship works different for them?? I was like yeah I haven’t talked to you in like four months but it’s not like I’ve forgotten about y'all why would anything change, and they were all like we haven’t talked to you in four months why are you here again acting like nothing happened? and it was really confusing for me

[mimir-bashir]

YEAH! THAT!

Also I have a thing where I just put the people on pause. If I don’t see them or contact them, my brain kinda put them in stasis. I don’t think about them nor misses them, and I stay on what I last knew about them (how they look, what they study/work). So when we meet again I’m like “wait, you’ve aged?” and I have the same familiarity with them thanI had before.

[gender-snatched]

Anyway all my mutuals I haven’t messaged in forever - this is why

[official-lucifers-child]

oh my gods this makes so much sense??? there are people who i haven’t talked to at all for literally over a year and we’ll pick up like nothing happened, but for their people it’s just like…… falling apart but onesided???? i think we’re still on the same level but actually we’re strangers??

[link-the-feral-anon]

Ohhhhhh

[shark8-my-leg]

OHHHHHHHHH….

[quarra]

Ok but listen, on the other side of this, as a person who moved hundreds of miles away from everyone i knew and then became a hermit for several years, it was SUCH A FUCKING RELIEF to get in contact with an old friend and have him be like, “my friendship levels do not degrade, so in my mind we are still awesome close buddies” and i almost fkn cried. I thought he would be mad or would have moved on because i had slacked on my reaching out to him and staying in touch and doing all the friendship things. But NOPE. 800 miles of distance, depression, and life changing circumstances didnt steal our friendship and i am SO GRATEFUL.

[thatlittleegyptologist]

#came back to tumblr after four years #lottie and I immediately went like that spiderman meme yknow tags via @rudjedet

I have literally no friendship degradation whatsoever. I will not have spoken to someone for 5 years or more, and they’re still as much a friend to me as if I had only seen them yesterday. I’m just very bad at communicating if someone is not in my direct orbit. So when Sonja reappeared on this site I basically screeched into her notes like a banshee because I was delighted and we picked straight back up where we’d left off.

[elodieunderglass]

Happy to go on the record that I don’t expect regular contact and will welcome hearing from people after a long time

[beyondthisdarkhouse]

Holy shit, I didn’t actually realize this was a Thing.
