laptop overheating?? pour water on it to cool it down!

[chastittie]

i trusted you

[flygoing]

Do not trust people like me. I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth. I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people

Small tip to help some of your blind friends: do not put 10,000 emojis in the middle of a text or a post if you continue to put text after the emojis because I will tell you that I will Straight give up if I have to listen to “face with tears of joy, face with tears of joy, face with tears of joy,” 23 times just to hear the rest of your text or post.

Oh my god, that’s what screen readers say when they read out emojis?? I didn’t realize.. I will change how I write my posts now… My bad…

[13faeinapenguinsuit]

This is good to know. Pretend there are twenty three light bulb emojis indicating sudden understanding following this text.

[drackir]

So the clap hands emoji post would be extra annoying since you can’t just speed read it, damn!

[actuallyblind]

YES. That is one of my least favorite emojis because it’s LONG. It also says skin tone on some, and while that’s AWESOME, if you put 30 prayer hands, I have to hear “hands clasped in celebration with medium dark skin tone” 30 times in full. And even if I use a braille display, it still writes it out in full because there’s no real way to represent them any other way yet, so until someone invents a Braille display with like 10 lines that isn’t astronomically expensive, there’s no easy way to skip over them.

Now, at least with some screen readers, punctuation is a little different and if there are multiple of the same thing it’ll say like “17 exclamation points” instead of saying them all individually, and I wish that update would be made to screen readers to speak emojis in multiples that way… That would be a good solution.

[let-the-spectrum-in]

Is it okay to use emojis sparingly? I don’t ever use a million like that, the most I’d put in a row is probably two different emojis, lol. But I do feel the need to use either emojis or ASCII faces in order to get emotion across in my writing. Which is better for you, a traditional ASCII face like :-) or a newfangled emoji like ☺️? Can your screen reader “translate” things like :-) into “smiling face” or do you just hear “colon dash right parentheses”?

[actuallyblind]

Oh yeah, of course! If you only use one or two in a row that’s totally fine! Don’t feel like you have to just stop using them. They are fun and lots of people like them.

As for emoji versus traditional typed out faces, it doesn’t really matter. It can’t translate most of those faces except for a general smiley face, but I know what the symbols put together mean, though this may be difficult for somebody who is not very well versed in print reading. Most blind kids get taught to recognize both though.

[cowthropologist]

There’s so much good info on this post! I didn’t know any of this. Thanks for making it!!

If marriage isn’t the aim in your relationship, what are you doing?

[thighetician]

Enjoying each other’s company.

Boom, solved. Next mystery.

Be careful how comfortable you get with jokes that cut yourself down and emphasize the false concept that there’s no hope for your future and life is pointless. I get that talking about struggles is important and helps in not feeling alone. There has to be a line though, between “hey here’s something that’s rough so I’m gonna laugh about it” and cheering each other on as you hammer unhealthy concepts deeper into your mind. You are not worthless. You are not ugly. You are not trash. Good is absolutely possible in your future. Don’t forget that words have power. Be careful how much poison you throw in your own well.

[everythings-shiny-captain]

I’ll be honest: there are times when I resent this kind of advice. Things sometimes do seem hopeless and unchanging.

Except he’s right. “Be careful how much poison you throw in your own well.”

i just remembered that i dreamt last night that an anon leaked sufjan’s cell phone number to me and i was like Fuck What Do I Do so i eventually decided to text the number something like “hey i’m really sorry, but if this is sufjan stevens, this is just a heads-up that you should change your number asap because someone online is giving it out to randos” and he texted back, verbatim, “Don’t give me unsolicited advice.”

imagine the SOUND of someone walking down the street wearing those

[hyacinth-willow]

these shoes exude the same kind of pull that I imagine powerful and corrupting magical items to possess; that is, upon seeing this cursed image my first thought is “these are an abomination,” yet somehow, simultaneously, I feel compelled to wear them, against both my will and my better judgement

[vectorman]

Well today I learned that in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Stan Lee’s cameo is credited as “The Watchers’ Informant”, the Watchers being a marvel race that’s the oldest creatures in the universe so they just watch all the life instead of interacting with it now, and what he’s telling them in the cameo is the story of his cameo in the first captain America movie, meaning that Stan Lee has been playing a singular character this whole time and he’s always near the action because it’s his job to observe it and report back

[supersoftly]

Damn, man
