Bookwork - Just a place where I can drought down my thoughts without getting judged - Be friends? - Gryffindor - A fan of many things - My Letter To The Universe

[grangerhm]

It’s been around 6 months since we last saw and spoke to each other in person, all four of us. But it’s past midnight so my minds wandering all over the place and wondering what you’ve been up to was one of them.

I thought we came to a peace. I thought we had talked it through. But…you seemed to be headstrong only on your feelings and your own emotions. What about mine?

“Nobody is ever too busy, you're just not a priority. They are unbothered by your absence.”

People can be extremely busy and not just in terms physically but mentally and emotionally. You know me. I get drained easily, I need time alone and in solitude to regain myself or else I’ll suck the life out of everyone. But why do you still think I never once cared for you and about you? I thought I had already explained myself? Maybe I should just drop it, I know we’ll fight again and not come to consensus.

But also….

“ If they walk away from conflict and carry on as if nothing happened, it's a sign to move on.

Actions speak louder than words.”

Who walked away? We talked openly and honestly. I let go of everything for you. But now you are making it seem like you hold a grudge and I should be blamed? Why do you only care about yourself ? You say you care for me and love me but why do you, not once, acknowledge my feelings and how I felt? Aren’t you romanticizing me and what we had way too much? You’ve been reliant on me for way too long. You know I’m no good with words, you’re always better than I am when it comes to practicality.

But hey… it’s past midnight, I shouldn’t trust how I feel about my life right ?

[grangerhm]

Realizing I have almost always never given full truth to people because of my honor.

Realizing I have hurt many because of my pride.

[grangerhm]

I think about us and what we had almost everyday, just like you do.

But I’m prideful to admit it.

You broke down every part of yourself for me and I tried to make it seem like I did too.

But I’m too prideful to admit it.

[grangerhm]

When you both reach that point of understanding, it brings so so much peace. I feel so at ease

Always reblog

[writerlywriting-deactivated2019]

As a former zookeeper we would hear this a lot. “If you don’t study hard you’ll end up cleaning poop for a living.” It’s the one time we’re allowed to go off on the visitors. I once heard my boss rant for five minutes at a lady, in front of her kids, about how he had a Master’s degree, how people literally worked there for free, and how dare she judge people without bothering to know anything about them. Later that day his boss came by and said, roughly, “She told us what happened. Thanks for not throwing anything this time.”

[unashamedly-enthusiastic]

I can count on one hand the amount of times I have gone off on people, but employment snobbery gives me the rage. I was showing the new kid how to use the fry scoop at McDonald’s “.. like this, and then just sort of hold it perpendicular and give it one tap..”

And the new kid sniggered “isn’t perpendicular a bit of a big word for McDonald’s?”

Something in me was just so annoyed by this 16yr old who was learning to work right next to me and somehow felt above us? Fuck that shit. I pointed at the people just on the floor and went off, “she’s a 4th year law student, she’s the primary career for her terminally ill daughter, he raises 100,000 for charity every year, she manages 3 stores and more than £16mil in turnover a year. What the fuck do you do?”

He just sort of mumbled “I didn’t know”

“you shouldn’t have to know, you’re not better than us. So. You tap it once and then move it here to release…”

“I didn’t know.”

“You shouldn’t have to know,”

yes to all this because workers can be educated and intelligent, but also, even if workers are formally uneducated or dont know big words that doesnt mean they arent equally deserving of respect

[smarter-than-the-republicans]

Zookeepers bust their asses shoveling shit and feeding apex predators so you can stare at an elephant without flying to Asia or Africa.

Fast food workers bust their asses surrounded by hot ovens and boiling oil so you can get food quickly without having to make it yourself or even learn how.

Janitors bust their asses cleaning up the most vile things humans can do to a public room so you don’t have to tiptoe around human waste everywhere you go.

Mail carriers bust their asses going door to door in near-fatal heat/cold and have to deal with the possibility of getting attacked by your poorly-trained pets so you don’t have to drive to the post office every single day.

Warehouse workers bust their asses making sure YOUR latest Amazon crap doesn’t just disappear into thin air.

And retail workers bust their asses coddling and picking up after you like your parents because none of you know how to read a price tag or stop deliberately miss-shelving things you never wanted.

But sure, go ahead and act like you wouldn’t be dead in a week without these people.

Never make a decision when you’re emotions are controlling you. You’ll end up regretting and feeling stupid

[grangerhm]

It actually seems crazy to me how 2yrs ago, when I was spilling my soul in this blog a small thought always popped in my head. “How will I be in a few years? I must be living my life then huh? Hopefully, hopefully I don’t go back here. Not afraid. With a smile looking back at how far I’ve come.”

But wow, that few years is here now. And I’m still the same.

[grangerhm]

My heart sank to my stomach when I finally realized and accept the fact that my head is a mess. That I am the problem

A brief summary of how user engagement is tracked on Tumblr, for the newcomer:

When you like or reblog a post, that counts as user engagement for the person you liked or reblogged from, and shows up in their notifications.  

If the person you liked or reblogged a post from wasn’t the original poster (i.e., you’re liking or reblogging a reblog), it also counts as user engagement for the original poster, and shows up in their notifications as well.  

This means that user engagement from your likes and reblogs can potential accrue to two different people, the original poster and the person you liked or reblogged from.  

Consequently, you cannot “steal” user engagement from someone by reblogging their post.  

This is one of the very few areas where Tumblr is actually functions more reasonably than other social media platforms.  

Note that this is only true if you use Tumblr’s built-in reblogging function. If you save someone else’s content to your local device and append it to a new post, you effectively become the original poster from that point on.  

This means that on Tumblr, “reblogging” and “reposting” are two different things; if you see someone complaining about “reposting”, this is not the same as reblogging.  

Commenting when reblogging does not affect any of this – unlike, say, Twitter, where quote-retweeting causes user engagement to accrue to the quote-retweet and not to the original tweet – and you can and should do so freely.  

However, every Tumblr user can see who exactly you reblogged a post from, which functions as a soft disincentive against making inane comments; if you make a dumb comment on a reblog, people who see your reblog may “back up” one step in the reblog chain to reblog a version of the post without your comment.  

Nobody understands tags, and there’s a fair amount of evidence that how tags work changes periodically and without warning.  

Tags are a divine mystery.

[prokopetz]

(For those going “how is this not obvious”, it’s about prior expectations, bro. On many major social media platforms, using the built-in sharing tools does divert user engagement from the original post. For example, as noted above, quote-retweeting on Twitter causes likes to accrue to the quote-retweet instead of the original tweet. This is because Twitter is hostile to human life.)

[grangerhm]

When you take a picture of the moon or sunset on your phone it doesn’t look as good as it does in real life but you don’t think the problem is “the sky is actually ugly” you just know the camera doesn’t capture the full beauty and you should feel the same way about yourself in photos.
