For making bad days better @likerocksbutdifferent - Tumblr Blog

random delight that I enjoy: scrolling through a post that was reblogged by someone who is neither yourself nor ebonyheartnet, and it has ebonyheartnet tagging you in the comments to look at a dumb joke about skeletons or whatever. this has happened a surprising number of times. y'all are too cute.

Aww I’m glad it makes you happy too!

Me: for “scary things” I have “boggart”

Dad: What’s that?

Wag: It’s the thing in Harry Potter that turns into whatever you’re scared of.

Dad: You know, there’s this guy in the NBA who...

[confused pause]

Wag: ... who... turns into whatever you’re scared of??

Oooh, congratulations!! I couldn't decide which of these I liked better, so you get both. ♡

do you write? you have a very compelling writing style. you could literally be writing about the most mundane shit and I'd still turn off all my distractions to read it thoroughly -- which for me and my terrible attention span, is saying something.

Aww thank you so much, anon! I have some fics over on AO3, but I haven’t written much recently. I should get back to that! :)

I’m having a weird brain day and everything is feeling kinda unreal. The upside of this is I genuinely don’t know whether or not San Francisco has a sports team called the 69ers. Like that can’t possibly be what the number is, but…. maybe?

raisel-the-riveter

My sibling: in the throes of brain fog, aware that whatever sports team they are thinking of is named after some gold rush-related year, thinks it’s vaguely plausible that when they named the team they decided to bite the bullet for the sake of historical accuracy.

Me: struggling to perform basic self-care tasks, no idea what sport the team in question plays, knows when the gold rush was, throwing open my sibling’s door at 3pm with dripping wet hair wearing only a towel to inform them that the team is called the 49ers.

#addie: apparently all the brain cells in the apartment. at work

Addie: at work. talking for twenty minutes and yet failing to communicate that jobs often require more than one skill

Addie’s boss: “would you like to draw a picture.”

Sometimes an apartment is three people and zero brain cells

I love these because all these huge skeleton monsters just seem sort of….sheepish. Or shy. Or almost sweet? They’re not trying to be intrusive, they can’t help that they’re big and look like they do. They’re just trying to be social, and are awkward about it.

You’re standing in the exact location a businessman realized that what’s truly important, is family.

im so mad bc “atlas shrugged” is such a raw fucking title. thats an EXCELLENT name for a book. a man holding the weight of the entire world on his shoulders is so moved by his disdain for the current state of things that he exerts the force to shrug. indifference to the nth degree. that’s fucking metal. then you read it and it’s just about hating poor people.

prideprejudce

not to be a “this whole website is one giant social experiment” but it honestly blows my mind on how tumblr has completely twisted the genuinely good philosophy of “be thoughtful and think critically of the media you consume” and turned it into this extremist mindset where something is either completely ideologically pure in every single way (which, bad news. is impossible) or it’s the work of Complete Evil and must be banned and ignored in its entirety if found to be slightly problematic. and from this mindset has blossomed a black and white lens on human nature and a terrifying 1 strike and you’re out system with no growth mindset whatsoever

I’ll give you 3 guesses what OP’s been accused of

thefudge

okay, i’ll play. i checked thoroughly and OP hasn’t been accused of anything, you just don’t know how to argue against this post so you go for “cancel culture”, aka exactly what they’re talking about. congrats, you proved their point

princessparadoxical

OP: Perhaps it would be healthier for everyone if we stopped being intimidated by nuance and grew out of our current puritanical holier-than-thou approach to media.

Some idiot: But I’m sure you’ve done something wrong in your life??

plucky-passerine

Probably the biggest whiplash I’ve gotten on any post was seeing that first comment, thinking they were just referencing Tumblr’s tendency to unfoundedly accuse people of things with absolutely no evidence because they said something they disagreed with, seeing the next comment implying that the first comment was 100% genuine, and then looking in the notes and finding out that the accusation referenced by the first commenter was that OP used to ship Draco and Hermione from Harry Potter

#i see why it makes people uncomfortable but its not like they killed a person yanno?

threebigolsausages-deactivated2

i went to a hockey game last night and as a person who doesnt know much about the sports i had a few thoughts on how the game could be made more interesting to watch:

one person on each team should switch jerseys to add a little confusion to the mix. this also adds another layer to the game for those two players: where do your loyalties lie? are they only skin deep?

the penalty box should be directly in the center of the ice and completely transparent. anyone who misbehaves is sent there to stand in the shame box and watch all their friends having fun skating around them

if i learned anything from high school its that 3 consecutive periods of the same subject is too much. 3rd period should be chemistry
