Betting I’ve reblogged this before. Betting I’ll reblog it when it turns up again.

In addition to the print terminology stuff: the visual shorthand icons and ad graphics for something about writing are still often pen-nibs, fountain pens and typewriters…

…while graphics of a monitor, keyboard and mouse remain visual shorthand for computing…

…even though most writers now use monitor /  keyboard / mouse or even laptop / touchpad.

In addition, headers for “this blog / website is about writing” are often in one of the many imitation typewriter fonts complete with smudges, or just Courier.

The start and end call icons on most / all smartphones is still the handset of a classic desk telephone, and sometimes the open-app icon is a complete phone.

The term “hang up” for “end the call” refers to something even older - one of these…

And of course the Save icon is indeed a 3½ inch floppy disc.

Why it wasn’t a 5¼ floppy is a mystery. The icon version is just as distinctive.

Also, why various OP updates never changed “Save” to the graphic of a CD / DVD or flash drive is another mystery, and nowadays a Save icon should probably be a cartoon cloud.

Graphics and terminology are funny things.

reblogging this again for EVEN MORE information.

Typewriters are a very physical/manual machine.

When you press a key, the stamp punches forward, usually with a lowercase letter in the right position to hit the tape. To access the capital letters, you need to Shift the position of the metal stamps downwards, so the capital letter strikes the tape and the lowercase letter misses. Pressing the Shift key is like changing gears! Sometimes engaging the Shift even makes a mechanical CHUNK.

On some typewriters, Shifting shifts the whole mass of the typebars. On others you Shift the mass of the carriage. Either way, it involves juggling a piece of mass while typing with the other hand (which is why you have a Shift key on each side of the keyboard - on typewriters these are joined together by the same mechanism). Even though either hand can engage the Shift, it still takes that hand out of typing work, and it only works for a few capital letters at a time.

Shift Lock on a typewriter is a little mechanical lock that physically holds the mechanism into the Shifted position. It’s a great little buddy, and you can find yourself getting fond of it.

me walking into the animal shelter: hi id like the stupidest cat you have

[goodatyugioh]

sometimes my cat won’t eat her dinner so i thought i was tricking her into eating by putting a few treats on it but she’s actually tricked me into feeding her treats and i want a stupider cat

[amodevotee]

Literally what I said to the woman at the shelter. I want the dumbest cat you have

Look at him, he’s got no brain cells. You can hear the elevator music playing in his empty skull. I love him

[goodatyugioh]

THIS IS THE BEST COMMERCIAL EVER

[satan-is-salmon-deactivated2017]

I’ve reblogged this so many times because I truly think every parent should involve themselves with what their child enjoys. 

[dance-hall-dyke-deactivated2019]

Not to mention this is an act of solidarity. He’s saying “even if the entire world is against you, I’m on your side.” Which I think is important for a kid to know. He’s refusing to be a bully to his child, even if he doesn’t understand.

I work at Hot Topic and we had a white suburban dad in who was buying matching heavy metal/screamo band shirts for him and his teenage daughter and said “To be honest, I think this stuff sounds like garbage, but she likes it so we listen to it together and we’re going to the concert for Christmas.” And it was just really heartwarming to see him so involved in his child’s life and validating her interests.

“I don’t get it, but I love how you love it” is one of the best things anyone can say. My entire family asks questions about comics because they want to share my enthusiasm for them and support me, even though they otherwise wouldn’t pay attention to the industry at all.

I went though a goth faze in my teens (like most) and I wanted more than anything to paint my room black. My mom was supportive of my personal expression in terms of my clothes and hair and accessories but she was genuinely concerned about the toll a black room would take on my mental health (I was already prone to recurring depression at that point and still am). I begged for months to repaint my room, but she wouldn’t budge.

One weekend i spent with my dad and when I came back she had repainted my room. A beautiful deep blue on three walls (my favourite colour), lovely sky blue on the ceiling,and one wall was black. The black wall had been sanded smooth and painted with several coats of chalkboard paint. She gave me a couple boxes of chalk and told me to have at it. I LOVED that black wall and wrote on it every day. I drew on it, I doodled, I wrote out my favourite emo song lyrics, wrote reminders for myself, anything I wanted. It was my favourite part of my room and was something that it would have never occurred to me to ask for. It was something only my very creative and clever mom could have come up with and I’m still grateful to her for it.

In retrospect, a room of black walls would indeed have been encouraging a reacurrence of my depression and my moms answer was the perfect compromise. That black wall ended up being the most colourful part of my room.

This is how I try to live; I’m absurdly enthusiastic about everyones hobbies, because if they’re sharing it with you that means they want you to hear about something they think is important!
