reading comprehension questions:
might there be a reason this post resonates with a lot of women?
can you describe the phenonemon of learned helplessness? give an example.
in what ways might the gender pay gap have influenced this post?
in most cultures, women are expected to do the majority of childrearing and domestic work, even if they also work outside of the home. in what ways does this influence the post?
Beautiful!
Broke the sound barrier with the speed with which I reblogged this. GO OFF QUEEN (OF THE NIGHT)!

be gayer
survive (I need us all to survive)
literally just get through it

Oh my gosh, how do you generate a reblog map? This is so cool! Look at the little constellation we all made!
having the Aviation Accident Investigations Autism™️ has actually done wonders for the way I process and respond to my own fuck-ups
And I don't just mean "oh, my little work mistake is actually nothing compared to a fiery crash that kills people," either. The reason commercial flight is so many orders of magnitude safer than any other form of transportation is because after every accident and incident, an independent regulatory body investigated it with the express goal of figuring out exactly what happened, why, and how to prevent the same thing from ever happening again—not to root out which person deserved the blame or the liability.
It's a simple, shockingly effective idea. It's also worlds away from how most people approach their own mistakes and the mistakes of others.
Because it’s never just one person’s fault. And even when it is, it still isn’t.
The sharpest, best-trained pilots make worse decisions when they're tired or sick or stressed out, so there's two of them. The most dedicated and experienced air traffic controllers garble an instruction over the radio sometimes, so pilots are trained to always repeat clearances back to catch misunderstandings quickly. The best and brightest maintenance mechanic still overlooks a screw or misconnects a wire once or twice in her career, so aircraft systems are built with two or three or four layers of redundancy, and pilots are exhaustively trained to deal with failures safely.
Everyone eventually has a bad day. Every component breaks down. Every computer gets a bad a Windows update and spirals into a reboot doom loop. If it’s possible for one person’s mistake to domino into a mushroom cloud of a fuckup, then that task is too critical to be one person's sole responsibility. The accident sequence starts with the design of the system—so how do you improve the system to keep it from happening again?
oh yeah. The “modern commercial aviation is the safest form of transport” thing only applies to planes, btw. A helicopter is a beautiful metal horse that wants to break its legs and die so so so badly
what is your LEAST favorite stitch?
I don't like counted work at fucking all. So: the cross stitch.
reading this as someone who does cross stitch but is scared of the other kinds of embroidery is like overhearing an incredibly tall and buff person say they have beef with Mr. Tom, the kitten that chills at the bookstore
FUCK Mr. Tom and his stupid little fluffy tail ok. And his little charted designs.
Okay, but this neglects the true villain of embroidery stitches: the French knot
Don't you dare malign my girl again
Ok the french knot is very useful but it is a BITCH to do it consistently
We talk about how this website’s hate mail game is insane, but this might just be a new level
"skill issue" made entirely from French knots is a next level roast. no coming back from that one. damn
people will insist humans are naturally selfish when feeding the birds is a common hobby. when there are wildlife hospitals you can call when you find an injured fox outside. do we get anything from helping wild animals? i don't think so. it's not personal. it's just nice. it's something we have the resources to do, so we do it. i think thats worth remembering.
Y’ever read something and have understanding that has eluded you interminably suddenly stop, curl up, and snuggle neatly into a fold in your brain because a new way way opened to it?
I've seen this passed around a few times, and I have one thing to say:
It's online. The book was carefully and wonderfully recreated online by hand. You can find it here. The entire book is this easy.

That's WhyMona, who has a bunch of similar covers on tiktok!
Tumblr might be particularly interested in knowing there are covers of things like Get Low and Milkshake.
Sand writing
"Huh, I wonder what sand writing i-- ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"
You ever see something that makes you think "wow I didn't even know that could be a talent or skill but that's amazing"
There b some specific ass forms of calligraphy in this world

......listen....
You're a hot shot air force pilot, complete with a cool call sign that you're embarrassed by. Today, you're having to explain your call sign to the rookie, and why you hate it so much.
literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.
Reblogging this with these tags because oh my goodness
To the person I reblogged this from THANK YOU i am now going to stick this on my pinboard where I’m gonna see it every single day
“Life is long and beautiful if you make it so”
Scrolled past this agakn and just can't get over how much I love it. We need to make things beautiful again and this is such a wonderful example. The beadwork on the wires of a utitarian object, contrasted with the grey concrete.
I love how humans have literally not changed throughout history like the graffiti from Pompeii has people from hundreds of years ago writing stuff like “Marcus is gay” “I fucked a girl here” “Julius your mum wishes she was with me” and leonardo da vinci’s assistants drew dicks in their notebooks just for the banter and mozart created a piece called “kiss my ass” so when people wish for ‘today’s generation’ to be like ‘how people used to’ then we’re already there buddy we’ve always been
The Hagia Sophia has inscriptions that were considered sacred for centuries until they were deciphered in the 70s to be Nordic runes saying “Halfdan wrote this”
my old english prof told us that theres a cave in Scandinavia where a viking gratified some runes like 14 feet up on the wall and when they finally reached it all it translated into was “this is very high”

Hardaker 2010, Journal of Politeness Research
Trolling in asynchronous computer-mediated communication: From user discussions to academic definitions
By: Clare Hardaker
Published by: Journal of Politeness Research Volume 6 Pages 215-242
LL Abstract:
In this article, Hardaker examines a corpus of posts from an equestrian discussion board to determine how CMC users define trolling in order to propose an academic definition of trolling. Identifying four themes in how users in this discussion board discuss trolls (deception, aggression, disruption, and success), the author next gives examples of posts to show how a troll should be defined as a CMC user who constructs the identity of sincerely wishing to be part of the group in question, but whose real intentions are to cause disruption and/or to trigger or exacerbate conflict for the purposes of their own amusement. Further exploring ways that this behavior can influence other users, Hardaker notes that trolling can be frustrated, thwarted, fail, or succeed depending on how users react, and calls for more research into impoliteness in CMC contexts.
LL Summary:
The article begins with Hardaker identifying that little research investigates linguistic agression online as opposed to links to offline violence, and Hardaker argues that current terminology in the field of im/politeness doens’t cover the phenomenon of trolling. Outlining previous research on im/politeness and CMC, the author reviews definitions of impoliteness relevant to this study and describes a shift in this field from an emphasis on the structural properties of arguments and disputes to a focus on the pragmatic function and contexts of these utterances, but the term “troll” lacks a clear academic definition. Next, Hardaker defines ritual or mock impoliteness in Anglo-American culture as constructions where the form may contain features that a layperson could consider impolite, while the function is to reinforce closeness, affect, or group cohesion. Non-malicious impoliteness is an utterance that is performed without malice but which a speaker anticipates may cause offence anyway (but lacks malicious intent). Hearer-interpretation based forms of impoliteness are defined as resulting in an interpretation of impoliteness when none was intended (as in H is offended despite knowing speaker S didn’t mean it, or when H incorrectly interprets a S’s malicious intent). After reviewing further types of impoliteness, Hardaker summarizes that S intention and H interpetation are recurring issues in the definitions of these politenesses, and highlights other recent studies suggesting that hearers co-construct S’s intention through available evidence. Giving examples of posts where participants posit that others are acting like trolls, the author then shows that we are continually working from assumption, deduction, and premise as both S and H, consciously or otherwise, also assess their own and the other’s utterances, and attempt to reconstruct the assessments of their own behavior that the other has made. Hardaker next discusses how degree of being on-record can interplay with these intentions, noting that the more off-record an intent is the harder it is for a hearer to hold the speaker to account . Describing how the possibility of intentional or accidential deception is increased in CMC, the author ends this section by discussing the term “trolling” in popular media, describing previous studies where trollers have intentions of luring others into useless discussion, disseminating poor advice, delineating in-group/out-group membership, and posting incendiary content with the intent of provoking others into conflict. Hardaker next outlines the data: 2,000 posts from a corpus of an equestrian message board that were searched for the keyword “troll,” describing how four main themes emerged in these hits. In the first theme of deception, Hardaker uses examples of posts to show how most examples were users struggling to determine between fictional and real identities of other posters as trolls may have tried to pass themselves off as legitimate members of the board. In the next themes of aggression and disruption, the author uses examples to show how trollers were defined by users as undertaking in malicious behavior aimed at goading others into retaliating or at attention-seeking. In the next section on the theme of success, Hardeker describes how users appraised the degree of success of trollers, their quality, and how others responded to them, further defining “bites” as a demonstration by the respondent that he had unwittingly been deceived by the troller’s professed pseudo-intent and was unaware of her real intent. Overalls, users were found to turn the tables on trollers by making sport of trollers through the face-attacking strategy of talking about them as though they were non-existent. Finally, quoting Donath (1999) Hardaker suggests a group’s character will determine not only whether a troller is harmful to the individual or the community, but if the user is deemed a troller at all. In this concluding section, Hardaker notes why previous terms of impoliteness are ineffective due to the possibility of users gaining ludic entertainment from trolling. Ultimately, the author suggests that the definition of the term “troll” should be as follows: a CMC user who constructs the identity of sincerely wishing to be part of the group in question…but whose real intention(s) is/are to cause disruption and/or to trigger or exacerbate conflict for the purposes of their own amusement. Finally, the author notes that trolling can be frustrated (H correctly interprets a troller’s intent and doesn’t respond), thwarted (H identifies intent and responds in way to neutralize a troller;s success), fail (if H does not interpret the intent and is not provoked), or succeed (H deceived in intention and is provoked into responding sincerely). However, users can also mock troll, or undertake trolling with aim of enhancing group cohesion. Finally, Hardaker concludes that humans find entertainment in conflict, but CMC allows users to exercise aggression against other real humans with little risk of being held accountable or identified for their actions, so more study is needed on im/politeness in this area.
LL Recipe Comparison:
This article reminds me of the recipe for One Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta:
Just as Hardaker can take many users’ posts into account in creating an academic definition of trolling, this recipe takes your limited time into account by allowing you to make a delicious dish in no time at all, and in only one pot. The garlic, fresh parsley, and Parmesan all combine into a savory and rich pasta, much as Hardaker’s review of the many types of impoliteness combines into a thoughtful analysis of a unique type of CMC behavior. Good cooking!
