hi folks. this post always seemed familiar to me for some reason, even when i saw it the first time. i only just figured out why, it uses a message i sent to my brother two years ago

[fur-bies-deactivated20180106]

i let the furby skins soak in fabric softener after i washed them and my sis found them and sent me:

and i have never laughed so hard x’D

[eeeeeeeeeeeek]

[dracota]

You never peeled a furby?

And why did the value plummet, Marissa? Why did it plummet?

Yahoo thought Tumblr would be the next PDF

Yahoo’s grand plan for Tumblr was to turn it into a “next-generation PDF”

They didn't really get it.

[noctumsolis]

What does that even mean? PDF as in Portable Document Format?

[sreegs]

i cannot stress enough that i dont think yahoo even knew what a pdf was

[filmnoirsbian]

I find your lack of whimsy disturbing

[mishastoesies]

“if no art makes you feel anything, make your own art and feel something” is too raw of a line to have come from a jenna marbles video of her painting a rainbow/polka dot seahorse saying “it’s seahorse time” on a denim jacket

[greenycrimson]

Why do you people feel profound thought has to come from high places? The gutter looks at the stars too

[aberrantemotion]

not only did you prove your point, but you showed an example of it in the same sentence

This is an interesting story because people my parents age are like “How dare he” and people my age are like “oh same”

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

What’s even more interesting is he’s not serious. In India there’s a culture of intense deference to parents. He believes that this is a very unhealthy way for people to live and so he’s using this court case as a way to tell people that the idea of “you must grovel in gratitude to your parents because they brought you into the world and fed and clothed you” is a bad thing and that parents have to feed and clothe you because it’s their damn job and they chose to have you.

He really gets on with his own parents and his mother has publicly voiced her support for him.

Tl;dr: This isn’t incel bullshit like the dude who’s parents evicted him last year, this is a political protest to unhealthy expectations parents have for their children even though he isn’t pressured into those expectations by his own parents.

CCing Ibbi-Ilabrat on this one just to make sure we’re all on the same page!

This consultation with my viziers could have been a clay tablet

i don't like to yuck people's yum but i have to say that my least favorite thing to come from the current state of Artists on the Internet is the idea of a sketchbook as something nice and pretty and shareable. like i love me a notebook full of gorgeous art don't get me wrong but that is NOT what a sketchbook is. a sketchbook is my friend who i carry around everywhere like a purse chihuahua. it is the physical manifestation of my notes app. it is the container into which i wring my brain out. it is my therapist. and most of all it is filled with absolutely terrible sketches that should never see the light of day.

[moldspace]

this post is making the rounds again and the amount of people saying that the pretty sketchbooks phenomenon ruined sketchbooks for them is HEARTBREAKING and i stand by my opinion that sketchbooks should be like a jar you put your OCs in. and then you shake them around in there. that's what they're for

wish this hadn’t become a meme bc like it’s seriously so insane & true like yeah being seen is excruciating

[drunktuesdays]

Tim Kreider wrote a follow-up essay reacting to the fact that the mortifying ordeal line became a meme, and it’s mostly him being sort of condescendingly annoyed at us because he thinks focusing on this one excerpt was missing the point but he dropped another banger in the process:

They think that what another person will learn about them is what they see in themselves — the squirming, icky, insecure mess inside. They don’t know yet that the ways in which they’re secretly screwed up and repulsive are boringly ordinary.

I don’t know why, but I love that. I’ve repeated it to myself a few times in the past when I’ve worked myself up into a lather. You are not uniquely horrible, you are just regular horrible in the way that we’re all a little horrible. The mortifying ordeal of being known is mortifying precisely because you have to accept that someone can know your most awful flaws and irritating behaviors and not be shocked, appalled or impressed. You and everyone else, babe.

you broke bitches dumb as fuck🙄🙄they got money like right here

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

one of my favorite ways to be hurtful on purpose is to pretend I’ve forgotten what kind of car a Tesla Guy drives each time he brings it up

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

the other day I referred to a Tesla Guy’s car as “the little white sedan” and I thought he was going to hit me with a folding chair

[umbairnatrium]

The other day at a tech bro party I called one "that new Prius" to the guy who owns it and an entire room of men fell silent. Three of his friends turned to reassure him I was joking.

I felt very powerful.

[cipheramnesia]

You are.
