Defunct Sims blog and sad primary blog of handdaddyhoosier. If I followed you, I'm actually handdaddyhoosier. Damn you tumblr and your bullshit rules about not being able to change primary blogs!

the one thing thing funnier than this caption is that the only reason they stopped doing it was that the ferret shit in the tube

That photo makes Felicia’s work seem much more recent than it is. Here’s a picture of the world’s smallest particle physicist herself.

[garlic-bready]

They didn’t stop because she shit in the tube - she had a diaper on because they knew poop would obstruct the particles as well. She eventually stopped running through the tubes because they became too long for her. At that point she was retired and became a pet!

sometimes you dont eat fruit for awhile and then you eat some fruit and you're like oh fuck its fruit

[lunar-wandering]

fun fact!! it turns out that now when u make a new blog, tumblr forces you to follow 3-4 people before you can change your icon or modify your blog in any way!! this, of course, means that, yes, some of the "potential bots" many of us have been automatically blocking could have possibly been genuine new users who were only just seconds in to having an account!!! tumblr is literally screwing new users over!!!!

[lunar-wandering]

people asking me how i know this: i tested what it was like to make a new blog now

some notes:

you don't need an actual email to create an account. as long as you put "gmail.com" or some other valid email site at the end of a series of words/numbers, it will allow you to make an account. it will say "all cool tumblr users verify their emails", but will not actually force you to do so. this is, likely, why there's so many bots. (prettttty sure this was a thing beforehand as well and it astonishes me that they never changed it)

you have to follow 5-6 tags. they'll give some general basic tags (like "art" and stuff) and then subcategories of said tags. for example, "gaming" is a tag you can follow, and "genshin impact" is a subcategory of it.

when you pick your username, it gives you the option to use a randomly generated/default username. this is where all the more recent bots have been getting the Good Names from. i spun the button a few times, things like "shadydinosaurcat" were what it came up with. Yes, this does mean some of those "obvious bots" might've been real people who just couldn't come up with a name.

you are forced to follow 3-4 blogs that post in the tags you previously followed. you are given the option to follow all of them without checking their blog. (...i kinda forgot to do so but i don't think you can check their blog outside of the very small preview it gives?). as previously stated, you cannot actually access tumblr/your blog appearance before doing this.

there is no explanation given on how to add a header/icon, or change your blog title.

the for you page is the default. y'know how on our dashes it's ordered "following", "for you" "based on your likes" or whatever? for new users, "following" and "for you" are swapped. there is currently no way to change this.

[lunar-wandering]

the THING is. i know why they did this. it's so that new users don't feel like their dashboard is "empty". that's why. the only real issue is that they don't let you make an icon/header, add a blog title, or like or reblog posts until you follow those blogs. if they just put a step before it where you had to choose an profile picture, then this would be fine.

I hate to ask this of anyone but I’m in a jam. One of my cats needed emergency vet treatment and I need to gather about $500 that I don’t have at the moment. I’ve cut out pretty much all my extraneous spending but between housing, food and my vehicle I’m still living near paycheck to paycheck and scrape it all together. If anyone has anything they can spare my PayPal is here.

Anything helps at all, even just sharing this post.

[handdaddyhoosier]

Update: Just reblogging because I have to take him in for his follow up and pay the rest of my vet bill. Which I do not have the money for. Any little amount helps and even just a reblog means so much.

To everyone who donated: thank you so much you helped reduce my stress and panic by like 90% and I appreciate it so much.

sometimes you say or do bad things while you’re in an awful mental place. sometimes you say things that are rude or uncalled for or manipulative. and i’m not going to hold that against you. mental illness is hard, and no one is perfect. but once you’re through that episode, you need to take steps to make amends. you need to apologize.

“i couldn’t help it, i was having a bad episode” is a justification, not an apology.

“i’m so fucking sorry, i fucked up, i don’t deserve to live, i should stop talking to anyone ever, i should die” is a second breakdown and a guilt trip. it is not an apology.

when you apologize, the focus should be on the person you hurt. “i’m sorry. i did something that was hurtful to you. even if i was having a rough time, you didn’t deserve to hear that,” is a better apology. if it was a small thing, you can leave it at that.

if you caused significant distress to the other person, this is a good time to talk about how you can minimize damage in the future. and again, even if it is tempting to say you should self-isolate and/or die, that is not a helpful suggestion. it will result in the person you’re talking to trying to talk you out of doing that, which makes your guilt the focus of the conversation instead of their hurt.

you deserve friendship, and you deserve support. but a supportive friend is not an emotional punching bag, and mental illness does not absolve you of responsibility for your actions. what you say during a mental breakdown doesn’t define you. how you deal with the aftermath though, says a lot.

if you’re going to interrogate every openly Jewish person about their position on Israel before you allow them to participate in social justice activities, you’re gonna have to ask everyone else to pledge themselves to anti-Americanism etc while you’re at it. Like, there’s an onus placed on Jews to prove themselves to be more radical than anyone else is required to show

Hey I’m still living in the streets and don’t know when my next meal is going to be…I think tomorrow is my last day of phone service so my time is limited rn as to how long I’ll be able to receive help…If anyone cares if anyone sees this I know your all probably tired and excited about the stuff your going to do in the next three days…but if it’s not too much to ask a couple of bucks goes a long way…I don’t know where I’ll be christmas eve or christmas and this has been the worst year of my life…I’ve been finding different spots to sleep but the cops keep getting called and removing me so I don’t have a stationary spot. I am a black female…a blank space in a margin for someone to kill and leave somewhere and nobody will remember me…I think that’s what I’m most afraid of not being remembered. I am asking with all my humility please pass this along.

Has anyone found a way around PayPal not letting you send money?

dirksvlad:

The thing about the show is, that Dirk has basically said that he’s had to come to terms with his abilities and that they don’t do what he wants them to do, and how they ‘never help’ him… ‘ever.’ It’s a shame that the Young!Dirk scene was cut because I would have loved to learn more about how the show is handling his abilities. There is still potential for bitter!Dirk in the show though… Just like how the BBC one was like lacking the scifi side of things for the most part, I guess the BBCA version is lacking that side of Dirk. (The puppy dog thing is just an act, he’s an incredibly lonely character in this one, and he shakes it off by putting on that facade.) :(

Fan of the 2012 series here, and I don’t know if it can be said that it was lacking the sci-fi aspect, considering the pilot involved a time machine and the second episode a sentient computer-being. 

[nothanddaddyhoosier]

#ooc#sorry had to add my 2 cents in it#the thing about Dirk's abilities is that the new show fucks up the timeline substantially#By the time of the first book; he has settled into this pattern of being a con-artist with baseline 'psychic' abilities#this is accentuated in the second book#the bbc A show is apparently based after the events of the 2nd and possibly during the Salmon of doubt era#because he mentions Thor in it and is in America which was where Salmon of Doubt was about to be set#so it would seem that he's regressing as a character substantially#from mr too-cool-for-school or normal-detective-stuff to sad puppy dog wanting a bff

Yea the timeline of the show makes very little sense canonically. Arguably the business with the souls and the time machine is loosely based on/inspired by the first book. Not to mention in the show he hasn’t even created the detective agency yet it’s just an idea he’s playing with. Is Blackwing their interpretation of what happened after Dirk was arrested from St. Cedd’s? The show seems to really be missing that Douglas Adams’ voice aspect, that dry and sarcastic yet absurd and totally silly quality that is uniquely Adams. Things like the Electric Monk and his horse, Gordon, everything that is Reg (I miss Reg I wish he was in this) and just the way things are presented. Maybe changing Dirk so drastically was an attempt to bring in that silliness and absurdity and it’s enjoyable and I really like the show I just. Feel conflicted about how it represents the source material.
