Tried to make my Instagram profile the place where I documented my art journey and kept pictures of handmade postcards I then sent out. But constantly felt like I was trying to sell something. So I came back to tumblr
also i want it to be noted that both Ray and Frank are very supportive of Gerard's dreams&visions&horrors, which Ray expresses by doing his best to roleplay a brainwashed rebel musician, and Frank expresses by visibly trying not to chortle during the interludes. and meanwhile Mikeway is just. Mikevibing. all is well and good in Mikeway land.
Like I said to my friend after watching Mikey happily bounce and prance around stage during the 2nd Wembley show:
I guess the reconditioning must have worked on one of them v(￣ー￣)v
The others might still be struggling and fighting. Meanwhile, Mikey's just happy to be back on stage. Maybe a little confused about being sponsored by a dictatorship now, but his older brother always took care of such things, so who's he to worry about it?
Amazing New Mexico sunset except it’s in Spain not New Mexico and there’s no Pete. I took this photo!!!
I love that Gerard is just lurking in the back. Like they do.

Depending on context:
* well then.
* ain't nothing you can do about it.
* well how about that then.
* you brought that upon yourself dude.
* it is what it is.
* that was completely to be expected.
* told you so.

@rainbowryland accurate?
I'm German and can confirm. Tja is equivalent to a shrug (and oftentimes accompanied by one)
Hold on, this is fascinating. Reblog this and tell me in the notes how old you are and if you ever had typing lessons.
What in God’s good name is a “typing lesson”
I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not
I’m serious what is a typing lesson? What would they teach you? To type? My brother in Christ it is like writing with a pen but technically easier.
Before home computers were very common, people typically only typed for business-related things, so the only people that actually knew how to use typewriters and word processors were authors, secretaries, accountants, etc. These people would take classes for typing bc it was seen as a skill. This gradually fell out of fashion, much like teaching kids cursive
Typing is only intuitive to gen y & z bc most of us learned through computer games or had someone tell us where to rest our fingers. People who never learned to type use just their index fingers, hit one key, take a long time to find the next letter, hit it with an index finger, and repeat until finished
34 i played this:
33 and i started with Mavis Beacon
34, had typing lessons in 3rd and 4th grade and Mavis Beacon as a kid and I’ve still never used home row except when I was forced to. I type everything with my left hand. The only thing my right is for is using the shift, backspace, and enter keys.
43, first had typing lessons in 4th grade on some type of Mac, then my mother bought me a book and a manual typewriter and made me learn to touch-type, for which I am still grateful 30+ years later. I remember how excited we were when we upgraded to an electric typewriter.
Of course, I got hit by nostalgia so hard that I recently bought a manual typewriter and have been writing letters to people with it! I love it to pieces.
28 and I learned to type through Type To Learn. I have severe dysgraphia to the point where I couldn’t keep up with writing in school early on, so the summer after second grade my parents trained me intensely on all the typing programs they could get, and found ways to help me learn to type fast.
I’m so nostalgic for those games.
“It is like writing with a pen but technically easier” my brother in Christ children also take writing lessons
#LMAO yeah^#i had computer class in 2001 where we eventually had to put paper over our hands to take a test to see if we could type without looking#we also played games#i hated the paper thing at the time. i knew i just needed MORE practice. i dont think i got GOOD at typing until a few years after that#also.. when you have a pen. you can just create the letter you need. with a keyboard you have to FIND IT. and its NOT IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER#how is that easier??#but i guess i dont know any kids whove grown up with computers and could probably type before they could write….????? 😳
Modern kids can’t type before they can write. I mean, most kids understand how to use a keyboard, and pressing letters takes less coordination than writing them so can be started at a younger age for learning to spell, but I’ve worked a lot with kids in the 8-14 year age bracket and they’re usually FASCINATED by how fast I type. (My typing speed is… not impressive. If they made me take one of those speed/accuracy tests they used to do for admin or data entry jobs, I would NOT pass.) But many of the kids I’ve worked with take my comfort and familiarity with a keyboard (I’m a writer) as some impressive, magical skill, because an awful lot of them are letter-peckers.
24, learned actual touch-typing when I was maybe 4 or 5 with this, the sound effects still live rent-free in my brain:
The shift keys on our computer were broken, so up until high school I would type capitals by turning caps lock on for a single key and then back off again.
I’m 39. We had typing lessons every year throughout elementary school. I never really got good at it until I started playing mmos, though.
My kids are in 5th and 6th grade. They’ve never even seen a fingering chart. The 6th grader is expected to do nearly all of his schoolwork on a computer, and he doesn’t even know the term “home row”. I don’t know how they expect them to excel without giving them the skills they need to use the tools they have to use.
I’ve gone what I can to help them learn how to type, but I’m not a teacher.
Mid 50′s.
Typing classes were only availble to those taking the secretarial class, which was not open to boys.
It should be noted that there is a distinction between typing as it used to mean and word processing. Typewriters were unforgiving machines, not only could you not cut, paste or delete (for obvious reasons) so your spelling had to be very, VERY good, but the legibiity of each letter produced depended on how hard you hit the key (unless you went to a fancy school which had electric typewriters, which were not the norm).
Those of us who were subversive enough to learn keybaord skills through computing had a MUCH easier time of it. Though it was often offset by the shitty keyboards some computers had, and YES, I’m calling you out ZX81!
If you can’t see any depth to those keys, you are correct, they have none because the ZX81 keyboard was a damned membrane!
But believe me, if you could learn to typeat a decent speed on of these, then NOTHING could stop you, expcet for the fact that the odds were good you were typing faster than it could process input.
It’s successor, the ZX Spectrum had spongey keys, which whilst not great, were better than nothing.
34 and I had typing lessons in (if I remember correctly) 5th or 6th grade. It wad part of a mandatory computer class.
But I also know a ton of ppl my age who didn't get them. In Germany, it seems to depend on what school you went to after 4th grade. Depending on their grade in elementary school, in many states, children go to one of either two or three different schools. One of these is always Gymnasium, which you only get into with the highest grades and which is designed to get students into university. The other school(s) are more job focused, and the expectation is that the students start training at a company right after 10th grade.
Gymnasium seems to be less likely to provide typing classes. It's more the school(s) training you to become an office worker that teach/taught computer classes
you know im starting to understand what this draft actually meant
Imo, it would help a lot if we all realised that any human being is an unreliable narrator in that sense of the word.
We all have bias. We can not help that. We all forget something even if we believe we remember everything correctly. We add details we're certain we saw or heard, just to be told by someone else that they saw something completely different.
"The Truth" rarely exists in reality, and if we stopped acting as if we knew it, we could save ourselves a lot of grievances.
Some months ago, I saw a tumblr post along the lines of "When Mikey Way got lasik an angel lost its wings" or something, and I googled what lasik is, and it was within my price range (unlike the treatments I had heard of before). Last week, I took a week-long vacation to go to London to see MCR, and I also got an appointment at a lasik clinic for an initial examination.
I'm filling out the forms right now, and they ask me how I found them and. I could say "Internet", but that is doesn't do the truth justice, does it?
I no longer use Google, but needed reverse image search for a shirt a friend had once sent me a picture of that I wanted to get for her bday.
And before showing me pictures and possible places to get said shirt. The ai thing Explained the shirt to me. THE FUCK WHY.
Like. Not even where it is from or idk which band's art is on it (I know all that, but if I didn't it might have helped finding the shirt). No. It just gave me an image description. In the reverse image search. Where I'm explicitly looking for images like my image.
"going out to get milk" is a common turn of phrase used to describe a man abandoning his family.
the "milkman" is a common figure in stories depicting a woman's infidelity and adulterous affair.
this implies that the ability to provide milk would both decrease the likelihood of a man abandoning his wife and children, as it would eliminate the need for leaving to get milk AND would secure that man's marriage, as his wife would have no need to seek milk from an extraneous source.
therefore, all men should produce milk, through various means such as:
- being a cow
- being an almond
- being a woman
- being a coconut
- being in the omegaverse
- being an oat
(list is exemplary and not finite)
in this essay, i will redefine the nuclear family and explain the seductive and inflammatory nature of the 1993 "Got Milk?" commercials.
I love asking people how their parents met. You always get an interesting reply. My best friend’s parents met on the relatively new internet in 1999. My other friend’s parents met at Burger King when one was the manager and the other was a regular customer. My parents met at the beach because they were neighbors in their rental houses, mom was on a church trip and dad was getting blackout drunk every night with his friends next door.
Tell me how your parents met in the tags.
OKAY thanks to dana/days_fade on instagram I have all of the new rules I *think*
translations by me
Thank you so much for the translations!
I was hoping someone would and I could find out afterwards what the keposka said. Now I feel dumb for not taking pictures myself and posting them online, so kind ppl like you have an easier job. Sorry.
If you google My Chemical Romance, Google gives you a little black-and-white fireworks animation and let's you shoot more fireworks with an occasional skull popping up by pressing the skull button.
I can't stop thinking about the haunted gentleman
Do you think having this listing on the Internet for everyone to see equals "having it out on display"?
I need to stop replying to “how do you make friends in your 30s?” threads because all my answers boil down to “you have to want to know people instead of have friends” and I don’t think people wanna hear that
It’s like. People can tell if you don’t really like or connect with them. If you aren’t truly enamored with someone you will have a hard time coming up with activities to do together to deepen the friendship. Because you don’t really like that person that much.
I want to add "you need to be yourself and let them get to know you" as another uncomfortable truth here. I need to want to get to know the person and them to know you.
Not just will it make it harder to connect if you just try to make yourself palatable and always do and say what you think the other person wants. But it will also keep away those ppl you could have had a real connection with.
Yes, it ultimately makes the process take longer since you will only connect with those few who actually get you and feel comfortable around the unfiltered you. But it will also stop you from one day needing a real friend and realising that all you have is ppl you regularly meet and talk to, but have no real connection with.
"crochet can't be made by machines" went from being a cool fun fact to being a call to action of "so if you see mass manufactured crochet in Target, that was made by a person and they were underpaid and you should boycott it" which is true, it was made by a person, but EVERY item of clothing you own (that you did not purchase from a company using ethical labor) was made by a person being underpaid (at *best*.)
Sewing machines are operated by *people*. Knitting machines are operated by *people*. Yes lots of the process is automated but you cannot tell a machine "make me a t-shirt" or "make me a knit cardigan".
Higher awareness of fast fashion, and the true human labor and abuse behind it, is GREAT, but let's not pretend that the crochet hat in target is THE problem. Every article of clothing in target is the problem. "All clothes are made by people" is the jumping off point here into understanding this issue it's not just crochet it's the whole thing ahhhhHHHHHHHHHH
If you've ever seen images of sweatshops in the early 20th century, in New York or the UK or other developed countries
Guess what
Your clothing is still made in a place that looks like that. The only thing that's different is the tech level of the sewing machines and the race of the workers 
Sometimes you log on to tumblr dot com and see your beloved mutuals thirsting over unrisen sourdough men and you have to say a very very quiet ‘pass’ to yourself and let it go because inevitably the flat circle of time will bring around your turn to go gaga over some butterface dude or bug eyed girl and you must know that your beloved mutuals are saying a quiet ‘pass’ to themselves and leaving you to your moment of insanity in peace.
you are so right, unfuckablebogtroll.
For all its faults Tumblr has truly ruined all other social media for me because my friends all have Instagram and are all trying to get me on Instagram more but every time I open Instagram there are like fifteen things screaming for my attention and when I get over myself long enough to start scrolling it's like. Where is my chronological dash. Where is the following-only option. Who are these people. Why are there so many videos. Everyone is screaming at me. And then before I know it I'm thirty minutes into scrolling and I haven't seen a single thing that I actually care about. At least on Tumblr when I see stuff I don't care about I know someone I follow has found a new interest.
Today, I remembered this one artist I followed on instagram a while back, so I decided to check if they had posted anything new. So, I went to instagram for the first time in weeks. And I had planned to just scroll through the things accounts I follow had posted and look at art.
And basically every single post was "suggested for you". They weren't necessarily bad posts, but it was not what I come for and I had no option to just look at accounts I follow.
In the end, I went to the specific artist's account, saw that there was nothing new, and left the website. I would have probably stayed longer and enjoyed myself if they had given me the option to not have to scroll through five to ten posts (yeah, mostly videos) for every post of a friend or artist I'm following.
