(In case it's not obvious to everybody, this is an edit; "they pay me in woims" is the punchline from a different Nancy comic. The original punchline to this one is also funny:)

[the-real-seebs]

that makes a lot more sense

but the edit is a solid comic

nothing is more tumblr than having a tumblr sexyman wiki and then warn you to not find some of those men sexy because it's problematic

Literally begging people to engage with media in a way that isn’t “strip layered characters into a one-size-fits-all babie personality that’s basically just the phrase ‘appley juice :3’ as a personality”

[maydayparkers]

I don’t know how many times I have to say this but if you smooth away at every rough edge that makes a well written character interesting you’re always going to end up with the same smooth sphere. And if you’re only comfortable playing around with that sphere then either you never liked the original all that much or you should probably have a long think about how you consume with media and why this is the only way you seem able to do so

“What if poor people abuse the system?”

The system intrinsically abuses poor people.

Hope this helps.

[breninarthur]

"What if poor people abuse the system?"

Rich people abuse the system far more and out of pure greed, not necessity or desperation so idrc about that

[thequeenoftheentiregoddamnworld]

Hey, hey, look me in the eyes when I tell you this okay? The whole "do trans women or trans men have it worse?" debate going on right now is the most obvious CIA bullshit on earth cause honestly we've both got it pretty shitty and fighting each other isn't helping anyone

I need all the hyperlexic statistical outliers on tumblr to look up what’s meant by low literacy, it means like, can’t read the notice from the electric company that says they’re cutting you off. Can’t read your doctor’s instructions on how to treat yourself at home. It means “school system failed you so badly that it might kill you”, if you’re reading simple fiction for fun you are already so far out of the window of maximum concern

[letmefixthatforyou]

Okay but can we stop using hyperlexic to mean "has a large vocabulary" or "knows how to read really well"?

Hyperlexia is a real condition that makes people more likely to have a low literacy level because it's defined by being able to read words without comprehending what they're reading.

[kuttithevangu]

I’m hyperlexic and I used that term in that post because I recognize the pattern of people who know how to read every word but have a very hard time understanding the (especially social) meaning of the gestalt

[hadesisqueer]

"Tattoos are becoming unpopular", "piercings are unpopular again", "keep your hair natural never dye it again, it's the trend now" literally fuck off I know what y'all are doing

i’ll be real, kitten, daddy needs multiple wealthy and powerful folks to die in a painful, drawn-out, and generationally humiliating manner

[strictlyquadrilateral]

okay, like, listen. imagine if animals formed a support group for people who aren't human. and all the resources were like "for creatures with four legs" and the birds went "hey, we don't have four legs? can we be included please?" and the other animals went "oh my GOD stop making things about you. humans have two legs so you can't possibly be oppressed for having two legs." and also no one is even talking about insects or arachnids.

[the-real-seebs]

this is the most vivid analogy for the experience of being queer on tumblr that i have ever seen

[tally-art-deactivated20201005]

Only the subtlest metaphors on this Tumblr.

[pastel-hutt-deactivated20180115]

This works as a metaphor for children but also it works perfectly well when played totally straight because horse people are actually like this

[rider-waite-blog]

it literally took me three solid readings through this to realize that it wasn’t necessarily about horse people, because they are exactly like this

graffiti discourse is so stupid why the hell would I give a shit if people spraypaint their names or do some cool paintings under a bridge

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

sorry didn't realize the bridge has to be plain beige concrete. that was a load bearing plain beige concrete if anyone tags it the whole bridge collapses

[crazy-pages]

Especially because there's a well proven solution to graffiti. Graffiti artists are, you know, artists. Like actual for real artists. If a local artist paints a wall with something beautiful, they aren't gong to paint over it and wreck it. So if you pay local artists to paint murals on things, they don't get tagged.

And you know that saying, "you get to tell people how to solve their problems to the degree you're willing to help"? It's like that. If you want to have a say in the way humans add their artistic mark to their environments - and they will - you need to fund people adding and maintaining beautiful art that other artists respect. Simple as that.

Because your bridge has a design flaw. There's no art on it. And ever since humans have been blowing crushed berries over their hands to mark cave walls with their handprints, a world without art has been a void we are compelled to fill. If you don't fill it, someone else will.

So I do 3D modeling and printing as a hobby, and a few weeks ago I designed wheel guards meant to prevent office chairs from running over cables and clothes... or your pet's tail.

I got the idea from cowcatchers old locomotives used to have.

Anyways, yesterday I uploaded the model to Thingiverse, and just hours after uploading it, the Community Relationship Manager of the whole website left a comment suggesting I enter the model into a competition that's currently being held on the site.

So I did... and now it's in third place not even a day later. First place is $500, but the competition still has a month to go.

Then the Community Manager contacted me again, telling me they want to feature my model in an upcoming design promotion.

Just, what is happening? I mostly made this thing for myself in, like, an hour, and now it's suddenly super popular? This is all a little bit overwhelming 😵‍💫

Other models I worked on for weeks didn't get nearly as popular. I swear, it's impossible to predict what people will like.

Anyways, if you want to print the wheel guards yourself, you can get the model here or here.

I also made a quiet version you can stick furniture felt pads on.
