For 50 hours from June 1st to June 3rd 2026, scientists and science support staff from across the US will share their work and answer your q
Check it out, it's so much fun! Lots of the active people in the chat are from tumblr :)
everything is truly so terrible but i just remembered doreen ketchens playing clarinet for her infant grandson and then i was kind of okay again for 36 seconds
I have to reblog this when it comes back around.
ok i am curious. how long is the longest song in your library (not counting tracks that are like several songs in one file like a full album mix or symphony recording or whatever) (also if it is longer than 20 minutes say the name in the tags i am curious)
how long
< 3:00
3:00–3:59
4:00–4:59
5:00–5:59
6:00–6:59
7:00–7:59
8:00–11:59
12:00–15:59
16:00–20:59
21:00–24:59
25:00–30:00
≥ 30:00
ok i would like to clarify it has to be music and it can't just be a short song that's been looped a bunch. that still counts as several songs in one file, it's just several of the same song in one file. no audiobooks no podcasts no plants vs zombies theme 2 hour loop

how do you pronounce the honourific "Ms." in english
"miss"
"miz"
other
unsure/see results
really good "shocking number of people are confidently objectively demonstrably completely wrong" poll
i am losing my fucking mind
#we dont use honorifics in my first language so whenever i have to select options (usually for flights) im always so confused#like what is actually the difference between miss and ms#i like miss bc it sounds more historical and im a historian so
"Miss" means an unmarried woman. "Mrs." means a married woman. (both of these have origins in the word "mistress" as in "mistress of the house".)
"Ms." - prounounced MIZ, btw - is a third option popularized by gloria steinem in the 70s - mainly through her feminist magazine Ms. - which is meant to be a neutral term, usable for any and all women regardless of marital status (hence the soul destroying irony of the tags above). it gained wider general acceptance when geraldine ferraro, the first woman to be nominated as VP on a national major party ticket, started using it widely to avoid confusion, since she was married but used her maiden name professionally. eventually over the years it came into common use though i do think the brits are a little more critical of it than americans (as far as i'm aware lol)
"obscure facts only a tumblr user would know" and it's one of the most influential institutions of second wave american feminism. PLEASE open the schools
Hi. I'm an unmarried woman in her forties. I use Ms. and pronounce it "miz", though I don't correct people who accidentally use a soft S. I use Ms. because it's no one's business but my own whether I'm married, to a man or anyone else, and that's what Ms. means. It means fuck off, my marital status is irrelevant, just as it is for every man who uses Mr.
I've had people (usually children) ask me at work if I'm a missus or a miss. I have replied that I am a miz, full stop. And when they pressed for which one I was REALLY, I have replied, "Why? Are you going to treat me differently depending on whether there's a ring somewhere?"
That's what Ms. is for. That is its linguistic function. It says, "This is an adult woman," and nothing else. Nothing else is necessary, and in my case, nothing else is desired.
I also use miz for other women unless and until they express a preference for something else because I don't magically know everyone else's marital status when I meet them. That's a courtesy—I'm declining to assume marital status and allowing them to decide whether they wish to declare it.
Also, I've taught English and worked as an editor for twenty years. I am quite literally the grammar police. This use of Ms. is a standard construction. If you didn't learn it in school, someone failed you.
“Obscure facts” Boo boo I was taught it in elementary school. One with a state standardized curriculum.
Ms. is marriage-neutral and it’s pronounced Miz. It is deliberately different from Miss.
I was born in the 70s to a mom who was actively feminist and she ALWAYS pronounced it miz. (she organized a very early Women in the Law conference in the late 70s. It was a Big Deal to her.) Ms. magazine was named that because of the separation of identity from marriage. Until I came out as nonbinary, I never used anything but Ms. from my teens through my 40s. And then promptly switched to Mx, which has a similar function, being both gender and marriage neutral. Literally never in my life has anyone referred to me as Mrs. anything as far as I can remember, and I always corrected Miss. (I am married but did not take my husband's name.)
I got a comment the other day on one of my fics that wasn't bad in any way - they were complimenting me on the description of the environment the character was in - but they were only saying this because they usually zone out during descriptive paragraphs, they find them too difficult to pay attention to.
I'm a fan of really immersing myself and the characters in the world I'm writing about. So, I'll describe it! I'm nothing like Dickens, that's over the top, but I like to set the scene and then have the characters interact with that scene so a reader can get a proper image of it in their head. I've been complimented on it many times! But I'm worried now, because it's fic, that I'm doing too much. Fic tends to trend towards minimal description/thoughts/feelings, more script like stuff these days, and I know attention spans are somewhat not great too.
So it got me wondering if I'm being too descriptive and it's boring people, or whether this is just an issue people have and I don't need to tweak the way I write?
Chiming in, if you don't mind: I don't think this is a sign you should change anything!
As a fic reader, my patience for (and inversely my appreciation of) immersive descriptions will change with my mood. Sometimes I love lots of description, sometimes I'm bored by it, and that emotional response doesn't really align with any specific fandom, canon vs AU, ship, or even fic author's skill - it's just "am I in the mood for this?"

Pspspsps, do you like stickers? Cause I got some cute stickers in my shop 👀
They say that spring starts with snowdrops. Here where I live, the weather is too tropical to enjoy these pretty flowers, all I can do is admire them by drawing them. Small note: At my patreon (AneaCC) there's a wallpaper with this design, if your interested <3
