complete those punctuations!!

100% NOT A JUDGEMENT OF PUNCTUATION/GRAMMAR!! JUST COUNTING THEM!! • only judging on simple punctuation (period, question mark, exclamation point, comma, colon, semicolon, en dash, em dash, hyphen, bullet, left bracket, right bracket, left brace, right brace, left parenthesis, right parenthesis, apostrophe, quotation mark, ellipsis, slash, lesser than/greater than symbol) since it's easier :∆ also there's a bonus round also you get extra for some other things. so not really only judging on simple punctuation only now but hey, that's how it goes. also i cannot post about this as it's happening, but stand with palestine! 🇵🇸 if i don't answer your ask i'm probably trying to think of a good way to answer so... sorryyy. if something gets spaced weird, that's tumblr's formatting not me

writing tip #3986:

use my new punctuation mark! it's called the 'half stop'! (it's not a comma) (stop saying it's a comma) (i know where you live)

Something I've gathered, is that almost everyone seems to think they only have a "necessary" number of shoes; however, everyone has a DRASTICALLY different idea of what that is.

For purposes of this post, I'm defining "shoe" as "footwear you'd wear outside the house", and "actually used" as "something you've worn within the past month, and/or that you expect to wear again within a year".

Reblog with how many pairs of shoes you have that are actually used, and what they are.

For me, it's a pair of steel-toed shoes that are what I normally wear when I have to wear shoes; sandals; running shoes; and winter boots. So, four pairs. (Plus there's the old worn-out stuff that I just keep in the closet because I'm allergic to throwing things away if it's still vaguely functional, but that's why I specified "actually used".)

One thing I really like about how we use the affordances of tumblr is how reblogging yourself is used to break textposts up. It's not just a novel form of punctuation, it's effectively borrowing a structural trick from comics.

to me, correctly using 5+ commas in a single sentence is like perfectly executing a combo in a fighting game. to me.

[little-theatre-fairy]

if you think a sentence needs 5+ commas it should be two sentences

[hardwrench]

it’s not about what the sentence needs, i’m afraid, nor is it about economy, clarity, or style. it’s about winning, little-theatre-fairy.

Holy shit who taught this bird to sing opera

[dracuwulaura-deactivated2025121]

video description: a small bird stood on wooden flooring, singing the iconic high staccato bit from the queen of the night aria. he doesn't perfectly hit all the notes but still does a pretty good job. there is a human hand shaking a container full of cotton buds next to the bird for some reason.

a house is a species of domesticated cave; a haunting happens when a house, without consistent human interaction, untames itself and grows feral. though cases of haunted houses may be redomesticated through reinforcement training, if a nondomesticated house instigates the death of its bonded humans, it must be put down (see Section 14, lines 33-53 of the Tsara'at Agreement).
