microsoft teams is such a hater app. imagine if there was an app for texting but the only people on it were your coworkers. oh also btw the app will show when you’re afk for more than like 2 minutes so you’ll always have anxiety about your coworkers judging you for taking a bathroom break for too long or getting distracted by something else! also the emojis feel like they’re all mocking you specifically and the notification sounds go off LOUD AS FUCK and are pavlvovian-conditioned to give you a panic attack. fuck you

AND THE EMOJIS MOVE you think you have chosen a safe bland emoji that communicates a general professional positive vibe and then you send it and the FACE CONTORTS into something embarrassing!

the way sesame street, a pbs puppet show for literal babies, is pressing on with pride content despite vitriolic monsters descending on every post to insinuate they're pedophiles or demons while some of the biggest companies on the planet who could swim in olympic swimming pools of money like scrooge mcduck on steroids buckle and cave just emphasizes how completely and utterly pathetic these corporations are. they'd butcher a baby if it meant saving a penny.

Sesame Workshop has been doing pride stuff since 2017. The Muppet Wiki has a nice list of stuff they've done:

LGBT culture

LGBT culture describes the social paradigm by which lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) individuals sometimes identify. C

Jim Henson supported his openly queer colleagues in the 1970s! The Muppet performer Richard Hunt was majorly influential on Sesame Street, the Muppet Show, and Fraggle Rock.

They also dumped Chick-fil-A in 2012 when CFA made their stance on gay marriage known.

It would be a dishonor to their memories for the Jim Henson Company to kowtow to queerphobic demands when their namesake always stood for diversity and acceptance of everyone, and it makes me proud to be a Muppet fan to see that insisted upon 💖🌈

#they seduced me with their crotchety ways#have all the world weary agitation of a 65 year old at the ripe age of 20#mizu started saying i’m too old for this shit at age 15#you can’t kick me out of your dojo yet you didn’t feed me#that would be rude young man#walking around complaining about kids these days#at like….18#blue eye samurai

Tumblr decides that this town is too different from home, even if everyone they loved was transported to this world too, they wouldn’t be in this village. They head towards the loudest part of town: the marketplace.

Tumblr pushes it’s way through the cacophony of merchants and patrons. It appeared this town was mainly farmers, as most stands were selling fruits and vegetables. There was also a butcher selling smoked meats, and a few local craftsmen, and a couple of traveling salesmen dealing unknown wares and trinkets.

A sudden realization washes over the Userbase. They dig in their pockets a moment, and pull out their wallet. Inside was $13 USD, their driver’s license and, an assortment of plastic cards. This would buy them nothing.

“Stop that thief!”

Suddenly a shout pierces the noise of the market. Tumblr looks and sees a figure caped in black fleeing into an alleyway. With nothing really to lose, they pursue.

It wasn’t an easy chase, in such an unfamiliar town, but Tumblr was quick enough on their feet to caught up to and cornered the thief in the religious center of town.

How do they confront the thief?

Lawful Good: return the money to the shopkeeper

Neutral Good: talk to the person about why they stole the money.

Chaotic good: Take the money and donate it all to the religious organization.

Lawful Neutral: agree to take the money back, but you owe the thief a favor

True neutral: forget about the money, what’s up with this church?

Chaotic neutral: let the thief keep the stolen money but they owe you a favor

Lawful Evil: beat up the thief and return the money.

Neutral evil: Agree to split the money.

Chaotic evil: beat up the thief and take all the money for yourself

True evil: Kill the thief

A comic about a dream I had about a snake

This has been blowing up for the past week for some reason and I am reading the very specific anecdotes people are tagging this with and I would like to state, for the record, that this was 100% a stress dream brought about by someone close to me not getting the vaccine

I awoke aching, throat stung, a shadow of the wild night I dreamt.

I shrug away lasting shivers from the forgotten coat of the girl who slept.

Lately I’ve been thinking. Art isn’t about the creator at all. It’s about the audience. I will never be able to do to myself what Opetaia Foa'i, Rachel House, and Auli'i Cravalho do to me when I listen to Song of the Ancestors.

They said, “the people you love will change you, the things you have learned will guide you, and nothing on earth can silence: that quiet voice still inside you.” They said “do you know who you are?” They said “I am a girl who loves her island, I am a girl who loves the sea, it calls me.” They said “I have delivered us to where we are. I have journeyed farther. I am everything I’ve learned and more, still it calls me.” They said “I know the way.”

The way those words resonate with me is art. It’s like they’ve described a fundamental and irremovable, irreplaceable piece of me. Without me feeling those words, what’s the point of them?

The people I love will change me. That’s the whole point of being alive, isn’t it? That’s what I’m worth. I want to change the people I love for the better. And I want them to do the same for me. Being alive is for them. It’s for finding people to love, finding people who love you, and living for their love. That’s who I am.

So when I write, it isn’t for me. It’s for the people I love. I really believe that everything is about love. And I hope one day I can share that with the world in a way that makes sense. And I hope it keeps feeling this real.

The iron hand of Götz von Berlichingen (1480-1562), a knight and mercenary who lost his right arm in a siege [640×360]

[brunhiddensmusings]

points about this -it was shot off by a cannon -he continued being a knight for over 40 years after getting the iron hand -it was delicate enough he could still write with a quill using it, which is important as he was described as a ‘warrior poet’ -after a merchant-punching life suitable for an elder scrolls protagonist he was outlawed by the holy roman empire, friends of his used a high diplomacy roll and a bribe to get him out, and he then almost immediately kidnapped a bishop -after outlaw of the holy roman empire 2 electric boogaloo was placed under house arrest in a castle he had purchased with all his quest rewards to spend the next 20 years drunk off his ass

I can’t believe you’d make this post and not mention that his poetry contains the first known usage of the phrase “lick my ass”

[corvid-shmorvid]

!!! “Leck mich im Arsch” (“Lick my ass”) Is attributed to him and is also known as the Swabian Greeting!

so this is my side blog. I made it totally separately from my main account using a whole different email because someone I knew irl when I was 15 used my email address to find and follow my main. I’ve been using incognito mode to log into this account. and somehow now I’m scrolling through the dash of my main account. but I can only post to this sideblog. Like here’s what I’m seeing rn when I hit the down arrow on which blog to post to:

this currently-accepting-cuddles or whatever url that is is not my main. it’s some other random sideblog I made. for all intents and purposes, safely-scarred is my main when I log in using this email address. and yet I’ve just demonstrated that two different tumblr accounts can be active in the same tab. 

@support​ you gotta see how that’s kinda an issue. is this an oauth bug?

I’m beginning to realize that it’s all my fault.

When I was sixteen, I could blame my parents. They didn’t raise me right. They didn’t want me to do the things I liked. They didn’t understand me. But now I’m almost twenty, and I can already see that they are as lost as I am.

I missed having sleepovers with my best friend for fear of catching gayness. I missed sneaking out at night for fear of bruises at school the next morning. I missed high school parties for fear of losing the A I’d been working for all year.

(inevitably, I lost the A anyways).

But after my first year of college, there was nobody left to blame but myself. I could have lived differently, but I didn’t. I keep letting myself down. It’s the pathology of my personality, that I am my own worst enemy, and deep down I know that I will never be happy for longer than a few minutes at a time.

It makes me so angry, but never angry enough to change. I am still seeking comfort instead of chasing adventure. But adventure is what I have always wanted. I don’t know how to have fun like I’m supposed to, but I do know that time is running out and it is already almost too late.

I’m almost not a teenager anymore, and the time that I have left has been stolen.
