Random Moments

Life is full of special moments, these may or may not be it. The good with the bad, the funny with the sad; That is what this is about.

what you learn from hobbies:

consistent practice opens up whole worlds of skill that you couldn't imagine

making mistakes in the process of learning is not only natural, it is also essential

activities that you enjoy can give you more energy back than you spent on them

wow everything is so expensive

You will often cry but you will continue and it will end up being amazing, A hot mess, an improvement, or the worst mistake ever but at least you tried and that's all that matters!

Six years of lost memories, six years later...

The World of Wait and Hope will be leaving Ao3 on 2/20/26, six years after I began posting it on a complete whim. Never could I have imagined what a journey W&H and I would go on together, and I could not be more grateful to every person who has read and loved this story over the course of the last six years.

This may be the end of one era, but it's the beginning of another, and I'm incredibly proud of how this story has evolved into a new form and so excited for its traditional publishing journey. If you're interested in reading along, Once, Again, Always is available to preorder here, and I'm posting updates about the publishing process on instagram as @amandagaylewrites.

What life has taught me is that happiness was not a state of being, but an emotion that occurres in increments of time. I was truly happy for minutes, hours, maybe a day or so here and there. What life should be was a state of contentment - a state everyone had to work achieve because there was always something better out there - interrupted by peaks and valleys.

Honestly, this was so inspirational.

What doesn’t kill you gives you a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms and a really dark sense of humor.

Graduating high school only to be told you need a degree, so then you attend college & graduate, only to be told you need experience before being hired is the real world equivalent of “Thank you Mario! …but our princess is in another castle.”

Netflix’s new site is a giant “f*ck you” to Comcast and Time Warner

Netflix launched a site late Wednesday night called Fast.com, where — in one click — anyone browsing the internet can see how fast their internet speed is. Although it’s great for consumers, some internet providers might not be happy about the new website.

Fuck Comcast

[paradoxanomalyenigma]

Netflix didn’t invent that it’s been around

[vaspider]

Netflix didn’t invent speed checks, but this site is Netflix’s.

[queerlyexhausted]

Okay, so here’s why Netflix speedtest is so brilliant. 

Most of us know about Speedtest.net, right? Well Comcast and Time Warner know about it too. They know customers use it to check to see if they’re getting what they are paying for. Comcast techs even tell customers to check their speed with Speedtest.net. 

So, to make sure people think they are getting good speeds, Comcast and Time Warner prioritize traffic going to Speedtest.net. When you check your speed there it’s artificially inflated. That is NOT the speed you are getting when you browse tumblr and that is definitely not the speed you get when you watch Netflix. 

Comcast and Time Warner can not artificially inflate the results by prioritizing traffic to Fast.net unless they also prioritize traffic to Netflix, and they definitely do not want to do that.

That is so fucking slimy. Good for Netflix
