unhappy side effect of "morally ambiguous" being treated as the pinnacle of writing is that you will often be made to experience what a not so talented writer with big aspirations thinks is morally ambiguous

has anybody else noticed that the classic sci fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus features a Torment Nexus? that’s pretty problematic of the author

Having someone ask ChatGPT in a meeting is like being a grown-ass professional adult in a room full of other grown-ass professional adults trying to solve a problem, while a colleague with one of those baby toys that makes animal sounds repeatedly presses the cow button. And we all have to stop what we're doing and listen to cow go moo and say "wow hm yeah that's not really what we're asking but the cow does definitely go moo, good thoughts"

WHEN A GOOD MAN CRIES by CMAT 2025, dir. Eilís Doherty

ive invented (note: dubious claim) something i call the bear diet which is mostly fruits and vegetables with fish as the main protein source and something like once a month you eat a few hyperprocessed foods of your liking because that is when you, the bear, raid a dumpster in the suburbs

[stellarskyes]

after the hyperprocessed foods, do you take tranquilizers to simulate getting captured by animal control and returned to the wild?

[agnesmontague]

i would settle for melatonin gummies but well. knock yourself out

For all its faults Tumblr has truly ruined all other social media for me because my friends all have Instagram and are all trying to get me on Instagram more but every time I open Instagram there are like fifteen things screaming for my attention and when I get over myself long enough to start scrolling it's like. Where is my chronological dash. Where is the following-only option. Who are these people. Why are there so many videos. Everyone is screaming at me. And then before I know it I'm thirty minutes into scrolling and I haven't seen a single thing that I actually care about. At least on Tumblr when I see stuff I don't care about I know someone I follow has found a new interest.

This comment was left on a post about making the most of the Libby app. "Excessive use of generous lending policies" is the most absurd phrase I've ever seen anyone use to discuss libraries.

80s misogyny saved the Star Wars galaxy because Darth Vader wasted all his time and effort trying to convince his starry-eyed gayboy empath son to become an evil space fascist when if anyone had any point asked his daughter “hey do you ever just want to KILL these people” she would’ve been shooing lightning out of her hands to prove a point in like 10 minutes

In a completely unexpected development I've started writing song lyrics and they're maybe kind of good? (My husband and his musician friends are into it, but they may just be encouraging me so I keep going.) But more importantly they're organizing and documenting these amorphous indescribable ideas I have. And this weird unknowable sense I've had for years is suddenly a bunch of words that I can share and be kind of understood. And now it's like. Oh. I can write a bad song but if it has my idea inside of it I'm happy. I'm fucking thirty and this is brand new (I don't think I've ever had the perspective to try this before).

the nsfw ban on Tumblr is temporarily lifted every time you scroll your for you tab at work

Ohh so that's why they called that one show Andor

tbh i love hear me outs but i also love the opposite of hear me outs where it’s like nearly everyone thinks they’re fuckable except you

every day it's "I've been putting these tasks off for a week, they'll only take a few hours apiece, time to knock them out" and every day I remember just how long "a few hours" actually is

[caesarsaladinn]

if I just work at maximum speed and accuracy for 12-16 uninterrupted hours I'll get it done by tomorrow like I promised

I’m reading a gothic horror novel and the author put a note that was essentially a TW at the beginning that basically said “yes, this book contains depictions of problematic sexist and ableist behavior. That is because I’m writing in a book is set in the 1800s.” YEAH EXACTLY.

[sandersstudies]

One really fun thing about modern gothic horror set in the past is that there are bits of horror that the modern audience sees that a protagonist cannot. A dirty cut put into the mouth prior to germ theory, a transfusion set in an era before blood typing, use of therapies that in the modern world we know harm a patient, etc.
