i beat myself up for not knowing enough about my special interests a lot but then i remember the average person off the street has no idea what the carboniferous is and i feel better
If you want to automate your home a bit, but you don't want any "smart" tech, you can just buy remote controlled power sockets instead
They are a lot cheaper and easier to set up and use than some home automation smart tech nonsense
They don't need an app (but some models come with optional apps and there are apps that are compatible with most of these)
Many of them use the 433mhz frequency to communicate, which makes most models compatible with each other, even if they are from different manufacturers
The tech has been around for a long time and will be around for a long time to come
You don't have to put any fucking corporate listening devices like an amazon echo in your home
Cannot express enough my love for these. My entire apartment is on five circuits, controlled by two duplicate remotes. I can turn off the living room lights from my bed, if I forget, without getting up. And no apps needing so nothing to hack or spy on you.
I miss when ads were a single click and then they’re gone. Now every ad has a minimum of three phases where you watch a video, exit the still frame of fake gameplay, and then exit the app download. That doesn’t even touch on the ones that forcibly take you to another app after opening a tab in safari without you ever touching the screen.
I hate advertising. I hate that you can’t do anything without companies jumping down your throat with mostly bullshit ads. I hate that billboards exist. I hate that every company unanimously decided to make their ads longer and longer. I hate that ad blockers try to charge you money and there are in app purchases to remove ads. I hate that my attention has become commodified. I hate that there’s nothing I can do about it.
You can make a movie with where the only white character is a man named Ray Cism whose one line of his 16 seconds of screen time is “I seriously hate women and minorities.” and you’ll find fifty bajillion reader x Ray Cism fanfics and renaissance style drawings of him with a halo of golden light
i'm helping out at a creative writing workshop for uhhh i think 10-12s? 10-14s? idk. but that age range. and anyways
a) i forgot how fun this is
b) it's really hard not to like, re-write for them and stick to just "hey add descriptions here, change this grammar, really cool ideas!" bc i'm an adult and not trying to talk over/railroad these kids, but i'm just so excited for their ideas!!!
c) little boys write cool stuff like "what if we went to mars but it sucked so we left, but left behind all our technology and the technology rose up and created its own society and then went to war with us for abandoning them? what if transformers had 100x the war crimes? what if the earth blew up. what if we were the robots all along?"
d) little girls out here writing like "aunt melanie's skin was sloughing off the bones as her beloved dogs tore her apart, turning on her in blind animal instinct. the second she stopped providing food, she became food." and a lot of body horror and dark themes about group pacts and betrayals and ritualistic murder/sacrifices. like a lot
me, turning to the teacher who is also doing this: hey so, i'm personally really cool with the tone and direction these girls take, but is any of this? how you say... a red flag?
teacher: little girls have really rich inner lives to combat the way they're puppeted by society in real life. they'll learn to censor it out in a couple years, but it doesn't go away.
me, who was also a weird little girl who phased in and out of weirdness depending on social settings: nice.
Romantic Gestures That 2012 TMNT Leonardo Would Do
Pairing: 2012 TMNT Leonardo x reader
Fanfiction Masterlist
2012 & 2014/2016 TMNT Characters & The Romantic Gestures That They Do
Multi Fandom: Romantic Gestures That They Do
Leonardo is a disciplined, honorable leader who often takes himself too seriously, but has a soft spot for cheesy sci-fi and a deep-seated desire to be a "perfect hero". His romantic side is a mix of traditional gentlemanly behavior and dorky, fanboy enthusiasm.
The "Protective Patrol": Leo will "happen" to adjust his nightly patrol route to pass by your apartment just to make sure everything is quiet. If you're out late, he’s watching from the shadows until you're safely inside.
Healing Hands: Having been trained in medicine and Ninjutsu by Splinter, Leo is the first to notice if you’re tired or injured. He will insist on checking your pulse or tending to a minor scrape with an intensity that is both sweet and a little overkill.
Sparring Dates: For Leo, trust is built through combat. He’ll offer to teach you self-defense, using it as an excuse to be close and "guide" your form. He’s incredibly patient and thrives on seeing you get stronger.
Quote Comparisons: Leo will unironically compare your relationship to his favorite romantic subplots from Space Heroes. Expect him to say things like, "Our bond is stronger than a Neutrino pulse."
Cheesy Gifts: Since he didn't grow up with money, Leo values handmade items. He might make you a "survival kit" for your bag or find a "rare" piece of tech (with Donnie's help) that he thinks you'll find cool.
Secret Screenings: Leo invite you to the lair for a "tactical briefing" that turns out to be a private marathon of his favorite show (that being Space Heroes ofc), complete with his own enthusiastic commentary.
The "Forehead Lean": When Leo's stressed from leading his brothers, he’ll just lean his forehead against yours and close his eyes for a second. It’s his way of "recharging" his spirit.
The Mask Adjustment: Leo gets flustered easily. If you compliment him, he’ll subconsciously reach up to adjust his blue mask or fiddle with his katana hilts to hide that he's blushing.
Quiet Devotion: Leo is the type to write down your favorite things in a small notebook so he never forgets. He takes "being a partner" as seriously as "being a leader".
really i think the most insidious part of white supremacy is the way it will convince white people everything is actually About Them. being called out isn’t about you. poc expressing frustration at your behaviour isn’t about you. it’s about how you are affecting others. step one is literally just de-centre yourself from the conversation. anyone who’s not white has already had to learn this lesson the hard way and it gets tiring waiting for the rest of you to catch up
got told at lunch "you feel like Tumblr Incarnate" and i had to tell them i've been here for 13 years and counting. i was here three years before dashcon happened. i saw the mishapocalypse. i survived the gigapause. i've been here longer than the shoelaces post. i've been here since it was hipsters versus fandom and i played both sides extensively by overdoing the sepia filters on everything and making my own flashing galaxy gif edits for my fandom posts. i'm every tumblr. it's all in me
99% of callout posts are bullshit and just petty personal drama someone is escalating to get even on a grudge. do not engage with these, do not freelance as a cop
DNIs do not work. accept this. internalize that people you don't like will see your posts and engage with them. this is unavoidable and the sooner you make peace with it the freer your mind will be. block the freaks and don't sweat the small stuff
building a tight knit circle of fellow weirdos who vibe with your particular quirks and taste is infinitely more rewarding and sustainable than chasing the biggest numbers
don't respond to bad-faith arguments or bad takes; just block people, blacklist tags, filter post content, and move on. don't feed the trolls (or the bigots)
don't hate-follow
don't tag your hate (ex. if you're posting about how much you hate a ship, don't tag it as that ship, etc.)
don't feel obligated to keep following someone who posts stuff that upsets/depresses/angers/bores you just because you know them really well, or because you're mutuals, or because you used to like what they post. following is nothing personal and neither is unfollowing
op doesn't know you; avoid parasocial relationships
don't pick fights or reblog posts just to disagree/argue
