FAQ (and Deer FAQ)

I just followed you, so why am I not following you anymore? For personal reasons I Do Not Want more followers and I softblock about 99% of new people who follow, especially folks I don't somehow know. It's not personal, except in the sense that this is my personal social media page and I have every right to be choosy about that. Also right now people keep following because of the deer.

(Literally anything about the deer) I am fucking cursed with the ability to tell normal stories in a funny way it turns out. Some of yall have literally never seen a deer, huh? Everything Hot Cheeto Hatred did was normal. She was just a NEAT ANIMAL. I happened to only run into her during the times of day and year when she was PROTECTING A BABY. I never saw her fawns, but her behavior lined up in every way with a doe being protective. Please for the love of fuck, stop being racist and/or violent on that post. Holy shit. I deleted the original for a reason.

(But about the deer--) I LEFT THE COUNTRY. I LIVE THREE THOUSAND MILES AWAY NOW. I CANNOT UPDATE YOU ON THE DEER.

I actually came here about another one of your popular posts-- Item 1 remains true while discounting items 2-3. It's still nothing personal but I will still probably block you.

Who is Mrs. Cake? It's a reference to the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett, which you should read! Everyone should read them. But not starting with the first one.

Didn't you make a podcast like five years ago? Yes :) (EDIT: I am currently moving the show's website to a new host/trying to get the money together for hosting so that link is not working but you can find the show on most podcast apps/sites as Midnight Radio)

back in olden times theyd crank out a few good monster movies & then make 47 movies about the monsters sons & daughters & grocery trips etc and john carradine would be in them and then theyd arrange playdates for all the monsters to hang out and fight each other and then once they were done fighting each other theyd start sending them to chase comedians around

[moveslikekeithrichards]

back in olden times if you were gonna make a scary movie it had to be about a frankenstein or a big ant or something, and then the 70s came and they started making scary movies about whatever the fuck, and if you wanted to return to the Monsters From Olden Times Hanging Out And Fighting shit in the 70s you could still get lon chaney jr for it but you had to make dracula look like frank zappa

things said by my dad that sound like plot hooks for a network tv show with six seasons: “When I wrote for [newspaper], no one wanted to get the desk closest to the editor’s office, because he’d give you all the weird stories.”

I've never seen my own "that one short story you read as a kid that has haunted you ever since" in any of the posts or polls, but that kind of makes sense to me because

1. it was from a collection of Arthur C Clarke short stories with the text re-written to be readable by younger children/ESL learners, and the inclusion of that second category is maybe important because I think the person who gave it to me saw the "learning to read" bit and assumed it was only for kids because

2. the story was "The Nine Billion Names of God."

I was also That One Kid who scored at a collegiate reading level in third grade, and I think I read it at about. seven-ish years old. secretly staying up past my bedtime reading with my blanket over my head and my face jammed up next to my nightlight. and that's how the concept of eschatology entered my life!

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

I don't suppose anyone in this bar has any wild bird rescue/rehabbing experience and can offer advice? another animal has Happened to us

[theradioghost]

crow fledgling with injured legs who was stuck by the door of local grocery store has been delivered into the hands of optimistic wildlife rehab professionals. he was energetic, alert, and insistently hungry after his night with us, and the resident former-state-park-worker-who-helped-with-some-birds got plenty of water into him, so I’m hopeful providing his injuries aren’t too bad that we’ve given him the chance he needs. good luck, little guy.

yall ever just out of nowhere have blorbothoughts™ of a character for the first time in years. like i'm having a nice drink and getting ready to go to the next room to do something and my brain just goes fucking goddamn, seivarden vendaai sure Went Through It, huh

as much as I mourn the presence of aesthetic blogs on tumblr, it was absolutely true that the vast majority of posts were images taken without credit or permission. so it doesn't surprise me at all that now, almost any kind of post with a minimal caption, maybe even linked and "credited", is ai.

I think it'd be worth reminding people to be diligent, to prioritize sharing images/videos you KNOW for a fact that the OP created. art, photography, cat videos, memes, etc. honestly, even if you DO know the art was created by a real person, you don't know if that artist was ok with it being shared on a website they don't have an account on

for those wanting to find images that are free to use AND credited, i cannot recommend ccsearch enough!

i used it a lot when i was really into digital collage, it's a portal to different search engines allowing you to find works under the creative commons license easily :D
