happy autism awareness day to all the girls who had “ friends” growing up who were actually bullying them . to the girls who always sat alone in the grass and wondered why nobody wanted to talk . to the girls who spoke to animals like they were listening . to the girls who created a little world in their room . to the girls who always felt ashamed for how deeply they love things and how passionately they enjoyed media . to the girls who covered their ears when they were overwhelmed by everything . to the girls who carrying a special thing around to feel safe . to the girls who never understood what they did wrong to feel so lonely . to the girls who were diagnosed later in life because they weren’t little boys who liked trains. you are so special and beautiful and you’re not worse for it, you love deeply and that is so wonderful please never try to push that down . I LOVE YOU !!!!!

"I wish you were as accurate, & as much to be relied on, as I am myself"

What an absolute queen

Tumblr is collectively doing this thing where we’re an old woman in the village minding our business and making our soup but the new gentrified neighbors want to come over and see if we’re interested in starting a Home Owner’s Association and so now we gotta pretend to be a crazy old lady who does devil sacraments and maybe will come to stand in front of their house at night and stare in their windows if they talk to us.

Once again, Tumblr manages to succeed via just being honest with their users.

I made a post back around April fool's about the crabs being so popular because the joke was that every other website tries to trick you into clicking things so they can make money from your clicks and what if instead a website just asked "please click this revenue generating crab. It is there to generate revenue. In return you will have clicked on a crab. Nothing more." And the answer to that question was "people will frantically click on that crab. They don't hate the idea of the website getting money, they hate the idea of being profited on against their will".

So Tumblr implemented actual revenue crabs. "For this much money you can fill your or someone else's dash with virtual crabs. This will have the effect of there being crabs on their screen."

And people will buy those crabs. Because yes you're spending money on something stupid and useless but it's being sold to you as "hey you want something stupid and useless?", which is a nice change of pace from every other site trying to make itself out to be something more than what it is.

Twitter is floundering with the checkmark system because it's being sold as "confirm that you are someone important and who you say you are is true", which it isn't at all right now because anyone can buy one. You're buying a useless checkmark that only says that YOU think you're important. Or, more often than not right now, you are intending to trick other people into thinking you're someone you're not.

Meanwhile, Tumblr just said "Consider this double check mark. It does nothing. You will be marking yourself as someone who paid money for a meaningless checkmark and sometimes it will randomly turn into a bunch of crabs, making the site harder to use". And the userbase is like "Well sure, that sounds delightful."

The point is, despite what all the marketing and advertising people have tried to say, painting trash gold and trying to pass it off as something better is almost never as effective as just saying "hey you want this trash?"

Why yes, in fact, I do.

Last night was the worst mass shooting in US history. We are taking the morning to reflect and will resume #GISHWHESTakesTumblr around 11AM PDT.

See you soon.

In the meantime, we’re changing our avatar in memory of the victims. If you would like to change your avatar as well you may save this image and upload.

me: Do you guys wanna hear a pathetic joke?

me: *tries to sing a C#*

[winchesterswiffy]

Being an Alto

In chorus: Yeah, I guess I have a pretty wide range. I usually sing alto, but I've been put on the tenor part and I /could/ sing the soprano part but they never need me because there are like, 30 girls already singing soprano.

In theatre: Ugh, my range SUUUUUCKS!!!! There are NO songs for me; every song written for a girl is too high for me to belt, and every song written for a guy is juuuuust low enough to be completely unsingable. Fuck being an alto, fuck singing, FUCK! EVERYTHING!

Singers’ Jokes

How do you know there’s a soprano at the door? She can’t find her key and she doesn’t know where to come in!

[patheticearings]

How Many....

How many Altos does it take to screw in a lightbulb? -none, they cant get that high How many sopranos does it take to screw in a lightbulb? -none, they’ll just hold it high and wait for the world to revolve around them. How many choir members does it take to screw in a lightbulb? -2, one to actually do it and a soprano to stand there and say, “isn’t that a little high for you?”

[theskeletonsinmyclosetsing-deac]

These songs always start out just fine Not a high note to be heard You think that you’re gonna sound good But trust me, this is just the verse.. You’ve got the power behind low notes most girls can’t Pull off so well, heavens know they try… But don’t get over-confident You know how damn Disney songs wind up They open low and finish high Oh god, it’s getting high Oh wait, it’s okay The piano plays away I can use my soft Head voice for this part I don’t sound as bad as I thought Let the song roll on… My range never bothered me anyway It’s funny how I’m thinking It surely ain’t that hard And though I used to be self-conscious It’s not the case anymore! It’s time to see what I can do No limitations, let’s hope this doesn’t fall through It’s clearly not impossible Screw it! Here I go, an alto Tryna sing these notes so high But although I didn’t know Shit, why did I give this a try? Fuck, I’m back in this crappy head voice! Please can I stop now? Oh no, it’s come to the bridge, that can’t be good news It’s getting about as high as I can go, dear god, whose Idea was it to even let me attempt this? I’m straining so damn hard, I’m fucked from here on out! Fuck this shit, so done with it These are notes I just can’t hit Before my throat goes dry My voice will crack and then I’ll cry I can’t do this Disney bullshit Fuck you all, I quit! My range never bothered me anyway.

So this has been floating around in my head for a while...

‘Under the C’ - the alto’s lament (tune from the little mermaid)

The life of an alto isn’t As much fun as it could be A metaphorical prison Of single note harmony Just think of the parts around you While they’re singing licks and trills Such cool harmony surrounds you And your part is still stock still

Under the C Under the C Tone is much clearer When we are nearer To bottom G Don’t complain if we fall asleep Singing that A for 20 beats Alto’s are dying Still no one’s writing Under the C
