Wopfedra's Random Blog

As I like to say "I'm neither". they/el, Len for short, everyone is welcome but this blog is just a random mix of stuff and interests... I'm socially awkward, have ADHD and don't know how to people. Yay [Greetings from Germany]

Neil Gaiman is not a bad writer. He IS a human trafficker and rapist.

JK Rowling is not a bad writer. She IS a dangerous bigot who devotes her substantial resources towards making life unlivable for trans people.

Hans Zimmer is not a bad composer. He IS a man who decided JKR’s actions were not a dealbreaker if it meant money in his pocket.

People on this site have already expounded on the danger of conflating talent and morality.

It is always more important to explain that A) this Artist represents a clear and present danger, abused their platform and money, and must be boycotted to keep others safe than B) this Artist is bad at art

If you’re caught up in spending time trying to convince others of B, you’re wasting time and energy as well as diverting others’ attention from point A.

Or worse! If someone did not find B to be true, they might question the validity of A!

Similarly, “But it’s so good though!” Won’t ever erase the fact of A. Please for the love of God don’t give these fuckers any more money

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

[alagaisia]

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

[alagaisia]

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

[emi--rose]

Hell yeah moon holiday

[hello-delicious-tea]

Ooh coming up we should celebrate

[ariaste]

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

Apparently I came across this post once before because I have Moon Day marked down in my calendar. When I got the notification yesterday I was so confused though, I didn't remember this post at all!

“Do dishes” and “take out trash” both require the use of a spell slot, vs “use phone” is a cantrip, and brother, I am a level one wizard

people will say “they’re only friends” and then show me two people who would crawl through broken glass to hear the other laugh once. two people who have memorized each other’s coffee orders, fears, childhood stories, and emergency contacts. two people who would haunt each other’s houses as ghosts. be serious.

[scribeherself]

Just an FYI—the original intention of this post was to challenge the way people say only friends, as though friendship is somehow lesser than other forms of love. As if being deeply known, cherished, and chosen by another person could ever be a small thing. Normalize profound platonic love. Some of the most fulfilling, transformative, and enduring relationships we will ever have are friendships. 🫶🏼

Every time you go in a public place and something ISN’T disgusting it’s because somebody cleaned it. Every time you feel comfortable using a public bathroom or sitting at a restaurant table or setting something on a gas station counter or playing on a playground it’s because somebody cleaned it.

Thank you to everyone who cleans the world, especially those who are underpaid and under appreciated.

[my-life-is-a-sidequest]

I worked in a supermarket for 7 years and I don't think I can understate just how much cleaning you had to do for it to look clean (it very often where not in the places you aren't supposed to see)

[sandersstudies]

True for food service, retail establishments, gyms, outdoor areas, schools, religious buildings, office buildings, etc. People usually only notice when a space is NOT clean, meanwhile every time a space is clean it’s only because of the diligent work of janitors, maintenance staff, custodians, parks workers, or volunteers.

day 6 / ???

[bakurapika]

this is really interesting in how it frames disability/low spoons/etc as not being a series of internal symptoms, but specifically a situation in which daily tasks increase in complexity. for example i used to be able to wash the dishes normally. but now mental and physical issues combine to make that situation have a lot of prequalifications (do I have time, energy, how long can I do it without being sore the next day) that means many more steps are involved in getting that single physical act of washing a dish to be done.

The best part is OP got fired because their boss asked why they weren’t “incorporating blockchain technology” into the video switcher they were building and OP straight up said “you have no idea what you’re talking about” and went to lunch

Dude... allow me to add to your trove.

Is going to the cinema an hour away on a Sunday evening when I have to be up super early the next day for work for a movie I've already watched once wise? Idk but it's Project Hail Mary and I am forcing a friend with me who hasn't seen it yet so it's all worth it (and the first time I had to watch it in German - but the cinema visit was free at least and I got to experience the masterpiece without literally knowing anything about the movie :D

...still, curse living on the country side, the next cinema doing an OV screening is so far away🥲).

I just googled this and… yes, it’s absolutely real.

And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.

So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.

Thank God someone bothered to check.

I have a wild idea. what if we supported our claims of fact by linking to a reliable source. better yet, what if we went hogwild and just straight up linked to the actual unpaywalled study

Love how the immediate reaction to Ao3 not loading is to run to tumblr to check the trending tags, it's always such a site wide catastrophe that no one can ignore it

Anyway this post is sponsored by the million little gay people in my phone that cry in unison whenever anything mildly concerning happens to ao3. you lot would make great inverse canaries <3

The eye doctor is the most fun doctor you can go to. They never steal your blood. They never make you get naked and put on a paper dress. They're just like, "Can you see these letters? It's fine if you can't, we can fix that." And they don't even spell anything.
