不负此生，不负相遇 @xiezhizuo - Tumblr Blog

if you don't know how to end a written work you should be able to just let the words fade out like an 80s song and not resolve anything for the reader

The last 5 pages should just be in progressively lighter text until it’s no longer legible at all

annoys me that tumblr has a 'suggest content label' button but not a 'un-suggest content label' button. we should be able to collectively make tumblr take a second look at their stupid filtering decisions.

"Because I said so" straight up isn't as good an answer as you think it is.

All computer safety ever for the past 30 odd years: "if you go on the internet — especially if you're under 18 — lie about everything. Lie about your name. Lie about your age. Give as little information away about yourself as you possibly can. Obfuscate, falsify, and omit anything and everything as otherwise They Will Get Your Ass. Actually, avoid it in the first place if you can altogether."

All computer safety(?) since like 2020: "it's imperative we make every 8 year old scan a passport before letting them use their LeapFrog™️. Always-on connectivity required."

Babysitting a toddler is a lot like being the narration in a point-and-click adventure game. Watching him knock on the doors of empty rooms and saying "hmm. I don't think anyone's in there". Watching him attempt to use [spoon] on [cat] and saying "I don't think those things go together". Watching him throw a cup of water onto the floor and just commenting "the floor is wet now" when he looks up at me to see if I approve.
