I respect neopronouns and even played a bit with them myself back in the day but I also think I need a pronunciation guide for some of them
You need to be prepared to answer the question “How do I pronounce that?” when you come up with your pronouns.
I’m not trying to discourage you from coming up with weird pronouns. Be yourself. Confuse the cis and whatnot. But like. Know how your own pronouns are pronounced if you want them used irl. I’ve come across people with neopronouns who had only ever used them online who didn’t have an answer when asked how you pronounce that. Don’t let this be you. Have an answer ready.
This is a good post and these tags are a great addition
“If you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustle” my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.
whenever i hear about hustle culture i always think about this post on r/antiwork

Rapists, and killers, too? Really? (Those on death-row?) The drug/prostitution problems are just a portion of USA criminals.
yes, all criminals. the moment you say “except X criminal” is the moment that people will try to convict their opponents as having committed X crime.
it’s the same thing as what’s going on right now with people equating drag to some sort of child exploitation. “but the children!!” they wail, and people listen because oh, if drag is harming children, then drag MUST be BAD, so we HAVE TO BAN DRAG.
do you understand what i’m saying? you can’t take away the rights of any category of criminal, because suddenly that category will be overflowing with people who totally 100% definitely committed that horrible crime.
Just to look at this from one step further back, let’s accept the premise. Let’s imagine that there is a type of crime that is 1) horrible evil irredeemable universally-agreed-upon bad, and 2) could somehow be prosecuted with 100% accuracy and 0% bias. Yes, even then, those criminals deserve a right to vote.
Do you they’re going to like vote themselves out of jail? Vote to make murder legal? What exactly are you afraid of.
Realistically they’ll just… vote just like anyone else. They’ll help elect city councilmembers they think will better their hometowns, and presidents they think will best serve the country. They might even vote in their own interests! To reform prisons, fund rehabilitation programs, and outlaw predatory practices by telecoms. Are you saying you don’t want any of those things?
And even if there were one of those super-duper-unambiguously-evil totally misanthropic death-row convicts, who’s scheduled to be execute the very next day and just wants to sow chaos and watch the outside world burn however they can… what’s the worst they could do, vote republican?
Taking people’s rights away isn’t bad because it might happen to someone you like, it’s because taking people’s rights away is bad.
reblog if you wear glasses. too many mutuals don’t know they have glasses wearers in their midsts
team glasses

sorry guys im a nerd
I usually tend to wear contacts in school and often when I go outside, but I am currently wearing glasses and have been wearing them since the age of six!
Unpopular opinion but the reason being a teenager sucks is less to do with hormones and social cliques and more to do with the fact adults fucking hate teenagers. The fact that adults expect teenagers to be able to take on adult responsibilities yet don’t deserve rights of an adult. They don’t see teenagers as human beings and they aren’t prepared to see kids with their own formed identities and humanity. Teenagers are so sexualized and seen as needing to take on more and more adult responsibilities. Yet when they want rights and humanity they are denied. The years your brain spends wanting nothing more than to form an identity are being taken away from you. Teenagers are essentially being kicked out of social spaces unless they have an extra 40 dollars lying around anytime they want to go out. Teenagers being kicked out of the mall just for existing or groomed into the school to prison pipeline. And now creating legislation to keep them off the Internet. Our society hates teenagers. And does everything we can to hurt them. The fact that anyone makes it out of their teenage years without trauma is a fucking miracle frankly.
they need to make a new kind of hrt that makes you cum more. like three pints at least. i’m talking about some hypercock futanari hentai level shit. it doesn’t even need to be virile, i just need more volume.
I gotta say, I really enjoy that hellsite genetics gimmick blog. It’s a good capstone to Tumblrs specific brand of half-serious nonsense rants.
A problem with a lot of lesser gimmick blogs is that they end up forming these massive chains of 2/10 RP blogs that don’t really add anything but clutter in the notes. But the genetics gimmick has a sense of finality. You can’t add any more after that. It would change the genetic code. If you add something, it’s a different organism.
I enjoy seeing some impassioned screed about how Yoshi isn’t gay, only to see it capped off with the assertion that this post –genetically– is a Western Ground Finch. There’s a sense of individuality there. It’s as of the post is receiving some sort of spirit vessel. That post IS The Western Ground Finch. forever and always.

She (a great golden digger wasp, sphex ichneumoneus) was trying to dig a hole for her offspring, but the blades of dead grass were getting in her way. So while trying to grip and tear them out, she was buzzing and huffing which made it look as if she was having a tantrum. Pretty funny and cute. Turn up your volume to hear her squeak!
just thinking about the “something special for someone special” item from tf2 which is a $100 virtual wedding ring that many people bought just because when you send it to someone it broadcasts a message to everyone currently playing tf2
thinking about how such an item would only work in tf2 and only because valve made the very good decision of having it broadcast a message to everyone currently playing tf2 and allowing renames of both the sender and recipient as well as the item so for $100 people broadcasted shit like
thinking about how there will never truly be something like this in gaming ever again
YES THERE’S A FONT ITS CALLED CHINESE ROCKS AND ONCE YOU KNOW IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO NOT SEE IT IN EVERYTHING
We all know its the RDR/2 logo:
but hey, you know those guys who make Hades? Transistor? Bastion? Lets take a look at their log- oh.
Okay well.. have you guys ever played Tee K.O. on Jackbox? Surely it can’t be the- oh my god
OKAY WELL MAYBE I’LL JUST GO TRY TO FIND A FUN INDIE GAME TO PLAY AND HEY LOOK AT THE R IN THE LOGO HERE IS THAT-
THAT’S RIGHT.
ITS
FUCKING
CHINESE ROCKS
the R is always the giveaway. its everywhere. i am cursing you all with this knowledge. regular viewers of my stream will remember how many times i’ve yelled out OH ITS CHINESE ROCKS!!!
Found this one that checks all the boxes on r/boomerhumor.
Wow
Weirdest experience I ever had with this is with a customer at work.
It’s not an uncommon occurrence for men in their 40s and 50s to refer to their wives as “old bags”, so whenever I do the whole “Would you like a bag” spiel, there’s a 50/50 chance they will point to their wife and say “No thanks I have one right here” or say “Nah I left her at home” Or something else awful and then wink at me and call me darling or sweetheart and just make me want to be smited by god right in that second.
However there was one customer that came in and did this whole song and dance. Not out of the ordinary. What was, however, was how he then followed it up by going “I’m kidding, I’m divorced ha ha.” Then, his face drops and he turns to his friend with a look of absolute horror and goes “Wait, that’s probably why. Do you think that’s why she left me Andy? Because I said things like that?” And then proceeded to look like he was re-evaluating his whole life as his friend led him out of the store.
TL; DR = Boomers are weird and this one was given a glimpse behind the veil of self awareness in a Tesco Extra
So I was writing a small paper in Microsoft Word and the program suddenly crashed (I saved a couple minutes before, thank god) and I get this message in the corner of my screen two seconds afterward
“if you’re working a full time job you should be able to afford to live on your own and have access to food and transportation” gonna be real with you brother. everyone deserves this. Not just people working 40 hrs a week
people inherently deserve to have a roof over their heads and to eat and live comfortably. not tied to whatever work they do or do not do. Shocking, i know
The secret Dungeon Meshi sauce that’s getting people to eat better is that it’s so non-judgmental. Senshi and the rest of the gang never talk about what not to eat besides things that taste bad and literal poison. They don’t even talk about “health” that much besides the importance of a balanced diet. It’s so much easier to eat well when you think of food simply as something your body needs, and that it’s often worth the extra effort to make it taste good, especially when you understand how to connect “things your body needs” with “things that taste good”
what is it that makes siblings so good at insulting your fashion?
one time my brother looked at me and said “Hold on. I need to cook up an insult about your outfit.” and after two and a half minutes of silence said “You’ve got the perfect cammo to sneak through a grandmother’s house undetected” and he was fucking right
Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.
I have been waiting for this post all my life.
They are indeed purple, But one thing you’ve missed: The concept of “purple” Didn’t always exist.
Some cultures lack names For a color, you see. Hence good old Homer And his “wine-dark sea.”
A usage so quaint, A phrasing so old, For verses of romance Is sheer fucking gold.
So roses are red. Violets once were called blue. I’m hugely pedantic But what else is new?
My friend you’re not wrong
About Homer’s wine-ey sea!
Colours are a matter
Of cultural contingency;
Words are in flux
And meanings they drift
But the word purple
You’ve given short shrift.
The concept of purple,
My friends, is old
And refers to a pigment
once precious as gold.
By crushing up molluscs
From the wine-dark sea
You make a dye:
Imperial decree
Meant that in Rome,
to wear purpura was a privilege reserved
For only the emperor!
The word ‘purple’,
for clothes so fancy,
Entered English
By the ninth century
.
Why then are voilets
Not purple in song?
The dye from this mollusc,
known for so long
Is almost magenta;
More red than blue.
The concept of purple
is old, and yet new.
The dye is red,
So this might be true:
Roses are purple
And violets are blue
.
While this song makes me merry, Tyrian purple dyes many a hue From magenta to berry And a true purple too.
But fun as it is to watch this poetic race The answer is staring you right in the face: Roses are red and violets are blue Because nothing fucking rhymes with purple.

Being in any fandom is like this when you curate your dash
Naive shipper’s first post causes them to be immediately devoured by three separate discourse blogs which then proceed to devour each other. The resulting carcasses are picked clean by trolls in seconds; within a minute, the only sign anything of note occurred is a neatly arranged pile of bones with the word “deactivated” inscribed on each skull.
