kids are not inherently annoying oh my goddddd. i have been witnessing an uptick in this behavior IRL and online, but especially IRL? it’s disturbing to me. kids playing is not inherently annoying. kids laughing is not inherently annoying. kids making mistakes is not inherently annoying. kids not knowing things is not inherently annoying. kids needing help is not inherently annoying. kids crying is not inherently annoying. kids stimming is not inherently annoying. kids being overstimulated is not inherently annoying. kids needing to use the restroom is not inherently annoying. kids getting sick is not inherently annoying. kids being hungry, thirsty, or needing the bathroom is not inherently annoying.

kids are not inherently an inconvenience. kids do not have to be completely still and dead silent in order to be around adults or in public. if you feel as though kids having basic needs or being happy in your vicinity is annoying, you really need to reassess why, because that is not a healthy mentality to be trapped in because it ends up hurting both you and the child. kids don’t deserve to be made miserable because you view them as a wholesale inconvenience. they will pick up on the fact that you view that way. kids aren’t as stupid as you think they are- they’re learning, and they learn fast.

thank you to the folks who pointed this out in the reblogs:

children ARE allowed to be annoying sometimes, whether or not you like it. children are learning, and they will make mistakes, sing too loud, chew with their mouths open, grab things too hard, pull on hair, and do things that are inconveniencing at times. kids are allowed to do this. annoyance does not need to beget violence and cruelty. even if a child annoys you, that doesn’t mean they deserve to be punished, abused, or miserable. even if a child is mean to you, they don’t deserve to be treated like shit for it. we have to give children permission to make mistakes so that they can learn.

we have forgotten how to deal with being annoyed as a culture. annoying shit happens all the time. the person in their 40s who looks like they should clearly be able to use their debit card that they guaranteed use multiple times a day who keeps putting their pin in then hitting “cancel” on the keypad at the grocery store is really fucking annoying, but do they deserve to be screamed at? no. adults can be just as if not MORE stupid and annoying than children. and yet we don’t encourage people to scream at other adults and make them feel embarrassed for existing. adults piss me off and annoy me all the goddamn time. i let them do it because i don’t have the right to be rude as fuck to them because they did something that temporarily inconvenienced me.

you being temporarily inconvenienced does not give you a pass to be cruel to anyone. children are going to inconvenience you at times. you have to learn how to deal with inconveniences and annoyance. sometimes you will be uncomfortable and there’s nothing you can do about it. sometimes you will be annoyed or embarrassed and there’s nothing you can do about it. taking it out on someone else won’t make you feel less embarrassed. learn how to cope with transient emotions, especially when they’re “negative”.

Not for everyone but I personally started feeling less annoyed by children once I started asking “am I annoyed by this trait in them, or is it something I’m ashamed of in myself?”

One of the ballsiest things Tolkien ever did was write 473k words about some hobbits called frodo, sam, merry, and pippin and then write in the appendices that their names are actually maura, ban, kali, and razal. 

This just in: Eowyn and Eomer’s names actually start with the letter “L.” [source for other nerds] 

#wait so they have hobbitish names and common names?

No, they have Westron names and English names.

What you’ve got to understand is that everything Tolkien wrote was him pretending to merely translate ancient documents. He was writing as if the Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were actually been written by Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam (or Bilba, Maura, and Ban) and he was just some random contemporary academic translating it all into English for us. 

There are many languages in his books, but generally speaking, everything written in English in the books is a translation of the language “Westron.” Therefore any names that come from Westron, he translated. Names coming from other languages, like Sindarin, he left as they were. Why? IDK. Maybe because the stories are from a hobbit perspective and hobbits speak Westron, so he wanted the Westron parts to sound familiar and the other languages/names to remain foreign? 

“But Mirkwoodest!” you cry, “The word ‘hobbit’ isn’t an English word! And the names Bilbo Baggins, Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Peregrin Took, and Meriadoc Brandybuck” all sounds super weird and not like English at all!”

Psych! They are in English! (Or Old English, German, or Norse.) Once again you underestimate what a nerd Tolkien was. Let me break it down: 

In Westron, hobbits are actually called “kuduk,” which means “hole-dweller,” so for an English translation, Tolkien called them “hobbits” which is a modernization of the Old English word “holbytla” which comes from “Hol” (hole) and “Bytla”(builder). 

“Maura” is a Westron name which means “Wise.” Weirdly enough, “Frodo” is an actual Proto-Germanic name that actual people used to have and it means the same thing. 

“Banazîr” is Westron for “half-wise, or simple.” In Proto Germanic, the prefix “Sam” means half, and wise is obviously a word we still use. 

“Razanur” means “Traveler” or “Stranger” which is also the meaning of the word “Peregrin(e)” This one is a twofer because  “Razar” means “a small red apple” and in English so does “Pippin.”

“Kalimac” apparently is a meaningless name in Westron, but the shortened form “Kali” means “happy,” so Jirt decided his nickname would be “Merry” and chose the really obscure ancient Celtic name “Meriodoc” to match. 

Jirt chose to leave “Bilba” almost exactly the same in English, but he changed the ending to an “O” because in Westron names ending in “a” are masculine. 

I’m not going to go on and talk about the last names but those all have special meanings too (except Tûk, which is too iconic to change more than the spelling of, apparently). 

The Rohirrim were also Westron speakers first and foremost, so their names are also “translations” into Old English and Proto-Germanic words, i.e. “Eowyn”  is a combination of “Eoh” (horse) and “Wynn” (joy/bliss). 

“Rohirrim/Rohan” are Sindarin words, but in the books, they call themselves the “Éothéod” which is an Old English/Norse combo that means “horse people.” Tolkien tells us in the “Peoples of Middle Earth” that the actual Westron for “Éothéod” is Lohtûr, which means that Eowyn and Eomer’s names, which come from the same root word, must also start with the letter L. 

The names of all the elves, dwarves, Dunedain, and men from Gondor are not English translations, since they come from root words other than Westron. 

The takeaway from this is that when a guy whose first real job was researching the history and etymology of words of Germanic origin beginning with the letter “W” writes a book, you can expect this kind of tomfoolery.

Notes: Sorry I said “Razal” instead of “Razar” in my original post I’m a fraud.

Tolkien was the most extra son of a bitch my goodness

This is why C.S. Lewis wanted to punch Tolkien in the face sometimes. 

In the great hierarchy of nerds, Tolkien remains at the very top.

No one can top Tolkien.

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

Have you had Nazi propaganda blazed onto your dashboard? Me too.

Its no secret that Tumblr doesn’t give a damn about its user base. It’s been made abundantly clear to me that not only do they not care. Tumblr is allowing posts with direct links to nazi propaganda and chatroom sites to be blazed!

ALT

The only reason I found this post? Because Tumblr put it in front of my face on my dashboard.

In the notes of this post there were dozens of reblogs with things like “is this an ARG?” “Oh whats this, save for later”. One comment that said “tempting”.

This is a neo nazi trying to recruit you.

Report this immediately. Do not click links. Email support@tumblr.com telling them that you don’t want neo nazis paying them to show us this garbage.

If you want to know how I figured out what this was in more detail, I’ll put it under a read more so that everyone can be a little safer and a little smarter out there.

so once me and my wife were watching a documentary where a snake ate like a million eggs. that snake just went to fucking town on eggs. and the snake made the eggs look so good that i kept thinking about it, and thinking about it, and thinking about it, and eventually it was 11pm and i ran out of willpower and decided to eat one (1) singular raw egg just to prove to myself that the snake was surely a liar.

the snake was not a liar. texture is like, super important to me and raw eggs are very Texture so i had another one, and then another one, and then another one, and eventually i ran out of eggs.

i had like, fifteen raw eggs.

i didnt really know how to explain this momentary madness to my wife, so my Plan was to put all the eggshells into a grocey bag, and then throw that grocery bag in the dumpster, and if she never noticed that would be Excellent and if she noticed immediately i could lie and say that the eggs went bad.

except i cant lie very good, and of course with murphys law being such, i got salmonella.

so i threw up a lot and my wife asked me what poisoned me so and i tried very hard to dodge the question but i was oozing shame like oil from a room temperature cheese and eventaully i gave in and told her everything and to her enormous credit she was more flabbergasted than actually upset. she did make me promise to not eat any more raw eggs, which i have stuck to, and she gives me weird looks during nature documentaries now as if desire was the only thing keeping me from eating thousands of pounds of krill

anyway i made a joke earlier about being able to eat my age in eggs and my sister in law in law made a drawing to comemorate the moment and also because it was my birthday. she’s excellent. thank you 10000000% @cintailed. you should all visit her page and admire her work.

daily reminder that i am a person with poor impulse control and not a demon piloting a skinsuit to punish the damned before they die. i cannot eat eggshells. sorry to dissapoint.

Something about the idea that voting for president only matters if you live in a swing state, and that all the people in blue states or red states can indulge themselves in principled nonparticipation because the outcomes are preordained, strikes me as akin to playing with fire.

Is it really coherent to say “both sides are awful, write in Mickey Mouse or burn your ballot or just stay home and get drunk, unless you live in Pennsylvania, in which case maybe consider taking one for the team and compromising yourself by voting for the lesser evil?” Is that really the message that will lead to a preferable outcome?

What it sounds like to me is a sign that 1) you take your local electorate for granted, and 2) you see avoiding the worst case scenario as somebody else’s problem.

I remember when Florida was a swing state. I also remember when Pennsylvania wasn’t.

literally the last election fucking Georgia became a swing state because people showed the fuck up and voted.

also like all the downticket races are FUCKING IMPORTANT
