using "what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament" to mean "yeah i made an embarrassing reference but you understood it which is also embarrassing" is very funny to me

my favorite part is that absolutely nobody says this except here. so if you use it in public, it's a dead giveaway that you spent the last ten years on tumblr. but then again, they recognized it, which means they were at the devil's sacrament

At a certain point, the appropriate response to "What were you doing at the devil's sacrament" becomes "stealing shoelaces from the president."

Reblog if you were stealing shoelaces from the President

Well what ELSE were we supposed to do at the devil's sacrament????

New definition of art has just dropped that should satisfy everybody: if it's in an art gallery, it's art. Works currently on display in art galleries? Art. Works not on display in art galleries? Not art. Chairs, carpets, light fittings etc in art galleries? Art. People inside are galleries? Art. Everything outside art galleries? Not art. This is predicted to cause no problems and upset nobody. In a related update everything currently inside a restaurant has been categorised as 'food' so watch out.

so ive been meaning to do this poll for a while because my hypothesis is that seattle is the most Tumblr city, likely in the entire world. tumblr has a huge american majority userbase obviously, but just for comparison going forward, only 0.22% of the american population lives in seattle. as of this reblog, this poll is showing 4% of respondents are seattleites. given, this isnt scientific at all, because my blog just has a lot of seattle connections and seattle followers, but it's still an impressive bias

i think there is a difference between a knowingly flawed character and a thematically uncomfortable character and knowing the difference is half the battle

everyone eat more vegetables NOW!!! and mention the last vegetable you ate in the tags so we're all on the buddy system. I'll start: bok choy

my "too woke" opinion? we cannot be calling people degenerates under any circumstance. i don't care what political side you're on, it doesn't matter. we HAVE to stop using that word

lets out one truly pitiful little whimper & then goes back to doing fucking whatever

sorry to complain about this again bc i know yall follow me for dragon pussy n shit but i actually think you should get rid of shinigami eyes especially if you want to be a good ally to trans women, because people who aren't transmisogynized (and also an annoying number of people who are tbh) are generally real fucking bad at spotting transmisogyny in the wild and i think shinigami eyes might be working as a crutch to prevent you from developing that skill. stop relying on the labor of other people and develop your critical thinking skills. if you want to support trans women so bad you gotta be able to recognize and defend against rhetoric aimed at them

i don't really want to weight in on the "using big words in your writing is ableist" discourse happening on tiktok because i'm like 90% certain it's an anti-intellectual psyop to stir up drama in online circles to promote the use of ai to summarize literally everything and thus feeding the LLMs and lowering the populace's mistrust of such tools but i also have to say: dictionaries and thesauruses are the most accessible they've ever been. if you use an e-reader of any kind you can look up a word without leaving the page. there's a plethora of online dictionaries and if you just type a word + "meaning" into google it'll usually give you a definition. we used to have pocket dictionaries we used when reading in class. i have two on my shelf right now that i used in high school. stop letting the fascists purposefully misuse anti-ableism rhetoric to trick you into never thinking again.

I wasn't expecting this to go anywhere but the keyboard is 8vim! it's not perfect, it notably can't do emojis and obviously typing is gonna be slower than proficient two thumb typing, but for my clumsy self this is largely competing with swipe typing, and I'll always take the speed hit to not deal with autosuggest

this post is awesome because it gets everyone in the world thinking they're the funniest people on the planet into my notifications to be gigantic assholes about the thing I use as an accessibility tool. and yet I can't lock it. because its spreading awareness about an accessibility tool and has already gotten several people to give it a shot and install it. so in unrelated news I think I'm going to start killing people

[Video Description: OP showing how she uses the keyboard on her phone whilst writing the original post. The keyboard is altered so that there is a circle at the centre with four spokes arranged diagonally across the screen originating from the circle. Along the spokes are the letters of the alphabet and various forms of punctuation. OP drags her finger across the keyboard to each individual letter, the path taken lighting up in pink. /End Description]
