scheduling this now so we'll see if it happens in ~2-3 years time

people joke about how tumblr users lack reading comprehension skills but I don't think that's right. I don't think the problem is generally people misunderstanding what they read, even though that does happen. I think there's a much more significant problem where people just don't read posts. a substantial portion of tumblr users just look at keywords and guess what the post says even if it's a post they're engaging with. and I now have a much more alarming upper bound estimate for how often this can happen which is kinda stressing me out

To be frank, do you think the people who dont read posts will read bios?

almost certainly not but it's like a DNI where it's more to reassure the target audience that they're in the right place than it is for actually getting anyone to not interact with the blog

"incurious" still GOAT insult. You could be better but you're not. You could learn but you won't, and for no good reason, just a base dispositional apathy. Get fucked

i need all the help i can get for finals

I could use some luck

I absolutely blame Facebook for this shift. Words cannot describe how freaking WEIRD it was in the mid-00s when there was suddenly this popular website where you were required to use your real, brickspace name and encouraged to post photos of yourself. Every single bit of Standard Internet Safety prior to then said that you should never ever ever do either of those.

Okay it's almost 2pm so my daily Hockeyshow musings morning must come to an end

it's just occurred to me that hockeyshow is probably about ice hockey, since that's default hockey in your part of the world
