Dr. Nerdington's Commonplace Book

After a crash course in Kids in the Hall, I just successfully got my oldest kid hooked on this! (The full run is free on YouTube btw.) He binged it in two days, I'm so proud. We've now moved on to Made in Canada. His education in 90s Canadian comedy is coming along well.

I don’t think he’d give a shit either way. We could chat about Jane Austen, I suppose.

Liking and disliking is illogical. I hope he'd find me tolerable.

do y’all remember before direct messages tumblr had a dumbass ask limit of 10 per hour and communication was impossible until they introduced dumbass fan mail and we were basically sending telegraphs back in forth trying to communicate those were…dark times

Do y'all remember when they finally gave us direct messages and instead of doing it normally, they gave it to a few people at a time and we had to infect each other with it like a virus

remember when any post with more than like 6 people talking was unreadably smushed except for the last few additions remember when any post of over 500 characters became a link back to op’s blog readmore style remember when video and audio posts had about a 10% chance of working when you click play

As a recent user I love finding out shit like this from older users. What the fuck guys???? Why were you USING IT AT ALL?!??

believe it or not, we liked that more

its worth noting that immediately after these updates that made everything better, we were all angry about it

Some one correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t there a time where if you wanted to give people the ability to comment on your post, you had to end your post with a ?

Holy shit, I forgot about that…

The Man The Myth The Legend

i'd like to believe that the entity will stop attacking ryan and naim bc it seems like when they show it love rather than fear, it stops. even if it's just for a brief moment.

Ooohhhh this is a good take.

God I've been thinking about leviticus nonstop since I saw it and the main thing I just cannot let go of is naim's mom picking the olives off of his pizza !!!!! Like just days ago so sat there while he screamed for her because she hated a part of him and wanted to make it go away. And now she's picking the olives off of his pizza because that is her son and she knows he doesn't like olives and she's his MOM. and those things can and do coexist. that fucked me up more than any of the gore or jump scares. that was the horror for me

It really is a masterclass in “that’s true, too.” She loves him and she profoundly, deliberately harms him. Church offers community and destruction. Queer joy and love coexist with fear and shame. We transcend it and we can’t escape it. So rare to see a film that holds all the contradictions without offering facile resolution, even in horror. It’s so well done.

Leviticus really said yes life will be harder because I choose to be with you but I choose to be with you despite it all

Loved that the film lets love and fear exist together, without easy resolution.

i cant. i love them so bad.
