one thing you need to know about 2014. is that what does the fox say was playing pretty much everywhere you went. and everybody was just relieved it wasn't blurred lines
I canot stress enough that those were the only 2 songs in 2014

new uterine lining just dropped
how do you pronounce the honourific "Ms." in english
"miss"
"miz"
other
unsure/see results
really good "shocking number of people are confidently objectively demonstrably completely wrong" poll
i am losing my fucking mind
#we dont use honorifics in my first language so whenever i have to select options (usually for flights) im always so confused#like what is actually the difference between miss and ms#i like miss bc it sounds more historical and im a historian so
"Miss" means an unmarried woman. "Mrs." means a married woman. (both of these have origins in the word "mistress" as in "mistress of the house".)
"Ms." - prounounced MIZ, btw - is a third option popularized by gloria steinem in the 70s - mainly through her feminist magazine Ms. - which is meant to be a neutral term, usable for any and all women regardless of marital status (hence the soul destroying irony of the tags above). it gained wider general acceptance when geraldine ferraro, the first woman to be nominated as VP on a national major party ticket, started using it widely to avoid confusion, since she was married but used her maiden name professionally. eventually over the years it came into common use though i do think the brits are a little more critical of it than americans (as far as i'm aware lol)
"obscure facts only a tumblr user would know" and it's one of the most influential institutions of second wave american feminism. PLEASE open the schools
Hi. I'm an unmarried woman in her forties. I use Ms. and pronounce it "miz", though I don't correct people who accidentally use a soft S. I use Ms. because it's no one's business but my own whether I'm married, to a man or anyone else, and that's what Ms. means. It means fuck off, my marital status is irrelevant, just as it is for every man who uses Mr.
I've had people (usually children) ask me at work if I'm a missus or a miss. I have replied that I am a miz, full stop. And when they pressed for which one I was REALLY, I have replied, "Why? Are you going to treat me differently depending on whether there's a ring somewhere?"
That's what Ms. is for. That is its linguistic function. It says, "This is an adult woman," and nothing else. Nothing else is necessary, and in my case, nothing else is desired.
I also use miz for other women unless and until they express a preference for something else because I don't magically know everyone else's marital status when I meet them. That's a courtesy—I'm declining to assume marital status and allowing them to decide whether they wish to declare it.
Also, I've taught English and worked as an editor for twenty years. I am quite literally the grammar police. This use of Ms. is a standard construction. If you didn't learn it in school, someone failed you.
yep, pretty much
Hanukkah story #8! This is the long one, so I saved it for last!
This particular story came from an amazing genetics paper that I saw linked on Tumblr many many years ago, where a fangirl came up with a plausible explanation for the mechanisms of wizarding inheritance, and my brain immediately grabbed onto this and ran with it, only it stopped running a short way from the end and got stuck until Lim helped me work it out of the mire!

At least there’s one thing I can count on in this crazy mixed up world
oh there he is
The funniest line in wild mountain thyme or possibly any folk flirting song is “if my true love she were gone/I would surely find another” like bitch you’re replaceable. Are you coming to my bower or not

Imagine all the things I could do if I just did them.

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.
Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.
So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.
Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.
oh shit
As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.
Y'all know what to do Tumblr.
Me, giving a eulogy: "He's gone where the emails will never find him. Where subscription fees will not weary him, nor discourse condemn."
This is the foundation of all hope btw. In the words of Tolkien, 'despair is for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.'
I want to add something to the Two Cakes idea.
The two cakes never have the same flavor. Like even if the impeccably decorated multi-tier masterpiece over there tastes incredible, my little loaf cake has a unique flavor and my flavor is going to be exactly what some people want.
Your story is unique because it’s YOURS and it has YOUR ideas and YOU put the words in the order you did.
Holy shit! Two cakes! And they each taste unique!
This 3 year old post just got reblogged out of nowhere and I would like to give it a 2026 update:
People who use AI to write stories are not making their own flavored cake. They are taking stolen scraps from thousands of other cakes and mashing them up to make something that looks vaguely cake-like and tastes as bad as a thousand cakes mashed together would taste.
Make the cake that tastes like you.
