to me, correctly using 5+ commas in a single sentence is like perfectly executing a combo in a fighting game. to me.

if you think a sentence needs 5+ commas it should be two sentences

it’s not about what the sentence needs, i’m afraid, nor is it about economy, clarity, or style. it’s about winning, little-theatre-fairy.

Give me less "being kind requires zero effort" and more "being kind is worth the effort it takes."

people passing around the tyra banks modelland song genuinely really, really, really need to look up the contents of that book. yall have to believe me when I tell you that nothing in this world could prepare you for what is in that book

there's no plot summary that could even begin to scratch the surface of what the book Modelland by Tyra Banks is. Like I'm being so serious calling it a "YA dystopian book by Tyra Banks" just does not even begin to kind of cover what is in it. Like I could literally only describe it as "baffling and hallucinatory outsider art"

if you're not of the video-watching persuasion, crow caller also posts all of their reviews in a text format on their blog. i also extremely recommend watching and/or reading the review because really, truly, there are no words for how fucking weird this book is

There are lizard people in this book who are consumed with an incessant lust for the organs of people with albinism. It barely matters to the story but they’re there.

Is it bad that I feel slightly bad that I keep coming to the library to use its quietness and its desk space and its pleasant atmosphere for writing but I never check out books?

Why would you feel bad? You’re using the library for one of its intended purposes. The desks, WiFi, space etc are LITERALLY there for you to do exactly what you’re doing AND each time you go in you add to the foot traffic numbers that prove hey people are coming in to use our stuff mr. government so keep funding us.

We literally have a door counter at my library. Congratulations, you just added to our statistics.

every so often i remember that most people probably dont know what i refer to when i mention my friend, the floating buffalo shaman who has no religion.

GLaDOS voice: "Would you like to see some artwork I generated? I've heard from other test subjects that AI-generated artwork produces an uncanny valley response in human viewers because they can't perceive it as fully real. They've told me that it looks absolutely hideous to them, that they can't imagine anything more disgusting than AI art. But, well I've been practicing and wanted your honest opinion. Feel free to let me know how ugly you find this by ranking it on a scale from 'vomit-inducing' to 'eye-bleeding'." A robotic arm lowers from the ceiling holding a hand mirror up to Chell's face

Let’s fucking go

And it couldn't have happened to a more deserving bunch of absolute rat bastards.

Kinda glad that Great Mouse Detective is obscure, I might actually kms if Disney did ANYTHING to my precious mouse boy.

@rosecorcoranwrites

I would specifically kms by self-immolating in the Disney CGI studios as a protest.
