My Pain Is Easing

@mrtobenamedlater

Shout out to "enunciate" for being one of those words that forces you to do itself.

There's lots of problems with USA public education but also a lot of you were just drawing Naruto characters kissing while your history teacher tried to tell you about the Scramble for Africa

They should make an anime about major history events actually. That way people could still ship the characters and be forced into accidentally learning things

the way tumblr users work I have no idea if the "shut up shut up shut up" is because it's a tone-deaf reply or because you know what Hetalia is and what it did to tumblr back in the day

The phrase "They don't want it perfect, they want it Friday" does wonders for my productivity.

Actually I've decided this is a poem

my pronouns are I/me/my. dont talk about me without talking about yourself. I am you

i really fuck with it when my oomfs start their posts in media res. they'll open it with a phrase like "it's just funny because..." and then i look at their blog to see what's funny and. nothing.

It's like how Beowulf opens with a call to attention.

posting is exactly like beowulf

there's this weird thing people fall into online a lot, where people assume that if the [perceived-to-be-inferior] version of [activity] is discouraged then people will, naturally, do [perceived-to-be-superior] version of [activity] instead. When really it's just as (or more) likely that if [perceived-to-be-inferior] version of [activity] is discouraged people just won't do it at all.

audiobook listeners are not necessarily people who would otherwise do a lot of traditional reading if audiobooks did not exist, many are people who simply would experience zero books. Booktok romance readers would not necessarily be reading the classics if booktok did not exist, many of them would simply not read. Fanfiction writers would not necessarily be novelists if fanfic wasn't an option, many would just be people who didn't write. You know?

If you were really my friend you’d do this highly unethical experimental surgery on me
