Stuff and Things

THANK YOU DON’T MIND IF I DO

You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.

Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?

EVERYONE get in the tags rn and tell me your favorite cheese

you kidnap your son after putting a failed hit on him. it’s the first time you’ve seen him in years. he immediately says your outfit is ugly and calls you fat.

you are taken as a prisoner of war. you send a coded message to your son and beg him to come rescue you. you wait, deathly ill, telling everybody that you know he will come for you. he shows up, and you immediately call him stupid.

"He tried to run over an ICE agent" or any cop really, is just never ever true. It's always the cop putting themselves in front of a car so they have an excuse to murder someone.

In love with this random guy who had a lock slapped on his storage unit for not paying its rental and not only did he ignore management and took his stuff out without paying, but also chose to steal the lock itself and send it to the LockPickingLawyer along with a confession letter

@theoutcastrogue

People always focus on the "lockpicking" part of his name and ignore that the lockpicking lawyer is, indeed, a lawyer, and can tell you exactly which crimes you committed in getting this lock to him

Oh no. I've thought up an idea to add to this fic, so now I have to go back and make sure I allude to it early on, and that nothing contradicts it.

Ugh, I have to rewrite this entire last section to make this work....

I changed all the stuff leading up to the last section, then wrote like one sentence, and have been actively avoiding going back to it since. Why is my muse like this?

Cant risk it.

I don’t believe in fairies but i still don’t stamp around on fairy circles. And i don’t believe in duck-based curses, but i’ll still be damned if I’m going to risk the Creativity Duck’s ire by disrespecting it…

Pro tip: when you see a brand new slang term, your first question should be how that term has been used in AAVE for the past 20-30 years.

If you ever feel like you don’t matter just know there’s a tumblr mutual who thinks about you when they hear a certain band, see a certain color, show, book, or even just see a post that reminds them of something you might like even though they’re across the world from you
