Caitie. Late 20s. She/her/hers. Interests include classics, leftist theory, queer characters, witchcraft, science, cults, and niche fandom drama. Juggling hyperfixations. Prone to rants and rambles. If I follow you it’s probably because I thought your url was funny. Queue is untagged and only occasionally empty. PSA: —idol inspo— is a tag for a dystopian novel concept I’m working on. Which is why there’s weird and horrible stuff with that tag on it.
Obies, irl friends, and mutuals encouraged to say hey.

Do y’all think siblings in medieval times would look at the little beasts in illuminated manuscripts and point at each other like ‘ha! ‘Tis thou!’

Oh my GOD

eye-opening tumblr post for me included the words "people are meant to be burdens" as in humans rely on and support one another and it's not a bother it's our purpose; to love and be loved in return. so if you ever think you're being annoying just remember we were made to love and it's going to be okay

the r/curatedtumblr -> tumblr migration is so funny to me. it's like going to the zoo and enjoying it so much you climb into the enclosure to live with the monkeys

this reply evokes such an incredible image in the mind’s eye

what blackout?

A lot of subreddits have privated in protest with Reddit API changes which would make Third-Party apps basically impossible to run and many bots unable to do bot things.

The confrontation between Reddit’s corporate management and its users and developers marks a turning point for the platform as it reportedly looks to go public later this year
[..] Critics of Reddit say the platform’s steep fees will kill off all third-party competition against Reddit’s proprietary app, which many users have derided as slow, buggy and inferior. They also fear the moves will decimate a volunteer community that relies on third-party tools to do the critical work of moderating Reddit forums — responsibility Reddit delegates to users of the site rather than to its own paid employees or to contractors, unlike some other large social networks.
[..] To a degree unlike Instagram or YouTube, Reddit owes its rise to the volunteer work of many of its users who bore the costs of developing features that the company did not see fit to invest in. In that respect, Reddit more closely resembles Wikipedia, the crowd-sourced digital encyclopedia whose volunteer editors are viewed as a vital resource.
Now, though, many users feel betrayed.
“If they’re going to start charging for API calls, [moderators] should start charging reddit for their time keeping the website functioning,” one user wrote. “This site ONLY functions on the backs of free labor from mods.”
Some have vowed to stop using Reddit, and others have suggested they may even scrub their entire account so that the company cannot monetize their historical activity.
“For a large number of Apollos users, it’s existence is the only reason we’re still using the platform,” another user wrote. “I’ve been here 15+ years, but have no intention of sticking around once Apollo goes dark.”

“The average US president has been charged with 1.56 felonies” factoid isn’t true. The average US President has been charged with 0 felonies. Donald trump, who has been charged with 72, is a statistical outlier and should not have been counted

The fact that you made this mathematically accurate made my tummy warm

This is my new answer whenever I’m asked why one should either (a) drop the outlier or (b) focus on the outlier to figure out WTF is going on there….

With a small correction - so far, 71 felonies to Trump (34 NY State felonies, 37 Federal) 1.54 felonies per presidential capita.

Mr president we have reason to suspect their is a masquito in the oval office

Reading guide

  • "Mr president" = me
  • "The oval office" = my room
  • "Their", "masquito" = errors for comedic effect
