FUCK TUMBLR LIVE
So let me get this right. I can block and report porn accounts that follow & DM me, but I can't fucking BLOCK AND REPORT THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT THAT SHOWS UP ON MY DASH EVERY FUCKING WEEK? I have to manually "snooze" this shit once a week and in the meantime I'm assaulted with tumblr live nudity on my dash that I DO NOT WANT.
The fun thing about Tim & Steph is that out of the two of them you’d expect Tim to be the awkward one & Steph to breeze through social interaction but in reality Tim is the one who knows how to easily make friends in both is hero & civilian identities & Steph is the one who acts like this:
Seeing a cop in public: uneasy, on edge, prepared for the worst, hyper vigilant
Smelling weed in public: relaxed, joyful, safe and secure, among friends, at ease and smile
Someone else come fuck that guy for me
soon may the wellerman come, your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
fuck everyone who has ever tried to make me feel guilty about the amount of sugar in FRUIT
tumblr live is creeping in so heres a thing to paste into ur ublock filter to make it fuck off
||tumblr-live.com www.tumblr.com##.ADlDx www.tumblr.com##div.KTRcB:nth-of-type(3)
this worked for me, assuming you have the uBlock browser extension installed (you might as well it’s a super duper Ad Blocker and site blocker -- I used it to get rid of Tw*tter Embeds which started being an immense source of page lag due to tw*tter's ongoing death spiral):
- I went into “Manage Extensions”
- then scrolled down to uBlock
- then clicked its “Options” button
- then went to “My Filters” tab
- then just pasted those lines in:
and now I don’t see the Tumbler / Creepy-Privacy-Invasion-Policy-Streaming-Company team-up promotional pictures at the top of my tumblr-dot-com page, or the "Live" icon at the top string of icons section on the left :D
just discoverd i can block people i find annoying
when u get out of the mindest blocking is only saved for “Bad People” and you can block perfectly fine ppl you just know theyre a little annoying to you, your experience enhances
so fucking true. hitting that block button on people who annoy me like a medieval king ordering his guards to slay the jester for being unfunny
Good morning Tumblrs I'm mixing it up for this one and we are going VERTEBRATE. As an experiment this time I'm giving slightly more explanation so I'll stick the etymology notes at the end let's go let's go
Okay, so in order:
Madyn. From the Irish madaidh, but became a given name - Welsh does sometimes give actual NAMES to animals
Cadno. It literally means 'battle-knowing' but it's also a woman's given name, so same again
Bele Coch. Bele is slightly tricksy to translate and do justice, but it's Latin derived ('feles') and can be applied to either cats or mustelids or anything else that can slink and be agile. Bele'r coed is pine marten, for example. Here it's a red slinky creature
Siôn blewyn coch. Sort of a joke name, from a song
Llwynog. Llwyn can mean grove, and foxes are naturally forest creatures, but in the interests of completion I should mention that it can also mean bush (and is traditionally used in Welsh poetry to refer to women's pubic hair). So it might be describing the tail.
Siân slei bach. The feminine of Siôn blewyn coch, used for a vixen. I believe from the same place.
Canddo. Not the only word to be corrupted like this in Welsh. My favourite example is Cardiff, actually - originally Caerdyf, meaning fortress on the Taff. But over time it's become Caerdydd - fortress of the day
***
So! One of these is fake! I am lying through my teeth about one of these! BUT WHICH ONE?
So far this experiment shows that if I fully explain the etymology as best I can, there's no sweep. Extremely close results across the board this time. This is very interesting to me, because I really thought one of the jokey song ones was going to get hammered, but it's a very even spread.
Fascinating (*makes notes on Tumblr users*)
Anonymous asked:
Hi! Your polls have enticed me to learn Welsh so I can be less wrong on your polls! Could you possibly explain why bore da, prynhawn da and nos da all have one d but noswaith dda needs two?
I am UTTERLY delighted to hear my silly ridiculous nonsense has done actual appreciable good in this world. Incredible.
And yes, I can! Like a lot of languages, Welsh has gendered words; feminine words trigger the dreaded soft mutation, whereby the first letter of the next word mutates to a 'softer' equivalent. So c becomes g, p becomes b, and a bunch of others.
In this case, bore prynhawn and nos are all masculine, so the d following stays as it is. But noswaith is feminine, so it changes the d into a dd.
However, don't stress too much about getting the mutations right. Over practice, you learn them instinctively in the end anyway. Getting one wrong does feel wrong to a Welsh speaker, but in almost every case it's still understandable, and all it does is signal that you're a learner. And we love learners.
Welcome aboard!
An open letter to every single fanfic author ever,
I want you to know that YOU are so talented for coming up with these incredible concepts and putting them into words and having the confidence to share it with others online. It takes so much work to create a piece of writing worth sharing. From the planning to the perspectives to the descriptions and the grammatical analytics, the creative liberties and choices you make and, typing it up, editing and rewording and deleting and changing, the mental toll of feeling like giving up when you’re near the end and the perseverance it takes to push through. Whether you’re used to getting 2 notes or 2000, your work is worth infinite amounts of recognition. Sometimes it’s easy to feel unmotivated (I get that more than anyone) but remember I can guarantee that your talent is rare and special and unique and has definitely made someone out there smile, laugh, cry, evoke some kind of emotion. And that’s not an easy skill to harbour. You’re a superstar. 🌟 Keep going. Keep doing what you’re best at. Don’t let anyone criticise you. You are so infinitely appreciated by me and thousands of others, even if you don’t realise it.
Lots of love from another fellow fanfic author. 🩵
