l'Heure du Thé

I'm fascinated by how the formatting of different social media sites affect how text is read.

For instance, a line break on Tumblr indicates a new idea.

But a reblog break indicates that time has passed.

really funny that every website is in an arms race to make itself as bad as possible and immediately someone makes a firefox extension to fix it

reject modernity

embrace monki

the way tumblr is trying to distance itself from being a blogging platform is fucking. infuriating!!

like do you not know this is your strength!!! I want to be able to visit other people’s pages that have been CUSTOM MADE for their purpose!!! ARTISTS HAVE LINKS AND TAGS FOR THEIR ART!!!  COMMUNITIES AND HELP/TUTORIAL BLOGS HAVE TAGS FOR SPECIFIC QUIERIES!!! WRITERS CAN LINK ME TO THEIR STORIES!!! IT HELPS BOTH THE POSTERS AND THE CONSUMERS TO MODERATE THE EXPERIENCE TO THEIR LIKING!!!!

SENDING PEOPLE TO THAT UNSLIGHTLY “BOARD” OF A “BLOG” THAT APPEARS NOW WHEN YOU CLICK THE NAME OF THE BLOG INSTEAD OF SENDING YOU TO THE ACTUAL BLOG IS SUCH A DUMBASS MOVE? IT DOESNT EVEN ALLOW LINKS!!! I CANT DO SHIT ON THERE!!! I CANT FIND WHAT IM THERE FOR!!!! IT MAKES ME NOT WANT TO USE IT!!!!

TUMBLR IS/USED TO BE THE MOST FLEXIBLE AND THAT WAS ITS BIGGEST MERIT!!! YOU HAVE ONE OF THE BEST TAGGING SYSTEMS AND YOU WONT LET ME USE IT TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL!!! 

YOU CAN FOSTER COMMUNITIES, YOU LET PEOPLE KEEP MULTIPLE SIDE BLOGS WITHOUT HAVING TO SIGN IN WITH A DIFFERENT EMAIL, YOU ALLOW VIDEOS AND AUDIO AND +4 PHOTOS PER POST!!!! TWITTER CANT HAVE THAT!! TIKTOK CANT HAVE THAT!! REDDIT CANT HAVE THAT!!! FACEBOOK CANT HAVE THAT!!!

IM SO SICK OF THIS TWITTERIFICATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't remember if anyone has typed out a post on this or not, but what are movie Hobie's canon events are? Especially regarding the whole "a cop close to Spiderman had to die."

We all know Hobie would never mess with cops. SoI find it incredibly hard to believe that he at any point was close to a police officer. So what exactly happened that replaced that? And at what point in Hobie's timeline did this happen? Because there is a possibility (it's such a small possibility like fingers almost touching small) that Hobie was close to a cop as a child that betrayed him.

NO WAIT. What if the cop dying was in a more symbolic sense. The cop betrayed Hobie and now he's "dead" to Hobie.

Also how'd he get bitten? I know how it happened to Comic Hobie however in the movie during his introduction he jokingly glossed over how he was bitten by a spider. Is there something there? I need someone else's thoughts on this before I go crazy.

YOO!! So somebody mentioned something on my post yesterday that was SO interesting. (I'll link it here in a sec if I can find it)

But someone mentioned Spycops - a decades long operation conducted by British Intelligence in which agents infiltrated leftist groups - so much so that some agents even married and had kids with group members all while reporting back to the government, having big positions in the organizations just to fuck with shit on the DL

I agree so much that Hobie wouldn't fw a cop in any sense so I'm into the idea that he was close friends with someone involved in Spycops, only to find out later that they were betraying him and reporting back.

I feel like it'd really fuck him up though because Hobie is SO loyal and hates deception so to have someone he's close with and trusts and helps turn out to be a cop would be insane

In the end once he finds out maybe the captain tried to take him or kill him and Hobie is like fuck it id never kill a friend but i'll kill you

(also thank you so much to @leoriowithaknife for the post about this!! In all honesty though, outside of ATSV, this is definitely a topic to look into and learn about and it's just unfathomable all around the deception that goes into government-sanctioned destablization)

And for the bite all I know is that in the comics he was bitten by a spider made from radioactive sludge made by a company - basic hc for me is that he was with a activist group that was sneaking in and trashing a bio-weapons lab and freeing animal test subjects and he accidentally got bit during the commotion

found a twitter tweet that was like "oh yeah content warning hatoful boyfriend has a lot of gore and violence" and every single person in the notes/retweets/qrts/whatever the fuck terms twitter has was going "WHAT THE FUCK IT HAS WHAT" and i find that hilarious because. large amounts of gore and violence is a tremendous understatement about the amount of stuff that goes down in hatoful boyfriend

my full trigger list for hatoful boyfriend (and its sequel), for anyone curious is:

just on the off chance anyone reading this doesn’t know what Hatoful Boyfriend is

I WOULD PAY TEN TIMES AS MUCH FOR CHOCOLATE IF IT MEANT REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF SLAVES IN THE WORLD? HOW IS THIS ANY KIND OF PROBLEM. 

good news, you can! the company’s called Tony’s Chocolonely and their entire purpose is to make slave-free chocolate and reform the chocolate industry.

https://tonyschocolonely.com/us/en

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony%27s_Chocolonely

Whole Foods carries it. If you don’t want to support an Amazon-owned company, World Market carries it. You can also buy it directly from the company. 

It’s the best chocolate I’ve ever had and it’s 100% slave free. Tony’s Chocolonely works really hard to push for transparency within the chocolate industry and actually has and is following an action plan to eliminate slavery within cocoa production. They’re good people who make good chocolate.

A list of slavery-free chocolate companies:

Taza chocolate is really good 

This is super important! Slave child labor is used in many many cocoa farms from big name companies like Nestle and Dove. Here is a good link discussing it: http://www.foodispower.org/slavery-chocolate/ .

 And here is an easy score card to see who the worst offenders are/who to avoid most: https://www.greenamerica.org/end-child-labor-cocoa/chocolate-scorecard 

.....you know I would like to thank @voyoock for this reply because tbh I kind of wanted to break one of these open and taste it myself.

Just think, these stones contain the water from ancient seas from millenia ago, and a well educated scholar STILL couldn't resist their pull. Not one of us is immune to the siren call of ancient tide pods.

“it’s weird for queer minors to be friends with queer adults” oh my god. ohhh my god.

intergenerational community support, especially in a community that is split so much age wise as the queer community, is immensely fucking important. get to know older queers and younger queers. this is how communities frazzle out and die to infighting.

the hypothetical queer adult that people are mad over in the post this is refrencing is 35 years old. only 35.

its weird for any minors to be friends with any adults, queer or not. There should be no reason why unrelated adults or minors should be making close relationships in any sense outside of professional ones. I understand wanting education, but they can be taught when they are adults as well.

is this a joke.

One of my fondest memories as a young queer is an "older" lesbian I met through her blog.

I must have been 19 when I met her, I think she was in her late 30s, early 40s.

We met a couple of times over the years at cafes and at pride. I wasn't having a good time mentally at that time. My ex's depression was feeding my own, and he wasn't... good for me, overall. I was failing art school. I was isolated and lonely. I carried so much pain and shame.

She just listened to me, gave advice when I asked for it, but mostly she was there. She suffered from bpd iirc, and she was a painter, she understood struggling with mental health and art block. She was a butch, hairy, unapologetic lesbian who smokes and shaved her hair into a Mohawk herself in the mirror. She helped me finally accept myself and my queerness in a punk, political way, rather than the "we just want a white picket fence and 1.5 kids" way.

She's the first person I invited for lunch when I got my very first job.

We lost contact over the way, but I'll never forget her. She saved my life. Helped me keep fighting when at the time I just wanted to disappear.

Friendships between different age groups don't have to be predatory. They can be healing, guiding forces. Especially for young queers.

Wherever Mad is today, I hope she's smoking her favourite cigarette brand and having a black coffee as she paints.

Trees are essential to providing Angelenos with significant environmental and public health benefits, especially during a heatwave.

Public Works’ Bureau of Street Services (StreetsLA) is responsible for maintaining the City's 700,000+ trees in the public right-of-way. (x)

Trees can be trimmed by a StreetsLA Urban Forestry Division (UFD) crew as part of its trim cycle, or as part of a Council District’s trimming allotment.

A business can also obtain a permit to trim a tree. StreetsLA issues permits to businesses & conducts follow-up inspections. (x)

Code enforcement for street trees (including the pruning or removal of trees without a permit) is the responsibility of the StreetsLA Investigation and Enforcement Division.

Violations can result in code enforcement citations. (x)

Trees should be trimmed every 5 years. 🌳

Our 2019 StreetsLA audit uncovered resource constraints & lack of modern data mgmt tools that led to troubling delays in the City’s trim cycle. Trees were trimmed every 18 yrs & has since worsened to every 21 yrs. (x)

Sound ON

i hate the “on average a user only sees 25 posts per session so they have to be good and varied” bullshit on that staff post. if i open tumblr and the 25 posts i see are nothing but a single mutual mass reblogging their favourite thing that i couldn’t care less about. well. that’s what i enjoy

If my beloved mutual needed to reblog a thing 25 times then by all things sacred I am going to read it once and then scroll past it 24 times as they intended me to!

@cipheramnesia, I just feel like you should see this cat for some reason.

He's living large.

Does he have a permit for that?

I think you mean a "pawmit" and no, because like all cats he loves crime

My friend's MHA OC. Their birthday is right smack in the middle of artfight, so I get to gift them art and also get friendly fire points lmao
