red cross questions before you give blood are like

  • do you have the bubonic plague (also known as the black death)
  • were you a member of an Armenian monkey juggling troupe between the years of 1985 and 1997
  • have you ever even SEEN a gay man

you truly do not exist for other ppl’s consumption and your existence is not hinged on making others happy and comfortable by stifling and hiding and crushing and editing parts of yourself to be less than who you really are

So my roommate doesn’t like swears. They make her uncomfortable, so when I send her memes, I do my best to censor out any swears in them so she can enjoy them as much as I do.

I was trying to send her this meme

So I went to censor it into the final form in MS paint

Simple process, just set the secondary color to black

And cut

Then copy and paste edited meme.

Which I did.

Except.

I forgot to copy the whole meme

So my roommate, whom I love dearly, just got a notification on her phone that only said

Ok girlies time for our prescription 1-2 hour walk, imagine we r all in line like Madeline

[ID: A cropped image from the children’s book Madeline. It shows all the girls from Madeline’s school walking together through a park, in two straight lines, wearing their identical uniforms of yellow dresses with yellow hats. They each hold one flower in their hands. END ID]

Wait- MADELINE IS A BOOK???? I watched the cartoon version but I never knew it was originally a children's book!!

don’t pretend the Great Tag Ban isn’t funny. don’t pretend that content being automatically removed from the site for using arbitrary terms like “girl” or “tony the tiger” isn’t hilarious

we said “we’ll stay here until staff removes all of the content and the site becomes completely unusable” & staff said ok the tigerfuckers go first

Okay, everyone in the comments wants to talk about the feminist/anti-feminist implications of this scene. And sure, I see that. But ALL I want to know is why putting “Mrs.” in front of a few letters is somehow a useful spelling trick?

Like, how the crap is that supposed to help?

It helps because it’s taught in the form of a poem.

Mrs. D, Mrs. I Mrs. F, F, I Mrs. C, Mrs. U Mrs. L, T, Y

It’s a mnemonic device, of which rhymes are some of the most effective. Think of how you first learned the ABCs - in a song. Math classes also put multiplication charts to music to help students better retain the information. It’s the same principle.

This is what I was saying about rhythm, rhyme and meter in song and poetry!!! It’s a technology for passing down information and that’s how we did it pre-written language!
