IT'S FINALLY HERE! The true full size of my "do you love the colour of the sky HD remake director's cut" tumblr post

This ended up being 2 3/4 inches wide by 36 FEET LONG. 

The 2 3/4 inch width was chosen because that's the same width as a pretty average phone screen, and I wanted to know how physically far you have to scroll to get past this post.

also dont tell my boss that I got into the art gallery before we opened just to set up this rainbow CVS receipt looking motherfucker. in my defense i literally couldn't find any other location that was long enough to show this off

Please consider subscribing to my Patreon to gain access to my original content a week before its posted on tumblr!

reblogging this because the og post is suddenly getting a bunch of notes and i want everyone to see just how long this motherfucker is in real life

that is impressively long omg

also you all should be so grateful I never reblogged that post because WOW

twitter: currently owned by techbro pissman

tumblr: actively removing functionality and bloating the interface with things nobody uses

discord: being retooled by ex-Meta management who don't understand the appeal of the platform

youtube: neutered by advertisers and algorithms and also tiktokification

reddit: half of the site is down due to protests about the removal of third-party API support

facebook: my mom is on there

Years ago I overheard (eavesdropped upon) a telephone conversation between a public parks official and a golf course owner.

Parks Official: No sir, you cannot

Parks Official: No. They are a protected species

Parks Official: You CANNOT shoot them

Parks Official: Or poison them, no. Or trap them

Parks Official: If you like, we can-- no, I'm it. I'm the ranking official here. There's nobody above me. My boss? You mean... the governor's office? Sure, I guess. Okay bye

After he hung up, he gave me this thousand-yard stare before answering my unvoiced question.

"There's a flock of flamingos at the 9th green disrupting golfers. He wanted permission to go out there with a shotgun and take care of matters, but sensed there might be... legal ramifications. So he called us."

I laughed. "Does that happen often?"

"Oh, we get calls like that a couple times a month."

Country clubs should be burned to the ground and their golf courses turned into community gardens i am 10000% serious

Was golf created for the sole purpose of hoarding ridiculously large amounts of land just to brag about how little they use it?

Yes, literally.

The sheer fucking selfish soulless laziness of this drives me daft. Yeah, great, you can get a bot to churn you out some crappy generic ending, rather than one written with love and thought and heart by an actual human being. And you can do it in a couple of seconds, rather than having to put any thought into it yourself.

Why do they think so many stories go unfinished in the first place? Could it be perhaps because writing is hard work, and that writers are people with real lives to balance with their writing?? Question, anonymous commenter: did you bother to comment on the fic while the author was still updating, letting them know how much you were enjoying it, offering them motivation to continue? Did you get in touch with them to ask about the story and where it was headed? Did you give the author the slightest indication that they were writing a story that someone else out there enjoyed? Did you think of the author as a fellow human being and member of fandom community at all before you decided to feed their story into some fucking machine to get your shitty by-the-numbers McFanfic conclusion?

Speaking as a writer: honestly, if someone came to me and told me they’d written an ending to an unfinished story of mine - I mean actually written, with their own imagination, under their own steam - I might have mixed feelings, depending on the circumstances, but at least I would know that they had loved the story enough to actually put the thought and the effort into creating an ending for it. Honestly, I’d very probably be flattered. It certainly wouldn’t be the same slap in the face that just feeding it to fucking chatgpt would be. Maybe you could try that next time your favourite fic is languishing unfinished. Only that would take - gasp - actual effort and engagement on your part.

From the bottom of my heart: fuck AI. And fuck this lazy, entitled culture of instant gratification that enables this sort of behaviour.

I know I've been over this but man HRT is good stuff. I wanna shake the hand of whoever invented it. It's a crime that I don't know who that is actually. They're more important than Einstein

id also been really curious about the history of hrt so i had some tabs open:

The first hrt treatments were mostly estrogen extracted during pregnancies to be used for menopause symptoms, but the first usage of those medicines for trans women is credited to the world's first Trans Clinic, opened in pre-WW2 Germany by Magnus Hirschfield, a gay jewish man.

Oh he looks delightful

Thank you grandpa

The comparasion to Einstein was actually made at the time too! He was commonly refered to as “the Einstein of sex”, to which he supposedly once replied that he would rather Einstein be called “the Hirschfeld of physics” lmao

Oh my god

me a few years ago: its so weird how right wingers always wanna blame the "elite" given that alot of them are in the global 1% of wealth and therefore almost by definition the same "elite" they claim to hate. weird right? lol right wing logic makes no sense

me now: oh my god they mean Jewish people. its always been Jewish people. and the insistence of online leftists to use words like "elite" and "cabal" (to refer to a handful of ultra rich people who dictate a lot of how our lives are run) kinda makes them sound like antisemites too. maybe this whole idea that the world is run by a select few is a gross oversimplification which only serves to reinforce antisemitic stereotypes... oh no. maybe i have a lot of shit to unlearn. maybe i need to start vocally defending Jewish ppl. also local community building is the only way out of this
