i don’t understand why some fanfiction writers will put all of there work in one giant paragraph. i am constantly abusing a paragraph break. i use it every five seconds. new subject? new paragraph. slightly different angle? new paragraph. any sentence that holds any amount of weight? boom new paragraph. i will use one word then do another paragraph break. you can’t stop me.

its been about 10 years since she showed me this but i am STILL thinking about how my (then) 4 year old cousin drew birds

OBSESSED with this creature; she draws the body from above/below and the head from the side, with a giant eyeball that takes up the entire head and never looks in a specific direction. in a very old-fashioned sense: iconic

Yeah I would have guessed this was on some ancient pottery or something

“Well it’s not just mainstream music, aren’t ALL songs about sex and relationships if you really think about it—“ Absolutely the fuck not. I just listened to a song about being buried alive and one about pirates battling a giant squid. Listen to more weird music immediately

The excluded tags filter on Ao3 is such a fucking lifesaver. I love it so much.

the state of tiktok skits about having a rude customer is getting out of control i just saw one from a pharmacist and the whole skit was like someone comes in and goes “you shorted me on pills” and the pharmacist goes “no we didn’t you can see on the prescription it said to give you this many” and the patient goes “well i usually get more so i’m gonna call my doctor about this” like how is that customer being unreasonable or a karen or whatever

but the whole skit was about pain meds and we all know if someone wants more pain meds it’s bc they’re a lying addict trying to scam you and not just someone who’s confused bc their doctor made a mistake so it’s ok to post skits on tiktok portraying them as a villain for wanting the medication that was prescribed to them

Karen is quickly becoming one of those terms that's lost all meaning, like so many before it.

Like. You ask me to define "Karen" and I'd say it's the lady today who said she wanted a chicken sandwich then threw a fit when I told her we've never served chicken but could do a turkey burger, calling me stupid, insisting we've always given her chicken before, then insisting she speak with the manager (which is me).

Meanwhile, my 16 year old sister was telling me about a Karen at her work (she works in a really nice retirement home) who was a lady who asked for no sugar in her tea, was given sweet tea, and then explained she couldn't drink it because she was diabetic and it might kill her. "Like, she was such a bitch," my sister said, "She wouldn't even drink it! Told me to send it back and get her a new one!" Which, like, maybe it's because I'm old now, but if I messed up someone's drink and they had a medical condition that kept them from drinking that drink, they're not the bad guy in that situation. The proper response is to fix it, but my sister's been raised by her phone and is on TikTok all the time and thinks that "Karen" and "mild inconvenience" are the same thing.
