jk rowling’s new reputation will never not be funny to me. when you see her name now you dont think “oh yeah thats the chick who wrote harry potter” you think “oh lord, this TERF bitch again” like bro how do you fuck up so bad that your fuck ups overshadow writing the third most read piece of literature in existence

#literally like I was saying earlier!#these books could have just quietly gone down in history as a much-beloved piece of children’s/teen fiction#and people would have been like ‘it’s kind of problematic but the pros outweigh the cons so I’ll read it to the kids’#but Rowling was SO desperate to keep herself relevant that she’s driven HP into the fucking earth

i don’t think tumblr actually eats asks i think that was made up by someone who was caught in the crossfire of some petty tumblr drama years ago and we all just ran with it because it’s both plausible and incredibly convenient. for the record if i don’t answer your ask it’s because i didn’t want to. peace peace ✌️

It doesn’t eat asks nowadays. It actually used to be a thing you could test. We know what caused it.

It’s been fixed for a long time, but if your ask contained “…” in it, Tumblr would eat it: You’d get the notification but there would be no new ask in your inbox. We eventually found out it was “…” that caused it through trial and error, and eventually, it was quietly fixed, but for years, spaghetti code in tumblr just didn’t allow you to triple ellipsis others in any capacity. Seasoned RP blogs back in the day would include this tip in their About, even: “Don’t send asks with … in them, Tumblr eats those”.

every day i learn about another way this hellsite used to be even more fucked up than now

i hope yall are being careful with lil nas x; he’s a very good and entertaining performer, but he’s still not your friend. i’m not saying he’s secretly horrible, but the familiarity from like his twitter and tik tok and all is just part of the performance. In a very real way, lil nas x doesn’t actually exist; he’s just a character Montero Lamar Hill plays for our amusement. don’t forget that.

this isn’t like about any specific reaction i’ve seen, just that anyone who becomes a Tumblr Darling will inevitably be turned on real fuckin fast when it turns out they’re a real person with a private life, so when people start talking about this guy like he’s the Best Most Real Celebrity, i start to get Very Very Nervous.

See, when I think to myself “we need to protect this man” I DO 100% mean that we need to protect him from being the next celebrity to be thrown violently from a pedestal he should never have been forced into.

I did my thesis on eugenics and forced sterilization in Canadian history (indigenous specific) and the next cis woman to say that men should collectively be forced to get vasectomies for points on some kind imaginary scoreboard of rights is getting sent a copy of the records I had to sift thru of men, mostly indigenous, racialized, developmentally disabled, or poor men, being sterilized against their wills and often without their knowledge.

I once again must remind people that “don’t like abortion, get a vasectomy” isn’t the gotcha you think it is, and that reproductive justice means supporting people who are targeted by the state both for forced birth AND for sterilization and child apprehension, as they’re linked closely.

Communication is so wild though like you can spend hours thinking someone is mad at you and then when you ask what’s up they’re like “yeah my mom really pissed me off earlier” and it turns out you were just assuming it was about you. And now you don’t have to carry that stress anymore

Or you could finally work up the nerve to be like “hey I’m not a huge fan of this thing we do together” and the other person is just like thank god I also don’t like that thing. And then neither of you have to do it anymore

OR even crazier, you can be like “I’m having this problem and idk what to do about it” and they’re like “what about this?” and they just solve the entire thing and you realize again how smart and clever your friends are

Mindblowing every time

I hate it when I talk wistfully about the ancient world and then people are like “you wouldn’t survive back then” yeah obviously I would die immediately but do you think achilles would be able to survive in the modern world if he had to send one polite email? no

congrats to these people on being funnier than me on my own fucking post

brb the whole discord in an uproar at the UNCONSCIONABLE results of Mister Global 2022

seriously though, MR. SPAIN?!

Mr Spain vs the runner up Mr Vietnam. Like. How the fuck?

Looking very respectfully at Mr. Vietnam

I mean personally I was in favor of Mr. Peru and Mr. Nigeria but I can fully agree Spain can get out of there.

Tbh mr spain looks like a piece of art compared to britain and cuba’s costumes
