I see Hollywood is now very into the idea of buying something once and then owning it forever and being able to make infinite copies. Which. Isn’t quite the message they imparted upon me in my childhood. In the spirit of their own long-held stance:

ID: a screenshot from a Word document where Pro-Writing-Aid is making a readability suggestion. The sentence flagged as hard to read is "What happened to dinner?"   The suggested fix to make the text easier to read is "What dinnered?"ALT

When I say editing software is getting dumber, this is what I mean.

In what world is “What dinnered?” more legible than “What happened to dinner?” I just… what?!

reblogging to normalize. because we really should be uplifting sex workers as bread winners. Also because they should be able to show their face in public without fear of repercussions??? (cough cough), like this gentleman.

Honestly its unhinged and hilarious but yet also seriously something I want to see more of

screenshot of a notification of user eigenblogging's reblog. They say: "nah absolutely not, shit like this is literally propaganda to turn young people into cheap whores. Even if he made that... [trails off] [hashtag] seeing shit like this makes me violently angry [hashtag] vid"

Anyway…👀

Reblog if you’re a cheap whore. Or respect cheap whores. Or have the power to turn young people into cheap whores. (they can never tell which)

support whores both cheap and expensive!

Can’t let British people have air conditioning because first they’d call it something twee like “the climate fixer” and then in 20 years they’ll call it “the climb” or “the climmy”

French kids would call it “le climot”, frustrating language officials who would prefer they call it “machine pour le contrôle du climat froide à l'interieure de l'édifice”

“The average US president has been charged with 1.54 felonies” factoid isn’t true. The average US President has been charged with 0 felonies. Donald trump, who has been charged with 71, is a statistical outlier and should not have been counted

watching people on tiktok consume borax is uh. something.

having to say “don’t eat borax” was not on my 2023 bingo

Can’t believe in the year 2023 we have to say: do not consume borax. It will not provide a “parasite cleanse”, it does not combat the “evil fluoride” in your water, and it is not a super mineral. It will damage your organs. Also, it’s not rated for human consumption so frankly, who knows what it’s cross-contaminated with (my personal bet would be arsenic).

Absolutely love when I Google something I’ve never heard of and find the reason I’ve never heard of it is because it’s been banned in the EU for safety concerns

I used borax on my carpets for fleas. Because it literally eats through their exoskeleton/egg shells and kills them. It made the bottoms of my feet just a little bit hot when I walked over the carpet. Who - who out there comes UP with this stuff in the first place? Like - who’s ground zero for ‘I must ingest a corrosive salt laundry detergent?’

I use borax to prevent woodworm in my barn. It’s a pesticide, not a nutrient. WTF.

‘why are actors striking aren’t they all millionaires’ here’s a paywall free link to an article that mentions how most of the cast of one of netflix’s biggest shows had day jobs bc they couldn’t afford rent

remember that actors are usually not well off at all. forget the big screen famous guys, they’re the very few ones. this strike is for all the other ones, that deserve to have a livable paycheck for their job.

And a note to say that, had Orange is the New Black been on a not-streaming network which paid them residuals each time they screened the show the actors would have done fine or better than fine.

At the start of streaming rules were agreed to let these beginning ways of putting out stories over the web succeed and get established, and letting them not pay actors and writers traditional style residuals was part of what was agreed. They got established. They succeeded. The actors and the writers took the hit.

Favorite thing about renaissance faires is that they have fuck all to to with the renaissance. This thang is not about historical anything this is about dressing up like a fairy and watching a joust

Ok, but this illustrates perfectly how school is designed to teach us how to work.

^^^ yes. Children shouldn’t have to live like this either. It fucking sucks.
