So a very crusty old man was being accompanied by his son to grocery shop. Awesome cuz this guy was absolutely CLUELESS.

He tried to get me to open the milk doors for him to get his milk. The son goes "dad. You open the door and get it yourself. They're not wait staff."

The dude is complaining about the prices. "Its not 1945 anymore dad, eggs aren't just 1$ anymore."

Later, I hear "dad move out of the way, you're blocking traffic"

At the register, they're the 2nd in line. Im almost done with the customernin front. Like they're about to pay. And he demands we open another register. "Dad. You can wait for 1 minute. We're next." And then he tried to pay with cash and the son goes "you just got mad about waiting 10 seconds, and you're gonna make the whole line wait 5 minutes for you to count those coins? Just use your card!"

After the transaction, the guy is looking over his receipt. "He was so fast he must have messed up something" the son goes "cashiers are timed these days. He has to be fast. Everything is fine."

Shoutout to this grownup kid. Educate your parents.

Thanks for hanging out with me! Was I cool? did you like me? What do you think of me in detail? Do you hate me?

had to watch a sea urchin fertilization lab for school and the way they dispose of the fertilized urchins is putting them in a tub labeled “used” lmao

Man I hate posts about the Neurodivergent Experience that try to universalize it in opposition to the Neurotypical Experience. I just saw a post about how "neurodivergent people don't perceive early signs of hunger and neurotypical people do which is why neurodivergent people forget to eat" and a bunch of people in the comments like "whoamygod makes so much sense" but like, I am able to detect hunger at its early stages. I do forget to eat when I'm manic but that's because I'm distracted and don't notice it, not because I'm not able to perceive it if I think about it. Anyway the Neurodivergent Experience is not universal and one size fits all so stop saying stuff like "the Neurodivergent Experience is __" it can be annoying especially to people like me who have been told they're faking it their whole lives. Even something like "a lot of neurodivergent people have this" can go a long way to being inclusive.

Sommie reminds you to be kind to yourself

Considering the existence of bisexual lighting and the fact normal light is basically a condensed rainbow, every form of lighting is inherently queer, which is why modern shows and movies have such bad lighting, because of inherent subtextual homophobia, hope this helps

tumblr staff have...

allowed false flags of 100% sfw posts made by transfem users (and blacklisted trans-adjacent tags)

taken away basic accessibility features in an effort to tiktok-ify tumblr

pushed tumblr live, a feature users actively dislike which is mostly unused and overrun by spambots, that also collects all of your data

allowed ads that can literally kill people via flashing / strobing lights, even if the person had it filtered, despite user complaints, with the ceo even saying people with epilepsy should "just buy ad free" in response to concern over potential death or serious injury from such ads

STOP GIVING THEM MONEY! stop trying to make crab day or whatever else happen. paying for stuff from the shop is rewarding them for ignoring the userbase continuously and doing things the majority don't want, even if the things they're doing and allowing can cause actual deaths. staff shouldn't be praised and get profit for ignoring their users in exchange for trying to turn tumblr into twitter 2 ft. tiktok. at this point i don't even care for "staff are people 🥺 be nice" arguments, because even when people are being very polite in feedback, they're perfectly fine ignoring it in exchange for implementing changes nobody wants or asked for, all because new users may like it more (and forget anyone who's used the site for years, apparently).

leave bad reviews. don't buy things from the shop. send feedback, even if they never reply. email them and @ the staff, send asks to the wip blog. don't just blindly buy into "we need to support the site, buy xyz shop product", they don't deserve more money for giving a worse product.
