Are you leaving tumblr? 😢

Nah, more like reshuffling — I'm moving to a new name for Reasons™️. IRL stuff just got complicated.

If anyone wants the new url feel free to message me off anon and you can have it, for the record, I'm just not shouting it from the rooftops right now. Love y'all ♥️

This blog is likely to get either nuked from orbit or abandoned soon and if anyone would like to stay in touch elsewhere, just message me ♥️

I have a new Discord name to pass out if anyone's looking for the old name, too. (If you had me added it's fine, you don't need to add me again or anything. Same account, new name.)

Thanks, everyone.

Dangers of working on a set.

That’s what I said.

Okay but you forgot the best part! During the scene where Aragorn, Gandalf and the other Main CharaktersTM ride ahead to go shout at the gate (and talk to the mouth of sauron in the extended edition) they were very firmly told only to ride up  ahead “this far” because that area was cleared and beyond that it wasn’t.

But. Viggo Mortensen is absolutely mad and lead them just…. a bit farther than that. Everyone else was very scared they might blow up any second. Viggo said it “added a little extra tension”.

in my sophomore year of college this guy made these items which quickly became a craze across campus. i myself bought one of his sweaters, which says “GOOD AND DEAD” across the chest and “ARM PAIN” along the sleeves. he showed up at 11 pm on a bicycle to deliver the goods in the dead of winter, wearing a metal t-shirt tucked into khakis. his facebook screen name is an indecipherable series of symbols. i have no authentic way to credit him but i want to share his art with you.

Every midwit literary fiction novel from the past 5 years has been called something like The Little Things We Do To Ourselves or Back Then I Didn’t Think So Clearly or I Have Been Trying To Venmo You.

Sorry You Got Bit :(

I know I hate him I just haven’t figured out if it’s misogyny or assholery.

That feeling when the older ladies at the crafting group doing their millionth giant cross stitch compliment the first cross stitch you’ve done since failing abysmally at it at age eleven ✨

Okay but honestly it’s so nice to be part of this crafting/needlework/fiber arts group. Being in multigenerational spaces (outside of work) is something I’ve missed so much in my adult life, and getting to hang out every week with vastly different people ranging from high schoolers to 80 year olds is special and wonderful and hard to find outside of religious groups.

When ppl say we are social creatures, it means mutli generations. Before written text, oral history was the main way we shared info. Kids asking adults about this weird plant, someone showing you how to spin fibers, how to cook. We used to do everything as a group, and i think its really a shame that ppl isolate towads their own generation mostly out of fairly justifed fear. So having a common hobby is a really good way to work on this gap.

Eating while on shift is not permitted, staff are told. “If the system detects no keyboard stroke and mouse click, it will show you as idle for that particular duration, and it will be reported to your supervisor. So please avoid hampering your productivity.”

A training video about the webcam system, seen by the Guardian, says it “monitors and tracks real-time employee behaviour and detects any violations to pre-set business rules, and sends real-time alerts to managers to take corrective actions immediately”.

Capitalism is so exhausting

This is insane.

Capitalism is so innovative /s

Hi!  Want to completely fuck the keyboard-tracking system in the ass?  Want to do it in a way that they literally cannot do anything about without disabling primary Windows functions?

Step 1: Open Notepad.

Step 2: Copy the following text, line for line, omitting only the --- that caps either end of it. --- Dim objResult Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Do While True   objResult = objShell.sendkeys("{NUMLOCK}{NUMLOCK}")   Wscript.Sleep (6000) Loop --- Step 3: Save this as whatever.vbs, put it somewhere you can access easily, and double click it when you start your computer.

What does this do?

This runs a very basic script, and every six seconds, your computer will double-tap the NumLock key (i.e., turn it on, and then off) in a single instant.  This counts as a key-press, occurs with a key that shouldn’t affect most things that you’re doing, occurs with no gap between them even if it could affect things you’re doing, and should prevent this kind of BS from engaging.  As an aside, this will also prevent your computer from automatically locking itself, so take that into account if you need to manually lock your computer when going to lunch or whatever.
