Hey Tom Hiddleston - you’re a massive Shakespeare nerd, and theatre nerd, and tennis nerd, and overall lover of life nerd. What kind of candy are you going to hand out for Halloween?

MY PAPAYAS

a crime of passion

That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

No one will know which is it

This guy inspired me to repair my own macbook. First of all, you should know that I am not… like, I have to look up HOW to look up what my computer specifications are. Tech, that ware either soft or hard, is not a subject in which I experience comfort or competence. But my puppy peed on my keyboard, and I asked the apple store, or the fucking mac cafe, or the godsdamn Computer House Chill Zone or whatever cute ass name they have for their bullshit store, and they said it would be TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE MY KEYBOARD. I’m not even exaggerating.

So I asked the internet, well how hard IS it to repair? And I saw this guy’s video, and while I am no techie, I AM fueled by spite, so I was all “oh, they do that shit on purpose specifically so they can charge me $1200 bucks or make me buy a new computer hunh? FUCK THEM” and I bought all the tools I needed for about $25 and I bought all the parts I needed for about another $25 and I watched a few tutorial videos, and I replaced my own keyboard.

So, once you are doing the actual deed, it becomes pretty obvious that they are finding creative ways to make this much harder than it has to be on purpose. On thing that stood out to me is, instead of all the tiny screws being the same size, there are about two dozen very slightly different sizes. They could easily be all the same size, or like, two sizes at most, but no.

These mother fuckers will take a panel that screws into place and they’ll use a different size screw for each corner. They are so close that you almost cannot tell them apart visually, but they each will only screw into the matching corner. Like, it’s a pretty clear “fuck you” to anyone trying to do repairs.

anyway, this guy is also fueled by spite, and doing holy work, and I have mad respect

Rossman is THE MAN. I have an infinite amount of respect for him as a person, and everything I’ve seen of him (he rants about other subjects) has been in keeping with a man who has a clear sense of who he is and what he’s about from a long amount of consideration.

every person can feel freddie’s presence in their souls when they sing MAMAAAAAA UUHHHH, I DONT WANNA DIE, I SOMETIMES I WISH I’VE NEVER BEEN BORN AT ALL with all the air in their lungs i’m not joking

it’s fucking crazy to think about the amount of people who have sung bohemian rhapsody? like it’s such a unifying song, by nature of the fact that so many people know it. it holds so many good memories for me and other people. it’s a song you scream in the car with your friends while you drive around your boring hometown, it’s a song you drunkenly sing with your arm around your best friend, or a song you sing along to with strangers when it’s on in public. it’s bittersweet to think about freddie’s legacy carrying on like that through his masterpiece. freddie carries on because he’s a part of so many people’s good memories and bohemian rhapsody is a huge part of that.

Reblog if you have sung bohemian rhapsody with your friends

every time i see this post i’m reminded of the video of 65,000 people singing bohemian rhapsody in near-perfect harmony

like, what other song can make that claim?

This should be frightening, they sing aaaaaah too in sync. But it’s weirdly…comforting?

Here’s an interesting Betrayal review thread, from a newly turned hiddlestoner.

[ Link to the tweet thread in source below. ]

To Noise Making (Sing) by Hozier is really just one of my favorite songs uh, ever, at this point, bc the message is so wonderful. Every lyric means so much to me! “You don’t have to sing it right, but who could call you wrong,” and “you don’t have to sing it nice, but honey sing it strong, at best you’ll find a little remedy, at worst the world will sing along,”

Are just such nice lyrics because that’s really how I’ve always felt about singing and how I wish everyone could feel.

As a person with moderate singing skills, I’ve always felt in the middle of two groups of people—those with professional skill & talent—and those who can’t carry a tune in a bucket.

So often, the former treat it like a contest. I’ve been in a car full of friends who are actually on broadway, and they sometimes seem to need to make sure we all know how talented they are….even though of course we know….they’re broadway actors.

And when I’m singing in my car with friends who “can’t” sing, they mumble quietly or apologize, and when it’s out of their range they trail off. They’re afraid of being heard.

But humans are supposed to sing for the sake of singing!! It’s healing, it’s fun, it’s cathartic, it’s bonding and connecting to other humans!!

We should all sing without feeling we have anything to prove or lose or gain!! We should hit notes wrong or exactly right without thinking about what the person next to us thinks, and they should be doing the same thing!!

Humans are supposed to sing, and shout, and dance, and make art, and do all of these things, beautifully, badly, ugly, and all wonderful.

I love that the song is initially called “to noise making.” Yes!! Make noise!!! Even if it’s off-key, dance even if it’s off-beat, paint even if it never looks right.

Exist and create and don’t judge yourself for what comes out and don’t judge anyone else and don’t spend time with people who judge you.

Just make noise!!! We’re supposed to!!!!!!!!!
