i dont understand at all how non-programmers use computers. every day i encounter new and strange workflows? "yeah i write my fic in scrivener but then when it's ready to post to ao3 i copy/paste it into libreoffice and use find-and-replace to convert it to html" dude what the fuck

You don't understand how people who never had the opportunity or aptitude or interest on something don't know how to optimize it? I'd be happy to hear some programmer to nonprogrammer breakdown on best workflow practices that didn't assume I'm either digitally illiterate or dumb.

no, no, i fully understand why this happens! it's more like, i've been cooked in the computer soup for so long that i actually just. can't model what it's like to Not use the command line for everything. i cannot make my brain simulate being a non-programmer, at all. when i say "i don't understand" i mean i actually don't have any idea how less computer-fluent people come up with the workflows they use and i am fascinated because they never would have occurred to me. my mom writes all her to-do lists in microsoft word and has for my entire life and every time i think about this i sit there, amazed.

also i don't think the shit i do is actually "best practices" either i just automate everything because i have adhd and zero patience for tedium when the computer could do the boring task FOR me

I have adhd too and I'd love to learn coding shit that would help me but unfortunately I'm trapped making to-do lists on word also. I just see that kind of "I don't get how you do that" way too often, especially bc I've always worked in close intellectual quarters with programmers. I sense that, in general, programmers lose touch with the rest of the digital world, as of other kinds of digital literacy.

Like, I know you meant no harm, but I've seen that kind of ignorance way too much in my professional life to be understanding, you know

that's exactly it! and sometimes programmers can be really dickish about it? i guess because they find it's easier to call someone stupid than to admit they might be bad at explaining things or that they're taking for granted a vast amount of background knowledge that non-programmers don't actually have.

anyway i have to go do my actual job rn but would you be interested in helping me write a tutorial or something for automating boring digital tasks for non-programmers? i'd love to share what i know but i need someone who will thwack me with a rolled-up newspaper whenever i write something incomprehensible (although if you get enough of that in your day job, i fully understand!)

Programmers can be HORRIVLY dickish about it, especially when someone from humanities or arts have objections lol

I'd love to help! DM me for my discord and we can work it out! :DD

here's a random word generator--whatever word it gives you is now the thing you are the deity of

listen to me. if youre an adult you have the ability to be an unfathomably kind influence on a child. i had a good teacher who let me break down in the hallway for the whole period because he noticed me crying in class, and before that he complimented my writing skills and encouraged me to persue writing. and man ill never forget that teacher as long as i live for even the miniscule acts of kindness. be kind to kids. you never know whats going on that you cant see.

Can confirm. The librarian at my elementary school let me read anything I wanted, even stuff outside the kids' circle, because I was curious and was at reading at a more advanced level than my peers. She stood up for me when teachers tried to tell me to stick to books for my own age group and let me have indoor recess in the library to get away from the kids that bullied me. She told me that I should never be ashamed of being smart or for wanting to learn, and encouraged my love of literature and writing.

When I published my first book, I mailed her a copy with a note that said, "Dear Mrs. W - Couldn't have done it without you. Eternally Grateful, Bree. PS: Don't worry, I have my own copy of The Unhuggables now."

i used to be a coach for high school color guard and years later i had a student write to me. she said that i not only helped her become a better person by reigniting her love for the activity by sharing my own passion, but i also unknowingly stopped her from taking her own life one day. she was cleaning everything out of her guard locker, including stuff she would need to perform, and i jovially said “you’re still planning on performing tomorrow, right? we can’t have a hole in the show, and i need you in the stands so i can hide candy in your bag” or something to that extent. i genuinely don’t remember this encounter, but she does. i dread to think what could have happened had i not said anything and just kept walking by. it’s not just kids you gotta be kind to, small kindnesses go a long way teenagers too and even adults.

But wait! She has a head, after all!😌😌😌

She's like the mother from Cow and Chicken

I don’t know shit about gif making but y’all’s funky little moving pictures be bringing me so much serotonin. They’re so pretty and then y’all notice these cool parallels in the shows and make gifs from them. And when y’all think of quotes and song lyrics that perfectly match characters/ships/scenes??? Iconic. And your gifs make me notice little details in the show that I didn’t always catch from watching it in real time or just let me relive some of my favorite scenes in a new and creative way. Anyway y’all are the best. Shoutout to the gif makers.

Reblog so we can really give them some varied stats!

I’d forgotten how easy it is to make Italian flatbread

For anyone wondering:

Knead and divide into two balls, roll into circles around 0.5cm thick. Bake in olive oil until golden brown, add your toppings of choice and you’re done :)
