finals have been kicking: my butt and I've mainly been on Wattpad but I made a realization regarding my blorbos

uh. I don't know what else to say other than "they would be friends" and "being a kid really deep in the undertale fandom has had a permanent impact on my psyche" but

more good news from tiktok: they’ve started blocking celebrities.

they’re calling it block party 2024. just blocking and ignoring countless celebrities who havent said shit about palestine. influencers, actors, anyone who went to the met gala, whatever, they’re getting blocked. and people keep talking about how cathartic it is, how good it feels, how they never realized they could DO that. there was some kind of subconscious law against blocking famous people, but it’s broken, and people are LOVING it. and it’s WORKING. a social media/digital advertising coordinator was talking about how ad companies are PANICKING, because they can’t accurately target anymore. so many big influencers, including fucking LIZZO started talking about palestine the MOMENT their follower counts started going down. and the best part? no one is forgiving them. lizzo posted a tiktok asking people to donate to palestinian families, and all the comments just said you’re a multimillionaire. put your money where your mouth is. blocked.

i feel like i’m witnessing the downfall of celebrity culture, right here right now. people are waking up.

PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP. so many comments saying “blocking x celebrity was hard until i remembered they don’t care if i die. it got a lot easier then. they aren’t my friends, why should i feel like im betraying them?” what a beautiful thing to see

does this not fill you with immense pride and joy

Here's how to write an authentic Grimm style fairytale, brought to you by a Certified German TM:

Johnny McEntee, senior advisor to Project 2025, claims he distributes fake money to homeless people so that when they use it, they will be arrested.

He asserts that he does this to help "clean up the street."

OK but I do genuinely believe we need to push for something like this before it's too late - and not just in digital spaces. We should have the right to peace and quiet from advertising. There should be more limits on how much and where we get advertising because otherwise it'll just become a creep of more and more until every fucking public space is lit with several billboards blasting us with ads, and the walls between spaces lined with ads, and our commutes filled with ads, and local parks sponsored by corporations to offset the cost of local councils, and so on and on and on and on. No. I need quiet. I need spaces where ads cannot touch me.

Had the funniest experience earlier of my swiftie coworker putting the new white girl breakup songs™️ album on the speaker at work and the moment she left the room long enough for her phone to disconnect from Bluetooth our older coworker immediately put on 10 hours of relaxing tibetan flute music instead and we all collectively sighed in relief

happy mother’s day to that mom who sold y/n to one direction

my partner doesn’t use pet names nearly as much as i do, which is very funny because i will crack my gay little knuckles and say some shit like “good morning my sun and moon, my loveliest boy, my baby my sweetheart my darling dearest” and he will reply “hello adrian”

This is because you are a straight girl. In a heterosexual relationship.

i love how many people saw this post and invented a world where i’m a sad little trans “guy” (aka confused woman) throwing endless love and affection at some loserly cisgender brick wall. first of all, my boyfriend doesn’t use pet names as often as i do because english isn’t his first language. our pet naming conventions do not come naturally to him. second of all, this is the t4t website. we both have vaginas

NO WAY

Please stop telling people, for any reason, to kill themself. Stop advocating for suicide in any form or capacity.

"Terfs kill yourself challenge!" No, we're not doing that.

There is literally no reason why you should tell someone, no matter how evil they are, to kill themself. When you do that, you're putting on a value on human lives and saying that under certain circumstances, you lose that value. I don't care who you are, there is no reason you should be told to kill yourself.

Any time somebody argues that you should avoid the use of obvious pop culture references and current slang in prose fiction in order to avoid "dating" the text, I'm reminded that our primary evidence for when several of Shakespeare's plays were written is that their dialogue quotes specific pieces of contemporary popular media, and that there's strong evidence many of the words he's credited by modern authorities with inventing are literally just contemporary youth slang. Like, if it's good enough for Shakespeare it's good enough for me, buddy!

(Besides, trying to deliberately cultivate "timelessness" in one's work is a fool's errand because it's a state which any work which survives for long enough achieves without effort. Shakespeare reads as "timeless" to modern audiences not because of anything he did, but because only dedicated students of a specific twenty-year slice of early modern history are able to catch the references. If your work is still being read in four hundred years, the experience will be much the same!)

Having comfort characters is so funny because you hear or see something that vaguely reminds you of them and it's like
