my top hobbies are shame and embarrassment but i also occasionally dabble in envy

been getting into regret recently i think i've got a knack for it

moment of unspeakable beauty today when one of my coworkers called another coworker "judas" for not splitting a can of white monster with her, and i got to watch the guy who sits next to me open a new google tab, type in "jeudis," and say quietly to himself "french thursday...?"

You're not immune to being the bully btw. You're not immune to being in the wrong

"But i'm-" there is no identity or state of being that makes you immune to hurting someone. You can be convinced that you are in the right for doing so. You can be convinced that you're defending someone by doing so. You have always got to examine if you're taking pleasure in hurting someone or if you're actually doing something good.

At first I thought it was from 2010 because that’s when “Blogging for Dummies, 3rd Edition” was published, but then I noticed this smartphone ad:

Which looks really out-of-place for that period of time, so I realized I must have been looking at the wrong edition.

Then I looked at those trending tags up at the top of the screen. Computer, enhance image.

I didn’t watch house of the dragon but I knew it was a more recent show, so I could have used that to narrow it down. More useful however was the dual venice film festival tags, and the fact that one of them had “don’t worry darling” (which I surmised to be the name of a film) underneath it, so now I just had to find out when that film was shown at the venice film festival. Sure enough, it premiered on September 5th, 2022.

My next step was going to the post archive page for @important-animal-images, filtering the posts by “Photo” and tagged as “#cats,” and then flipping through to September 2022. Sure enough, the post was there!

And as one final mystery to solve, I looked up blogging for dummies by Amy Lupold Bair and found out that “Blogging All-In-One for Dummies, 3rd Edition” was published in April of 2023 and has this cover:

Which matches perfectly with the cover of the book that @dakotaqueen had in her original post!

i love seeing cardinals and bluejays together i’m always like “hehe.. evil siblings”

this is what i’m all about babyyyyy

They’re not even related. Jays are a type of corvid, like crows and magpies, and Cardinals are a grosbeak.

well you see, they are both birds and they both have fun hats. hope this helps
