36 : I read : I write : I bake : I knit : I sometimes blog about nothing in particular : INFJ : Capricorn

I've mostly disappeared from all social media except Facebook and I keep it simply for the fact that it's my contact with 95% of the people I've known most of my life.

But I'm on big pain medication that makes me sleepy but unable to sleep and I popped on here for a minute. (My uterus and I parted ways Friday and they warned me it could make me emotional 🤣)

Nostalgia has me missing what tumblr used to be for me and the NA Brigade. I have so much love for the people I know/knew from that time. I hope everyone is doing well.

why does this have 32k notes? it’s just a picture of a knife in a ranch bottle, is there some unspoken joke that 32 thousand people share? what is going on here, i dont get it. it’s just a fucking picture of a knife in a ranch bottle. is there some spiritual connection people have to this picture? is there some ominous and mystical reasoning that this has 32 thousand notes? do people reblog this because it makes them look like some indie blogger? or is there just something funny to this? someone please explain

no one tell him

This is it, lads. The post that started us on this path 9 years ago.

I sure hope no one told him.

HAVE Z AND ALPHA NOT BEEN MADE AWARE? HAVE WE FAILED AT CONTINUING TO MEME THE HELL OUT OF IT? ARE WE, IN FACT, THE GRANDMAS BECAUSE WE ARE THE ANCIENT KEEPERS OF THE INCEST COFFEE KNOWLEDGE???

(If anybody is wondering “how could they write that and not anticipate the reaction?“ It’s because the sister was supposed to be much younger in the original draft. Like. An actual child. But they aged her up and never bothered changing the dialogue, so…)

It’s honestly not the writing or the age, or even the acting that screams “incest.”

It’s the directing and camera work. It’s specifically the long lingering gazes.

I’m begging you to read the oral history of this commercial. It features some banger quotes and also Timothy Simons, aka Jonah from Veep, who worked the camera for the auditions and callbacks.

Happy Folgers Incest Commercial season to all who celebrate!

It tickles me that the tweets are talking about Rose (Betty White) while the art shows Blanche (while Dorothy has a gentle meltdown at the desk, which I do love), because this actually was a point of contention in the show:

The slut is dead, long live the slut.

Dorothy, about Rose: She is the easiest woman in this room.

Blanche, deeply offended: Dorothy Zbornak, you take that back!

I love them. I love them so much.

Dorothy, about

Rose: She is the easiest

woman in this room.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

I haven't been on here consistently in years.

I miss what it used to be, I hate the Search feature because it doesn't actually search anything. (Legit everything I try, even tags I know I myself used - yield nothing)

I looked through the people I follow tonight and realize my memory is gone and I don't recognize half the names (I used to know who every person I followed was) and a lot of the users haven't been active in 5 to 8 years.

I hope the people I know and knew well know that I didn't mean to vanish. I hope the others who stopped posting are doing well.

My memory got absolutely wreaked by two pregnancies and two (possibly three) rounds of Covid. Nothing I can really do to help it unfortunately and a lot of my life is basically wiped from my mind. 🫠

Some things I think people are overlooking in the tiktok ban bill, because it's not just a tiktok ban:

  • It gives the US government to ban *any* app, website, or company they believe to be "controlled" by an "adversarial power" which can change whenever they want
  • It allows the President and the Administrative branch almost unilateral power to designate *any* app, website, or company to be under the control of an "adversarial power" (and just think about how thelat can be used un the hands of, say, Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis)
  • They have to offer little to no evidence for this. For example, tiktok - a Singaporean-headquartered and ran company, partially owned by US interests, incorporated in the Cayman Islands, and whose userdata is stored Austin, TX - is apparently controlled by the Chinese government
  • It also gives the Federal Government the ability to investigate and shut down any provider who gives access to these banned websites or services, including VPN. They will have unilateral power to dismantle VPNs through outrageous fines what will essentially force them to not operate in the US
  • A lot of the Congressional Representatives who supported this bill have large donors and/or stock in US Tech companies like Meta, Google, or Palantier who would benefit from the downfall of tiktok or the ability to purchase it and monopolize the market
  • Those same tech companies which sell our data constantly anyway, including to "adversarial powers"

This is so much more than just a tiktok ban.
