Ojamajo doremi sketch from 2023

in school I used to wear fake glasses while doing writing assignments so that the teachers would think I was smarter and grade my tests higher (this actually worked, for the record)

this kind of backfired in a pavlovian way because now I literally have to put on a pair of glasses and activate Smart Mode when I write anything longer than a few paragraphs

it's just very fortunate that "I can't write without my glasses" is an honest statement that doesn't raise any eyebrows

adhd symptoms are always just mild enough to seem fake but just severe enough to make everyone on planet earth think you’re an asshole for having them. not a big fan of this paradox tbh

quick linguistic history lesson. the term “woke” originates from african american communities to describe being “awake and aware” of the current sociopolitical climate. this term has been used since at least the 1930s. it wasnt until 2014 during the ferguson protests that the term entered the wider vernacular. mainly as a result of black twitter. and as is common with many things coined by the black community. it was repeated and commercialized to death to the point where now most people only using it mockingly. including people on the left. the point is. “woke” is not a bad word. the alt right wants it to be one.

The amount of white girls with blonde hair and blue themes in Marvel Rivals is getting out of control.

THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME DAMMIT. LORD- matches are gonna be so confusing 💀

Be less blind.

If you can tell the difference between Invisible Woman, Dagger, and Emma Frost, that's all on you.

This was a joke 💀

Also you can't say those mfs don't all look the same.

It may be a joke but you’re speaking the truth, they basically do what Overwatch does with Widowmaker, they even have the same color scheme. These are all the same woman

Reblogging this again to add on to the fact that there’s a voice line where Dagger pokes fun at the fact that she and Emma look alike, the developers are aware that they all look alike, so if you get mad because they “don’t look alike” you’re actually wrong because they acknowledge this in game

"it's all in your head" correct! unfortunately I am also in there

little wayne

my dad had heart surgery yesterday so i called and asked how he was and he went "oh i am just wonderful, blossom" which is not something he has ever once called me in my entire life and then my brother who still lives at home took the phone and went "he's super high on painkillers. he keeps calling me 'old sport'" so apparently my father's true self talks like it's somewhere between 1925 and 1967

people have already talked about this but there is something so depressing about like....having a female character who's suffered unimaginable trauma and now her only character trait is Strong. she's so Strong and Powerful and that means she has Agency, right? right?

and like, well, no, not in and of itself??? like, you gave her trauma, DO something with it. don't just pay it lip service but then go "and now she's okay because she's so Strong and Can Fight or whatever". what even IS strength. are people who don't survive traumatic situations automatically weak by this logic? what are we doing here

love getting really into a book to the point where it affects the way i view the world around me. someone pissed me off today and my first thought was ‘well they wouldn’t survive the court of henry viii’

TRAP (2024) Deleted Scene —

I'd just like to clarify some things about Senator Cory Booker's marathon Senate speech in protest of the present administration and everything they are doing to the American people.

Senator Booker was NOT allowed to sit down, eat, or use the bathroom during his speech. Sitting or leaving the room to use the bathroom would be considered yielding the floor. Eating would have interfered with his speaking and the person who has the senate floor must continue to speak, except when listening to questions that they will then answer.

He only took occasional sips of water.

The person who previously held the record for longest speech on the Senate floor did have bathroom breaks and also did things like read from the encyclopedia.

Senator Booker did not do that. His speech was to point out the damage that this administration is doing and he stayed on that subject.

Senator Booker's speech did reach many people. It wasn't a silly stunt that was done so that he could take the record for longest speech. He wanted to show the country that democrats will do something to bring attention to the problems we are facing. That democrats are listening to them.

Senator Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours and 4 minutes to "make good trouble."

also like, a Black man breaking Strom Thurmond's record is absolutely *chef's kiss*

for those who are too young to know about Strom, he was literally a white supremacist

He trained himself to give this speech by practicing and then implementing limits on food and water intake leading up to this. He cut out food for days, then cut out water the day before.

He then went to do an appearance on Maddow after yielding.

Are you trapped on tumblr right now?

Is there something you planned to do before you got trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Are you yelling at yourself to get up and do the thing, but you can’t, because you’re trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Consider this your save point.

Put tumblr down, stand up, stretch, and go do the thing you planned to do. Future you will be incredibly grateful.

Things people in the notes have been able to do thanks to this post:

I need y’all to know that you’re doing amazing, and I’m so glad that I was able to help you break out of a procrastination loop you did not want to be stuck in.
