consider: teenagers aren’t apathetic about everything they’re just used to you shitting all over whatever they show excitement about
#throwback to That One Patron who always gave backhanded compliments to me for being 'not like other millennials'#bro was a college professor and one of those 'alas no one appreciates READING the CLASSICS anymore' types#did not know how to explain to him that it's not that his students aren't capable of engaging with Art or having Deep Thoughts#it's that his attitude guarantees that none of them want to talk to him about anything important#when you start off your dialogue with a bold declaration that the other person couldn't POSSIBLY appreciate or understand xyz#don't be surprised when they immediately check out of the conversation or (better yet) 'ok boomer' you#(also. 'Good' is subjective. and imo some of the classics aren't that Good. they're valuable sure#but good writers never went away and it's silly to pretend that modern writers can't also produce 'classics'#and that the 'classics' are unassailable or the arbiter of culture.#plus. curricula that centers the western classics usually lack diversity bc of what we deem a classic SO#tl;dr the kids are alright; don't be an asshole; and i don't like wuthering heights)#long post

I'm not Catholic but I have a list of questions I need answered immediately, in no particular order:
Will this be the first pope to know what a hoagie is? (He went to Villanova, which means he spent a lot of time in Delco, so he must know, right?)
How would he personally describe the taste of Malört? (He's from Chicago, so there's a good chance he's tried it, right?)
Does he know of Gritty? (Corollary: Which of the deadly sins does Gritty most embody? I think it's between pride and wrath, but I would love a papal ruling on the matter.)
Which flavor of unhinged local pride does he prefer: Philly's "the greased light poles are a challenge and hitchhiking robots must be destroyed" energy or Chicago's "we reversed the flow of an entire river in a historic feat of civic engineering and the whole state of Missouri can die mad about it" can-do attitude?
#haven't posted in months but i'm procrastinating on a paper due at midnight#which has awakened my dormant need to waste time on tumblr

Feature ideas I have to make tumblr worse
Unfollow notifications. When someone unfollows you, you receive a notification about it. The notification includes the last post of yours that the unfollower saw so you know what the final straw was.
If the unfollower was a mutual then this notification comes with stats about how long you were mutuals and a list of comutuals who have to pick sides in the divorce. The comutuals receive this notification too
Ability to edit other people's replies.
Ability to edit other people's blog themes.
The ability to gift debuffs like those cooking competition shows. Pay $15 to make someone you hate only be allowed to post 20 times a day. Pay $30 and they can only make posts out of the set of pre-approved family-friendly message options like the Webkinz chatroom.
De-blaze. Halt someone else's post right in its tracks by removing all impressions. The more a post is circulating the more expensive this is.
30 Day Trial Follows. When you follow someone you can't unfollow them for at least 30 days because c'mon, don't you wanna at least give them a chance?
Obligatory "Tumblr houses". You have to act really really excited for the yearly sportsball tournament or risk being shadowbanned. Your blog is forcibly themed after your Tumblr house.
Obligatory name, face, and address when you sign up. This isn't for verification or anything this is explicitly for doxxing. Hopefully you'll think twice about posting your rancid My Little Pony take now that you know the whole fandom can be at your doorstep in an hour.

For those not tapped into Australian politics, King Charles is in Australia to conduct his "historic first tour to the commonwealth realm" i.e visting countries that King Charles is supposedly a monarch to.
Indigenous senator Lidia Thorpe had requested an audience with King Charles for weeks prior to this visit, she wrote countless letters to speak to him. Unlike other commonwealth nations and other former Brisitish colonies, a treaty with Indigenous peoples in Australia was never formed. Their land was never ceded to the British Crown. After being denied and ignored, Lidia Thorpe, draped in a traditional possum skin cloak, stormed in the Great Hall during the reception for Charles at Parliament House in the capital shouting the following:




I literally can't even look at these photos without getting goosebumps.

people always talk about evil clones like oooh a dark mirror oohh what if you saw what are cruel person you were/are capable of becoming. and well yes but what if you were the evil clone. what if you looked in the mirror and what you saw was so bright it blinded you. what if you had to know exactly how good you could have been.
