Matt Mullenweg is now sexually harassing Avery on Twitter for posting a selfie and the caption “too hot for tumblr”

what the actual fuck is he doing. where those were sw accounts this is not just completely inappropriate harassment but potentially outing. so fucking far beyond what he was already doing to follow her there.

also noting that he's changed his focus since nobody thought the screenshot of the threat was valid (and i have had multiple ex-staff confirm that it's not against tos, btw). this kind of info should never be dug up and put out there by a ceo having a tantrum, christ alive

What’s with the euphemisms of rock n roll French fries or cheeseburgers in paradise? Are they that any different from regular French fries and cheeseburgers? Is there some other rock n roll food euphemisms I don’t know about?

very much an off the cuff question, and not one i'm even sure if you'll be able to answer but i'm wondering what tipped you off to figuring out you're autistic. i keep getting these weird nagging feelings that i might be, and a lot of "symptoms" keep lining up for me. i'm definitely some form of ND, but i don't have any actual diagnoses or anything so i can't add much in that area. basically it boils down to.. idk that i could get an actual diagnoses for a good period of time but is there any way to be kinda mostly sure?

Honestly? It was the fact that I realized having extremely self-destructive meltdowns was not actually something that all of my peers experienced, and when I realized that not everyone else had to write down entire lists of social cues and verbal indicators and body language. Once I realized those things, everything else kind of slipped into place like:

-I hate looking people in the eyes. It is physically painful for me.

-I stim/fidget constantly (I was also diagnosed with ADHD at a young age so I always accredited it to that, but I realized that what I classed as fidgeting was actually just how I let out/expressed emotion)

-I dreaded people giving me gifts/ giving me bad news/basically any situation where I knew that emotion was expected, because in my natural state I am very monotone, but have become extremely good at forcing the emotions I've learned that other people expect in those situations (i.e masking)

-Loud noises, crowds, and bright lights make me feel like I'm going to scream and kick and bite and just go feral.

-I have four obsessive interests that I cycle through, all of which are connected by my obsession with psychology. I also struggle greatly with listening to/caring about what other people are talking about if it's not related to my special interests or hyperfixations.

There's a bunch of other stuff, but those are the big ones that come to mind. The biggest advice I can give to you is: Write everything down that you think might be a symptom. Because I can almost promise you, if you're asking other people/googling it, etc. that it means you're definitely the thing you're asking about. I genuinely hope that you can figure it out, and my ask box is always open if you have any other questions!

has tony watched breaking bad

Not at all. A bit hard watching shows for mature people when your daughter insists on watching Disney Plus.

Mayhaps some Zosan featuring little chopper, maybe they’re fighting but then chopper gets sad so now they’re all just hanging out to appease the little babey!!!

this is how i imagine they ended up like this:

What do you think the chances are that Mud Pit is gonna be ousted by the people who need Automattic to have good will in the eyes of the community to actually get anything out of this site and wattpad

I know it’s probably low but the fact that he’s acting like a poorer Elon Musk is making my skin crawl and making me hope that a second lawsuit hits the company

ok here's the thing. he is meant to be on sabbatical. automattic gives employees a three-month paid sabbatical every 5 years, so that they can have a break from the product they work on and come back rested and with a new perspective.

matt has never taken one before now. he spent the entire leadup to his sabbatical posting increasingly wild shit in public channels at the company (like the chess thing, or trying to get people to buy a friend's product, or the entire fracas with taking over the wordpress.org twitter account. wordpress.org is an independent non-profit that he is not the ceo of).

i mention this because people were hoping (including me) that he really would actually log off, have a chill time (or, idk, whatever kind of time CEOs who go off the grid bc they got flooded in at burning man like to have), and let the interim CEO get a chance to do a better job. that would help the board make a decision based on data.

he was very clearly spiraling before he even left, and then within the first few days of Company Sanctioned Log Off Time he's pulled multiple Classic Matt things on multiple parts of the company before showing up here. this whole thing is so deeply unfunny but it also is a bit of a tom and jerry or looney tunes bit, where i can only imagine HR or Legal is chasing him around the various accounts/platforms with a comically large inflatable baseball bat and he's just evading them.

he can't do that in person, but he still gets a lot of leeway generally. at the last division meetup (irl meeting for employees, flown from all over the world) he showed up twitchy and exhausted and hyped in a way that was very familiar to me from flatmates who used to steal and snort my adhd medication, then proceeded to drink so much over the course of an evening answering questions from his employees that he had to be firmly babysat off the stage and walked back into the lobby of the hotel to sober up.

i made eye contact with him that night, before he dropped his head back into his hands. two people relatively high up in the company were sitting with him, silently watching him as he struggled to sober up. it wasn't the first drunk shenanigan of his i witnessed at one of these, and this is purely opinion but i have to assume that his current behavior is the result of suddenly having time on his hands to have the world's longest bender and post through it.

back to your question: i do not know if what he's done is enough to get the board to remove him. i wish it didn't have to come to this to hope that they will. but we'll find out.

Winslow! Is there a story behind your crooked clock hand? Or has it always been that way? Either way, it’s really cute!!

Winslow: Tony still feels a little bad about it.

[asdhmis]

Seems like it was on purpose. 🤨

I feel like SnB’s diet during your peak years are sex, drugs, groupies, alcohol, cheesy porn, drugs, more drugs, more sex, more groupies, music, coke and did I mention groupies? I think it applies to a lot of rock bands during the 80s.

Mostly. I mean you don't really need porno when you're surrounded by tits and dicks like, all the time.

There was food in there at some point, too.
