men commenting on women's workout videos:

YOU STUPID WOMAN!!! None of these exercises are going to to do ANYTHING! In fact, unless you eat salads, you're going to get FAT no matter how much you exercise! 😡

men commenting on other men's workout videos:

wow sir, great video. very respectfully, which specific muscles do these exercises work? perhaps you could post more videos, at different angles and more close up...that way I can see all the details of how your body moves and flexes during your set?

when you grow up reading Jane Austen and wanting a man like in one of her books, only to realize you've become one of the men in her books, due to your tendency to use formal language when trying express things without being awkward.

telling my fiancee I want to take them on a fancy dinner after I get my bonus like "i find that I shall shortly have more funds than usual at my disposal. I should very much like to take you out to a fancy dinner at an establishment of your choosing...if that is something that strikes your interest" lol and they're just like "sure 😊 sounds fun!"

turns out my fiancee (who is also chronically online, just into different stuff) has never heard of people calling her Bo Karen. so I got to make them die laughing earlier when they complained about how boring they found the Mandalorian S3. "She even kinda has a Karen haircut!!!"

having the kind of asexuality where you only really think about sex while you're ovulating has me synpathizing with the vulcans bro. Especially since actually becoming sexually active. Feels like I've got a monthly pon farr dude I want to bite things

you ever briefly come across some drama on tiktok and you can only be grateful it's on there and not on Tumblr, because you just know that if it was on here several communities would be up in arms, and you'd have to scroll past novel-length posts full of wild assumptions and... interesting takes? yeah.

EARNEST POSTING. while everyone is still working on new year’s resolutions i want to make sure everyone knows about the FREE serial reader app.

if you are trying to read more classics/public domain works but for whatever reason struggle with incorporating reading into your daily life, or you’re just intimidated by huge books, serial reader is a great tool to make reading more approachable. it works much like dracula daily in that it sends you one excerpt at a time (usually about 10-15 minutes of estimated reading time). awesome for commutes, lunch breaks, quick bedtime story, etc.

it’s very customizable. you can change fonts, themes, and you can even take notes and highlight. you can also sync with other reading apps like goodreads (no storygraph yet……. we can hope!). the base app is completely free, but there is a one-time optional upgrade fee of $2.99 USD if you want some extra features. this is all developed by one guy, so the money goes to supporting the creator - although i’m sure apple takes their cut 😑.

there are a ton of works to choose from, currently something like 800+.

you can now also add your own .epubs to break up your own books into daily serials! very cool, serial reader!

this was the best app i added last year so i just want to pass it on. happy reading! :)

the devil works hard, but the moderator of my city's foodie FB group who calls people who post negative restaurant experiences "whiny crybabies", and also gets mad when people claim there are too many negative posts in the group, works harder

everyone should watch monkey man. if only to see a couple hours of dev patel being covered with blood and tormented by visions (and also a trans ally)

heartbreaking: you come across a post that rubs you the wrong way bc someone is saying they're thinking about blazing their posts despite the "morons" who might not like it, then you realize that someone is a person you follow on tiktok bc they make interesting content

microdosing rebelling against my family (clapping back with "I'm a grown woman and I do what I want" in response to my brother taking offense at an Instagram meme I posted and sending me a whole sermon)

not amusing considering the circumstances, more like tonal whiplash/this emoji 🫨

seeing someone say that a creator has been exposed as a bad person, so you go to the creator's tag to search for the latest posts for more information about the situation, and all you see is some random blog posting a variety of pride flags overlaid with an image of said creator on it...

starting a list of random things I weirdly enjoy/find amusing about the Tumblr experience ™️. will update as I think of more things.

starting off strong: when u see an innocuous, enjoyable post about say, an art piece, and you go in the notes to see other people express their appreciation, only to find the op is randomly biting people's heads off.
