Oscar Wilde: Friends, acquaintances and enemies

A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies.” —Oscar Wilde.

see, i think boops should be a forever feature BUT i also think they should be limited as a forever feature (rather than a one day gimmick, where going balls to the wall makes more sense) so you can only do two or three per hour. not because i mind the boop spam (its great) but bc the IDEAL version of the feature would make it so you can tell your friends and mutuals and such "im saying hi ^_^" and if there are too many the message will be harder to get across. however i do think on april fools unlimited boops should be allowed, even in conjunction with future gimmicks. thats my opinion.

our sacred tumblr boop vs their vile facebook poke

i understand that new features are almost always going to be jarring just by being a change from what im used to and this does not mean they are inherently bad but also oh good lord these new nested replies are like insanely ugly

[derpinette]

there should be a poke feature here like there used to be on facebook

i feel like the digital world has become completely uninhabitable in the last 6 months and if i didn't have tumblr i would be crying in a corner pointing a fork threateningly at anyone passing by

🔥 on reddit fundie snark (any/all subs)

anyone who's been around for a minute can probably guess where I'll go with this one lol but I think my biggest beef with fundie snarkers on reddit is the focus on shit that just does not matter....... it's just riddled with things like body/looks shaming, parent shaming, poverty shaming, and sometimes it feels like people there almost WANT awful things to happen to fundies,if that makes sense. like sure, sometimes it is important to call out bad parenting choices, but maybe it's stupid to throw a fit over the brand of high chair this person is using, y'know?

And I think if you asked some of the worst ones why they do it they would tell you something like "to spread awareness about the dangers of Christian fundamentalism" and really believe that, when it's like girl be so for real........ your comment history is just you talking about how poor the Rodrigues kids look on any given day. How is that bringing awareness to anything??

Idk I think a lot of people are attracted to snarking as a whole because they're looking for an outlet to vent frustrations, prejudices, insecurities, etc etc, and fundies are a particular gold mine because it's very easy to justify being awful to them and it just clogs up the legitimate discourse. And it's not everyone even on reddit obv, there are definitely many decent people with genuine interest and good takes, but it makes it hard for me to participate in fundie reddit a lot without feeling kind of icky.

And it certainly makes it hard to be taken seriously when then ARE legitimate concerns, because if you try to sound the alarm on something dangerous that say, Karissa Collins is doing, she has an endless supply of frivolous threads on fundie reddit to point at to be like "see they just hate me no matter what i do".

Just wanted to give a quick happy birthday to one of my best friends @angelicrosee

I hope you have a fantastic day and you feel ur bones cracking from ur age. I swear to god If you don't end today with your legs collapsing in on itself like a university students first architecture project then the universe has not done its job.

In all seriousness, she's amazing. She's the reason I got into Hellsing and started writing.

my neighbors are freaking out about how "unsecure" our neighborhood group platform is so we're moving it to...discord. because someone's kid is a "cybersecurity expert" and says it's safer.

It seems like people are happy about this status update. This reminds me of old Facebook.
