Harp the Wigglytuff @wigglytuffitout@computerfairi.es

so i got a usb keyboard because several keys are wanting to fuck off on my laptop and i'm tired of having to stick on the D key every time i try to use it, and just kinda. stuck it on top. because i don't have the money to have a tech replace the keyboard proper on my lappertopper right now.

but anyway

it has a rainbow backlight and clacky keys and i feel enormously important now with clacky keys

it's like keys that go clack are a +20 buff to Important Business Things Happening

this vintage pulp novel is probably absolutely fucking shit, but that's some really good cover art lmao

cw'd for eye contact

also, this thai fashion lookbook from 1968 - i would honestly wear half of this stuff y'all (especially if i could get a modern set of colors in lol) (like the last pic's dress that has the colorblock thing going on? yeah i'd wear that, if you could give it to me in colors other than 'hamburger brown, ketchup red, mustard yellow', for sure) https://www.flickr.com/photos/inkvision/1340295595/

stumbled into browsing a tumblr full of vintage shit and honestly this 1930's lady is just how i'm trying to be this summer (https://www.flickr.com/photos/epiclectic/48124941342/ for full source)

i just have a real good catgrill okay

happy catgrill o'clock

cw'd for some shadowbringers spoilers i guess if you consider the inside of the inn room is spoilers?

this image is slightly hornier than i remember but i feel like it makes the meme even sillier so i'm here for it

anyway, so this is how my weekend is gonna go,

i hasten to add, you don't have to like pasta sauce

it's also sometimes good to shout in the pasta sauce aisle if you're saying something like "hey guys don't eat that pasta sauce there's ground-up glass in it, it's not safe"

but like

if you just don't like pasta sauce

i'm not sure why you gotta shout that at people who are there browsing the pasta sauce in the pasta sauce aisle.

just don't be a jerkwad

idk man it's probably over politeness but i don't get tagging negativity?

if you have genuine information that's one thing, but it's like going to the supermarket to stand in the pasta sauce aisle that's marked 'pasta sauce' in order to loudly state how you fuckin hate pasta sauce.

like... great??? fantastic?? what outcome are you expecting with this exactly? everyone going "omg i see the light, i also hate this thing" just cos you don't like it??? JUST LET ME BUY MY PASTA SAUCE

"muting # thistag was the best thing i've ever done on mastodon"

ok but why'd you have to then go make this post in the tag. the tag where people go to see and enjoy things relating to the content you don't want to see. are you just passive-aggressively bragging that you don't like other people enjoying things in a weird guilt trip or what. why was there any need to actually tag that post, you fucken boorish galooph

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz (galaxy brain) homestuck is just cats for people who watch gaming videos on youtube

@aradinfinity @eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz ok but are we talking "ribbed for her pleasure" level barbs, or are we talking "they slice! they dice! they even julienne fries!" level barbs

...

who am i kidding, even if it's not my thing, i'd still go get mutilated

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz i mean i can't even criticize

there's a lot you'd have to do to idris elba to make him unfuckable and hollywood's bad idea of a fursuit is not enough to deter me either

we choose the devil we know over the angel we don't because change is terrifying. but also don't be surprised when these things make you worse and worse and sicker and sicker.

and be mindful that sometimes these communities, memes, and jokes can go beyond gallows humor and become cages for people, dooming them to get worse and worse as they are trapped in those thoughts.

be mindful of how you hurt yourself, and how you hurt others, with this.

constantly running those thoughts through your mind, even in small ways, is going to make those mental ruts deeper and deeper. it is going to make it even more difficult if not impossible to truly get better, to cope effectively, and to actually survive.

i understand having the occasional bad day. but when everything you do and everything you are online is pointed to the one purpose of making your mental illness worse... well... you're in for a bad time.

i understand the pain of needing a cri de coeur, but you know what's a good way to make your mental illness worse?

constantly posting about how you wish you were dead, how you hate being alive, etc., and making that an integral part of your identity down to your username so that it is always going to be part of your content.

you cannot dig your way out of that hole, folks. it's not going to work.

that's a roommate! not someone you signed up to co-parent with! this 8 year old harassing you while you try to do laundry is not something you need to go read books about in order to parent him! AS YOU AIN'T HIS PARENT! tag his actual parent the fuck in on this!

WHY WAS THAT NOT THE FIRST RESPONSE. why did the response OR letter not mention this child's actual parents AT ALL.

tbh it stinks of "nearest woman assumes all childcare duties" bullshit

i realize that reading advice columns is mostly for the fun of pointing out when they're wrong, but

"dear slate.com parenting column, i, a single woman uninterested in having kids, recently moved in to share a house where one of my roommates has an 8 year old boy. he constantly follows me around critiquing my every move. is this a normal phase? what strategies should i use to teach him?"

me: listen it takes a village and all that but your strategy should be HEY ROOMIE, ABOUT YOUR SON...
