most tumblr jokes are utterly embarassing to say in public but today i said to someone “bold of you to assume i have dignity” and i won’t lie it was the most powerful I’ve felt in years

I was in the car with my family and my mom was talking about how much time she thinks “our generation wastes on the internet” or whatever. And I was explaining how I use the internet to read and curate more interests and hobbies and expand my social horizons etc. and she was just like “Well fine if that’s how you want to live. You can waste all your time on the internet if that’s what you want but I beg to differ” and without thinking I just said “then beg.” and the entire car went silent until we got home. it was the biggest power move i have ever made to date

A book crystallized in the ocean

oh mood

NO NO NO.

This was not crystallized by the ocean. People. No. This is why artist credit is SO DAMN IMPORTANT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE MISINFORMED HERE.

Alexis Arnold is an artist who creates crystallized books. Her work is amazing and beautiful, she’s made dozens of these.

This particular one was not made by her, however, it was actually created by Catherine McEver – who was inspired to try it after seeing a show of Alexis Arnold’s work. It’s literally the first picture on Google image results if you search for “crystallized books” and she posted about it on her blog showing other process shots as she made it.

TWO DIFFERENT WOMEN ARE BEING DEPRIVED OF CREDIT FOR THEIR CREATIVITY BECAUSE THIS FALSE INFORMATION IS BEING SPREAD. FUCK THAT.

Y’all is a terrific all-gender-inclusive word to address people! It’s not just a southern thing. 😊❤️

This may well be true. I can’t imagine it ever coming out of my mouth, alas. It may not be a southern thing, but I do not believe it to be an English thing.

So sad to hear you of all people trying to gate-keep the English language. Unless, of course, you’re referring only to your particular birth place and cultural heritage.

But if it’s a language thing, sorry (not sorry) to say that you’re fighting a long lost battle. Y’all is as English as “gerrymander” and it’s filling in a lost linguistic niche that most other languages already have and English used to have.

I’m completely lost on this one. Someone asked if I had used yall in a tag, I said I hadn’t. Someone else said I should as it wasn’t just southern. I said I couldn’t imagine me saying it, whether or not it was southern. And now I’m being accused of trying to gatekeep the language (?). I don’t see anywhere that I criticised “y’all”. It’s a word and I love words. But I get to choose my own spoken vocabulary, as do we all.

Guys. I believe he was making a distinction between “y’all” being Southern and his own English (as in the country) vocabulary. Not gatekeeping, just stating that “y’all” probably won’t come out of his mouth because, you know, he’s British.

Ffs.
