Uhh.

Can I please have some fat fat frogs please? I hope finding pictures of cute fat frogs will make you feel a bit better

Thinking about how wild it is that enshittification starts as a way for the rich to squeeze the populace for more money but ends up infecting everything so even luxury products decline in quality. They’ve got more money than fucking God now and for what? Literally they can’t even buy fun nice stuff for themselves because they killed craft.

Anyway this post is about Dhaka muslin but it’s also about everything.

The ancient fabric that no one knows how to make

Nearly 200 years ago, Dhaka muslin was the most valuable fabric on the planet. Then it was lost altogether. How did this happen? And can we

so im a very sentimental person. i very much like to keep memorabilia and keepsakes and stuff to remind me of certain occasions/events. at the same time, i don't very often experience occasions so special that i'd like to keep something from them. luckily, i don't need to experience anything to take clips of the stupid things me and my friends do/say in voice call.

so i take a lot of stupid clips. beyond the fact that the hotkey for recording the last 1 minute and 15 seconds of my computer activity is *very* easy to accidentally press, i take a lot of stupid clips that are much longer than they warrant being- the moment i wanted to clip was less than 10 seconds long, but the clip itself is a 1:15 long 1080p video. this leads to, rather large video file sizes.

i also have adhd. i am very bad at sticking with a monotonous task, especially one that pretty much enables constant distraction (i.e., cleaning out old clips by looking through them one by one to see which ones are worth keeping (for the record, none of them are very worth keeping in any objective sense. no one but me will ever see them.))

this leads to, this problem.

Posting my video on here from TikTok. It’s been a hot minute since I was active on this account but dang, this is where it all started 10+ years ago. I MISS Y’ALL 😭

Apparently a lot of people get dialogue punctuation wrong despite having an otherwise solid grasp of grammar, possibly because they’re used to writing essays rather than prose. I don’t wanna be the asshole who complains about writing errors and then doesn’t offer to help, so here are the basics summarized as simply as I could manage on my phone (“dialogue tag” just refers to phrases like “he said,” “she whispered,” “they asked”):

“For most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and don’t capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,” she said.

“But what if you’re using a question mark rather than a period?” they asked.

“When using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless it’s a proper noun!” she snapped.

“When breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,” she said, “use commas.”

“This is a single sentence,” she said. “Now, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so there’s no comma after ‘she said.’”

“There’s no dialogue tag after this sentence, so end it with a period rather than a comma.” She frowned, suddenly concerned that the entire post was as unasked for as it was sanctimonious.
