Starting To Suspect That Tech Bros Actually Just Don’t Know What Reading Is

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Look buddy, i’m just trying to make it to Friday.

genuinely is my brain erasing itself or is google/tumblr censoring that post about notre dame and old growth forests.

i dont think i posted these but here i made a little frog pattern to make tiny frog toys with my grandma

this is the first lil guy I made while still learning how i should sew it

the reason you're meant to read from a bunch of different sources and attempt to interpret and discuss them in school btw is bc your reading comprehension is based on your ability to discern different and varied meanings in a text

like some ppl on socmed wilfully misinterpret text and so many others entirely lack this critical skill and rely on tiktokers and youtubers to explain sentences to them and in the absence of someone to explain they just entirely go off their own projected vibes and make shit up

like it's. honestly frightening and bizarre, the takes i regularly see, that are so far beyond a "bad faith reading" and are literally not a reading. someone just saw three words they recognised, imagined a scenario they might be used in instead of reading the post, then got MAD

Stuff kids on tumblr better relearn

1. You are responsible for your own media experience. 

2. There is such a thing as a healthy level of avoidance towards topics that make you feel unwell or even (in a real-life clinical definition of the term) trigger you - but you are the one to actively take care of what you view.

3. Avoiding does not mean policing others.

4. You have no right to tell artists to censor themselves - you may criticize what others do, you may dislike it, that’s fine - but actively asking for censorship when you could easily unfollow or block a person just makes you look incompetent in your use of the internet.

5. Do not give people on tumblr or /any/ website the responsibility for your emotional well-being. Because these people do not even know you so no, you have no right to ask them to take care of you.

HEY TUMBLR! I DESPERATELY WANT TO DESTROY SOMEONE IN AUSTRALIA!

SOMEONE STOLE MY BEST FRIEND'S $2000 EBIKE IN BROAD DAYLIGHT AND GOT AWAY WITH IT

HELP THEM GET A NEW ONE

The details: One of my best friends in the entire world, @takenbynumbers, has been having a rough time lately. Their birthday is on the 10th, but the last couple months have been complete hell—and then today someone stole their ebike from where it was locked up right outside their place of work, in the lot, in front of the doors, in broad fucking daylight.

Nobody saw anything. All that was left was their extremely hefty lock, which was sliced to nothing, and their helmet.

They need this bike to get around, first and foremost, but also it's an integral tool in retaining their literal physical mobility, as it's a low-impact exercise that helps stave off the deterioration of their hips due to a hereditary condition. A police report has been filed, but that's not likely to go anywhere—these things are never recovered.

If you're going "wait a second, didn't one of your friends have an ebike stolen a couple years ago?" you are correct! This is the same friend! Last time someone broke into the locked secure storage cage at the apartment complex where lived and stole it in the middle of the night—they got a lock to make sure that couldn't happen again, and THIS TIME SOME JACKASS USED BOLT CUTTERS!

I AM SO FUCKING MAD BUT I AM IN THE WRONG HEMISPHERE TO ENACT REVENGE

If we can raise enough to get them a new one it would be the best birthday present in the world. External links deboost posts all over the net, so PLEASE signal boost this if you can. Everything helps.

So I guess we have a canon feralnette?

Incorrect, unless she's got headbang hair and abs that's not a feralnette

where to start reading green lantern from a humble gl reader [who truth be told isn't an expert AT ALL]:

*the purpose of this list is to provide several places to get you excited about some of the green lanterns you will get to know, so you feel it's worth it to invest your time into reading longer arcs/books. this is not meant to be an exhaustive list as "every single good green lantern story in existence"

mosaic world (green lantern (1990) #14-17 + green lantern mosaic (1992) #1-18; a guardian of the universe, driven mad by loneliness, kidnaps john stewart and begins terraforming oa by kidnapping entire cities from planets all across the galaxy)

emerald twilight (green lantern (1990) #48-50; origin of parallax. you can get away with not knowing the death of superman because of doomsday in the 1990s, but it provides a lot of context regarding why coast city specifically)

green lantern: circle of fire (2000) [reading order found here; the world is attacked by a mysterious figure known as oblivion, can kyle, along with other green lanterns from divergent timelines, defeat him]

green lantern corps: recharge (2005) #1-5 [i know i know it's written by geoff johns and this is following hal's "redemption arc" but there are legitimately good kyle & guy & kilowog moments in this limited series; as well as the first appearance of soranik, a doctor from korugar, struggling between her duty to her patients as a doctor and her duty to protect the greater community if she accepts the power ring]

the omega men (2015) #1-12 [this is a controversial pick, but i do stand by it because it offers a surprisingly thoughtful critique of the military industrial complex and how even after kyle telling his experiences on vega to the general, he still lauds him as a hero, oblivious to what kyle is trying to say. in my mind this is one of the better written stories of kyle as the white lantern]

far sector (2021) [a 12 issue mini-series featuring sojourner mullien, as much a detective as she is a gl, solving a murder that threatens the harmony of the planet she's stationed on]
