I made a post after seder about how I didn’t recognise any of the people there, and they thought I recognised them, and this is unfortunate because I basically didn’t meet anyone.

Unfortunately, not even siikr can find it anymore, so I can’t bring it back.

Anyway, I’m going to the Summer Solstice event today. If you want to meet me, please walk up to me and say who you are. I’d be happy to meet you! However, if you don’t do this, I will never recognise you. Never. We could have spoken for a year and exchanged pictures and been FB friends. I will N E V E R recognise you, because I am as faceblind as can be.

If you approach me and talk to me without introducing yourself, I will pretend to know you, because that’s the least awkward thing to do. I will not actually recognise you. You will probably think I did. Then I will go home and think “I wish I’d gotten to meet [person]”, because I will have NO IDEA that was you.

So, people, PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF. This happened with like TWENTY PEOPLE when I was at the seder. PLEASE do not allow it to happen again.

heres the realest shit ever: literally no one is going to pressure you to do drugs in high school

literally no one

Am I right in thinking that if a change-your-password screen objects when I  change my password to something the same as the old password but for one character (password1 -> password2, or similar), because they want me to create a password dissimilar from previous passwords, then they’re doing something horribly wrong? Or is there some secure way to check that?

whenever I see people talk about how the idea of institutionalized racism is UNFAIR BLAMING OF WHITE MEN and COLLECTIVE GUILT, I always wonder how they’ll react to “some of the things you own were made or grown by slaves” or “if you skipped your last vacation and donated the money instead you would have saved a child’s life” or “your actions have resulted in the torture of several hundred animals”

it seems to me wise, given the nature of the world, to figure out a way to be okay with yourself even though you’ve done wrong things and you are a member of a group who has done wrong things and even if you improve you will probably never be able to stop doing wrong things. if your sense of self-worth is based on never having done something wrong then the only way you can maintain your self-worth is through outright denial

The fact that trying to italicise a word that begins with ‘w’ but failing to pull my finger off the ctrl key in time has killed about 5% of all the effort posts I’ve ever written is a major quality of life drain and Tumblr needs to stop being terrible and either save your work or warn if you’re closing a tab with writing.

Without corporate blogs none of you would know when to stop running memes into the ground
