few things anger me more than being told I shouldn’t use a perfectly good word with the exact meaning I intend to convey. someone told me not to use “apotheosis” once because some people might have to look up what it means & to this day I hope she chokes
many years ago I was told I was uppity for saying “retrieve” instead of “get.” in that moment I found my jihad
I actually do think it’s better for abusers and abusive characters to realize the harm their past actions caused and seek to do better than be literally or metaphorically executed for their crimes

amazon has a microjob site called “Mechanical Turk” which is so astonishingly on the nose that I kind of respect it. Just straight up “hey you know that story about the chess-playing robot that was actually just controlled by a guy? That famous symbol of how ‘automation’ is sometimes just a cover story for making labor invisible? That’s you. You are the guy sitting in the box making the robot play chess. We’re calling it MTurk to make it sound hip and modern.” Like, at least they’re admitting it?
It also lets us look at ‘automated’ services and say to each other “they’re definitely turkin’ it”.
and by “it,” haha, well, let’s just say “FLSA loopholes”
we transmitted the entirety of allrecipes.com into the brain of a dog and now he’s an okay chef. like the food is passable
like i guess i should’ve tempered my expectations a bit because 1. he’s a dog and 2. allrecipes has some truly vile recipes on it but like. all of it. the whole website. idk i just expected more
well you see the dog has the entire website in his brain so he kind of just has the good ones And the bad ones and since he’s a dog he also doesn’t really know the difference. so maybe you should consider all of that the next time you rudely insult my dog who is an average quality chef
writing is so funny because i could write nonstop for 9hrs and then hit a block where im like “how do i transition between this moment and the next?” and then i just dont touch it for 6 months
Me: *Removes my cat from my lap to do something else.*
My cat: Father is…evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.
the postal service names their shit exactly like how a 16 y.o. names angsty fanfic
Explain.
try and tell me literally any one of these would not fit above a short story about two wholly random men from the MCU fingering each other, or possibly 12 chapters of one or more characters from a CW show being in high school while having a photogenic but terminal kind of cancer. try.
ok so i want to say in hindsight i think i could probably have been clearer
