Me: There's a Tumblr holiday coming up soon.
My mom: Oh?
Me: The Ides of March.
Mom: ...???
Me: ...Do you know what that is?
Mom: Yeah... I just don't get why it's being celebrated?
Me: It's like a cat sitting inside a box -- we don't know why we do it, something inside us just tells us we should.

Story time!: How my godfather came out to my mom when they were in uni (or tried to, lol)
The setting: Brazil, 1980s
My Godfather: Guess what? I'm in love! :D
My Mom: Yaaay! What's his name, do I know him? :D
My Godfather: *vinyl scratch sound* Wait, what?
My Mom: What what?
My Godfather, coming to a realization: YOU KNEW?!
My Mom: WELL, YEAH! I THOUGHT YOU KNEW I KNEW!
My Godfather: HOW WOULD I KNOW YOU KNEW WHEN I DIDN'T KNOW! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?! IT WOULD HAVE SAVED ME SO MUCH TIME!!!

had a fucking hilarious dream that tumblr replaced the "block" function with the far funnier "glock" function, which did the exact same thing except whenever anyone blocked you a random bullet hole, like a png of a bullet hole, would appear on your blog. discourse blogs were unreadable bc you'd go to the page and the sheer amount of bullet hole pngs stacked over the blogs obscured everything. I woke myself up laughing
#normally I don't chronicle my dreams here but fucking hell that one was funny#I think this would genuinely make tumblr better tbh#@ staff do this cowards#spy has thoughts#my life is a sitcom and i am my own laugh track#functional website#spy's smash hits#Glock function#edit for everyone in the notes saying 'everyone clapped'#I know I can't prove to you that it happened for real you're just gonna have to trust me on this#but I swear on my goddamn life I'm not making this up#I make so many conscious puns that sometimes my subconscious cooks up a real good one

Percy at ease
Percy calm, but a little on edge
Percy when mildly angry
Friendly reminder that Percy jackson - our beloved silly adorable seaweed brain - is absolutely terrifying. When he’s angry, when he’s scared, when he’s on edge - he’s not warm and fuzzy.
No other character gets that reaction from people. Jason (the sweetie) is perceived as calm and in control, nico (our favorite self-outcasted outcast) is perceived as solemn and creepy, reyna (girlboss queen slay) is perceived as confident and assertive, and annabeth (our girl) is perceived as fierce, clever, and formidable. They are all intimidating to an extent.
But not like Percy. No. Becasue even when he’s at ease, he’s described as wild and disobedient. And when he’s not at ease, even if just little bit, he’s perceived as powerful, dangerous, and scary. Someone who NOBODY wants to mess with. Nobody even questions his power. One look from him has literal gangs running the other way. One look from him has Leo so scared that he’s literally shaking, and feeling the same innate fright and alarm that he does when jason summons an ear-piercing, earth-shaking, deadly bolt of lighting.
like… HELLO??? can we all just sit on that for a moment?? good lord
One angry look from percy has people thinking one thing: Run.
Percy is, canonically, the character that people find the most frightening and intimidating.
And unless he’s in a good mood - which you better hope he is - the reality is that most of us would be completely terrified of him if we met him.
#don’t fuck with perseus jackson#dude is not playing around#well#he is playing around 90% of the time#but don’t mess with him when he’s not#i love him#he’s terrifying#in reality i’d probably be scared of him in real life lol#percy my love#and don’t go yelling at me that people are most scared of nico because hazel specifically stated in SoN that at first sight#nico is not a scary person#but frank does say nico gives him the creeps#heroes of olympus#percy jackson#percabeth#percy jackson and the olympians#pjo#annabeth chase#nico di angelo#jason grace#reyna ramirez arellano#mark of athena#son of neptune

Hi @todaysbird, these are mallards, right?
According to my mom, the birds on the top pic were waddling around on the ice.
Seen in Calgary, AB, Canada on February 17 2024.
I'm fairly certain these guys are not supposed to be back this early.

As a children's librarian, people who harass fans of Harry Potter indiscriminately really worry me.
Here's why.
1. The majority of Harry Potter fans are children.
I've had people call me disgusting and scum and an embarrassment to my disabled community. I've been suicide baited and have received death threats. All of this can be heavy enough stuff for an adult to deal with.
And then I think of how most of my 700+ elementary-aged students are huge Harry Potter fans. Because, you know, Harry Potter is a children's series. And they also have access to the internet and social media like TikTok and YouTube.
Now imagine the stuff that's been said to me being said to a kid. Because Harry Potter's main audience are KIDS.
2. This black-and-white mentality isn't healthy.
Very few things in life are cut-and-dry good vs bad. And if you employ this kind of thinking in one area of your life, odds are you'll apply it to other areas too(more on that in a moment).
And people who go out of their way to harass people who like Harry Potter don't seem to particularly care about any context beyond "If you like Harry Potter in any way whatsoever you're scum".
It hasn't mattered when I've pointed out that I absolutely and unequivocally think Rowling's TERF views are awful and scummy and wrong. It hasn't mattered that I try my best to consume the content only in ways that won't monetarily support her, (which kids typically can't do, btw). It hasn't mattered that it's literally in my job description to keep up with children's media to procure content for my patrons as well as to be able to hold conversations with them.
3. Saying "You're not allowed to read this without being harassed" is no different from saying a book should be banned.
This is ironic, seeing as the people doing the harassing are also often up in arms about queerphobic and racist book bans (as they should be) while demanding book bans of their own.
Because in their all-or-nothing way of thinking, book bans are only bad when the "bad" people do it.
No. Book bans are always bad, no exceptions.
Book bans aren't bad because they're banning the "good" books, they're bad because banning access to different ideas is always bad. Because every book has a lesson to teach us (perhaps not the lesson intended by the author, but a lesson nonetheless).

It absolutely sets my teeth on edge when gringos refer to Carnaval as "Carnival".
It's not a carnival, it's one of the holidays in my culture (which has nothing to do with carnivals), and it has a name.
You don't get to make up another name for it because you feel like it.

Saw this at the church where I went to vote earlier this year and it makes me think that they're putting Jesus in a hippie MRI or something.

Random Fact #6,369
Calling sea stars “starfish” really bugs marine biologists, because they aren’t fish.
Source: When my Grade 9 class spent a week at Bamfield Marine Research Station off the coast of Vancouver “Don’t call sea stars ‘starfish’ because they’re not fish” was one of the first rules we were given.
