According to my little sister, 10 years after I graduated high school, the graffiti my friends and I wrote in every single bathroom (ZOOT BE PRAISED - POWER AND CHAOS) was still being replaced every time the school cleaned it or painted over it, even though by that point not one kid at the school knew the reference. That was 2012, but I hope it's still there.

I had a female high school student who very vocal about her opposition to pre-marital s*x, suggestive clothing, and PDAs. When she needed help in math she came in the morning before school. This was because she had to leave right after school for her job - being a hostess at Hooters. I didn't think she was being blind or hypocritical. She was the type of person who was who she was no matter where she was.

It was more than just a website, it is a cultural phenomenon that shaped the way people interacted online.

That's really nice. Several years ago I was at an IHOP with my son and some soldiers are in. I didn't say anything to them but when we went to pay for our breakfast I told the cashier I was paying for their food too. She said that's gonna be over $100. I don't care they don't get a bill today, she had to get the the manager to come over to see what they had ordered. She tried to talk me out of it, NO I'm paying for their breakfast. If the ask for a bill just tell them that somebody paid it for them. I had just sold my mother's house and had always wanted to do that and it was the only time I was able to do it.

I'm going to buy a huge amount of land. Some buildings will be shelters for people, some will be shelters for animals. There will also be gardening area for fruits and vegetables. The people who are healthy enough in the shelters can earn money by helping with the animals and the gardening. They can save that money towards getting a place of their own. And hopefully when they leave, they can take an animal or two with them depending where they go. And the cycle will continue. The people are cared for, the animals are cared for, and some land is cared for. I've had this all marked out in my head since I was 16, and on papers since I was 18 and occasionally would try to win Jack Johnson lotteries to fund this.

I was 13 and my guinea pig died. Parents didn't help me with her, didn't buy food or even get some hay from neighbouring farmers. Nothing. I had to gather grass for her even in winter. Parents got divorced, stayed in the same flat, constant conflicts, other abuse from all family members and I just couldn't take it. I stopped gathering grass and the pig died of hunger. At family therapy I heard rodents died, guinea pigs don't live long. Well, neither will I with this kind of "help".

Before the pandemic, and at the start of it, if you were on a conference call the expectation was that people wouldn't know you had pets or a family. The only thing they should see or hear is you. Then everyone started to work from home, and it all changed. Now if someone's cat or dog pokes into the meeting, everyone stops dead and wants to meet them. If someone's kid is being loud in the background, everyone starts talking about how old their kids are. We now know that people actually don't live in a bubble, and we want to know about them and share in their life. And I love it!

Adding to this that we can probably date this to pre-pandemic based on the fact it was Skype. Skype, the only noteworthy contender in the video call space for like a decade, somehow went completely and totally obsolete the minute we actually needed video calls. I do love the shift in pet / kid etiquette that you mention though!

Unlike other platforms at the time, Tumblr gave users full control over their profiles. You could customize your theme, layout, colors, fonts, and even add music to your page. It wasn’t just a feed of posts, it was a digital scrapbook of your personality. Following others meant immersing yourself in their aesthetic, thoughts, and creative worlds, making every scroll an adventure.

A kilometre is 1000 meters, a liter of water weighs 1kg (1000g, by the way) and is also 1000cm³. You need energy of one calorie to warm it up 1 degree (Celsius). It boils at 100 degrees and freezes at 0. More? Atmospheric air pressure is 1 bar, which is incidentally the pressure a 10m (1000cm) high water column would generate. You can basically convert everything to everything. Isn't metric beautiful? And no inch, lbs, banana or football field in sight.

It's easy to respond with anger -- it's much harder to respond with kindness. I remember watching a tiktok of someone responding to comments that were just utterly rude, and they said go leave a nice comment, because there is something we're not seeing & they need love, not hate.
At its peak, Tumblr was an absolute giant. As of July 2019, the platform had surpassed 472 million registered accounts. That’s almost half a billion users creating, sharing, and reshaping internet culture every single day. Whether it is meme trends, social movements, or deep-dive discussions on pop culture, Tumblr plays a role in it all.

I call it caretaker mode. You have no idea how strong you are until you have to take someone to the hospital and stay up all night with them and they are terrified. You sit there with them, all calm and collected. You get them ice chips. You talk to them about nothing. And when they are admitted, and the door shuts behind you when you leave, it hits you like a ton of bricks because you're no longer the caretaker.

In psychiatric hospital, I allowed myself the luxury of a quiet cry. I finished, then a psychiatrist came in, saw my red eyes and started interrogating me like Gestapo, asking why I'm there and if the family visit me. Then threatened to send me to the more monitored room bc I was behaving badly. I got so freaking angry but lied I had a bad cough. Got prescribed calcium. In documentary about teens in psychiatric hospital, they said they got punished if they cried while talking on the phone with parents. The punishment was no calling parents. A mother said she prayed her child wouldn't start crying bc of the risk of punishment. You can't cry in such a depressing place.

It used to be, before the internet, that those type of now "internet people", did not have the courage to say that stuff out loud. Because, they were afraid that people like me, might hold them accountable and require them to pay up in full. Which usually meant, that I punched you in your; racist, misogynistic, homophobic, sexists, bigoted, prejudiced, alpha male, incel, nationalistic (sorry if I missed any?) solar plexus.

The trouble is society teaches us that all those things, like talking about emotions or getting flowers are girly (and being like a woman is the worst thing a man can be - it's also why transwomen get way more s**t than transmen, because hey who wouldn't want to 'upgrade' and be a man instead of a woman, but going the other way must mean you have some ulterior motive like being a pervert or wanting to 'cheat' at sports). So men are taught not to ask for them and women are taught men don't want them. This is why we say feminism is good for everyone and patriarchy is bad for everyone. Once we get past believing certain behaviours are gendered and that one gender is inferior to the other, we will start treating both genders like complete human beings who can be emotional and gentle as well as logical and strong depending on circumstance not gender. It's why male s*****e rates are higher and men are more violent (because anger is the only emotion they're allowed to show)

Men don't get enought compliments either - other men won't say a thing, and women are rightly nervous about giving a compliment to a man they don't know for fear he'll take it the wrong way and 'assume' she wants more. SOOO, I compliment men a lot but only at the grocery store as that's a safe place to say a nice thing about a man - his hair, beard, clothes, etc and it's in a setting where he's not apt to misunderstand the intent or take any action on it.

One of the bedt times I can remember was about ten years ago, my then-best friend and I were lying in my bed (in opposite directions because we fit better that way) talking about everything and nothing. Another time, I read her an article about a genius lesbian country blues artist from the 1930s, and we were unaliving ourselves laughing at these old black people who had known her describing her: "She was the kind that always wore sensible shoes." "She never had use for a man." "She was the kind of woman wore slacks to church." My friend died two and a half years ago and I still miss her every day. Have that sleepover.

I feel the need to add, sometimes the hurt is a problem with them, not you. Sometimes the hurt is because they precieve something that is perfectly reasonable for you to do as hurtful for them. This is often the case with narcisists and bigots. Just because they were hurt by you doesn't mean you did anything wrong, but as this post says it also doesn't mean they didn't feel hurt

I've told this story on BP before, but if they repeat things then so can I. My best friend in high school was a TV extra for a while. There's an episode of "Square Pegs" (yes, I'm that old) that had Bill Murray as a guest star. A group of them were playing Uno during the down time, and my buddy was *skunking* Bill, hitting him with "skip turn" and "+4" and "reverse" on virtually every turn. At one point Bill looked him in the eye and said, "You will never work as an extra again." Ironically, that was indeed his last day as a TV extra, but only because he got a more stable job about a week later.
