How many times people repeat the “u” in “fuck” on twitter, from a study of how people say fuck on twitter that also includes this excellent set of examples:  

In the case of the f-word, we found that while the average usage was (unsurprisingly) negative, a quarter of the tweets were strongly positive. To illustrate this emotional mélange, we selected nine representative examples at various intervals with inferred sentiment shown in parenthesis. For comparative purposes (and because this is the internet) all of the selected tweets pertain to cats.

– I hate cats.. just evil little fuckers (-0.91)
– I just want to go to fucking sleep these stupid ass cats are fighting right outside my window (-0.85)
– I just got a cat fucking drunk and he’s abusive (-0.78)
– i want a cat now who the fuck am i (-0.49)
– Let your cat be a fucking cat. (0.0)
– honestly scaring cats is fucking hilarious (0.48)
– aye bruh how bout you show yo cats some love too mufucka (0.64)
– Cats are just so fucking perfect and I love them and want them all (0.88)
– I FUCKING LOVE MY CATS SO MUCH LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL GUY I SWEAR WHAT A SMART LOYAL LOVING ANIMAL GIFTED TO ME (0.96)

brooklyn nine nine literally hitting homophobia in the face

I can never decide how I feel about this scene. On the one hand, it’s showing homophobia as totally unacceptable, worth punching someone over. That’s good! And it’s the friend of the gay man, so it’s showing that you should stand up for gay people even if you aren’t, which is also good.

But do you think any of the people who wrote or acted this have ever done this in their real lives? Anything even close?

I’m tired of straight people fantasizing aggressively about what they WOULD do and then never doing anything. It’s like that bit from Louis CK about how he sees servicemembers in uniform on planes and fantasizes about giving up his first class seat, and feels good about it without actually giving up his seat for them.

Don’t pretend to be a better ally than you are just because you’ve daydreamed about a power fantasy where you get to punch someone and feel justified.

In real life, I remember one–exactly one–time where a straight friend stood up for me when I was getting bullied by homophobes. She walked me from one class to the next because I’d been chased down those stairs the previous day by older boys shouting at me that I was a lesbian. One friend, one time, out of how many incidents? How many times in the five years between thirteen and eighteen before I got the hell out of that town?

And straight people want to pat themselves on the back? Do something worth self-congratulating, at least.

I liked this scene because it’s the climax of an episode in which Jake (dude doing the hitting) got to meet a guy he’d always admired for his work (dude being punched for being a homophobe) and hang out with him.  And like Jake spends the early part of the episode going off about how cool this guy is and how important the work he’s done is and how this guy is the real deal and getting to hang out with this guy is basically a dream come true for Jake. 

And then as he’s spending time with him, Jake starts to realize that this guy’s stuck in a way of doing things that’s about 30 years out of date, and that the way people did things 30 years ago is actually, in a lot of ways, really, really shitty.  And he has a few ‘yikes’ moments, but basically he just kind of chalks it up to history, because this isn’t how cops and journalists do things now, so it’s not great, but not worth throwing down over.  Like, he tries verbally getting the guy to knock it off, but nothing’s taking.

But then this happens, and it’s something that Captain Holt has been very up front about still being a huge issue in the police force, and it’s just the final nooooooooooope moment for Jake.

So the take-away message is less about punching homophobes and more about not turning a blind eye to somebody’s rancid behavior or attitudes or giving them a pass just because you respect their work or used to think they were super-cool or think of them as an authority on something.

Also, maybe the way we get more people doing the right thing in real life is by showing them what it looks like in popular media.

Accessibility on tumblr

chronicallyspoonless:

Idk if people realise how difficult reading large amounts of texts is for people with a variety of disabilities.

I love to learn. I love the social information and awareness I get from tumblr, and the things I learn about my own conditions in this space.

But a lot of this content is not accessible. A lot of the time I’m not capable of reading the large amounts of info especially in big paragraphs

So to make your content more accessible try some of these

– don’t have big paragraphs – break down things – it will make your points clearer and easier to absorb.

– use spacing especially between paragraphs and ideas

– use tags – if something is Long but I’ve seen a word that means I might want to read it, I can look at the tags for more info on what it’s about and save it for when I’m more able to process.

– minimise emojis and weird formatting. These things make it more difficult when using a text to speech program

– make a tldr. I appreciate these so much.

– if possible, use images and info graphics and include image descriptions.

– if it’s a long post covering many points use bold and make titles for different sections. This means when I scroll through I can prioritise reading the points that interest me most rather than not being able to read anything.

– lists!

Rich SF residents get a shock: Someone bought their street

something to put a little pep in your step

Tldr: rich ppl allowed to be jerks to other rich ppl bc some rich ppl didn’t want to pay $14 tax bill

Which is kinda fun because usually only poor people get fucked over like this.

No guys that tl;dr misses the best part: why they are able to do this. 

They are able to do this because this is a private street. They are able to do this because of the ORIGINAL JACKASSERY of previous rich people who wanted to be able to literally bar all people Not Cool Enough from even being on their street (something you cannot do if it’s a public street). 

ALSO THE SECOND BEST PART: 

There’s a bit of irony in the couple’s purchase. Until a 1948 U.S. Supreme Court ruling banning the enforcement of racial covenants, homes in Presidio Terrace could be purchased only by whites.

“The more we dug into this,” said the Taiwan-born Cheng, “the more interesting it got.”
