This conversation spiraled out of hand pretty quickly
I always forget that I can never make just one or two quips about Tumblr here unless I want it to last all day >_<
I still don't know what you mean by that first one.
The second is kinda part of socializing, albeit a negative part.
Well, the two are sort of one in the same: "I am eating a sandwich. I shall inform all three thousand of my closest friends of this astonishing development." Seriously, isn't that sort of thing what IRC is for, so that it doesn't stay online forever?
Of course, Tumblr is just as bad about that, but the difference is that on Tumblr you can just skip that and look at cool photos or art or videos instead. Twitter is just so much bad quipping without leavening.

Generally there is an implied "is anyone else also eating a sandwich, and if so, wanna talk about sandwiches?" following a status update of that kind. The sandwich is a sort of stereotypical example, obviously, but usually people post that kind of thing to start a conversation.
And honestly I get real real tired of just looking at endless photosets on tumblr. To the point where it's actually exhausting in some way. There's only so many xeroxed photos of art installations I can see before I stop being able to appreciate them and just scroll down to the next thing that catches my attention.
I left tumblr because it started to feel really repetitive. Because so many of my followers follow each other, you'd see the same messages over and over again. So it wasn't any one particular person or topic that really drove me off, but the whole format of the thing.
Instead I have twitter now. It has its own issues, but I think I have a good mix of different things, and RTs don't repeat over and over so it's less repetitive.

Hahaha my 5000th Tumblr post was me complaining about package tracking numbers
Tumblr entertains me, plus I am not really all that invested in it so if it gets annoying I just don't look at it for a few days and it's moved on. Mostly, anyway.
Perhaps it's easier to chuckle at teenagers from the long end of being over 20 years older than them, though.

I see you do the loop for the lowercase L. I do it that way when it's a variable because otherwise it's confusing, but in text I just draw a single line.
Maybe at some point soon I'll scan in a page from some of my math notes so you can see my attempts to draw \mathcal and such.
The Francophone professors here tend to write their capital M without actually going down in the middle.

Lately I've taken to crossing my 7s like they do in Europe
Not because I think it looks cool or anything, but because I write a lot of long-ass part numbers and I don't want it to look like a 1 or a T
(I also use $ in place of the letter S when I write part numbers, to tell it apart from a 5, but I don't do that in normal handwriting because it would be annoying.)

"Everyone should be eating lamb and praising jesus on Easter its a holy day—"
Oh, you’re going to tell me how to worship Eostre? The holiday that part of MY ancestry literally invented before YOURS took it and turned it into another jesus freakshow? No thank you.

Or really why the post has this weird confrontational tone when to my knowledge the holiday's pagan aspects and religious aspects really don't have any overlap.
Eh, it's dumb, but by the same token there are people out there who think that not being their denomination of Christian is an automatic damning offence.
^ The resurrection thing is pretty ancient, actually, particularly given that Eostre was both a fertility and a dawn goddess.

Fair enough, but if I understand correctly the OP is insinuating cultural appropriation and I find that kind of offensive.
Does this person not realize that Eostre was mentioned once by the Venerable Bede, who said that it had died out before he was born; and that before the Venerable Bede we have no references to it at all? And that other than him, we have no source for it except people extrapolating from that reference, and people extrapolating from those extrapolations? Bede claims that the Angles and Saxons had a month called Eosturmonap (Eostre month) with feasts to goddess Eostre (but he claims it died out before he was born, replaced with Pascha, the celebration of the ressurrection).
The Old High German and Carolingian germanic had months called ostermund or ostermanod; and Bede claims an equivalent Eosturmonap for the angles and saxons. From that month name (Eostre Month).
We don't know if there was even a goddes eostre/oster/astor/oestur or if Bede just assumed that there must have been because the month was Eostre Month /Eosturmonap.
And he just claims "feasts in honor of goddess Eostre".
Basically, it's extraolations from extrapolations from extrapolations of a single reference in Bede, which may have been an extrapolaton from a translation.
Basically, what Bede said is "Eostremanod is the anglo-saxon name for the month of our Pasche celebration. Eostre manod = Eostre month. In this month, the Angles and Saxons feasted in honor of goddess Eostre; but these feasts were replaced by the Pasche celebration before I was born."

There's a little more evidence than that insofar as certain local names and Easter rites go, but whether the name was technically an epithet or avatar of a different deity (given the sparsity of references) is unclear. Best evidence suggests that Eostre was the Saxon name for Freyja or something, which still essentially confirms what Bede said.

Bears are the new Gibson Guitars I genuinely don't know what you're referring to.

Nothing wrong with that. Everybody grows at different rates.
hahahahaha

The namesake of Easter is the goddess Eostre of the Dawn.
