seriously though. people, at least i, have deluded myself into believing that this site could spur my creativity and inspire me, but really it’s just a repetitive and cyclical trap that won’t let you go. people conform to the same aesthetic and it’s just little things, very small things, that show how this little slice of the internet just fucks with our creative process. it’s near impossible to remain autonomous and self-preserved on this site that’s constantly filling you with facts and beautiful images and history and other people’s words. you have no time to think. why not take our diaries somewhere else. why not worry more about writing the truth rather than writing what we think other people want to read. i’m so frustrated that i forgot that i had to pee. please, use tumblr as a hobby. read an actual book. go do something. explore. don’t derive your inspiration from regurgitated metaphors that mama bird is feeding you. let your thoughts unravel on their own and catch them before it’s too late. do it, so that we all don’t turn into one, giant metaphor about ribcages and ‘lovely lavender’ assholes.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
I admit, I do worry about the effect that Tumblr has on certain people (e.g. all those half-joking posts about how Tumblr is their home), but honestly the various iterations of the Trash Heap have had a similar effect on me, so I'm one to talk...
Really, I should probably spend more time reading about drawing and writing so that I am more likely to do those things.
tumblr's started to bother me a bit, but this time it isn't anything any of my followers are doing. It's that tumblr has started to get super slow when I'm scrolled down enough.

Whoa, I always figured that was just me and it was because of my low-end 4-year-old laptop.
I "fixed" it by turning off endless scrolling in the preferences. I kinda like having a paginated dashboard better anyway.
man, is it bad that now whenever I see some sort of "THIS IS A BAD THING YOU SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF" pretty much regardless of what it is, I just immediately scroll past it?

It is a culture thing: people don't want to know about the bad things that happen, so they tune them out and let in the things that keep them entertained. All of us can be susceptible to it, myself included. But being aware of stuff is good.

That's PART of it. With Tumblr you're not just getting news. It is, after-all, a BLOG site, so you're also often getting someone's opinion on that news and this often may not exactly be welcome. There's a few good posts that had depressing subject matter that I've forgone re-blogging because the comments that have been added distracted from the main post.
It is good to be aware of things, but INPORTANT POST READ THIS posts on tumblr are a really shitty and largely inaccurate way to be made aware of things, so just ignoring them is a good idea.

I usually at least read the posts, but I try to take them with a grain of salt unless I verify them independently, because, well, Tumblr has shown itself time and again to be a giant game of Telephone.

and I feel I'm pretty unlikely to find anything on tumblr that I haven't heard elsewhere already on that front.
-shrug- I didn't know what to say, so I said it. It wasn't really a joke, it was more like a not-serious statement. You can take that however you want, but I'm not apologizing for anything.

Probably the saddest part about the Bouzaglo's was that they weren't beyond redemption food wise. The food was bad, but there has been much, MUCH worse on the show, If the wife would actually listen to criticism and improve, coupled with her deserts and meticulously kept restaurant, they'd probably be fine.
She's just so hopelessly batshit crazy that they're basically screwed.
Exactly. They humiliate themselves. It is beautiful.
See, this is why I love Kitchen Nightmares. I don't like watching people be humiliated, but the people on the show aren't being pressured or goaded or even made fun of by Ramsey. He genuinely wants to help them turn around and I've seen him reward people on the show with stuff like culinary school scholarships. He just often times finds himself in restaurants that are clearly doomed and no amount of redecorating is going to save them.
Many of them are the Satans of their own personal Hell flapping their wings like crazy trying to escape while keeping the ice they're in frozen, and they don't even see it. It's also hard to feel sorry for someone when one of the planets greatest chefs and business men offers to help and basically throws money at them and they still manage to fuck up.

I forgot to mention that they should probably let their wait staff keep tips and make it so they don't loose someone every three to four days, assuming these are problems they still haven't fixed.
Sammy is a pretty shady character, with a criminal record, his self-admitted petty thefts and his "gangster" comments pointing to a not-so-honest lifestyle.
Amy on the other hand is just batshit insane. She blames other people for faults that are clearly her own, and is emotionally abusive even to people like Gordon who just want to help her. Sammy admits that he's a "control freak" and his unhealthy coddling certainly helps her batshit insanity, but her problems run waaaaay deeper than that. She belongs in a padded cell, not in a kitchen.

I don't know about you, but tumblr tends to do terrible things to my literary creativity.

Heck, anything that smacks of snarky social justice raises my hackles.
It is. :)

also there are other kinds of posts I instinctively scroll past, the "HERE IS BAD THING" just seem to be the most common
other candidates include:

man I just realized that's like half of tumblr.

Well, I've now seen the worst thing I'm going to see today.
Man, don't diss. JoJo's has everything, man: big, muscular men, vampires, martial arts, superpowers, and musical references!
