YEAAAAAAHHHHHHHGGGHHGH
What’s fascinating to me is realizing that we simply ignore the glottal stop in every word that begins with a vowel when we speak quickly. Like unless you’re enunciating or speaking slowly you simply tell that glottal stop “fuck you” and hook the vowel to the previous consonant sound. Amazing. Glottal stops more like waste of time amirite
SUPER SALAD
Wtf we actually talk like this don’t we
so like the story of my pfp (for now) is really funny
"La Michocana" or "the lady from Michoacan" is an ice cream company based in the mexican state of Michoacan

so being that their name is a state, i dont think they can trademark the name? so that lets other bootleg icecream companies pop up so i have to deal with a thing where i see a different version of La Michocana every other block lol
the Michoacana stores are just a favorite of mine i just like looking at icecream
i am on another plane right now and this video has me convinced that I reached nirvana for a few seconds
the first time i watched this video i was stoned out of my motherfucking MIND and i watched it on loop for 25 minutes
this is the only fucking post on this entire fucking site
here’s why vine was and will always be superior to tiktok you can’t really spread a lot of misinfo in 6 seconds you had to go viral on the strength of your humor and not on the allure of insane conspiracy theories or MRA talking points it’s why vines legacy will be shit like “back at it at krispy kreme” and not the downfall of democracy
To be clear I am not denying that vines was superior.
But if you think tiktok is the downfall of democracy you're either not paying attention or on the WRONG side of tiktok. There are tons of people over there dedicated to making sure the masses have access to accurate information, exposing corruption, and organizing against fascism. Tiktok is not the problem. For every bad actor there's a good one and as we like to say here at the tumblr dot com: curate your experience.
Reading comprehension quiz (unit 2):
- Please summarize the argument of original post in your own words. Is the main point of the post about democracy, or something else? What other issues might the the author be trying to address?
- Define hyperbole. Why might the author deploy this rhetorical device here? What features of Tumblr may have encouraged this style of post?
- How can algorithms disincentivize or prevent users from fully controlling their experience on social media platforms such as TikTok? How might the architecture of these platforms —including longer-form video options — facilitate radicalization or fringe beliefs? (See Becker, A. (2021, August 24).
