One of the reasons I feel so comfortable using Tumblr over other social media is because this site is clearly too incompetent to be evil.

The basic business model of a social network is to harvest commercially valuable personal data and sell it, most famously via targeted ads. Anyone visiting my blog can clearly see that I am a queer furry who’s into video games and art. And yet I am only served ads for funeral homes, Bible story DVDs, and the current president’s reelection campaign (in 2018 for some reason)

Needless to say my click through rate has not been very good

Me: Runs a blog dedicated to dungeons and dragons and anime
Tumblr: You know what, you strike me as a sporty type

I’m a social media manager for my day job and Tumblr is literally the only social media platform I can relax on anymore because it’s so incompetent when it comes to exploiting my personal data.

I’m getting ads in arabic and for an expo in Beijing.

What

I kept getting ads for tv shows that I wouldn’t watch ever, and for the cheetoh’s damned wall.

Only thing I’m doing today for Black Friday (aside from shopping there myself because it is Refill Season) is pimping out
JusTea.com

. Right now they’re doing 25% off *everything. When you stock up on their awesome tea, you’re also supporting Fair Trade in Kenya. Once you reach $50 CAD you get free shipping in North America. (Sorry, I don’t know what they charge for anyone else.)

The only people Kenyan teas might disappoint are those who want their tea to be exceptionally astringent; Kenyan tea is pretty mellow.

I was checking out at Walmart, and as I was reaching for my bags I said, “Happy Holidays!”
And the cashier leaned in like she was sharing a secret and said “Merry Christmas.”
So I smiled politely and said, “Blessed Yule!”
And the look that spread across her face, you would have thought I’d literally stolen Christmas from her.

If you’re going to make a point of wishing me a happy whatever-you-celebrate, I’m going to make a point of wishing you a happy whatever-I-celebrate, and if you think that’s wrong you should consider getting “hypocrite” tattooed across your forehead.

It’s that time of year again

A post I made has officially become an “it’s that time of year again” post and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t honored

There is a writer, I love every work she has written so far and I comment or leave kudos every chapter/work that she had published. Is that too much? I’m feeling like a stalker.

Odds are you are now that author’s favourite reader and they have you specifically in mind when they write because they’re looking forward to your reaction to it 😀

At least, that’s how it goes for me.

If this is you then yes, you are my favorite reader and I DO think about you actively while writing new chapters.

Recently one of my most faithful readers on Ao3, who comments on every chapter of my current series, left a comment that read: “Sorry for being so repetitive, but I am loving this story.”

DON’T BE SORRY, MY DEAR READER! I LOVE THAT YOU COMMENT EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER! I LOVE SEEING THE NOTIFICATION OF YOUR COMMENT!! I DON’T CARE IF YOU PUT THE SAME COMMENT EVERY TIME! I WILL STILL LOVE IT! ❤

Beware The Thanksgiving Salad: CDC Says No Romaine Lettuce Is Safe

PSA that any news articles or posts that you’re seeing about E. coli in romaine lettuce are not old news from the outbreak earlier this year — it’s happening again. If you have romaine lettuce, whether it be whole heads, hearts, or cut up in a bag, the CDC is recommending to toss it out.

And…uh…maybe consider a nice spinach salad for Thanksgiving instead of the Caesar.

[link to the CDC report]

This notice is for November 2018!

This is happening November 21, 2018 and probably longer. I work salads at a restaurant and we had to chuck all our romaine to be safe. Trust me, no one wants E.Coli. Use iceberg lettuce if you still want that Caesar salad though.

We had beet and spinach salad. Not bad, but a little weird.
