Every now and then I’m reminded Real People with Actual Jobs use tumblr and I’ve always been legitimately curious what all you weird adults are up to when you’re not on this site and with tumblr’s New Poll Feature I can finally get an answer! (or the closest approximation of an answer possible with only 10 available options h a)

What job do you currently have (or plan on having in the future)?

Deals With People (customer service of any kind, waiter, hospitality, etc.)

Professional Nerd (engineer, programmer, accountant, etc.)

Keeping Things Running (maintenance, janitorial, delivery, construction, etc.)

Never Left School (teacher, academic researcher, still a student, etc.)

What Kids Consider “Real” Jobs (lawyer, government agent, doctor, etc.)

Graphic Design Is My Actual Passion (designer, animator, artist, etc.)

Literal Backbone of Society (farmer, assembly operator, temp., chef, etc.)

Like And Subscribe!! (influencer, comedian, sales, marketing, performer, etc.)

Full Time Public Service Baby (firefighter, non-profit, social worker, etc.)

My Job Is Cool But Not Listed (slap that in the tags if it’s fun)

bemusedlybespectacled:

do you pronounce the “t” in “soften” and “often”?

Yes, I pronounce the T like in “lift” (“soff-ten” and “off-ten”)

No, I drop the T in those words (“soffen” and “offen”)

I drop the T in one of them but not both (“soff-en/off-ten” or vice versa)

Something else (tell me in the replies)

PLEASE reblog, I have heard it on a couple of podcasts now and I’m genuinely curious how common it is! Also, if you feel comfortable with it, let me know what your accent normally is (Midwestern, Southern, New Englander, New Yorker, Minnesotan, whatever).

silver–storms:

I’ve never met anyone who likes their birthstone. Reblog + put in the tags what yours is, if you like it and what birthstone you’d rather have.

the thing about cracking open a long-established popular ship tag on ao3 is that it allows you to be extraordinarily picky, and i think it must be the closest thing i will ever experience to being filthy rich. i scroll along at super speed like no today i am only interested in fics with this precise range of words and one of these three tags. only authors i’ve heard of, please. hmm, i suppose i could consider an unknown quantity given its apparent popularity with the people, but… no, no, this summary doesn’t do it for me. no particular reason, it’s just… eh, i don’t need to explain myself. bring me 50 more like this for me to choose from and we’ll see.

someone just lamented that their new pairing has only 5000 works (“where’s the rest of them?”) which is approximately the size of the pairing i was celebrating in the original post, and it really threw into relief that it’s impossible for us to even conceptualize the extravagance of a true scrooge mcduck fandom if we’ve never been in one. i am a reasonably well-off dentist who takes her family to cancun once a year.

state of the union update at 45k. my unscientific analysis reports a fairly even breakdown between:

• people crying in the gutter
• people crying in a 2-bedroom bungalow
• the nouveaux riches (steddie fans)
• these guys:

ALT

bonus shout out to:

• very picky people crying from their summer home in the hamptons
• the 4 people who think i’m actually a dentist
