Lots of people think the opposite of patriarchal messaging is “actually, men are bad and women are good”
When in reality, the opposite of patriarchal messaging is “there is no immutable difference between a man and a woman and no trait belongs only to one group or the other. Goodness or badness is entirely individual and not tied to gender in any meaningful way”
i have a terrible habit of sometimes just doing 100 squats in the shower. It’s right on the intersection of “hard enough it’ll fuck me up tomorrow” and “easy enough to be done on a whim” and i always regret it
See part of the issue is when i shower i look at my legs (which are like if a pair of festive christmas hams were solid muscle) and then i remember “oh yeah i can do 100 squats like nothing”
I dreamt that people found out that tumblr posts had a secret hidden text field that you normally couldn't put anything into that was called a post's "wungle text", and it wasn't normally displayed in any way, but someone made a browser extension that allowed you to write and view a post's wungle by flipping it over like an index card. The user's picture and name and all that would be backwards, but the wungle post looked otherwise like a normal post, though empty unless the author had written something in there. It worked in reblogs too.
People were using it for jokes, and a bunch of seemingly boring and innocuous posts got really popular with funny wungle sides.
i was actually thinking about making a browser extension (well, a bookmarklet) to reveal this kind of "wungle text", though i'm not sure if/when i'll get around to it.
for my own reference (or for anyone else who wanted to try their hand at it), here's the basic concept i had in mind:
Array.prototype.forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('a[href*="#WUNGLE-"]'), function (e) { e.innerText = decodeURIComponent(e.href.split('#WUNGLE-')[1]) })
tl;dr: a single line of Javascript can be used to set (a decoded version of) the "wungle text" as the display text for an affected link.
Doing the whole "flip over animation" thing is probably do-able with some extra time and effort, but this should at least work as a basic proof-of-concept.
Step by Step Guide on how to write Wungles that work with this bookmarklet in Windows:
Open notepad
If you don't already know how to find notepad, hit the windows key and type notepad, you should see something like the above.
Right click anywhere in the blank space and select Insert Unicode control character and pick ZWNJ Zero width non-joiner
Copy this zero width control character and paste it on a new line in your tumblr post.
Highlight that entire line (and thus the zero width character. You should see something like this (pretty standard tumblr post formatting feature):
click inline link and paste in https://tumblr.com/#WUNGLE- and then your text.
NOTE: since these are stored as URLs you can't use regular spaces, instead you need to type spaces and special symbols using Percent-encoding, where you type a percent and then a code to indicate the symbol.
%20 is space so it might look like this https://tumblr.com/#WUNGLE-Hello%20world
there's this enormous rat in my magical wizard basement but it hasn't really done anything bad or knocked anything over or like ate any of my things so does this mean i have a pet now
