I love tags it’s like muttering under your breath on the internet
Can we just repeat that a few more times,

I usually know it’s time to stop drawing and go to bed when I find myself in this position.
I would not recommend it.
okay restarting actually worked this time, thank God.
(now to stay on GDocs versus Google Reader…)
what is the goddamn point of being online if I can’t access Gmail or GDocs (fyi, the latter is where FC lives)
why don’t I just go to bed
omg
wow. INSTANT recognition.
I didn’t even have to look at the bottom picture to know. AHAHAHAHAHA.
Chiudere. L’internet.

We launched Google Reader in 2005 in an effort to make it easy for people to discover and keep tabs on their favorite websites. While the product has a loyal following, over the years usage has declined. So, on July 1, 2013, we will retire Google Reader. Users and developers interested in RSS alternatives can export their data, including their subscriptions, with Google Takeout over the course of the next four months.
Google is shutting down Google Reader, because they are stupid. (via shortformblog)
Wait, first Tweetdeck is being taken away, and now this?
Actually, I have no rage against this as I’ve never used RSS feeds for anything in my life. However, my friend swears by NewsBlur.

Noooooooooo I have like thirty feeds on Reader, and I used it because my stupid monkey brain can’t figure out the more complicated readers (ie, EVERY OTHER READER). D:

AUGH I JUST STARTED RELYING ON GOOGLE READER
tumblr is so comforting
the same people on your dash every day
posting nice things
no pressure of conversation
they’re just there
with their little icons and stuff
i love the internet.

I am a street photographer in New York City. Several months ago, I was approached by a representative of DKNY who asked to purchase 300 of my photos to hang in their store windows “around the world.” They offered me $15,000. A friend in the industry told me that $50 per photo was not nearly enough to receive from a company with hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue. So I asked for more money. They said “no.”
Today, a fan sent me a photo from a DKNY store in Bangkok. The window is full of my photos. These photos were used without my knowledge, and without compensation.
I don’t want any money. But please REBLOG this post if you think that DKNY should donate $100,000 on my behalf to the YMCA in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. That donation would sure help a lot of deserving kids go to summer camp. I’ll let you guys know if it happens.Sometimes it’s like companies don’t realise the internet exists.

Heyyy maybe you’ve seen that first picture being posted all over facebook? I know I have! I also know that the jokes were originally by Ben Kling, as you can see by following this link! There are also more where they came from! Cute stuff.
Now jokes like “Be Mein” could be pretty coincidental but on the whole I don’t think so! I just wanted to direct you to the original artist, because hey, fight that good proper attribution fight. Facebook is a no mans land of nothing attributed to anyone ever.
Ben is my IRL friend and I hate the internet and I’m gonna smack all you fuckin’ joke-stealing jerks up OK? Also, you tasteless weirdo who re-purposed his jokes, I feel really sorry that you have 0 design sense and couldn’t see that his drawings were wayyyyyy cuter valentines than your crappy photoshops. AARRGHH
If you like Ben’s original cool cute valentines, you can purchase them here!! http://www.redbubble.com/people/benkling/collections/179130-dictator-valentines?product_type=greeting-card <—- yeah!!!
I’m one who made this egregious error, even after I totes remember seeing these wonderful illustration/valentines on the Tumblr. The best way to make up for it is to first publicly confront my wrongdoing, and then buy the fuck out of Ben Kling’s valentines (my valentine will have to guess which one I got ‘im).
You’re the person who made the knockoffs? First of all, thank you for responding in such a classy way (unlike I did). It takes guts to own up to doing something. I always picture the people who do these things as people who DO consider the consequences of hurting the content-creator, and they just don’t care. But I think a lot of times it’s just someone who didn’t realize, maybe didn’t think it all the way through, or maybe didn’t see someone’s creative effort as something that should belong solely to it’s maker.
True apologies are like icecream sundaes made of magic that tastes like sunsets. They are rare, and should be well received and appreciated!
(I’m sorry I called you a tasteless weirdo.)
awesome lessons, everybody!!
Well there you go! This was very nice! Civility all around.
for real though look me in the eye and tell me which is more likely for these two
The Hawkeye Initiative is my new favorite reason to love the internet.
