i am an asshole.
there are soooo many of those b&w challenges on my timeline, and each of them is on a different day of the challenge. Very disconcerting when a new Day 1 shows up.

Contrary to what your mid-20s, intoxicated, star-fucking, smeary-eyelinered self might think, the warm, worn body you have now is beautiful. It has housed and fed two humans who like to lie on your lap and legs like furniture.

Near as I can make out, it is playing on the idea that vets make 'normal girls' freeze up with fear, because all vets are screwed up head cases who are likely to scream with night terrors or start punching holes in sheetrock walls. ha-ha.
vets are supposed to see this and think "it's funny because it's true."
― A is for (Aimless), Wednesday, 29 November 2017 18:26 (six years ago) link
i was thinking maybe it's trying to play on the vet's fears about isolation. that they finally open up to someone about what happened and the other person kind of gives an empty supportive response but doesn't really understand, maybe it's impossible for them to understand, etc
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 29 November 2017 18:55 (six years ago) link
of course, it would be kind of weird for the vet to be opening about these things while also hitting on someone, so it is kind of weird
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 29 November 2017 18:56 (six years ago) link
it's weird ok
I think it said 'hitting on', not 'opening up to'.

Perhaps (being charitable here) most bins are now the kind that get hoisted/flipped by hydraulic thingies?

I saw a similar macro shared by an old schoolfriend which was complaining that back int' olden days binmen would come into your garden for you and drag the bin out and empty it and replace it and they weren't too lazy and now its terrible that we have to put our own bins on the street the night before. I pointed out that if someone was to start dragging six bins through my close at 8am on my day off and wake me up I would be a lot more angry than the minor unnoticable inconvenience of taking my turn to put the bins out.

Other than the implication that somehow respectful people are rare gems from another era for which one feels nostalgia, making young people of the present era, by implication, disrespectful oafs, I can't see much to object to in any of the specific actions mentioned.

I looked at the page... It's full of really badly degraded watermarked images of old ladies sweeping their doorsteps and memes that say things like 'Share if you remember the name of your rag and bone man'
― FREEZE! FYI! (dog latin), Monday, 4 December 2017 11:07 (six years ago) link
It's mostly too banal (share if you're hoping for a white christmas!) to be satire imo.
― Daniel_Rf, Monday, 4 December 2017 11:08 (six years ago) link
yeah it's not satire, but some of it is very very close. I want to trump it with one that clearly nostalgises things that happened in pre-WWI Britain, and once that's become popular, make another page for late-Victorian Britain etc etc until I'm doing 'Share if you remember powdered wigs' or whatever
