catwithaknifei just got muted in a facebook group for bad baby names because i laugh reacted to a mod threatening to mute me for saying ehren was a real name. i am very confused by this but thought you'd appreciate it
this is a fantastic tale but I’m also absolutely beside myself at the idea of a Facebook group for bad baby names like… of course that exists and I’m so mad I haven’t checked it out before because my word are there some god awful names out there.
is Ehren some kind of fucked up spelling of Erin? I don’t know what to trust anymore.
jell-hellI don't know if it makes a lot of sense but I feel like your blog is like a cafe that has books and is simultaneously cozy and full of weird rooms that lead nowhere at all. I don't know, I always feel very intrigued by the things you post, even though sometimes they scare the shit out of me (I get creeped out easily though, not your fault). One of the few blogs I actually have notifications on lmao. Thought you should know, kudos from Brazil <3
thank you! this is a really nice vibe and I’m glad you enjoy my shitposting lol. it blows my mind that some people have notifications on for my blog because sometimes I’m being kind of normal but then other times you’ll get a notification and it’ll just be some fucking incomprehensible post, and the idea of that just nerfing you in the middle of your normal day is hilarious to me. thanks for sticking around! 💖
Anonymousi know the age convo is long finished but i just remember a story and a question i want to ask: so when i was 17 i went to australia and we went to the zoo where the caucasian ticketperson thought i was 13. But then, when i was 18 i went back to australia and went to the bottle shop where the asian clerk thought i was 25. is this a thing for any fellow asians? i will only get IDed if the clerk is caucasian... even when im already 22...
to be honest with you I definitely think that’s a white person thing like… white people are chronically bad at ageing non-white people. in fact they’re chronically bad at ageing people in general imo lmao. I’m white but I look very young, so I understand when I’m ID’d for alcohol (in this country you have to be 18, but shops and bars have to ask for ID if they think you’re under 25). but I’m also ID’d for paracetamol (you have to be 15 to buy) and high-caffeine energy drinks (you have to be 16 to buy). this means that some people think I am 14 years old. I most certainly do not look 14 (or apparently I do? who knows). I don’t think I do, anyway, because I am 6ft tall for a start. I just think white people have two ages, which is “elderly” and “schoolchild”. I still get asked for ID by people who aren’t white, but it’s nowhere near as often as I’m asked by white people.
but something I’ve noticed is that white people are catastrophically bad at ageing Asian people. for some reason Asian faces look very young to us (and Asian people age much better than white people do) so people see an Asian face and a young sense of dress and just assume immediately that you’re in high school. then again that same thing has happened to me, too, so I have no idea man. maybe you do look very young? maybe white people are shit at ageing people? maybe a combination of both? all I know is that I feel ya.
