Stuff I saw on the internet last week
Happy Monday! It’s once again time to round up some tweets, Reddit posts, Tumblr posts, and articles I saw last week.
First, last week’s episode of my podcast is about Cast Away, a movie that somehow has too much Helen Hunt. And this Wednesday’s episode will be about The Da Vinci Code, which is a movie that is very stinky.
TWEETS!
After seeing this tweet, one of my BuzzFeed colleagues said, “This makes extra sense when you consider how SpongeBob treats jellyfish like both those things.”
This tweet did not disappoint:
I know this is right but it doesn’t feel right:
It must be contagious because I have this disease, too:
This tweet hurt my feelings:
Actual LOL:
Gotta love Latin humour:
This is my new favourite tweet of all time:
REDDIT!
What an EXCELLENT doggo:
Darling, throw the whole man out:
Everything I do is wrong and picked apart by him ; I’ll do eggs and all of a sudden he doesn’t like the way I do them so I stopped trying to make his food better, I make homemade chips? I’ll make sure the children’s are cooked thoroughly and crispy- his are cooked but not crispy, the way he likes them.
He’s asked why the children’s dinners seem so much nicer than his and I told him that I’m done and other than making sure it’s cooked I’m not going out of my way to make his food nice anymore.
Well he’s upset and has gone back to eating noodles claiming I’m an asshole for being petty and that I married him knowing he’s a fussy eater so I can’t change my mind.
Craig and I had a good chuckle over this:
If she doesn’t want you there, she has to explain to her fiancé why; she doesn’t get to make someone else the bad guy:
My friend's fiancée suddenly contacts me and asks me not to come given our "history" (there's literally never been any history?) Not only does she want me not to show up, but she doesn't want me to tell my friend that she told me not to come. She just wants me to be the bitchy friend that skipped her friend's wedding for no reason. She told me to just say I'm unable to come to avoid drama and to not tell the rest of the members in my friend group because she doesn't want any of them to not come out of "support for me."
Oofamagoof, this guy, what a catch:
My girlfriend is very particular about the way things are and she's a neat freak, so for the first two months or so I sort of stepped back figuring that she would prefer to take the lead on that. She wasn't happy with that, and asked me to help out more and take initiative when things needed done. At first I tried, but I accidentally broke the vacuum by overloading it with dog food kibble, the dishes kept coming outta the dishwasher still dirty, and I ruined some shoes by putting them in the dryer. I know, I'm inept.
So after that I sort of went back to not contributing much, until my girlfriend made us a chore chart. That really helped at first and I was learning how to do different tasks (with my mom's help although my gf was pissed when I told her this). But then Monday some glass shattered in our bedroom when she was at work. It was her day to sweep/vacuum so I just closed off the door to keep the dogs out and did my own chores and then was watching TV when she got home.
SO SMOL:

ARTICLES!
How social justice slideshows took over Instagram, Vox — h/t to Delia Cai at Deez Links for linking to this fascinating piece in her newsletter.
Writers Mutiny at ‘All Rise,’ the Rare CBS Show With a Black Female Lead, New York Times — the white, male showrunner on this is a Canadian export and this tweet from Shernold Edwards strongly implies there was mistreatment and bad behaviour long before he went to the U.S.
Horror Movies Seem to Really Hate the Suburbs, Wired — I’ve always preferred suburban horror movies to suburban dramas, because the horrors always get really creative, while the dramas are always like, “DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN LIVE IN THE SUBURBS BUT ALSO BE SAD????”
An Oral History Of ‘Steamed Hams,’ The Funniest ‘Simpsons’ Scene Ever Recorded, Mel Magazine — I needed this.
Answer These 6 Questions And We’ll Tell You Exactly What Your Problem Is — I wrote this very scientific and very accurate quiz.
That’s all for me today! Talk to you soon, gorgeous.
Love,
Kat
