“Growing up” is fucked. I ain’t wearing no LaCoste or Polo shirts with khakis. Fug dat. Dress however you like but just do it with intention. Sure I got my clothes for nice dates n shit, but I dress how I feel. Like a nerdy degenerate. Forreal though...as long as you a responsible ho, you a grown up ho.

i fucking hate polo shirts. every few years i buy one to give it a chance and end up ditching the thing at the goodwill.

actual shirts with button fronts for me when i need a collar.

i do understand gazpacho’s normcore camo tho.

I hate polo style shirts too.

I own one, it is a gift from the Houston Astros 2017 World Series championship.

Reading about the filter bubble in Media class. Not going to lie, it scares me a little

Basically it's the theory that nowadays, the media we're exposed to is chosen (partly under our control, partly not) so that it basically reaffirms what we believe in and ignores conflicting viewpoints.

i.e. I follow The Guardian and ABC News (the Australian version) on Twitter, which gives me one take on the news - however, this means that I don't get views from other sides of the spectrum like Sky News.

And I know that I should try and be well rounded, look at things from both sides, but it's easier to go through life without looking at things that'll upset me. It gets worse when people (this one specific kid I know) will basically try and defend their viewpoint as 'stop living in an echo chamber!' and I feel like I do.

aaah so you’re scared of looking outside your bubble?

A bit, yeah - but I don't want to just stay in it...

rip it up then

i have a couple of nietzsche quotes for you, courtesy of the interwebs

“The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind.”

“The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.”

“Faith: not wanting to know what the truth is.”

Twitter has redesigned and now it's a lot easier for me to accidentally open porn

This got me humming a Leonard Cohen song:

It will only drive you insane

In today's episode of 'news to make you feel old', 39 year old Venus Williams has been drawn to play 15 year old Cori Gauff in the Wimbledon first round.

That's the age difference between my mother and I.

_tunic_ · 06.28.2019, 05:45 AM

wow, youngest qualifier ever to qualify for Wimbledon (not youngest player to play it though). And she won 6-1 6-1 against a ranked player. Probably won't come far this year, but may have a bright future. Williams started playing in 1994, she was born in 2004 :-D

_tunic_ · 07.02.2019, 03:03 AM

holy cow! that was such a great match yesterday of Graub versus V. Williams! On both sides. And Graub was the winner in the end. Looking forward to see her grow in this tournament (let's hope), but especially in her career as a pro player.
It's a shame that the career of Venus has been marred by all of her injuries and illnesses since 2003 (check her Wikipedia page). In their heydays it just wasn't fun to watch tennis anymore, either one of the sisters would win in the end anyways.

choc e-Claire · 07.02.2019, 03:25 AM

I must admit I'm only a casual tennis fan. In reality, I'm hardcore for a week during the Australian Open but only pay vague attention at other times.

But Ash Barty, world #1 - carn Straya.

In other news, I'm staying at my grandparent's at the moment.

My English Language teacher was having a very insightful discussion with a few girls in my class about Tinder.
