A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

Boys have inherent value, not just instrumental value. Cute post.

Hey speak for yourself!

So will they just stand around displaying their inherit value, or providing instrumental value equal to that of a delicious milkshake?

I could teach you, but I'd have to charge.

You would have to pay me, and even then...

Or, you know, it's a reference to a song by Kelis.

Edit: That led me to this instrumental mix of the song, which would be a pretty awesome dance track on its own.

I was focused on the information the referencer added. The song makes no mention of labor or idiots. The tweeting author's message is that there is a distinct value difference in laborers and idiots. Please excuse me, I took it too personally, because I am not only a laborer and an idiot, but I am also boy who is predisposed to an attraction to yards containing milkshakes. 🥤
