reblog if you remember what it felt like to walk into blockbuster

[willowofthehearth]

If you’re reblogging this maybe also do a couple stretches. Gods know our back and shoulders could use it.

[lilisonna]

The aging of the Tumblr userbase does more for my stretching routine then anything else.

Thank you, my generational cousins. I will go and stretch now.

I wish AI would stop making so many animal story posts. I LOVE animals and they are ruining the loving-animals ecosystem. And also the real ecosystem

The truffle hunting cat is AI, I’m so sorry guys

[gingerkingfisher]

Fuck AI, look at my handsomest boy instead, he helps me in the garden by digging holes next to where I am digging. He is not helping at all, but I appreciate his spirit, we are bonding.

"Aro/Ace person gets given a love potion" story but instead of them being immune or whatever, it DOES work, and they realize IMMEDIATELY that they've been fed a love potion because this feeling is so wrong and foreign but everyone keeps laughing off the idea of it being a love potion because "they were probably just a late bloomer" or "no, you just finally found the right person!" and it's just a horror story about how no one believes them even though they know, they KNOW this isn't right and they can't stand it.

Generally I am a big believer in that the 'season' for a holiday starts no more than a month before the date. My two exceptions for this are buying a present I think someone would like and throwing it in my closet and planning my Halloween costume (no cheaply made expensive to buy single outfits for me). Anyway, I have an idea but I cannot decide whether it is good or not.

Imagine, you are at a trunk or treat and see someone dressed as a Christmas elf. A blow up reindeer has a cast on its leg. There are cardboard signs around that say things like 'North Pole or Bust' 'Will make toys for work' 'Help Dasher' ect.

Your opinions please

This is hilarious

Everyone needs to stop saying death of the author when what they mean is separating the art from the artist. Like FR stop it.

[penny-anna]

I know it's mainly just ignorance of what the term means but I do wonder if this happens in part bcos 'death of the author' sounds so dramatic like oh this author is dead to me, I don't care about them anymore. Whereas 'separating the art from the artist' is a lot more neutral and well. In CERTAIN CASES it is kind of immediately apparent that you cannot.

[penny-anna]

TO REITERATE:

Death of the Author is a term coined by Roland Barthes for his essay of the same name in 1967.

In brief: death of the author is the concept that analysis of a work of art should not be focused on the artist's intent; the artist's intended reading of their own work is just A reading and no more valid than anyone else's.

A good straightforward example of this in practice is the response to Andy Weir and Project Hail Mary. Weir is adamant that his work contains no politics but I would say that PHM is pretty clearly a story about climate change.

You can apply death of the author to any work of fiction and it has nothing to do with whether the author is a good or bad person.

Whoever sends out GOP instructions to various politicians and media figures: "Okay, we need to cover this Mitch thing up so, why don't a few of you say you spoke to him? Throw in a few political topics, make it sound like he's been keeping up. Nothing too crazy though, he's in the hospital still, so don't say it was for an hour or even a full half hour. Maybe 20 or less? Keep it around there, champs." That guy after three politicians say the 20 minutes part specifically and literally everyone online clocks it:

Working on a new painting / repainting of a very old acrylic painting (right)… kind of funny to see the improvement but it’s so slow going to get the character looking how I pictured him. I am enjoying rendering the clothes and accessories I couldn’t back then though, fancy elf outfits are my fave to design.

Socialism gives you insurance and dignity in the form of social security.

Capitalism gives you unneeded prisons, overfunded police, and dystopian surveillance.

Both parties are not the same.
