The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve.
Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.
If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.
Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.
This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!
It’s very clear that you all have strong feelings about Tumblr and about this change. We hear you. The passion people have for how Tumblr works is one of the things that makes this place special.
As this rolls out over the next few days and you explore it, we’ll keep reading your replies and reblogs, so please keep sharing your questions, concerns, and ideas.
Your creativity has always been the heart of Tumblr, whether you’re the original poster or adding something brilliant in the reblogs, and nothing about this change is meant to limit that.
If you’d like to talk directly beyond the comments, leave a reply and we’ll follow up with as many of you as we can. We want to work with you to make Tumblr better.
"So, Ladybug is under house arrest," Superman told the remaining heroes once the meeting ended. More especificaly, once only him, Superboy, Batman, Red Robin, Wonder Woman and Aquaman were alone in the room.
"Wait, what?!" Red Robin asked, confused.
"Dad, that's not how you tell people things," Jon frowned. "She's sick and got hospitalized. Her boyfriend is staying at her place since she got so ill she can barely leave the house," Superboy explained.
"That's why she isn't here today, then?" Wonder Woman asked, clearly worried. Suporboy nodded, trying to ease the conversation.
"She's feeling better, don't worry. We just wanted to let you guys know that she didn't miss the meeting on purpose. We'll fill her in once we can get in contact again," Superman explained, calmly. Bruce wanted to ask things, and so wanted Tim, but they chose to remain quiet.
It was weird that Marinette got sick almost immediately after she left Gotham.
Later that night, Tim couldn't get over the heavy feeling in his chest until he texted Kon to make sure Jon and Clark weren't keeping info from them.
nah. she just got real sick. like, throwing up and all that shit. billy took her to the hospital yesterday and we just found out that she's allergic to peaches, but just enough to get her stomach upset. no need to worry
Kon's way of passing info didn't allow him to actually cover up anything serious when it came to his friends, which helped Tim calm down. He made sure to let Damian and Jason know about the incident, but not Bruce. He could go and ask Clark like a grown-up.
Instead, Tim went around doing some digging on Marinette's life from when she lived in Paris, but not about her superhero persona.
With his master's thesis waiting to be written on his laptop, he preferred to fuss with his phone through her social media.
Tim wanted to know more about the girl who was sharp-tongued and quick on her feet. The same girl who won their hearts so easily.
He went through her social media and her friends' too. Found out that her favorite color hadn't always been black, and drinking soda is something relatively new for her.
Tim always wondered why she was so quiet, and a look into her lyceé's social media showed photos of her alone in the corner of the hallways, usually alone or with a blonde boy a little too familiar, but Tim couldn't pinpoint why.
There were also many pictures of her in her friends' social media, but barely any on her own. Tim saw some mean comments on a few of her posts and assumed she had been cyber bullied before at some point.
"What are you doing?" Damian's voice came from behind, startling Tim. He made a dramatic gesture of putting a hand over his heart and sighing while turning around on his chair.
"Can't you knock before getting in?" he scolded his younger brother, but with very little heat. "I was checking Marinette's Instagram. Seeing if there's any updates on her health," it was a half lie, but true enough that Damian couldn't contest. After a moment of silence, Damian sighed and sat on Tim's bed.
"Jon told me she had to be rushed to the hospital again because she had an allergic reaction to her allergy meds. They had to change to another one, " the news made Tim chuckle, lowering his phone.
< - >
"I remember when we had to do the same with you. Bruce really freaked out that day," thinking about it now, it made total sense that she had the same reaction as Damian. "Do not tell Bruce. He'll freak out again."
"Wasn't considering doing so. She's better now, that's all that matters."
"Yeah," Tim turned back to look at his laptop. His thesis untouched after all the time he spent looking up Marinette online. "That's all that matters."
I really love to go to coffee shops with my sims, to make hot tea or coffee in the morning, it adds some coziness and atmosphere to their pixel lives!
But alas, in the game, all hot drinks look the same (yes, yes, the same mug with some dark drink for all occasions):
Not too long ago, I substituted cocoa with marshmallows and it turns out that this small substitution turned out to be a favorite of many! So I decided to redesign the appearance of absolutely all warming drinks (if I missed something - let me know in the comments!). To do this, I created new objects so that the appearance of each drink would be unique.
I was inspired to create this mod by the default mug replacement from the wonderful creator JariSimCC. His mugs look awesome and most importantly - they fit perfectly in the Sim's hand! He gave me permission to use his mash (i.e. he made the shape of the mug, I just drew textures for it). Be sure to check out his blog, he has a lot of cool CC content and different swaps!!!
Replaced all drinks from:
〇 tea brewer (Base Game)
〇 coffee maker (Base Game)
〇 electric kettle ("For Rent")
〇 espresso bar ("Get Together")
✧ DOWNLOAD ✧
MAIN MOD:
~ Coffee&Tea Override
ADDON:
~ Tuning Addon (increases the number of “sips” from 3 to 5, and adds 50 calories to coffee drinks)
It is desirable not to put the files with texture replacement deeper than one subfolder in the Mods folder. Also, this mod will conflict with any mod that replaces these textures (I know for sure that A.I. Upscaled Food is not compatible with my mod).
don't ever look up what your childhood friends are up to now!!!!!!!!!! like girl you're a nuclear safety engineer. i put on matching socks today. we played tag a thousand years ago.
The textile book: okay here is some of the ways that textiles are important to human life
me: Okay!
The textile book: Clothes separate the vulnerable human body from the conditions of the outside world, and in doing so absorb the sweat and debris of human existence, accumulating wear and tear according to the lives we live. In this way, various lifestyles and professions are represented by clothing, and the clothing of a loved one retains the imprint of their physical body and their life being lived, as though the clothes absorb part of the wearer's soul
Me: ...oh
The textile book: The process of weaving a garment and the process of a child being formed in its mother's womb are often referred to using the same language. Likewise, when a baby is born, a blanket or other textile material is the first material object it encounters and protects it. Textiles can create the idea of two things being inextricable, as with being "woven together," or can create the sense of separateness, as with a curtain or veil that separates two rooms or spaces, even separating the living from the dead, or separating two realities, such as a performance ending when the curtain falls
Me: ...oh God
The textile book: Odysseus's wife Penelope undid her weaving in secret every night to delay the advances of her suitors. In this way she was able to turn back the passage of time to allow her husband to come home. Likewise the Lakota tell a story of an old woman embroidering time by embroidering a robe with porcupine quills. If she finishes the embroidery, the world will come to an end, but her faithful dog pulls out the quills whenever her back is turned, turning back the clock and allowing existence to continue.
me: ...is...is...is that why we refer to the fabric of space and time?
The textile book: The technological revolution of textile making is sadly underappreciated. The textile arts are possibly the most fundamental human technology, as once people created string and rope, they could create nets for catching fish and small animals, and bags and baskets for carrying food. In the earliest prehistoric times, the first string or cord perhaps came from sinew, found in the body of an animal. Because of this perhaps the body of a living being could be understood as made of a textile material. Indeed textiles have the function of preserving life, as with a surgeon stitching back together the human body or bandages being placed on a wound. Textile technologies are being used to create life-changing implants to restore function to injured parts of the body, as though a muscle or tendon can be woven and made in this way. Cloth can be used to create a parachute that will save a human's life as they plummet out of the sky. Ultimately, the textile technologies are used to enter new parts of the universe.

So, like most of us, I really wanted to get my hands on the full book. Unfortunately, it's out of print, and even the used copies are going for hundreds of dollars.
But! You can still read it! You can download it from Anna's Archive here or borrow it from the Internet Archive here. It is a clear scan in PDF format.
fuck it, i never ever do those “reblog for X, this one really works!” posts, but this one doesn’t have any of that BS, this is just straight up wishing us good things; and then the comment doesn’t even say any of that either. Zero claims on this post, all positive vibes
May you end this week feeling ever more certain of a future you’ll love
May you end this week surrounded by the scent of pine boughs, mulled wine, laughter, and the joy of having 6submitted your Yuletide Treasure story early.
i found this image to be quite inspirational, thus i wish to share it. you don't have to make something phenomenal much less rather something exceptional. you must first put it out there and tweak things later because you cannot build off of something you put nothing into. some day you'll regret never putting yourself out there.
