Tumblr is like our elderly dog and when she makes an especially scary cough we apparently think "oh god it's the big one"
Grief is a spectrum as you can see
Our shit dog is alive and we love her
I will die before I slander my mutuals with a gluten-free portrayal
for those who donāt remember, āmole interestā was an experiment I did 2 years ago because I wanted to test what causes tags to go trending on tumblr. My hypothesis was that all it takes is one (1) post blowing up in an established tag to make the entire tag trend.
I had randomly generated 2 words, which is where āmole interestā came from. I failed to consider that by generating a new tag, it wouldnāt have had enough posts already in it to prove what I now call āthe mole interest effectā.
But now it does.
In 2023, we said āfuck itā a la mythbusters and ended up doing whatever it took to get #mole interest to trend. And it did. And it happened to be September 11th that day, and we managed to get #mole interest to trend ABOVE #9/11.
So, in the name of science, I ask you to reblog just this post. Letās put the mole interest effect to the test.
you guys have gotten this to 20k in 2 and a half hours thatās insane
itās still not trending! so far this could mean:
20k is not enough for one post to make a tag trend, but it could be possible with more notes
All the other trending tags have more activity in general at the moment, but the mole interest effect could work on a particularly slow day
I was wrong, and the mole interest effect isnāt a thing! It happens sometimes. But a disproven hypothesis doesnāt mean the experiment āfailedā! Being wrong is still a learning opportunity. You guys are helping me collect (mole) interesting data regardless!
You there! Federal museum professional educator or FEMA climatologist or NOAA metereologist or CISA cybersecurity specialist or Army civilian logistics employee. How would you like to work for ICE? No? Not interesting? Youāre working for ICE now. Youāre working for ICE or youāre quitting. You donāt get a choice. Youāre an ICE brown shirt or youāre out of a job.
This is not hyperbole. This is happening across the entire United States government.
Today my museum announced three employees are āsurplusā and have been offered jobs with ICE. The Army is deactivating two commands and combining them. The surplus civilian employees from this merger? Sent to ICE.
FEMA has been forced to transfer employees to ICE mid-hurricane season.
100 Federal Air Marshals are being offered to ICE. 250 IRS agents are detailed to ICE. The Postal Inspection Service too. 2,000 people from the Justice Department - FBI, DEA, etc - and Department of Defense civilians are now being authorised to be transferred, either to ICE or military operations like the border or the occupation of DC.
More than 6,700 personnel have been reassigned to ICE. 80% of the ATF has been ordered to focus on immigration instead of their other work. 24% of the Diplomatic Security Service.
Nobody wants to work for ICE, nobody wants to be la migra. So theyāre forcing it to happen at all costs.
what the fuck what the fuck what the fucking fuck
It's worth mentioning that forcing people to work for agencies that they don't want to work for is how you get problems with noncompliance and internal sabotage. So.... -pointed look-
This is also a class-action lawsuit waiting to happen. ACLU, do what you do.
Go ahead, creative thinkers. Find new and exciting ways to sabotage ICE from the inside.

If only Kishimoto loved Sakura Haruno as much as I do...
And even after so many years, I still come back to the thought of how Masashi Kishimoto did so little for Sakura Haruno. Iāve been hyperfixated on Sakura for five years, and I just wanted to pour out some of the feelings I have.
The fact that I read so many Sakura-centric/BAMF Sakura fanfics and enjoy various ships involving her is not a reflection of me self-inserting into the story, nor does it mean I have some kind of character flaw or distorted sexual fantasies, as Iāve heard people suggest. Itās simply my way of seeing Sakura Haruno being valued as much as I wish she had been in the original material.
Itās no surprise that she deserved proper development, but Kishimoto wasted every opportunity he had with her. Everything he could have done, even if she were just a civilian-born ninja with no special abilities besides good chakra controlā¦ Even if her family were simple, ordinary people (not that Kishimoto even bothered to mention them. Canonically, we donāt even know what Sakuraās parents look like, except when used as a narrative device to highlight Narutoās or Sasukeās moments as orphans). Even without secret techniques, without Kekkei Genkai, without being a reincarnation, he still could have done something for Sakura.
All the hate the character receives is a direct result of Kishimotoās choices regarding her. I understand that Sakura is not a protagonist and that the story essentially revolves around Naruto and Sasuke, but Kishimoto was so meticulous in developing characters like Kakashi, Gaara, and Shikamaru (all of whom are close to the protagonist), that I donāt think itās unreasonable to criticize how little Sakura received. Nothing about her was developed as much as she deserved. The kind of feelings Kishimoto made Sakura have for Sasuke at various points in the story were inconsistent. It would have been amazing if he hadnāt written her primarily as a love interest. If, from the very beginning, Team 7 had been built solely on bonds of friendship, without making Sakuraās entire first arc revolve around her being a fangirl. If he had wanted to include romantic relationships later, he could have done so subtly. But Sakura was written to fulfill that role in the beginning, and it became nearly impossible to detach her from that image once she began to mature. The early part of any work is crucial for presenting characters to the audience. First impressions were distorted by numerous unnecessary decisions on the authorās part, and one mistake after another left Sakura completely sidelined.
Itās no wonder Sakura constantly reflects on the feeling of being left behind. Sheās left out of Sasuke and Narutoās bond. Their relationship is transcendent, mythical, involving the reincarnation of brothers, with a mix of emotionsāfriends, rivals, soulmates, attraction, admiration, envy, passion, and so on. Sheās left out of Kakashiās bond with Sasuke (itās explicitly stated that Kakashi sees himself in Sasuke). Sheās left out of Kakashiās bond with Naruto (all the backstory Kishimoto developed between Kakashi, Minato, and Kushina). And Sakura is left with nothing. This idea that Kakashi sees Rin in Sakura is neither canon nor as explicit as everything else I mentioned.
Kishimoto ruins everything he touches. Or almost everything. Ino and Sakuraās friendshipā¦ I have no words to describe it. He almost ruined that, too. But thereās still something bittersweet about the fact that he created drama and rivalry between them over a crush. It makes me roll my eyes every time I reread it as an adult.
Anywayā¦ Thereās so much to point out, but I feel more frustrated every time I remember it all. I never wanted a perfect Sakura Haruno. I just wanted her to be respected by the author. And for that, Iām grateful to the Sakura-centric fanfic writers who soothe my heart with truly wonderful stories.
Sakura Haruno Fic Master List!!
Sakura is one of my all time favourite characters and she just doesn't get enough love. I think (in my opinion) she has some of the best fanfiction out there in the Naruto fandom, so I've decided to take my favourites and organize them into lists for you all to enjoy! The first list you'll see is my original list, which is just general recs that I enjoyed. Anyway, let me know if you like my recs!!

How to Pay Hospital Bills When Youāre Flat Broke
Hey. Why isnāt the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isnāt that fucked up? Does anyone else think thatās absurd?
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! Thatās a big deal! Iāve never thought about it before but now that I have, itās ridiculous to me that thatās not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why donāt we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
Itās July 20th. Thatās the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. Iām ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and Iām going to have a goddamn potluck. Youāre all invited.
Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this
Hell yeah moon holiday
Ooh coming up we should celebrate
PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)
HAPPY MOON DAY EVERYONE
Hey a reminder to all salaried employees in the US that as of today, July 1st, you need to be making at least 43,888 per year or else your employer needs to pay you overtime at a rate of 1.5 per hour over 40 worked, as you are now non-FLSA exempt. On January 1st 2025 this number will increase to 58,655 per year. Donāt let your employer cheat you.
@bitchesgetriches - this seems like it's up your alley?
cant stop thinking about this video
For context this was in response to someone saying their cybertruck was heavy duty
oh no no NO no no I am sorry my dear @thebirdtm you are NOT underselling one of the most seminal pieces of television of my entire childhood like that on MY watch.
"How is claiming they drowned a Hilux possibly underselling it" GREAT question.
To start with a little disclaimer, Top Gear's Hilux did not start off, as in the video above, in pristine condition. It started off with nigh-on 300k kms (for you yankees, that's about 8.4 million Boeing 737 wingspans) and a condition to match.
And it's only once careless driving around town yielded zilch in given shits...
(look, I found a local newspaper picturing it being driven around!)
...that they decided to drown it. Now, the underselling part: if you told me that they drowned a pickup the first place my mind would go to would be "driving it through a river a bit too deep for it, perhaps as deep as its height, until it stalls and then tugging it back out. You will concede that's rather different from tying it down on the seashore with the second highest tide in the world...
...and leaving it there until it engulfs the whole truck...
...only for the ropes to snap...
...and for the truck to be lost to the tides for FIVE HOURS.
(and for those wondering, yes, just as promised, well within an hour and the mandatory limits of basic tools and no spare parts, up the mechanic made the thing fire and away the presenter drove it - I must imagine doing a number on his clothes in the process.)
Oh also I would have mentioned the caravan.
Or at least the wrecking ball.
But hey, at least the fire was mentioned.
Still, I feel it's criminal to leave out how they celebrated it surviving all it did: by parking it at the top of a 23 story building for all to see! :)
Wait NO-
Well, that was uncalled for. Given what it survived, it deserved to rest in a museum instead of being unceremoniously cleared out with the other chunks of public housing that buried it.
Or at least, given that buried it wasn't...
...to be tumbled down from the rubble utop which it sat...
...and be fueled up.
"be fueled up", pfft, what for?, I hear you say. And you are right.
Look at that thing, you say.
Let's be serious now, however pretty of a story it would be that's not a truck that will do anything remotely in the ballpark of firing up, let alone running.
And again, you are right.
The battery was disconnected.
Sorted that, tho
"You can't be serious." Oh darling I sure can! "Well the presenters can't then" no no, I assure you, it lived. Go see it for yourself! It's at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieau, England!
I grew up watching Top Gear and it shaped me in many ways. My adoration of old Toyota Hiluxes is one of them.
This is cinema actually

Iām currently in an 80-person musical where the vast majority of the cast are children so last night we had an āinvited dressā before opening night where the kids brought their favorite toys to sit and be our first āaudience.ā
I will see if I can source a good photo from the cast. An entire auditorium populated with squishmallows and SpongeBob and Bluey and one adultās Supernatural dolls in the front row.
Director: Iāll just sit here between Unicorn-Pug and thisā¦ umā¦ Atari guy.
