Baking is ridiculous. Stir these powders into a goo and them warm them up until they turn into some kind of edible sponge. Who came up with this.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Do you guys think maybe you gave too many notes to this one

[time-being-deactivated20250813]

It was a real power move to name one ingredient "baking powder", since there were already so many powders used in baking.

everything will probably be fine but i have to get really anxious just in case

[mutopians]

before we get an official announcement on who is replacing biden as the nominee, im just going to put this out there: do not mess this up. i don't care how little you like politics. i don't care if this new nominee isn't your first choice.

our alternative is trump. third party splits the votes, and abstaining is just going to fuck the entire united states over. your vote (AND support) matters, and i better see anyone who doesn't want trump to be elected and the United States to become a fascist, authoritarian regime throwing their full support behind this new nominee.

we have three months to go. we're in crunch time. if you don't want to lose your rights, support this new nominee with everything you've got.

edit: just in case this somehow wasn't obvious, this is NOT the post to be a pessimist on. don't say we're fucked. say TRUMP is fucked. we can't go back and change the nomination timeline, but we can absolutely support our new nominee and ensure they get elected.

Just looked at a blog where the header description said 'sometimes I reblog posts I like so I don't forget them'.

And I feel like that, right there, explains so much about how the site has changed in the last few months.

People now think reblogging is an unusual behaviour, rather than a default.

Tumblr newbies, please, for the love of baby Jesus, reblog the posts you like. That is the whole reason the site exists - for you to collect all your shiny fandom objects in a single space. Which you can organize to your heart's content. Or not organize at all, if that's your jam.

Our blogs are intended to be collections of posts, not collections of likes.

[plague-of-insomnia]

THE ENTIRE POINT OF TUMBLR IS REBLOGGING.

Liking does absolutely nothing. There is no algorithm like on IG that will use likes to throw content at people. If you don’t reblog, then no one who doesn’t follow that person (or happen to find it in the tags) will see that post.

Tumblr is supposed to be your bookcase where you show off all of your pretties: the posts you like and the ones that you want to promote to support the other creators in your fandom/community.

The Percy Jackson casting announcement got me excited about the tv show and now I'm rereading the books again for the first time in 8 years, if I'm not mistaken.

I'd forgotten how good Riordan is at writing small, but heart-breaking passages, like Luke welcoming Percy to Cabin 12, in which Luke is like 'everybody treat Percy well, it's what we, as children of Hermes', have to do'. Yes, he's right, but he doesn't believe in any of it, he's being brain-washed and he's just pretending. My baby deserved better.

It also feels like no time has passed because these kids still mean the world to me. I love the journey the characters go through, you can actually see them become friends and how they evolve as people and heroes. Every time I compare 1st book Percy/Annabeth/Nico to 10th book them, I swell with pride. I feel like one of those gen Z kids who call characters they love 'my kids'.

I'm also not over the fates of some of these characters. I still want to cry every time I so much as think about Bianca di Angelo, Jason Grace, Luke Castellan.

I might be looking too far ahead but just wait until we get to Titans Curse and ‘that joke’ gets adapted.

We are gonna be so unbearable. Everyone is gonna fucking hate us and I cannot wait.

I was hunted by an alpha roserade the other day. I swear I never feared Pokémon until this game. This thing wanted BLOOD.

My psych professor mentioned swaddling in lecture so I emailed him a picture of me being swaddled in my dorm room and asked if I could get extra credit because it was really hot in there and I got really sweaty and he was like “fabulous, sure”

One of the things I love most about Leverage is that Eliot is essentially Barbie.

Yes, I know, a huge part of Eliot’s shtick is that people underestimate him. The hitter has brains too. But I feel like he is being underestimated so much more than just that.

Because Sophie is the actress, the grifter, she slips into roles. Parker, Nate and Hardison can play a part too, if it’s required.

But Eliot? He doesn’t just play a part. He actually brings the qualification for these very specific jobs.

He caters a rich people wedding, because he is actually a brilliant cook.

He becomes a country singer, because he can actually sing and play the guitar.

He becomes a famous baseball player for a hot second, because he really knows how to swing a bat.

He becomes a semi-professional wrestler, because he knows how to wrestle.

He doesn’t just play a persona, he actually slips into highly specific professions and does such a bang job of playing the part, because he can actually do all of those things.

He’s Barbie. And I love him for that.
