Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

[meraarts]

Might I add:

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship

Cemeteries are not wastes of space. Historical cemeteries ESPECIALLY are not wastes of space. The fact developers are continuously foaming at the mouth to destroy them and put a strip mall up in their place should make you even more determined to help maintain them. In urban areas, they are a haven for wildlife. They are a green space. If you are too afraid of death to utilize them for that purpose, that is on you.

[zooophagous]

Thank you. Historically cemeteries were treated as parks, and it wasn't uncommon to see people not only enjoying the grounds but actually playing games and having picnics there. Somewhere along the line we decided that these activities were inappropriate and that cemeteries were off limits and now people see them as wasted space because they feel too awkward to enjoy them.

They're not only beautiful green spaces but excellent public displays of history and art history, and if you care to look closely you can find out a lot just by studying stones.

For example- notice how few modern headstones are dedicated to young children versus the ones erected before vaccines were widespread.

The cemetery near here has the state's largest silver maple crowning its grounds. Many of the trees in older cemeteries are some of the largest and oldest trees in an area.

Cemeteries are for the living, not the dead. Enjoy them. Go birdwatching in them. Don't be stupid in them sure but don't be too afraid to touch them either.

And for the love of God don't mindlessly support turning them into parking lots and ""luxury"" condos.

doves and pigeons being basically identical scientifically speaking is so important to me.

the dove, the symbol of the Holy Spirit, of God's immeasurable love and mercy come to intercede for us. is the same bird as the common "flying rat" of the cities, the slums, the poor, dilapidated areas that most folk would never willingly go.

even there. there is God. and He comes scruffy and dirty

On this day (14 March) in 1887 Sylvia Beach, owner of the Paris-based bookstore Shakespeare and Co., was born in Baltimore. Beach moved to Paris at the age of 14 when her father, a Presbyterian minister, was sent to France. She fell in love with the city. In 1919, she opened her bookstore, Shakespeare and Co., which became a gathering place for American writers in Paris in the 1920s, including F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway.

Beach was a strong supporter of writer James Joyce, who lived in Paris from 1920 to 1940. The Irish writer had achieved fame with his 1915 novel, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and had started publishing his masterwork Ulysses in serial form in an American magazine called the Little Review. However, the serialization was halted in December 1920, after the U.S. Post Office brought a charge of obscenity against Joyce’s work. Beach published the book herself in July 1922. It wasn’t until 1933 that a U.S. judge permitted Ulysses to be distributed in the U.S.

When working at the jewelry store I referenced the ship of Theseus all the time without actually being able to reference the ship of Theseus.

People would get emotional about needing to swap out gems or work on the metal. I’d say, “If you had a violin and had to change the strings it’s still the same violin, right? If you have to put new tires on your car it’s still your car. Your ring will still be yours even if we change a small component of it.”

This generally worked extremely well in overcoming the emotional component because they couldn’t deny that it would in fact still be their ring.

Ship of Theseus solved by mass consensus.

Idk who has to hear this today but sometimes the devil doesn’t need an advocate. Sometimes the devil is already winning

[teaboot]

Saying this as a recovered devil’s advocate btw, that bitch didn’t need my help he just wanted the exposure

[kubleeka]

[bogleech]

hold on....

Do people actually not know what "playing devil's advocate" is supposed to be for???

It is not that thing trolls do where they play both sides to fuck with people, or any other deception tactic.

Devil's advocate is when you make an argument you strictly do not agree with, and everyone present us supposed to know that's what you're doing, because it's like a roleplay training session.

You imagine what you'd say if you were your enemy, in order to brainstorm the counterpoints you would make against all of *those* points. A debate team agrees to do this as a mental exercise, it's not meant to just be sprung on people.

Everyone knows this is its original meaning right?? :(

[behindnightmaresanddreams]

nobody knows anything actually.

[karis-the-fangirl]

How dare you say we advocate for pissing on the devil

[funfactbuck-deactivated20260403]

shane’s a lot of things and one of them is that he’s yeah, kinda boring. and as someone who also considers themselves boring, it delights me to see ilya endeared by it and love shane for it, not in spite of it. and with how persistently ilya pursues him and how passionately he shows his attraction and interest, shane’s never left doubting that while ilya may call him boring, he’s not bored by him - that’s the distinction, that’s why ilya fell for him.

[desiarthoe]

Yeah and as someone like Ilya, I think it's not the boriingness that he finds endearing but the competence cus like Shane might be boring but he is NOT incapable or falling short. He is more than accomplished in his field and is QUALIFIED. I think that should count for something. Then being boring is fine.

[desiarthoe]

I singed my hand making coffee, trying to dodge another brewing psychotic break. Common drugs don't cut it these days and the money is running short. I have cats to take care of and expectations of degrees to fulfill, laundry to fold before my coffee runs out. Before my borrowed courage and curated time travelling comes to an end, I need to savor whatever moment I get to put my pieces back together. Pretending gets the prose flowing and keeps the perusal alive.

It's my 9 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Goddamn

[desiarthoe]

I am in my room, staring at a moldy ceiling with my headphones on;

But I am not in my room; I am 12, lying on my back, on a playground far away

The grass is slightly wet from dew, it stains my jeans while an empty swing creaks a few feet away from me, nudged by a gentle wind

I am 12 yet I carry the same melancholia I have at 26, the world is too heavy to bear and too large to feel like home
