I wake up. I don't want to be awake. I lie in bed and wish I could stay there forever. I think about my classes. we never do anything of value in my 10am, I spend the whole hour playing 2048 on my computer. and everything we go over in my 9am is online. I could just skip them both and only have to go to my 1pm today before having the weekend to relax.

but I have inner strength. I know that if I skip my classes this morning--this perfect crisp fall weather morning that I've been waiting for--if I stay in bed today, my will would crumble. I would never be able to rouse myself to get up and go to my morning classes again.

so I drag myself out of bed, I get dressed and brush my teeth, I even put on makeup, because I am unstoppable and I can suffer today so my strength is only fortified for the challenges that I will face as the semester advances forth. I journey twenty minutes to the opposite edge of campus, the sun searing my irises, the humidity making even this 52° morning uncomfortably thick and soupy. and I walk triumphantly into the building, having garnered the courage to overcome the many trials thrown at me.

and the paper sign on the door to the classroom tells me that my 9am is cancelled

[enragedbees]

it's a similar morning.

only a few hours to go before the official start of fall break. I have three classes today, one is cancelled by the time I wake up.

my alarm doesn't go off. odd. but I still wake up right when I need to be awake to make it to my first and only two classes at 9 and 10. but why should I leave the comfort of my bed and the loving embrace of my plushes? there's nothing I'll get by going to class that I can't get from perusing the content online later. why not get an early start to my break?

but I know. I know if I don't go to class, I'll never have the strength to get up and go again. and so I rise, checking my email and online class forum to ensure it isn't cancelled, and I go.

I get to class. less than half of the students are here. we all slump in our seats like the under-caffeinated prisoners to our loan providers that we are.

my professor walks in. he sets a sheet of paper down in the front of the room.

"everyone come write your name on this paper. you all get extra credit for being here."

vindication.

TUMBLR 101: a helpful guide for tiktok refugees

are YOU a former tiktok user trying to learn how to use tumblr to fill the void the american tiktok ban is leaving in your soul? here are some things you should know, from someone who’s going on their eighth year on this hellsite:

1. you can say anything on here. gone are the days of having to use words like “unalive” and “seggs.” murder! kill! sex! fuck! speak your mind!

2. there is a community for you on here. regardless of what you’re into or however small the fandom is, you have a place here. at least one other person will have heard of your weird obscure interest. strike up a conversation!

3. followers don’t matter. tumblr is one of the last remaining social media sites in which your number of followers means absolute jack shit. this can be disorienting at first, but once you lean into the fact that everyone on this website is equal, it’s very freeing. clout means nothing here.

4. similarly, you can post at any time. while tiktok has an algorithm that favors certain times, tumblr has no such algorithm. post whatever you want, whenever you want. every post has virtually the same chance at getting notes, regardless of when it is posted.

5. tags can have spaces between the words! this one is very exciting. tags can be a whole sentence. you can also use the tags to comment on someone’s post without actually adding onto the physical post itself (which is sometimes frowned upon and called “derailing” if you use this feature to bring up a completely different point other than the one that’s being made on the original post).

TL;DR: speak your mind, find your place, followers don’t matter, post anytime, have fun with tags!! tumblr is a wonderful site used to share things you’re excited about. be patient with yourself as you’re learning and have fun!

5b. tags are also for organization and reach! Come up with a tagging system to help yourself and other users find posts more easily on your own blog. However, be mindful of the relevancy of your tags!! If you tag a fandom or character that’s not even mentioned on the post, that is considered spam and people will probably block you for it.

Patton: Logan, I've always considered us to be very good friends. GREAT friends. Remember Sherlock and Watson?

Logan: I do. But you married my worst enemy.

Patton: I know.

Janus: Well, I think enemy is a strong word, because I think we have a really charming back and forth--

Logan: Enough.

gosh but like we spent hundreds of years looking up at the stars and wondering “is there anybody out there” and hoping and guessing and imagining

because we as a species were so lonely and we wanted friends so bad, we wanted to meet other species and we wanted to talk to them and we wanted to learn from them and to stop being the only people in the universe

and we started realizing that things were maybe not going so good for us— we got scared that we were going to blow each other up, we got scared that we were going to break our planet permanently, we got scared that in a hundred years we were all going to be dead and gone and even if there were other people out there, we’d never get to meet them

and then

we built robots?

and we gave them names and we gave them brains made out of silicon and we pretended they were people and we told them hey you wanna go exploring, and of course they did, because we had made them in our own image

and maybe in a hundred years we won’t be around any more, maybe yeah the planet will be a mess and we’ll all be dead, and if other people come from the stars we won’t be around to meet them and say hi! how are you! we’re people, too! you’re not alone any more!, maybe we’ll be gone

but we built robots, who have beat-up hulls and metal brains, and who have names; and if the other people come and say, who were these people? what were they like?

the robots can say, when they made us, they called us discovery; they called us curiosity; they called us explorer; they called us spirit. they must have thought that was important.

and they told us to tell you hello.
