Trying to find an old tumblr post I used to see a lot.

It started with someone listing "places with uncanny energy," like gas stations on a road trip, empty movie theaters, etc.

Then someone reblogged it and said those are called "liminal spaces," defining liminal as in-between, neither one thing nor another.

It was the first time I'd seen the term "liminal" applied to places like that, and it's driving me crazy, I want to find and put a date on it so bad.

NEVER MIND, I FOUND IT!!!

[ieattaperecorders]

Holy shit I just realized:

Tomorrow (July 4th, 2026) is the 10 year anniversary of the-crepes-of-wrath's comment, which:

Predates the 2020 spike in interest by four years

Predates the original backrooms post, and the the creation of r/liminalspaces by three years

Predates the earliest mention that KnowYourMeme attributes to Twitter by two years

I'm pretty sure this is the moment the term "liminal spaces" was attached to this sort of imagery, and it's TEN YEARS OLD TOMORROW!

LIMINAL SPACES TURN TEN TOMORROW! CELEBRATE BY GETTING LOST IN AN ABANDONED MALL!

To be clear for the notes, OP isn't saying this post invented the concept of liminal spaces / liminality. The post mentioned seems to mark the first time the concept was applied to "photos of places with uncanny energy" and caused the term to be introduced to pop culture.

the-crepes-of-wrath did not invent the concept nor did they claim to! liminality was conceptualized by folklorists / anthropologists, initially to describe a three-part process of rites of passage. the wikipedia page goes into all kinds of contexts liminality has been applied in. unfortunately a lot of people do not know this & think "liminal" is just a word for "spooky or uncanny." a shame imo!

happy birthday to The Concept Of Liminality Being Applied To Photos Of Uncanny Places!

Yes! The beginning of an art movement.

"Not-deer" also originated with a tumblr post.

[proudfreakmetarusonikku]

liminality is awesome i learnt about it from those fairy tales about having to avoid seemingly contradictory things (like, you can’t be clothed or naked so the hero wears a net which isn’t clothing but also isn’t nudity). i wish the whole idea of being an in between that’s sort of both things but also isn’t was kept more i think there’s been linguistic drift in what a liminal space is.

Someone somewhere is the best in the world at sucking dick and it's meaningless. They aren't famous. There's no prize. It's not a competition. None of us are competitors. You don't have anything to prove. All that matters is that you keep sucking. Maybe we can even suck on it together.

”how do i get people interested in my ocs” TAG THEM. BY NAME. HAVE AN ORIGINAL CHARACTER TAG I CAN LOOK THROUGH. PLEADE. SOURCE TAG AND THEN INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER TAG. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE CLICKED THROUGH THREE DIFFERENT VARIATIONS OF “#OC” ON SOMEONES BLOG TO GET THE FULL EXTENT OF THEIR ORIGINAL CHARACTER ART I REALLY WANT TO SEE. TOO MANY. THREE HUNDRED POSTS HIDDEN BECAUSE I WAS GOING THROUGH THE “ORIGINAL CHARACTER” TAG AND NOT THE “OCS” TAG ON THEIR BLOG. YOU MUST DO THIS FOR ME.

good news OP, quite a few people were upset that we called our yuri milf game a milf game, and were even further scandalized to learn it was for a “yuri” game jam because yuri is a bad word also now, too, for some reason

[vanquishedvaliant]

!!! @xekstrin you can’t just mention a yuri milf game and not gives us links to plug it!! I want to know!! I want to know about the yuri milfs!!!

[xekstrin]

It’s called Love On The Peacock Express  you play as a cocky detective on a train full of milfs who have mysteries to solve

i don't think bodily autonomy for minors should be a luck of the draw type thing where you have to cross your fingers that your parents are chill about it.
