current inexplicable media obsession: criminal minds
on ao3 as sampenning
My 2026 new year's resolution is to comment on every fic I read, so get ready
well, i guess here's a tag guide
main features:
humans — tag to collect examples of the weird and wonderful and beautiful and idiotic nature of humanity.
media criticism — junk drawer of metacognitive observations and shitposts about culture and media.
tumblr culture study — collective tag for stuff i think surmises the general vibe of tumblr's online community culture. also a catch-all for meta-tumblr stuff. started tagging on Nov 4, 2020, for obvious reasons.
corporate warfare — posts about working under capitalism. marx, give me strength.
chronic pain chronicles — posts and vents about living with chronic pain.
posts i would want to share with my dad — posts that i think my dad would've liked and laughed at.
me dot txt — posts i made. Helps differentiate content from tag "personal," which means it's about my personal life.
what it says on the tin:
art – brain stuff – cats – christmas – crochet – fanfic – food – fuck yeah forklifts – gender stuff – health stuff – history – just ace things – language – literature – me tbh – music – poetry – politics – queer stuff – quilts – quotes – robots – science! – shakespeare – SPACE – tattoos – tech – textiles – writing
honorable mentions (aka tags with funny and specialized names that i feel don't get enough recognition and i'm sooooo clever for coming up with them):
not to be a lesbian but oh my god dot jpeg — pretty ladies make brain go burrr
oh cousin oskaar we're really in it now — for daylight savings
you can really feel the tumblr userbase aging dot jpeg — yeah
pete buttigieg is just a faggot dot vaspider dot txt — posts about queer respectability and cultural acceptance, based on that one essay-post by vaspider
sigmund freud hate blog — look i studied crit theory in grad school and there's a lot of nuance to this, and freud is, unfortunately, kind of important to consider and talk about in terms of the history of psychology as a science and the development of modern literary theory, but the man is an over-praised HACK and the only thing he ever got even remotely right was "people be thinking but not realize they be thinking." wow. so smart. very psychology.
can we be bees? — about bees. references inside joke from a Pretend You're Xyzzy game where 50% the cards just said "bee"
corona time — about Covid-19 and the on-going pandemic
my ears are not friends with my brain — can't hear the haters because of my tinnitus and auditory processing issues
the jesus fandom — tag for christianity
all cats are fueled by autism in their own special way dot jpeg — specialty cat tag for cats with oddly specific interests

asoiaf (a song of ice and fire) — bcs (better call saul) — bcs meta — brba (breaking bad) — brba meta — criminal minds — dracula daily — got (game of thrones) — palia — supernatural — star trek — the sims
