listen i might be drunk but im right. art & literature & nature & music make life worth living. people who look like they were ripped out of a caravaggio painting make life worth living. go organize a bacchanal in the woods. take pics of your lover in your hotel room in venice. who cares if there’s a void in your soul. who cares if you can’t get attached to anyone. neither can michelangelo’s david.
i would save the threads falling off your clothes just to feel more intertwined with you.

I THINK I AM GOING TO CUT MY HAIR
(ID: a poem by OP.)
I THINK I AM GOING TO CUT MY HAIR
because i can’t get my hands on anything else. new years eve again and my body is full of fruit flies like last year and i still haven’t taken out the trash. in the new year i’ll have a clean room. i’ll call my mother on the phone and buy fresh oranges from the market. i’ll tell the girl i love her and she will kiss me because my room is clean. but it’s 11 pm and my walls are the color of old blackberries and my body is molding from the inside, mushrooms blossoming in the soft parts of my skull. new year’s eve again and i am going to be good this time. i am going to be good. i think i am going to cut my hair.

Seriously tho tumblr whats up with the tagging system
tbh no april fools gag tumblr ever pulls will ever be as good as the lizard election of 2016 staff put more effort into that than the rest of this website combined and it shows
for those of you who werent here in 2016 on april fools that year the entire fucking website was transformed and there was an election for a position that wasnt even ever specified and the candidates were four lizards (or three lizards and a salamander as a scandal would later prove) and it was called decision2016
each lizard had their own 3d models and tumblr blog and campaign and there was also a tumblr blog dedicated to reporting on the election and they made like whole ass news broadcasts with a guy in front of a green screen
you could vote for your favorite candidate and there was a built-in function that let you make and post a campaign poster
in case anyone was wondering the winner of the election was mop. relatable and reliable. #Mop Could
lest we forget
This was absolutely the biggest April Fools effort I ever witnessed while on staff. I already posted about this in an ask but here’s more of the shit that went down behind the scenes.
- Like all April Fools, this was done entirely through volunteer work on Staff. No one was forced to work on April Fools, it’s always employee-initiated and driven, even if it needs approval from leadership.
- The prank almost didn’t go through because leadership felt that the lizards weren’t relatable enough, so the compromise was to give them hats.
- The video updates on the Decision 2016 blog were greenscreen Fiverr actors that were all recorded months? Weeks? in advance? I wasn’t on creative so I don’t know all the deets about how those were made.
- As mentioned in my post, the victory speech by Mop was one of our designers screaming as loud as she could in a closet near the end of the day. The full audio was never posted but staff kept passing around the scream on slack and laughing about it for months afterwards
- There was a “war room” dedicated to advancing the election narrative as votes came in, posting updates in real time and also pushing changes to code as necessary (for bug fixes and what not)
- The votes were real and the “election” was decided by real users, even if the graphics and whatnot were exaggerated for comical effect. Mop won because Mop won. Democracy at work
- Someone brought in their own lizard to celebrate the proceedings. It was a bearded dragon
- This was the culmination of what was probably the most cohesive and imaginative (and largest) creative team Tumblr ever had. Unfortunately almost all of them are now long gone, and Tumblr Creative is now just a skeleton crew compared to their peak
- Wretched Tooth Doesn’t Like To Talk About Himself
- People drew porn of the lizards and posted it on Tumblr. Staff saw it and were sending it to each other on the company Slack. We thought it was great. I mean, terrifying, but great
- This picture of David Karp is my favorite photo of David Karp I have on my phone

mop’s legitimacy has finally been proven.
relatable and reliable. #Mop Could #Mop Did

I had an idea for a meme, and unfortunatley for everyone I decided to actually go with it.
NO THOUGHTS ONLY HARRY DANCING LIKE THIS
remembering old internet friends that you just fell out of contact with is the worst pain. i love you, but we never said goodbye. we said “see you tomorrow” like the optimists we were. i miss you, the loss of you from my life has impacted me, but still the world turns. you could be dead, but i don’t know to mourn you. if i see you in the streets, will i know it’s you? the same face i brought many smiles to? will we pass each other by, neither of us the wiser? i wish i could go back, back to that day we started not talking, and say hello, perhaps extending our friendship just a bit longer. i will never forget you, and to me, we remain the closest of friends. i will always remember you, even if you may not return it.
it’s funny how desperate i am for genuine human connection despite the lengths i go to avoid it
