Twitter is crumbling, y'all. It has a desperate sort of vibe, especially for anyone who makes NSFW material. I have no idea what is going to happen next.
If I only used Tumblr, this would be kind of hilarious.

Sans sweep was so powerful the residual shockwaves accidentally killed the fucking queen
Please know that I have returned to Tumblr today partly because Sans has been crowned ultimate Tumblr sexyman and partly for how wild it's gonna get here now that London Bridge has fallen.
THE THING
Youâll never forget it

Me when I insist I donât need to write it down
My best friend loves rob pattinson and over the years she sent me a lot of articles/quotes of him, so here are some of my favourites
(there is A LOT more, this man is INSANE)
Bonus:
Somewhere along the line Pattinson figured out the celebrity interview was 95% bullshit social contract with zero penalty associated with breaking it and ever since then he's turned them into his own personal postmodern entertainment project. I appreciate him for it.
I have returned.
Life got kind of busy for a few minutes. Nothing really major, but just small little things that needed to be done.
The iOS Toggle is Here!
Per the Jan 11th announcement, you can now see posts tagged with banned** tags and view flagged blogs on the iOS app.
To do this, open tumblr in a browser (this setting is not accessible on the iOS app itself) and go to your account settings. Then, click the âHide Sensitive Contentâ toggle in the âFilteringâ section. This setting is automatically turned on for everyone by default. Hereâs what the toggle looks like when it has been turned OFF (it will be highlighted blue when on):
But wait, youâre not done! For this setting to take effect, you must also make sure youâve updated the tumblr app to version 22.5.2 (or higher). To update the app, go to the app store, click your profile icon in the top right corner, and scroll down until to reach the updates section. If tumblr displays an âUpdateâ button, click it. You can check the version number by clicking âmoreâ in the update description.
Thatâs it, youâre done!
**This has no effect on anyone using tumblr via any other browser or app. All toggling this setting does is remove the recent iOS-only hardbanned tags and give iOS app users the same tumblr experience as everyone else. The soft ban on certain âNSFWâ tags thatâs been in effect since the Great Purge of 2018 is still in effect, at least as of right now. To understand the difference between softbanned and hardbanned tags check out my post about it HERE.
Also, a quick note to content creators: Even with this toggle, I would avoid using any of the hardbanned tags whenever possible because posts with those tags will still be completely hidden (in searches and on dashboards) on the iOS app for anyone who doesnât know about this workaround. Fortunately, it seems tumblr is currently reviewing the list and walking back some of the tags that were originally banned, seemingly for no reason as they had nothing to do with sensitive content. Most have not been reversed yet. Keep an eye on the banned tags list and continue to check tags yourself since @bannedtagsâ doesnât have all of them.
This solution is better than nothing, but weâre not out of the woods yet.
Wait. They arenât jokes. You guys really keep dozens of tabs open on your browser forever.
What if I want to return to my search for obscure russian idioms or go back to rereading 17776? What am I supposed to do, spontaneously remember that that was a thing I was doing, completely unprompted by visual stimulus or external reminders, and renew my search from the beginning in a fresh new tab? No, my cluttered nightmare of tabs is a way better solution if i ever even hope to come close to getting back to the things i leave for later.
USA Cultural Regions Map
This is super cool
For non-Americans: this is actually accurate and reflects how Americans understand ourselves and regional identities. These arenât official labels, but theyâre not totally made up either.
hi i've been trying to keep myself entertained so i made this
the og video that sparked the joke was a video of my sister making link spin in the cart on the way to the temple of time in sksw but tumblr is being stupid and not letting me post it
One time years ago I was in the elevator of my work building and this guy got on. He was breathing hard and looked a little crazed, and he went and stood behind me and took out his cell phone, and when some dude does that and youâre a not very burly femme-presenting person alone in an elevator you tend to go on alert, so I was paying a LOT of attention when he said, âHi, itâs me. The doctor says it isnât cancer. He says itâs another spleen.â Then the elevator reached the ground floor and the doors opened and he ran out like he was on fire.
Please go on this journey with me. The doctor said it wasnât cancer. It was another spleen.
So the guy leaves the elevator and Iâm just, you know, my day just didnât recover. And I kept thinking about it and thinking about it. And on my last day at that job, I was in the elevator riding down at the end of my workday with my little box of office supplies, and HE GETS ON THE ELEVATOR AGAIN WITH ME. He looks much less crazed. We were again alone. I may have dreamed the whole thing.
Because, look. I worked in a skyscraper in downtown San Francisco. There were hundreds of people in my building, spread across twenty floors. The odds of me seeing him again after that first time were nuts. And I hadnât stopped playing that conversation over in my mind. So I thought, fuck it.
Me: âHi, uh, so listen. A couple months ago you were on this elevator? And you made a phone call?â
Him, slightly wary: âOkay?â
Me: âSo I didnât mean to listen in but you know, this is close quarters.â
Him, flat: âUh-huh.â
Me: âSo I heard you telling someone that the doctor said it wasnât cancer, it was another spleen. And like, itâs none of my business, but todayâs my last day in this building and I will never have another chance, so I have to ask. WHO in your life has a second spleen?â
The guy looked at me for a second, and then he burst out laughing, and he said, âOh, yeah, that was my dog.â
This is the second weirdest thing that has ever happened to me and I think about it every damn day.
@pangur-and-grim for your animal with extra organs file
People who are like me and donât know what the new words like glup shittos, here you go:
Glup shittos: a fake name used online to refer to returning characters from the Star Wars extended universe in newer mainstream Star Wars media, which are known and praised by hardcore fans but unknown to the more general audience.
Blorbo: (from my show) is a slang term for a person's favorite fictional character and is used similarly to terms such as Glup Shitto and Scrimblo Bimblo. Though initially intended as a mocking way to describe Tumblr fandoms, it began seeing more use among fandoms as it became popularized in early 2022.
Scrimblo Bimblo: fictional video game character used in a viral tweet to exaggeratedly describe how angry some Super Smash Bros. Ultimate players get when their favorite characters from nostalgic games aren't added to the game, particularly when JRPG characters are added in favor of them. The name is also used broadly to refer to frequently requested Smash characters, and as a sort of insult towards people who demand them.
Scrunkly: (Awww The Scrunkly, continued đ„°đ„șđ„șđ„șđ„șđ„șđ„șđ„șđ„șđ„șđ„șđ„ș Double Tap Now if You'd Scrunkly the Whenđ) is a nonsense phrase and copypasta featured in a series of image macros, often attached to random images and images of animals that have an indefinable "scrunkly" quality to them. The first example of the meme features a low-res image of a fox and was posted to Instagram in May 2021.
Eeby Deeby refers to an impersonation of robot speak and has since been used in a series of edited comics whose speech bubbles have been edited to have one character say "Your dick cold" and the other say "Eeby Deeby." Often, the two characters will be situated such that it can look like they're having sex. The trend started with an edit of a still from a Buck Rogers comic strip of the robot character Twiki before it was adapted to fit multiple images online.
Eeby Deeby elevator meme on Feb. 1, from Tumblr user @theweirdwideweb, uploaded an image of an elevator with the caption, "Where the f*ck is this thing taking me?" The elevator floor on the screen isn't a number; instead it reads, âeeby deeby,â original the elevator had a UwU face
Horse Plinko refers to a viral animated GIF of a horse falling through a Plinko board as it bounces off pegs. Originating from a demonstration video for a computer science paper,
Throckmorton, also known as John Thomas sign, refers to when the penis points in the direction of unilateral disease, typically of the pelvis or hip. Throckmorton sign is a slang term used humorously by medical students
Cousin Throckmorton, aka Throcky, refers to a fictional character who appeared in a physics textbook word problem. In the problem, "Cousin Throckmorton" is a skateboarder, and the student is tasked with discovering the speed at which he descends a ramp and the force acting on him at the bottom of his descent. Once a Twitter user posted a screenshot of the question, it spread on social media, with people making jokes about Cousin Throckmorton, the skateboarder.
If there any I miss let me know :) also I got all this info from know your meme
YOU KNOW WHAT BOTHERS ME
when fantasy books describe the cloth of Quant Farmpeopleâs clothing as âhomespunâ or ârough homespunâ
âhomespunâ as opposed to what??? EVERYTHING WAS SPUN AT HOME
they didnât have fucking spinning factories, your pseudo-medieval farmwife is lucky if she has a fucking spinning wheel, otherwise sheâs spinning every single thread her family wears on a drop spindle NO ONE ELSE WAS DOING THE SPINNING unless you go out of your way to establish a certain baseline of industrialization in your fake medieval fantasy land.
and âroughâ??? lol just because itâs farm clothes? bitch cloth was valuable as fuck because of the labor involved ainât no self-respecting woman gonna waste fiber and ALL THAT FUCKING TIME spinning shitty yarn to weave into shitty cloth sheâs gonna make GOOD QUALITY SHIT for her family, and considering that women were doing fiber prep/spinning/weaving for like 80% of their waking time up until very recently in world history, literally every woman has the skills necessary to produce some TERRIFYINGLY GOOD QUALITY THREADS
come to think of it iâve never read a fantasy novel that talks about textile production at all??? like itâs even worse than the âwhere are all the farmsâ problem like where are people getting the cloth if no oneâs doing the spinning and weaving??? kmart???
THANK U
pro tip: what do you say instead? I gotcha.
 In Ye Olde Medieval Fantasy Dayes, everybodyâs layer against skin (shirt tunic or shift) is gonna be linen. itâs almost never wool except stockings or hose (like pant legs). Say âundyed clothâ if you wanna make them sound simple and peasanty. Comment on how you can tell it wasnât made for them (the fit is off) and has had probably eight owners before.Â
Outer clothing is gonna be either wool, or a blend called Linsey-woolsey, and again you could say Undyed, but dyes are not only common they are CHEAP and relatively easy. (innerwear is often left undyed or bleached to white because it gets washed to heck- like beaten by a wooden stick on a stone by the river- and dye would just fade out a lot so why bother. Ths is also why innerwear has ties, rarely buttons, unless you are so rich you have people doing your washing delicately because theyâre hired to do only that. Buttons would get broken in the washing)
A poorer person is often seen in ârussetâ, a kind of rusty orange-brown color. Purple was famously reserved for royalty in many times and places, but its  also just hard to do. We see a lot more magentas and fuschias for nobles or common middle class folks than we ever see of Purple- and not many of those. Deep blue was more likely on very rich people, but a light blue was common for even poorer folks. Yellow was popular with everyone, and so was green, and many shades of reds, including the color we now call orange (they did not- this is why redheads are called redheads and not orangeheads). Your vision of everyone in very drab brown and mud colors is from Hollywood- most medieval-ren folks have clothing with colors. Sometimes garish colors, to the modern eye. Traffic cone Orange and acid green was a popular combo in the 13th century.
Example medieval dye colors. Lots of yellows and orangey-browns. Woad gave a range of blues that are basically what we think of as âdenim colors.â There were purples - royal purple was a specific color from a specific source - but if you mix wine-dye and woad-dye, you get purpleish dye. (Getting the color to stay that way may be more difficult. Everything worn by peasants fades; they couldnât afford the really good fixatives.)
More examples and explanations here:Â
Plum, dusty purple, lavender, burgundy, chestnut, blood red
Walnut, chocolate, tan, linen, pale apricot, spice, dark spice
Peasant clothes were often more colorful than the nobility. Nobles could afford bright, clear colors that peasants couldnât - but one mark of wealth was being able to buy all 4-8 yards of fabric for an outfit at the same time. So nobles would have a full outfit, including hat, stockings, even shoes, of one type of fabric (with ornamentation of a contrasting type, and as many buttons or bits of silver as they could get away with wearing), while peasants would often have a shirt, bodice or jerkin, skirt or pants, stockings, and hat of all different colors.
Dying or re-dying any one piece of clothing was within most of their cost limits - dye itself is cheap; fixatives cost. But boiling your shirt for an hour with onion skins in a copper pot would re-color the fading fabric.
And yet more medieval dye colour samples:
While centered on medieval Europe for the finer points, this is broadly true for any clothing needs
if anyone is interested in way too much information about the spinning, weaving, dyeing, and trading of cloth in ye olden days, pls see these lecture notes by my old economic history prof, who knew more about the textile industry in pre-modern europe than any reasonable person should. theyâre old at this point but still pretty reliable.
This is a bit of a hot-button issue for me⊠so reblogging with pleasure.
The tl:dr; version of my usual complaint: I love Terry Jonesâs work, but he (and MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL) have a lot to answer for in the âMedieval Life Was Irredeemably Mucky / Everything Was Drabâ department. In the wake of that film, practically all the everyday color of Non-Royal medieval life got washed out of public perception. And it makes me cranky.
Period records make it plain that even among the Poor Folk, color was rife. Many people far more specialized and knowledgeable in this field than I am have gone on about this at length. Iâm just signal boosting here.
Iâm putting this here because⊠Yes!
so the difference between Uk ghosts and US ghosts is that UK ghosts can orgasm and US ghosts cantÂ
