Because of recent world events, I’ve been taking a deeper look at the generational planets, reading more about the Strauss–Howe Generational Theory. Their ideas about four ‘turning points’ or ‘periods’ line up pretty well with which Pluto’s elemental cycle, which I found interesting, and I highly suggest checking out.

PSA

i’m sick of all the posts saying that new tumblr users — the expats from tiktok, instagram, etc. — have a moral obligation to understand the mating cycles of eels. It might SEEM like The topic is EASY to understand because we’ve all been here since 2012, but these people have just clocked off their shifts at the Spaghetti Factory and are now riding their longboards down the canal and throwing pebbles at the bottom feeders in the water. like, the culture of tiktik is so different than what we’re used to. over here we’re crashing our ATVs through the frozen food aisle and grabbing pot pies from the wreckage as we go. over there…well to be honest i don’t use tiktok but i can imagine that they’re flying over alaska in a helicopter with the incorruptible head of St Catherine of Siena strapped into one of the seats. and she even has those big headphones on.

I came back to tumblr after 8 years and now understand none of the text posts but I'm having fun

vampires have been drinking human blood for centuries they don't give a fuck about guys on eight different antidepressants. they were sucking on asbestos factory workers

[sadpearonmars]

The absolutely hilarity of imagining some older vampires hectoring younger ones. “Back in my day, I had to drink blood with radium in it and I liked it! We glowed in the damn dark for weeks!”

i’ve stopped trash talking comic sans after learning the font is actually one of the only dyslexia-friendly fonts that come standard with most computers and i advocate for others doing the same

[not-safe-for-earth]

In the event that you would like to continue hating Comic Sans, other dyslexia-friendly alternatives include Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Century Gothic and Trebuchet.

[bigbardafree]

thank

[invaderxan]

Random fact: Verdana is one of the few fonts which was specifically designed to be as easy to read as possible, even at smaller type sizes. It was designed this way for use on screen, but the same principles apply in print too. This is part of why some Universities use Verdana as their default font for documents.

[sanctum-sanguinem]

“In the event that you would like to continue hating Comic Sans” is one of the best things I’ve ever read on this website

[writernotwaiting]

@pedeka @lunariagold @darklittlestories

[anastasiaoftheironwood]

I’ll take Comic Sans over Arial any day. 

[writernotwaiting]

Century Gothic and Trebuchet are both quite handsome typefaces.

[iamhisgloriouspurpose]

I’m partial to Century Gothic as well. It’s serif, but not boring.

[catwinchester-deactivated201901]

There’s also a dyslexic font designed especially for dyslexic people to read.

You can install on your tablets, laptops and browers etc, so not only can you change things like documents into it, you can change websites into that font as well! 

[catwinchester-deactivated201901]

I’m sure you’re bright enough to do a google search, but since I’m dumb enough to forget to post a link, here it is. Better late than never

[captainlordauditor]

I default to arial for this reason, but I will now be defaulting to verdana or dyslexie. nice.

[formlessdemi]

I don’t think I have dyslexia but that dyslexie font was the easiest fucking thing to read ever. Books should be written in that shit.

[lunariens]

ALSO!!!

For computer reading, when you mix up lines of text, there’s a web browser app called Beeline Reader. It looks like this

The colors are also customizable, to an extent and while I don’t have dyslexia, I have adhd which makes reading large amounts of text harder and this helps A LOT.

[hashtagyourshirt]

This is dope. I freaking love how much more accessible this information is nowadays.

[welcometotheravenclawcommonroom]

for our dyslexic ravens.

[harpanini]

I always thought I was a decent reader, but holy crap that BeeLine made reading enjoyable lol

[kedreeva]

Beeline reader also has a built-in setting for changing the font to the OpenDyslexic font, so not only will it help with tracking via the gradient color changes, it can alter the font to help without a second app/extension. I use both together and it’s wonderful!

[kathrynhoss]

If you borrow books in the Libby app you can read in Open Dyslexic 🙌 idk if it's as good as Dyslexie tho

[fidelishaereticus]

stop asking yourself whether you’re “good at” an art. instead ask yourself: am i practiced? am i fluent? am i inspired?

“good” is vague and morally loaded. it places the bar of success on a disappearing horizon without helping you clarify what you’re actually judging yourself over. using terms that are more specific (and less loaded) can cut a lot of the of the negative fluff out of your self-talk.

Absolutely vital information to have if you live where the waters freeze over.

I especially appreciate this guy’s commitment to actually showing the steps himself. That cold-shock response is a bitch and willingly subjecting himself to it couldn’t have been fun.

some idiot advisor: I can’t believe his majesty lets his boytoy attend these council meetings, it’s an insult to the noble institutions that uphold our nation, it’s an outrage—

a somewhat smarter advisor: you’re just mad bc he pointed out how dumb your naval attack strategy and no one laughed when you made a mean joke about him
