Hey all, I'm Jay and I've been active on Tumblr since 2011.

I joined during the height of the folk metal scene and ran a dedicated metal music blog until the subculture fizzled out in 2016 or so. Although we still go hard in the pit for Wintersun, this space has since evolved to cover more of my broad interests including art, wildlife conservation, and my favorite video game franchise of all time, Jak and Daxter.

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!!!

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!

This reminds me of some articles that were written about how Tumblr discourse and talking points end up getting adopted by the wider Internet and general culture.

Here's one about Tumblr trans discourse. And another. And another.

Here's another about Tumblr political discourse. And another.

Here's a massive book about Tumblr communities. Many of the chapters will also include irl spillover from their digital counterparts.

Here's an article on how Tiktok discourse is just repeats of Tumblr discourse.

That already existed on tumblr before that, look at this post for example. Liminal spaces were a big deal in... let's say parts of pagan tumblr around that time.

Very fascinating to me how many people are very much not a fan of caves. I fucking love caves. I'm very much a Holy Shit a Cave! Let's Go Inside type of person. I never even considered other people were not like this until the last couple years when i started seeing No We Don't Need to Go In The Cave posts. Y'all really don't want to go to the cave? But like it's a cave. There's so much cool stuff in the cave. If i don't go to a cave at least once every 3 years I feel a deep internal agony. Let's go to the cave!

the thing about fruit flies is that in the abstract, they live peaceful and irreproachable lives nibbling on overripe fruit and its attending microbes, but practically speaking they awaken some sort of primordial rage within me. Get off my bananas you little fucks

ok so this is another long shot but a few years ago there was a twitter post (in japanese i think?) that had measurememts for how to make this book stand thing out of cardboard that you could use to double up books and use up more space on shelves

back then i made a bunch of these but by now i lost the pic and dont know how to find the original post anymore

if it comes down to it i can just take one apart and get the measurements from there but i would be very grateful if anyone happens to have the original post or something similar??

[megacarapa]

don't mind how long it's been since i made this post, anyway i realized that i don't even need to take one apart to get the measurements when i can literally just unfold it and refold it /FACEPALM

so anyway here is the diagram for anyone else who is interested!!

this requires pretty big carboard pieces, if you have a really big box or something you can make it from one piece, but if you don't, you can also just make each of the pieces individually and then tape them together

and then in the end you put it together like this!!

and then when you make a bunch you can put them all next to each other and stack your books like crazy

EVERYONE START GETTING MORE USE OUT OF YOUR SPACE NOW!!!!

You should be starting a recipe book. I don't give a shit if you're only 20-years-old. The modern web is rotting away bit by bit before our very eyes. You have no idea when that indie mom blog is going down or when Pinterest will remove that recipe. Copy it down in a notebook, physically or digitally. Save it somewhere only you can remove it. Trust me, looking for a recipe only to find out it's been wiped off the internet is so fucking sad. I've learned my lesson one too many times.
