28. Canadian. Aquarius. Guess who’s trying to get back on tumblr? May seem chaotic, slowly adding current interests

as an archivist I am begging you

put dates on everything

don’t believe digital stuff is preserved forever - if it’s really important (documents, photos, etc) print it out

name your files accurately I know it sucks but please

don’t destroy the original just bc you scanned it

rubber cement is the devil’s adhesive use photo corners and quit gluing shit

you will NOT remember write it down

if you staple things to the inside of a folder I will find you

your public library probably has equipment to digitize old media for free or can at least get you connected with somewhere that does!

So I’m feeling better, am generally making weekend plans, and guess who’s getting sushi for dinner? Yep it’s me. It’s also my boyfriend. And likely a large unknown amount of people in the world.

Can you tell I’m excited?

the thing is depression was never destigmatized the narrative just switched from “no one has depression you’re just using it as an excuse” to “everyone has depression you’re just using it as an excuse”

If you live somewhere where it gets darker now, here’s a few reminders:

- You can put up fairy lights at any time and leave them up for as long as you want

- Get out if you can, while there is still light outside

- Make it as cosy for yourself as you can. Dial up the comfort and the cosy, whatever that looks like to you

- Make plans to look forward to

- More people than we sometimes realize are affected, be cosy with your friends in person, call them or have a facetime hang out with tea or a movie. Maybe go for a short walk together or meet up for coffee, so you get out a bit too.

- You have made it through the darkness before, you can do it again. If you think back and remember something that helped you the last time, draw on that again

thanks for making time for an interview for this managerial role overseeing the microsoft 365 team. what really stood out to us about you - and what rocketed you to the top of our list - was that part in your cover letter where you described yourself as a “sick fuck” who “would stop at nothing to see the microsoft 365 suite of products reduced to a functionless, pale imitation of their 2007-era predecessors” and that the user should “toil fruitlessly as they navigate a completely bewildering interface while being forced to ruminate on how they own nothing and instead rent increasingly expensive useless vapor.” when would you be available to start?

children are annoying but you have to forgive them. like they just got here

having friends is important because otherwise you’ll stay convinced your parents are normal

some people’s new years resolution needs to be to stop going out in public while horribly sick with infectious diseases

[quixoticanarchy]

[datadegroove-deactivated2026042]

"if being hard on yourself was going to work it would have worked by now" okay well being soft on myself isn't working either so what the fuck is left. medium? I gotta be medium with myself? I gotta ask the fucking ghosts for help? is that it?

you do not have permission to stop caring about vampires just because october is over btw. vampires are a year round event

[draconym]

I think it sucks that you have to go to so many different kinds of doctor to take care of yourself. It's the 21st century. I should be able to go to a single office where they scan me with a big xerox machine and tell me what I'm allergic to and why my tummy hurts and if I have any cancer or cavities or if my glasses prescription has changed. And then I should get a sticker.

Nothing like going to bed. Yay I get blanket time!

[exuberantocean]

Nothing sadder than wake up time. What do you mean I need to leave the kingdom of warms?

you know how "the brain doesn't finish developing until 25" was a misinterpretation of a study where subject age capped out at 25? and you know how the ongoing Chernobyl meltdown was handwaved away because the radiation readings didn't seem that high, when they were actually reaching the max level their cheap dosimeters could read and the real amount was thousands of times higher? anyway i'm wondering what other instances of that we're just living with without realizing

[beastliness]

I don't know whether any of you guys have looked outside lately but it's leaves as hell out there
