“I live in a hollow home, Where the windows are broken, there curtains long torn away. The bedroom walls are scratched and peeling, The bathrooms and kitchen are flooded, The attic is caved in, and the basement is charred from previous fires and haunted by lost souls.”

—

May your homes: Past, present and future, be filled with warmth and happiness.

I wait and while I do, I paint you faithfully in the canvas of my soul, with all the colors and hues that you made me recognize as yours. Faith in your love makes my heart hum, my lips smile as I surrender to every shade.

Israel had shut off water and electricity from Gaza 110 days ago. One hundred and ten days ago. Most of us would literally not survive this long without clean water and electricity. Look around you right now and tell me how many things in your vicinity depend on electricity. Are you able to imagine a life without uninterrupted access to water? I still remember the old lady who was interviewed in a tent who said "the question you should be asking me is how long ago was the last time I showered".

To know that millions of people have their literal life spans, their movement, their access to water, when they can eat, what and how much they can eat, when and how often they can shower, how and where they sleep - to have it all be controlled and dictated for them while also, simultaneously, the mere idea of providing them with aid is "out of everyone's hands"?

There are fucking miles of aid trucks, filled with essentials, that are stopped right outside of Gaza at the Rafah border, while people inside of Gaza are freezing and starving and dreaming of clean water to drink. How does this not infuriate you?

Fuck Israel and every nation that enables and emboldens it.

I have never seen such an accurate depiction of what it looks like without glasses.

[nezzuko]

For writers with good eyesight, this is a good reference for what it’s like trying to see without our glasses

Hey if you’re schizophrenic/psychotic I just want you to know that you’re a wonderful person and that you deserve so much better than the demonization, marginalization and stigmatization you face in this society.

[sweetschizo-deactivated20190808]

Please consider reblogging this/other positivity posts for schizophrenic/psychotic people every once in a while. If you have more than 100 followers, odds are that a couple of them experiences psychosis and that they rarely see positivity posts for people with their symptoms.

fun fact!! it turns out that now when u make a new blog, tumblr forces you to follow 3-4 people before you can change your icon or modify your blog in any way!! this, of course, means that, yes, some of the "potential bots" many of us have been automatically blocking could have possibly been genuine new users who were only just seconds in to having an account!!! tumblr is literally screwing new users over!!!!

[thedaswolves]

I see this spreading today a lot, rumour that apparently "new users can't add icon, blog description, post or anything without following people first", and that we might have been blocking/reporting new user instead of bots.

THIS IS NOT TRUE!

I don't know why people repost this without testing or checking themselves first. I just signed up for completely new account with new email today (September 15th 2023), and can normally add my icon, banner, description, posts.. or edit blog in any way I want.

This is the new blog I just created and all functions work normally despite my not following anyone @sweetchild5250

I will delete it in few days just wanted the proof. don't believe everything you read without testing folks :) Keep blocking those pesky empty bot accounts :)

[rosecandy-deactivated20260313]

I was curious so I actually tested this myself three times. Whether they make you follow people or not is entirely dependent on the sign up method.

If you sign up using email and create a password directly or use an apple account, it does not require you to follow multiple people before setting up your account. You can just go directly to your dashboard, set up your theme, header, icon, etc. without any interference. Then you can follow people.

However, if you sign up using a gmail account, it requires you to follow at least five tags and at least three people. There's not a skip option. After you've finished following people, then you can edit your theme, header, icon, etc. You cannot change or customize your blog in any way until you follow people unless you close the tab and reopen tumblr altogether.

This is a case where both OP and this addition are true but, as I said, it depends on how users are signing up. I'm not really sure why there's entirely different sign up methods like this.

“If you know someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather. It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed but it is one of the kindest noblest and best things you will ever do.”

your silence spoke louder than your words ever could

[lov3ly-pain]

Your silence led to my despair.

My despair led to your futher withdrawal.

In the end we broke one another

But I don't think it's unfair to say that you started it.

And I think I unintentionally ended it.
