This is what hozier meant when he says he falls a little bit in love everyday with someone new

I once watched a girl in the produce aisle pick up a bushel of bananas that were precariously perched on the edge and move them farther back and under her breath she said “there you go sweeties - that will be more comfortable” before shuffling off and… I think about her often.

« Silent lovers » is such a sweet way to put it.

I was driving on the highway and passed a dude absolutely JAMMING alone in his car, doing those little half dance moves you do when you’re stuck sitting down in a small space, bellowing unheard lyrics at the top of his lungs, and my instant reaction was to think “I love you.” And then to pray he had a good day, or whatever, because those fleeting moments of connection are so incredible.

Scooby Doo idea: Daphne Blake as the weird rich kid whose parents signed her up for a shit-ton of rich-kid extracurriculars like polo, fencing, and all of this other shit so they wouldn’t have to deal with her/bolster her college resume. She puts a lot of effort into actually being good at all these extra-curriculars bc she’s competing with all of her ~super successful and talented~ sisters for attention and ends up athletic as hell and socially stunted and like…really aggressive and competitive and never quite satisfied with anything she’s doing. The only other ‘High Society’ kid who can put up with her is Norville “Shaggy” Rogers —an anxious stoner with freaky strict parents whose only friend prior to Daphne was his equally anxious rescue dog—Daphne’s been beating up Shaggy’s bullies for years. Then there’s student council dweeb Fred Jones who’s always been groomed to be this ‘leader’ by his parents and is always pressured to go to these youth leadership things and stuff and yeah he’s pretty good at directing group projects, but really Fred’s kind of shy and more interested in engineering, forensics and maybe criminal justice and he’s been friends with this chick Velma Dinkley in engineering club who’s brilliant but she’s also tactless, awkward and very bitterly sarcastic to cover up for the fact that her book smarts far outweigh her social skills.

 So then there’s this mystery downtown and all five of them show up and there’s a mutual, “Oh hey it’s you: The weird kid from my school. What are you doing here?” and everyone goes around. Fred’s like, “Oh I knew the owners of this place and they said they might have to close down because of this ghost and I told Velma about it and Velma thinks we can get to the bottom of this.” And Shaggy’s like, “Scoob and I didn’t want to be home right now and we honestly didn’t know about the ghost but hey Daphne’s here so we feel safe enough to hang out and maybe Scoob can sniff out some clues or something.” And then everyone turns and looks at Daphne and Daphne’s just like, “I want to fight a fucking ghost.”

you've heard of "quiet quitting," now I'd like to introduce you to the next level, The French Work Ethic:

Do exactly what you're paid for and nothing more

Absolutely refuse to be available to contact when you're off the clock

Never prioritize work over your own health, wellbeing, or family because that would be insane, it's just a job.

Have a little glass of wine

Take as long as you feel like for lunch

Deeply understand that work doesn't matter

Make sure your boss your boss knows they're always your second priority ❤️

🗣️ Hey, young Americans:

Old Millennial American speaking here. I need you to adopt this mentality as early as possible and hold to it. The older you get, the harder it is to begin this practice and claw back the extremely unhealthy effects of a workaholic lifestyle. I am speaking from 20 years of experience.

This does not mean having a shitty attitude at work, or not doing your job, or relying on co-workers to carry your water.

This means you do what it says above. It also means not making work and productively your entire personality; not tying your productivity to your value; and not becoming so emotionally enmeshed in your work and workplace so that you are living and dying by what happens there.

Good luck out there. American workplace culture is mostly designed to work you to death. Moving against that tide can be challenging, so having a healthy mindset is important to living a life not consumed by your paid labor.

Fighting like a knight 'extremely freeing' as all-female teams grow

An increasing number of women are pulling on up to 40 kilograms of steel armour to take part in historic medieval combat.

So, amongst the many other weird excuses for bikini armor, and nonsense explanations why buffoons don't believe women could have been warriors (despite the abundant historical evidence they have always fought), has always been this idea they wouldn't be able to or want to put on 40 kilograms of gear and throw down.

Seems it not only happens but its becoming an increasingly popular way for women to unwind in Australia.

there is this thing I see trans men talk about frequently where they describe being hyper-vigilant about making sure every woman in their presence feels comfortable at all times because they now “look like their abusers”, sometimes at the expense of their own safety and it makes me sad and a little mad to see otherwise compassionate trans men who are really struggling because they’ve internalized the idea that this mental load is a price they have to pay for transitioning

I think you can have grace and compassion for women and what it’s like to be a woman in a patriarchal society without getting defensive or taking it upon yourself to bear responsibility for every woman’s trauma with men and signaling to everyone you meet that it’s okay to treat you, a transgender person, as a potential threat to women and girls (big frustrated sigh) you may or may not be interacting with or just existing near

“average day on Tumblr includes 60 stabbings” factoid is actualy just a statistical error.  average day on tumblr includes 0 stabbings.  The Ides of March, which comes every March 15th and includes 23,000 stabbings of one guy is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Hello everyone!

Last year I started designing a series of Coat of Arms, themed in the spirit of Pride Month and using different mythological creatures as heraldic animals. I now aim to turn these designs into wearable pins and will be running a Kickstarter in July to fund this endeavor! I have found a very trustworthy local manufacturer, who has already shown the quality of their craftsmanship with the first batch of test pins I received, just look at the detail they were able to produce!

Since I try to support local manufacturers, which produce pins with fair wages and are more ethical than outside of Europe, the pins are more expensive to create than through the usual pipeline via Asia.

I therefore seek to crowdfund the expenses since they would be more than I can afford. If you are interested and look forward to support this little endeavor, please follow the link below to sign up for a mailing list. People who signed up on the email list and pledged during the campaign will receive an exclusive sticker set by the end of a successful launch consisting of the following designs:

Now everyone's following Solas like he's the only one who can save them. He'll save them from the blight or die trying. He's not lying about that. Still fighting, last we heard. If it weren't for Solas, they'd already be dead.

This is how charismatic Solas is: while he leaves Rook behind in regret prison, Solas is out there rallying people to his side and they follow. I wonder if it pissed the companions off to see this happen. While they're trying everything to find Rook, Solas is just out there getting the people on his side.

Once again he steps back into roles he knows well - rebellion leader, companion to the Inquisitor - where he's rallying people, organizing resistance, and throwing himself directly into the fight. He's fighting with them, defending them - because Fen’Harel was a protector first (Trespasser) and I think that instinct is always in him because he does care.

And yes, he's using the situation and the people fighting with him to reach his own goal, it's what he does, but the dialogue says that without Solas, many of them would already be dead and Solas does truly fear the blight. “He’ll save them from the blight or die trying. He’s not lying about that.”

He'll die trying. God I love the paradox that is Solas.

I would have loved to see those first moments after Solas rolls up and starts fighting alongside everyone else. The people seeing this powerful being step up and fight with them. Here he is the war general - calling out orders, strategizing, putting together attack and defense plans, fortifying areas that need it.

I just get delighted with this part of the story, because clearly it didn't take long for people to start following him. And this was just in a couple weeks, one can imagine the scale of followers he inspired over centuries.

Hundreds of migrants are vanishing in the Mediterranean. Authorities are withholding information

The beginning of 2026 ranks as the deadliest start to any year for people trying to cross the Mediterranean. But the true count may be even

[iteration-dave]

"Human rights groups are increasingly struggling to verify tolls as Italy, Tunisia and Malta have quietly restricted information on migrant rescues and shipwrecks along the deadliest migration route in the world. The news barely makes headlines, in part because the lack of transparency prevents journalists from confirming reports.

“It’s a strategy of silence,” said Matteo Villa, a researcher focusing on migration and data at the Italian Institute for International Political Studies think tank."

[theinklingofcats]

The Associated Press repeatedly asked authorities in Tunisia, Italy and Malta why they aren’t sharing information related to migrant rescues at sea and what their policies are. Not one responded.

Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your

they do

[smugpuffin]

Social media is not private, emails are not private, internet searches are not private, your text messages are not private.

"I use a VPN!" Your ISP can see when you initially connect to a VPN. The VPN company will comply with a subpoena.

"My socials don't have my real name!" What about the email to register that social? What about your wifi provider? They provide the IP address from which you're frequently logging in. Don't they have your information?

Your cell carrier will comply with a subpoena.

You ISP will comply with a subpoena.

So will Google, Apple, Yahoo, Meta, Tumblr, Twitter, you name it. None of them will fight the government on behalf of a random person they don't care about.

This is why fighting for online privacy laws, real actual privacy laws, is so important. It's why using services with end-to-end encryption is so important. It's why if you don't want any chance of law enforcement to know about something, you cannot post about it online in any way.

The messages we recieved growing up about being very careful about what you post online wasn't fear mongering. They just picked a different villain.
