fun fact: “tired” is not supposed to be your default state of existence

[gasterofficial]

immediately concerned by how many people were like “wait really??” in the tags. may i suggest you guys read up on chronic fatigue iron and magnesium deficiencies (among others) and executive dysfunction as starter material

i don't like to yuck people's yum but i have to say that my least favorite thing to come from the current state of Artists on the Internet is the idea of a sketchbook as something nice and pretty and shareable. like i love me a notebook full of gorgeous art don't get me wrong but that is NOT what a sketchbook is. a sketchbook is my friend who i carry around everywhere like a purse chihuahua. it is the physical manifestation of my notes app. it is the container into which i wring my brain out. it is my therapist. and most of all it is filled with absolutely terrible sketches that should never see the light of day.

[moldspace]

this post is making the rounds again and the amount of people saying that the pretty sketchbooks phenomenon ruined sketchbooks for them is HEARTBREAKING and i stand by my opinion that sketchbooks should be like a jar you put your OCs in. and then you shake them around in there. that's what they're for

There is something so funny about calling something without a brain neurodivergent

I really don't understand why ppl think "isthe[x]videocute" blogs are annoying bc like. Even as someone who only casually understands animal welfare, it's still really depressing to me when I see a cute animal video and get emotionally attached to the animal in it only to find out the animal is unsafe/hurt/dead because of what people did to it in the video. I'd rather be informed so I'm not enjoying an animal suffering or giving profits and attention to people who hurt animals. And even in situations where an animal isn't being hurt (like situations where an owner stresses out their animal unknowingly for a video but otherwise have never really hurt them) it's still useful to know about body language and stuff like that so you don't end up hurting or getting hurt by your own animals. We owe welfare bloggers everything actually.

there IS actually a reason why seconds and minutes (and degrees for geometry) are in base 60 instead of base 10, and if you want to blame someone for that, blame the very specific way Babylonians counted with their fingers.

[death-to-usa]

The way Babylonians finger-counted was by using their thumb to tap each phalange of the fingers in the same hand the thumb was in, in the order of proximal to distal phalanges and index finger to pinky finger (for a total of 12 taps), and lifting a finger on the other hand every time they counted up to 12, resulting in each finger in the second hand representing 12 taps, with 5 fingers representing... 60 taps.

[death-to-usa]

thats actually spot on.

[death-to-usa]

yes. a gross is defined as 12 dozens.

it’s interesting how wii channel music became shorthand for millennial existential despair. it was composed to be cheerful and quirky, but as the miis are symbolic of ourselves they inherited our agony

[metalcatholic-deactivated202202]

as someone who didn’t have a wii are you guys okay

[salamencerobot]

No

When a chronically ill or disabled person gets their lab tests back as “normal” or all clear, we aren’t sad because we WANT to be sick.

We’re sad because we *know* there’s something wrong with us, yet the scans still stay clear.

Before you kill the monster you gotta know its name.

[rangerpippin]

THIS. We don't "want to be sick", we *are* sick, and nothing can be done about it until they figure out what it is. If we wanted to be sick, we could just give up and go home with our normal labs.

Are you trapped on tumblr right now?

Is there something you planned to do before you got trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Are you yelling at yourself to get up and do the thing, but you can’t, because you’re trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Consider this your save point.

Put tumblr down, stand up, stretch, and go do the thing you planned to do. Future you will be incredibly grateful.

[amaraqwolf]

Things people in the notes have been able to do thanks to this post:

eat breakfast

go to bed

get out of bed

take a shower

write

practice

watch Superman Returns and write a paper on it

retain shreds of sanity

I need y’all to know that you’re doing amazing, and I’m so glad that I was able to help you break out of a procrastination loop you did not want to be stuck in.

Helpful post I’ve added to my queue in case it helps someone else at the random point when it’s posted.

the body is wild because all that shit just kind of grows there in a semirandom way, so it's not even consistent from person to person, but it doesn't get tangled up too badly because it's all held in place by bodymeat like a vascular aspic. which sounds good but it means it's really hard to replace anything, because you're not supposed to. it's just another example of how planned obsolescence encourages waste

I was reading a book (about interjections, oddly enough) yesterday which included the phrase “In these days of political correctness…” talking about no longer making jokes that denigrated people for their culture or for the colour of their skin. And I thought, “That’s not actually anything to do with ‘political correctness’. That’s just treating other people with respect.”

Which made me oddly happy. I started imagining a world in which we replaced the phrase “politically correct” wherever we could with “treating other people with respect”, and it made me smile. 

You should try it. It’s peculiarly enlightening.

I know what you’re thinking now. You’re thinking “Oh my god, that’s treating other people with respect gone mad!”

Happy Valentine’s Day.

every single person who uses “nonbinary” as a stand-in for “people i consider to be women” needs to do some work on themselves, no matter their gender, sexuality, or any other marginalization

[scarletbirbs]

Don't take this lying down! Fuck Tumblr feeding AI our posts. Opt-out now! Leave them nothing to work with.

On mobile it's under visibility settings. On browser it's under blog settings. I opted out on browser and I had to do it for each side blog individually. I'm assuming it's the same on mobile.
