A Bear Without Care. @octoberbear - Tumblr Blog

you've met me at a very "yeah i'm trying to work on that" time in my life

i love this image because not only is it accurate but also every time i see it i subconsciously scan the image to make sure its not somewhere i know. because everywhere in england looks like this. could be literally anywhere.

[ID: Digital illustration of a deep blue black bear floating in space over a similarly colored blue rectangle on an off-white background. The bear has an unnatural pose and proportions. It has a hunched posture, its head on the left and its rear end on the right. its paws are gathered underneath it. In the bottom right hand corner is a watermark reading: “LEAVES AND INKS” /end ID]

image ID: 2023 tweet from tamara k. nopper which reads: audre lorde said, "every day of your lives is practice in becoming the person you want to be. no angel is suddenly going to descend upon you, make you brave and courageous and true. and every day that you sit back silent, remember, terrible things are being done in our name. end ID.

after some cursory searching, it looks like this quote comes from lorde's 1989 commencement speech at oberlin college, which can be read in full here. the actual quote is slightly different from the tweet; she said, "every day of your lives is practice in becoming the person you want to be. no instantaneous miracle is suddenly going to occur and make you brave and courageous and true. and every day that you sit back silent, refusing to use your power, terrible things are being done in our name."

i saw some comments on tiktok where people were talking bout how they found tumblr too hard to use and part of it being that there was no lack of dates so “what if you reblog or like something from five years ago?!”

buddy… we have posts circulating still from 2011, its literally just how it is

This is how the entire internet was supposed to be. Before social media we made webpages and a webpage was supposed to be timeless, a permanent “shrine” to something we liked, intended to keep getting visitors and comments for as long as it stayed up. When “blogging” became a concept every blog post was supposed to be the same sort of long term fixture.

The idea that posts have some sort of freshness date comes solely from the poisonous garbage world of the engagement farming business.

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”
