This place
Tried to make my Instagram profile the place where I documented my art journey and kept pictures of handmade postcards I then sent out. But constantly felt like I was trying to sell something. So I came back to tumblr
For all its faults Tumblr has truly ruined all other social media for me because my friends all have Instagram and are all trying to get me on Instagram more but every time I open Instagram there are like fifteen things screaming for my attention and when I get over myself long enough to start scrolling it's like. Where is my chronological dash. Where is the following-only option. Who are these people. Why are there so many videos. Everyone is screaming at me. And then before I know it I'm thirty minutes into scrolling and I haven't seen a single thing that I actually care about. At least on Tumblr when I see stuff I don't care about I know someone I follow has found a new interest.
Today, I remembered this one artist I followed on instagram a while back, so I decided to check if they had posted anything new. So, I went to instagram for the first time in weeks. And I had planned to just scroll through the things accounts I follow had posted and look at art.
And basically every single post was "suggested for you". They weren't necessarily bad posts, but it was not what I come for and I had no option to just look at accounts I follow.
In the end, I went to the specific artist's account, saw that there was nothing new, and left the website. I would have probably stayed longer and enjoyed myself if they had given me the option to not have to scroll through five to ten posts (yeah, mostly videos) for every post of a friend or artist I'm following.
Stick-on googly eyes might be of help
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now i’m thinking….maybe this is the good luck post
…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment
likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post
i need all the help i can get for finals
Hey so
the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like.Â
So you know.Â
This might be the real one, y’all.
I could use some luck
actually fucking disgusting that glasses cost any money like if you actually think about it for more than a few seconds it is so unconscionably inhumane. this goes for things like insulin and mobility aids and hearing aids too ofc but fuck man, fucking glasses? the thing you need to fucking see? its genuinely sickening and inhumanly evil that those cost ANYTHING.
And the worse your eyesight is, the more you have to pay for glasses.
I get why that is the case. Making and fitting lenses for someone with -0.75 dioptre is obviously cheaper than making and fitting lenses into a frame for my -5 dioptre on one eye and -3.75 on the other ass.
But someone with -0.75 can still manage their life without glasses. It would still suck sometimes and I'm not saying they should have to, but I've been there and it's possible. Whereas I CANNOT FIND MY GLASSES if I take them off and don't put them in the usual spot. I could not manage my life without glasses or contact lenses.
So ppl who really, really need the thing pay way more than ppl who only need it to improve their life a little or who only need it sometimes. And that just adds insult to injury imo
i’m really sorry for being team Thinking A Tumblr Shitpost Turn Of Phrase “Goes Hard” Is Usually Because You Don’t Read Books For Adults
and i’m saying this as a tumblr text post staple myself who has been told this about my own work. and im always like, no it doesn’t. this shit does not go hard. i put a string of pretentious and loaded words together because it was funny
my friend you caught me in a good mood (and happened to mention one of these posts that’s by a friend of mine and i feel warmly towards it despite what i just said) so i want to drop a short list of books you might like if you feel like You Can’t Kill Me In A Way That Matters/You Fungal Piece Of Shit can’t be replicated in “serious” literature!

May I humbly suggest
Beowulf - A New Translation by Maria Dahvana Headley
It starts with
"Bro! Tell me we still know how to speak of kings!"
and contains such banger lines like
"We all know a boy can’t daddy until his daddy’s dead."
and
"scrawling red RSVPs in the sky ... her scaly helm shining as she sang insults from the clouds."
It is also just a really fun text both as an interpretation of an old text from oral tradition and as a book in its own right.
Here is two full paragraphs about the dragon, so you get a feeling for the text, since some short shitpost lines don't do it justice:
"The dragon swooped low and spat flame, destroying both manor and hovel, scrawling red RSVPs in the sky. The winged wringer had no time for survivors. She skywrote her grievances, then rewrote them roughly in land-fire from end to end of Geat-realm, her scaly helm shining as she sang insults from the clouds. Back to her ridge she whipped as the sun showed itself, slithering into her gold-stock, locking herself away.
She’d exhaled upon their ground, and now they burned, black blood, bah! She slept, trusting in human frailty to keep her lair unmolested. That trust would turn to dust, like everything."
Hands down my favorite version of this speech 
I think that eventually I lost interest in writing post apocalypse stories when I realized that we’re living in the aftermath of hundreds if not thousands of apocalypses both small and large.
What do people act like in the apocalypse? Well, they act like people. The post-apocalypse is an ongoing reality.
The great dying in the Americas after old world diseases were introduced, the Black Death, the Bronze Age collapse.
Heck, around 74,000 years ago a volcanic eruption reduced the human population to less than 10,000 individuals. Possibly as few as 3,000.
Every single one of us is descended from the survivors of an apocalyptic event.
And if you think that doesn’t count because it was 74,000 years ago my question is, why? Why does that not count? Why is that devastation so much less devastating than any apocalypse you’ve seen in media?
This right now in this moment we are living through is the ultimate ongoing fate of any post apocalypse. Life. With all of its messiness.
Something similar happened to me regarding stories about the lone herion/hero and revolutions as a solution to a corrupt government.
Sure, a movement can profit from a charismatic leader, but one person alone cannot change the system. It takes many ppl and infrastructure to do so.
I want to show the person that was so up in their own arse they thought they could swoop in and save the day, just to realise that they just made everyone else's job harder. Everyone was working together, slowly taking over important positions, willing to hold out a little longer and to commit some atrocities they would later have to pay for. But they would be ready to take down the big bosses at the top in a few months from now without a greater evil simply replacing them. And in comes our heroin/hero killing the bad guy half a year early just for them to be replaced by their second in command who was actually the bad guy all along.
And sure, sometimes a system is so corrupt it simply needs to be replaced completely. But even if that is possible, the switch to a new system takes a lot of time and effort from a ton of ppl. If a story shows a militia marching in and taking over, it must also show either the new government laying the grounds for the new system before the takeover or the chaos that ensues when the established systems break down and there's nothing there to replace them with. Not to mention how hard it genuinely is to build a system that gets help to the ppl in need, isn't discriminating anyone, and uses the available resources efficiently without exceeding the boundaries of the financial resources.

Welcome to being an adult! Featuring such injury causing events as
- sneezed wrong
- turned your neck a little too fast
- slept weird
- took the trash out to the curb and stepped at a slightly different angle than usual
- breathed
- failed to breathe properly
- breathed in the wrong stuff. Allergy time
- looked too hard at something too far away
- knees
Why does my arm and shoulder hurt
Pulled a random muscle and can’t figure out how
I'm in my mid-thirties, and over the last few years friends and flatmates of mine have
- accumulated all kinds of injuries while doing sports
- broken their shoulder when trying to prove they could still do a forward roll
- dislocated their shoulder while sleeping on someone's couch (no idea how, just woke up screaming in the dark)
- stubbed their toe so hard, they were limping for a week
- broken their collar bone when slipping on a wet spot (okay, that one could probably happen at any age)
- and friends of mine who've regularly gone on hikes for years tell me, hiking is still just fine, but one night sleeping in a tent and they are done for
As an artist alley creator who has some fun sticker sheets like Ao3 and wattpad, I wanted to add a tumblr sticker sheet to the lineup.
So, as someone who only sporadically interacted with tumblr before 2018, tumblr veterans please share what references you think I should make for the sticker sheets.
You can send me an ask or just comment, I’m open to all ideas!
I won't claim to be an expert on tumblr culture, but if you did a tumblr best of, I would definitely expect the Ides of March/Caesar salad, the "It's gonna be may" thing with ramen, the destiel meme we use to share news, "I like your shoelaces", and I would say haiku bot is an essential as well.
There's probably a ton more that I'm not thinking about right now. Maybe check out @hellsite-hall-of-fame and @worldheritagepostorganization ?
Currently super obsessed with getting back into drawing. Finished some more, but those are my favourites
The octopus is basically a copy of a tattoo design by Penny von FrĂĽt (pennyvonfrut on instagram)
The jellyfish are drawn from photo references when I was playing around with the style. I especially like the darker design.
The university institute I work for has its own website and I'm the one keeping it up to date (badly, but someone has to do it and I'm one of the few people here to stay and not just until I get a PhD). And this update just came in:
I have no idea what slugs are in the context of websites, so now I imagine that every page has its own nudibranch and some of them were just outfitted with new scientific names since I renamed one of the genus.
sometimes when I get mad online I have remind myself that the coolest and most reasonable friend I have doesn’t know who dril is and asked me to explain what the acronym “MCU” stands for, because she spends most of her free time watching documentaries about industrial disasters with her girlfriend and going to quarries to collect rocks together. a better world is possible and it’s out there right now
I switched from videos with ppl getting making fun of movies I didn't even watch or getting mad at celebrities I had barely heard about to videos from non-profits that preserve nature, or by ppl who build a better ecosystem for their garden or pets. And it got me motivated to sign up at a non-profit. And now I regularly get to talk with ppl about the cool bugs they saw, and I'm about to start nursing bats back to health.
It really can get better.
DUDE i just realized that they call it porridge because it's goopy amd when you serve it you have to pour itge
That's forage. Porridge is the quality of being brave
youre thinking of courage, porridge is the nanny from that Disney movie who sings songs
You're thinking of Mary Poppins, Porridge is another Brit, that author guy who wrote Poems on Various Subjects and On the Constitution of the Church and State
I'm in my mid 30s and about three years ago I started having plants on my balcony. It started with two planters which turn into 13 up to this point. (I was thinking about getting another four just today)
This led to me spending more time on my balcony. Which led to noticing the bird calls.
There's a bird in my neighbourhood that almost perfectly imitates a ring tone of what I think of as Nokia ring. I'm just glad it was never my ring tone because it's weird enough hearing it and my brain needing a split second to identify it as "bird calling" not "phone ringing".
I really wish to see that bird one day just to know what kind it is.

That hairstyle really throws me back to the early 2000s. A friend of mine had similar highlights, only all blond and her hair was longer.
