If the 0th dimension is a dot, then infinite dots make the first dimension, which is a line. Infinite lines make a pane, which is the second dimension. Infinite panes make space, which is the 3rd dimension. Now, infinite spaces would make a tesseract, which would be the 4th dimension.

If we think that infinite spaces are specific moments in time, then that makes the 4th dimension the history and future of our universe.

Going even further, the 5th dimension would be made of infinite tesseracts, which is every possible history of the universe, linking to the fact that infinite realities coexist in multiple different universes. In each universe in the multiverse, infinite realities exist, maybe even have different laws of nature than ours.

It's like a book that's never been written, there is no first or last. The start depends on the reader, so there really is no past and no future. It all exists in whichever order our minds interpret. Which means that historians have been brainwashing us all this time.

But what really is time? It's an abstract concept of the mind, according to physics. It is one dimension of many, once again, in no particular order. Then again, there could be even more universes inside the multiverse. What if black holes just lead to new universes, but it's an irreversible process, that's why you can't return from there? What if our own universe is a black hole in another, we just can't get out because there is no exit? The question isn't why anything exists, but if anything does exist?

As I've mentioned before, our universe may or may not be a black hole. From the diagram, the universe roughly looks like a horn. We can only see the face of the observable universe as the rest is too far for us to see.

As we know, the heavier the object, the lower they sink into gravity. But that's only the second dimension, as the diagram is only in the second dimension. We know that black holes are so heavy they warp space-time with their weight.

There is an odd resemblance between both of them that our universe might just be a black hole as well. This adds fuel to the fact that countless black holes in our univserse are just more universes with different laws of nature.

It isn't a theory. It's a stone cold fact, and once you've believed so, you can freely move between them. In every universe, a piece of you exists. You've always existed in each and every universe, only taking on different forms. Endless possibilities are present, they are already formed. For every thought you've had, a reality exists. No matter how you look at it.

Some of y’all have never tried to comprehend anything past the 4th dimension and it really shows

today’s favorite customers:

1. woman who came in because of the purple 70s dress with matching sheer cape in the window; when I said ‘wanna see the capes behind the counter I was getting ready to tag?’ she said HELL yes and promptly fell in love with a green wool hooded cape that looked amazing on her, and

2. her cape-related happiness was so infectious that an elderly lady shopping with her friend said she was going to pay for half of it because she and this cape so clearly belonged together. I then took another ten percent off for restoring my faith in humanity. it was really nice.

I've been reading a lot of poetry in the library and on Poetry Daily. Poetry books. Poetry magazines. This (the presence of large numbers of poems in my life) has been going on for a while (a couple years).

These are "literary" poems. Many, probably most, are written by people with MFAs or PhDs in poetry.

How many literary poems? Certainly hundreds, probably thousands.

I've reached the point where "literary" poetry, however technically sophisticated and skilled, almost all seems like bath water. The level of skill and sophistication itself, the attention given to every word and line with tiny tweezers, the noticeable consciousness of thousands and thousands of other poems a "literary" poem must prove itself different from, takes away all the power.

There's no messiness. There's no uncleanliness. There's no urgent, desperate feeling. Literary poems are hard to remember and hard to read. They aren't the kind of thing a person would yell, sing, cry, or scratch onto a surface in a public place. They are not the kind of thing that would come to mind unprompted—that "lives in your head rent free," as people sometimes say.

Reading these poems, honestly, requires you to have studied poetry. The average person doesn't know how to get meaning out of them. They have many opaque layers of poetic devices that you have to carefully take apart. You have to know how to methodically try to see meaning in sentence structures and word choices that look like gobbledeygook when you read them in the way you would an email or a news article.

I'm tired of them. Even the most ferocious and raw experiences feel distant and thin in these most perfect and skillful poems. The warmest and most powerful and glowing love is cold. No matter how many words the poets use that are gutsy and fleshy and gross, it is just clinical. I feel this way more and more.

Reading poems has often made me feel...bad. Kind of icky. Uncomfortable. It always seemed weird.

But I understand why now—the inaccessibility and carefully preened words of literary poems make them feel cold and distant, nearly all of them. When human beings hate something, love something, or are about to die, or something similarly desperate and intense, their words are shaky and unfinished.

The things we would say to each other if the world was ending in thirty seconds would be more common and cliche than the words we said at any other time. 

When I read poets in magazines combining obscure words in clashing ways in an endless specialness contest, I feel the radiation of apathy. It feels like the writers have nothing but lukewarm and detached feelings for the world. I've noticed that my imaginations of what these poets must be like as people is mostly very, very negative—which is not fair, but when I read most of their writings, I get the sense of someone that doesn't love anything deeply.

I think there's some kind of connection between real passion and being—unfinished. Rough.

I think the purpose of art is to save your life, even if it's only a little bit at once. Art is about survival. We make it to survive, and we partake in it to survive.

(Before you say that, hey, people do those things for joy and pleasure—Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying.)

It can be really beautiful to take apart a complex and skillfully crafted poem like it's a tiny clockwork automaton. But—suppose I'm dying. Suppose I'm starving. It's a little insulting if the person who can give me food is painstakingly arranging my plate like a chef in a fancy expensive restaurant.

I need bread that is good to tear apart with your hands. I need to know that you care.

Newsflash: not every bad character that you find interesting needs a redemption arc. Sometimes the best thing about a character is how twisted they are.

How’s your 2020 going, Tumblr? In a perfect world, your year is going great; Your skin is clear, you’re getting a full eight hours of sleep, you’re not at risk of feeling the effects of voter suppression, climate change is nothing to worry about, and your reproductive rights are never challenged. 

But this isn’t a perfect world. Over the past 12 months, people with power have carefully interpreted laws to throw citizens off of voting rolls, we’ve become more aware of how desperately we need to save our planet, and reproductive rights are a constant battle around the world. This year, we’re committed to bringing important discussions on issues like these to your dashboard. 

We’re calling it #Issues2020. 

It’s not too late to make a change. That’s the crux of #Issues2020. The power is in your hands. Whether you’re gearing up for the U.S. presidential election, in the UK organizing in your community, engaging with the French Senate elections, following the South Korea legislative elections, or participating in any of the many, many elections happening around the globe this year, it’s never too late for civic engagement in your community. At the local, national, and global levels, there are ways to make a difference. You can call your political leaders to support or oppose an issue, endorse a candidate, organize a rally, lead a respectful discussion with your friends, volunteer to phone bank, and so much more. 

We want to give you a space to learn from others while teaching them, too. You can be a valuable resource. To help that along, we’re partnering with six powerful organizations to hold Q&A sessions here on Tumblr.

They’re called Issue Times, and they’ll be held throughout the year:

February - Voting rights with Black Girls Vote (@blackgirlsvote)

April - Mass incarceration and immigration with 18 Million Rising (@18MR)

June - Reproductive rights with Planned Parenthood Action Fund (@ppaction)

July - Gun reform with March For Our Lives

August - Climate change with TBD

October - LGBTQ+ Youth activism with It Gets Better (@itgetsbetterproject)

In addition to our upcoming Issue Times, we’re partnering with other organizations that keep people informed on things that matter. When We All Vote (@whenweallvote) will provide you with resources on registering to vote right on your dashboard if you go follow ‘em.

These organizations are here to help foster discussion, teach all of us how to be better citizens and neighbors, and outline what we’re up against. To make sure you get a chance to ask them your question, follow their Tumblrs as well us here on @action.

This isn’t a perfect world, but we can make improvements. It’s up to all of us. If you’re allowed a voice to safely use, use it. If you can vote, vote. Do it for yourself, for your loved ones, and for the people around you who may not be able to vote themselves.

What kind of commitment can you make this year for your community, Tumblr? What issues are you fighting for? Let us know in a post. Tag it #Issues2020 so other people can easily find it to hear your story and feel a little inspiration.
