Figuring it out as I go

A not so average guy. :) 34 M. Minors DNI. Seriously. I value authenticity and sincerity. People who have substance and value the world around them. I like collecting rocks and minerals, growing crystals, growing my own food, telescoping and exploring nature. I'm not always sweet, and these fangs know how to bite. My blog is 18+ only.

Cartoon Network early 2000s cafeteria

This was probably the best era for cartoons and after this it all went downhill.

You know what, making this a pinned post.

There are some sad and troubling tags / places on Tumblr, particularly relating to loneliness and isolation.

I've noticed some users complaining or just venting about being lonely and depressed about it, which I understand. What I don't get is that the same folks will also reject any help or support.

Why? What's the point of this?

[retrotoons-rush]

I guess I might've browsed Tumblr too much yesterday. Instead of posts about interesting topics and hobbies, my feed is now only showing shitty boring blogs where people only post selfies, or edgy images.

I guess the algorithm ran out of things.

My attempt at astrophotography: Lagoon Nebula

Taken from my dobsonian telescope, with a fixed Nikkon DSLR camera.

I don't have an electronic tracking mount so I have to take individual pictures and stack them, then process accordingly. I'm still new this, so...

Some people's personalities are like YouTube ads.

You want to find out something, but have to sift through 6 layers of bullshit, only you find out the they weren't what you thought they were.

Nice thumbnail, zero substance.

Something that annoys me is the constant whining about "more queer spaces, more queer communities" but then they're immediately like "yeah! And we need ones that don't cost money or require a purchase!"

Girl that's exactly why they close down after a year. You NEED money to keep these places open. There's no magic Gay Money Pot with endless cash to keep these places open. It requires YOU to put your money where your values are!!

[retrotoons-rush]

I agree with this wholeheartedly.

I will also say that Gay Money Pot sounds like a concept Yu-Gi-Oh card.

reblog if you're also lame and weird.

I'm blocking and reporting every blog that's using the art, artists on Tumblr and similar tags to spread porn instead.

No. Use your own damn tags. Leave the art tags out of it.

[retrotoons-rush]

Ever looked at some of these blogs - that say they are "not interested" and "not looking", and think,

Gee, some of these people definitely coming across as desperate enough to look around for validation

Is it just me who feels this way?
