No Phone at Work, No Work at Home—Fair Enough #corporate #animation #gpl...
I’m currently on the tail-end of a week vacation (Wednesday to Wednesday), and yesterday, received 15 messages, to my primary cellphone. During the week, I also received a handful of texts from the folks I supervise (who all know I was on vacation).
Coming back to Tumblr (I've never really left, but yeah), and I'm realizing...
I never really taught myself how to use "Likes" and "Reblogs" in a way that's beneficial to myself.
What are your reasons for "Liking" something on Tumblr?
got a major pest problem this year actually
There's just nothing normal about shelter. It's an institutional setting that's highly restrictive.
Cities like San Francisco are investing in shelter beds as a way to justify harsh criminal treatment of unhoused people, but shelters alone won't solve homelessness. My latest newsletter!

These are so cool.
Still here, maybe a little more active again.
Tumblr is that social network that has always been there. It's exactly what you make of it.
That said, I've sucked at that last part, not making it much of anything for myself.
I'll be sharing more of my YouTube music things, and hopefully getting into some chill/casual gaming streaming as well.
Welcome back to any others finding themselves in similar circumstances.
I find it so funny, in light of TikTok’s imminent American demise, that even now they aren’t considering moving to tumblr. The last two social media refugee crises (Twitter -> X and whatever happened with Reddit) prompted a wave of wide-eyed new baffled tumblr users to flood this app and yet last I heard all of the tiktokers are flooding en-masse a Chinese social media app. That is entirely in Mandarin. Instead of moving to tumblr.
Like. People are learning mandarin to join this social media site. I’m not joking. There are tutorials going around to show people who don’t speak Mandarin how to sign up for this app. They’re all talking about how they’d rather learn a new language than join instagram reels and it is not a thought in ANYONE’S mind that tumblr is also potentially an option
To be clear im not mad about this. I’d rather see a generation of people learn a new language and engage in cross cultural connections than have a wave of tiktokers flood this app but I still think this whole thing is very funny
no because that is quite literally what is happening on Red Book right now like. All of the Chinese users went “hey why are there suddenly a gazillion Americans on here?” to which the Americans went “they’re banning TikTok and we’re moving out of spite” and the Chinese were like “oh cool send us pictures of your cats and help us with English homework and we’ll send you pictures of our cats and help you learn Mandarin” and as far as I can tell everyone is having a genuinely very nice time together.
Every day is a reason to celebrate 🥂🥳
This is a map of the range of all giraffe species. By my count that puts them in just 16 countries out of the 54 in Africa (of which 5 are island countries with no territory on the continental mainland). That's 30%, quite a long way shy of all, and as you can see many of those countries that do have giraffes only have a tiny portion of their territory within giraffes' habitats
Wow, I knew they weren't in "every African country", but I didn't realize just how restricted their range was
Good teachers don't mind saying "I don't know" or that they need to look it up and will get back to you.
Not only that but giraffes in different areas have different patterns and it's so cool
Masai giraffes look cool af
The Masai giraffes are stuntin’ on the heauxs!

This switched gears from a post about white ignorance to a giraffe appreciation post. Such is the nature of tumblr.
I hate daylight savings time
“If you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustle” my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.
whenever i hear about hustle culture i always think about this post on r/antiwork
to succeed in adult friendship you must remember the key tenets of child friendship:
Play Toys
Play Pretend
Snack Time
successful examples from my travels:
my SO and i have a projector. our cool neighbors have a vast dvd collection. fundamentally these are toys. we have those neighbors over for movie nights. Play Toys. more broadly shared hobbies fall into this category but it's extra fun if there's Equipment to admire and share.
ttrpgs are obvious but invaluable examples of Play Pretend. HOWEVER your options are not limited to this. i started a local writing group and this is also Play Pretend bc we all talk about our stories together. there are many such creative endeavors in this world.
having someone over for a meal is Snack Time. if you make a lil thing of it and eat at the table and make it nice with dessert and a fancy beverage to share it feels very grown up. and you will feel impressed with yourself for it. but it scratches the same itch as trading fruit snacks and suchlike.
of course these can be mixed and matched. most activities are enhanced by Snack Time if your friend targets enjoy breaking bread together.
and one begets the other. if you Play Pretend with someone for long enough they may eventually tell you about Toys they have and if you want to play too they'll probably let you. if they're nice.
life can be lonely when we live in separate boxes and worry about money all the time. this is what makes friendships hard, not growing older. but the antidote to isolation is connection, and the oldest wisdom we ever learn: share your toys. share your games. share your snacks.
Being a musician is all about play toys, play pretend, and often, snack time (especially if you play and pretend music-making long enough).
