Don't give into despair.

Make art

Go for a walk

Read in a cemetary

Garden

Be with your friends

Run and feel the wind in your hair

Walk in a river

Despair is what they want from you. If you give in to despair, nothing is worth it. You dont care if billionaires destroy the environment, if the ceo refuses to pay you what youre worth, if the rent gets raised too high. Despair makes it easier for them to take what makes life worth living.

Taking the time to find the things that make life worth living is so worth it. Fall in love with the day, with yourself, with the ground beneath your feet. But do not let despair win.

the concept of laika the dog and simon the convict from iron lung being drawn together as the patron saints of one way trips is so unbelievably bittersweet. i saw the film i get it but also. henry passed during production and i think mark would find it very sweet that people have given the film character a dog as a parallel, almost like a partner. thinking about laika too hard makes me cry she deserved so much better than being sent up with no plan for landing her shuttle or even retrieving it.

no one deserves to be left behind to die in the name of advancement.

Hello?

Hey, what's up?

I need your help, can you come here?

Uhh... I can't, I'm buying skeletons.

Alright, well, hurry up and get over here.

I can't find them.

What do you mean you can't find them?

I can't find 'em; there's only hills.

What do you mean there's only hills?

It means there's only hills.

WELL, THEN GET OUT OF THE HILLS AISLE!

ALRIGHT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOUT AT ME!

THERE'S MORE HILLS!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S MORE HILLS?!

THERE'S JUST MORE HILLS!

GO INTO THE NEXT AISLE!

THERE'S STILL HILLS!

WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?!

I'M AT HILLS!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE "AT HILLS"?!

I MEAN I'M AT HILLS!

WHAT STORE ARE YOU IN?!

I'M AT THE HILLS STORE!

WHY ARE YOU BUYING SKELETONS AT THE HILLS STORE?!

FUCK YOU!

i saw a post about wikipedia losing site visits to slop generators. some of us are on wikipedia like white on rice but i think it'd be fun to encourage everyone to start reading a random wikipedia article every so often. yknow, help out their metrics. learn random shit. click to get a random article!

what kind of article did you get?

a person (or a group like a band)

some sort of animal, bug, bacteria, etc (viruses can go here)

some sort of plant, fungus, whatever the fuck seaweed is,

a location

an historical event

some sort of device, contraption, vehicle, etc

a company, organization, government, etc

any type of game (board, table top, video, etc)

any type of art form (writing, music, theatre, painting, etc)

a scientific article

something that doesn't fall into any of the above categories???

Voting ended onDec 17, 2025

and if you read it, feel free to expound in the tags on what it was about and if you learned anything!

I got an article about yuebeipotamon, "a species of potamid crab from hill streams and pools in north Guangdong, China." 🦀

[dragon-in-a-fez]

I got a place but I am fascinated by the categorisation system in which viruses and animals are together but fungi are something else

i love finding out what degrees my mutuals have. like what the fuck do you mean you do law? you’re a doctor who blog

[thediktatortot]

Not people saying “Fandom has always been like this” in that vent post I made. No. It hasn’t always been like this. Fandom has NEVER been like this until recently and if you were in fandom pre-tumblr purge, pre-twitter, pre-netflix boom, pre-tiktok….then you would fucking know it was nothing like this.

We still had the drive to create. We still sold prints and charms and made zines…but it was never like this.

The introduction of streaming, binge shows that drop all at once, tiktok and vine RIP i still love u vine but you were the beginning of a particularly ugly era) creating this bite sized, quick paced ‘content’ era of creation and it bled out into fucking everything else.

Fandoms didn’t die down when the show ended or the season was over. You didn’t mass unfollow artist, writers or moots just because they changed fandoms. There wasn’t this need to please the algorithm in order for your posts to get seen by people and enjoyed.

Fandoms used to last YEARS. Star Trek is literally the oldest running fandom out there and you got people in there that could care less about the new stuff and still have been happily prancing through their fucking fifty year old fandom today. Hell, even SPN after all it’s fuckups and shitshows has a dedicated fanbase STILL creating tons of art and fic.

There is no patience anymore. No calm feeling of taking in fandom and friends at a pace that which doesn’t make you stressed and is still fun.

Do I blame fandom for this? Of course not, but people are complacent with it and start changing their vocab to accommodate and end up making the situation so deep it cant be fixed.

We call Art & Fic Content now, completely stripping the value of what it is to a level of consumerism instead of personal entertainment & community bonding.

[violettenouvel]

Let OP talk, they’re absolutely right.

[urbanhymnal]

It really is crazy how fast people burn through things now. I saw people saying the Arcane fandom was dead only a few *weeks* after the last episode aired. Imagine being a fic writer working on a big fic for the show and seeing that. Or an artist working on a fan comic. Like, c’mon, people.

I have ADHD so I’m immune to podcast

[the-pink-bunny]

stealing this from @chefpyro 's tags cause same

[tricktster]

always thought that it was crazy other folks with adhd couldn't focus on podcasts when i was totally immune from that issue then quarantine happened, i stopped driving long distances every day, and you will never fucking believe what I learned I can't do

[freshcuntgrass]

Wait. Do people just sit down and have a podcast without any other sides, like it's a full meal? Podcast is something you ADD to other activity. That's like eating a bowl of cilantro and going "mmm yummy salad"

it’s so true that the greatest weapon against nihilism and existential despair is to find joy in the mundane and never stop chasing after love

every person can feel freddie’s presence in their souls when they sing MAMAAAAAA UUHHHH, I DONT WANNA DIE, I SOMETIMES I WISH I’VE NEVER BEEN BORN AT ALL with all the air in their lungs i’m not joking

[peachdisco]

it’s fucking crazy to think about the amount of people who have sung bohemian rhapsody? like it’s such a unifying song, by nature of the fact that so many people know it. it holds so many good memories for me and other people. it’s a song you scream in the car with your friends while you drive around your boring hometown, it’s a song you drunkenly sing with your arm around your best friend, or a song you sing along to with strangers when it’s on in public. it’s bittersweet to think about freddie’s legacy carrying on like that through his masterpiece. freddie carries on because he’s a part of so many people’s good memories and bohemian rhapsody is a huge part of that.

Reblog if you have sung bohemian rhapsody with your friends

[reikah-deactivated20190906]

every time i see this post i’m reminded of the video of 65,000 people singing bohemian rhapsody in near-perfect harmony

like, what other song can make that claim?

[crewdlydrawn-deactivated2022072]

Some of the highlights of that video include:

The crowd cheering after the first stanza when they realize what they’re all doing

So many people audibly ‘doing the guitar parts’… like ya do

The sheer number of voices joining the rediculous falsetto (thanks, Roger)

How they all start jumping at the ramp-up “so you think you can stomp me”

Hands up, hundreds, thousands deep for the final “ooooo”s and the last line to close the song

[aces-to-apples]

Only days before my state went into lockdown, “Bohemian Rhapsody” came on in the restaurant kitchen I’d just been hired at and, no shit, every single worker in that little diner started singing along. Me (the only queer afaik), the manager, all the other kitchen workers, the dishwasher up front, the two people on the counter, all but two of the men over 30. Just belting out Freddie Mercury at the top of their lungs. And you can bet when “sometimes I wish I’d never been born at all” came around, we every single one of us ramped up the intensity and basically made sure Freddie could hear us in the afterlife.
