I canât get over the line delivery in these
I love tumblr. I love that tumblr is the best social media site of 2021.
Every other site has spent the last decade perfecting the art of targeted ads. I am a wallet of flesh and blood which must be stripped bare and profiled and picked apart for the maximally efficient way to squeeze profit from my presence. Every other site will fold and morph itself to a shape of my liking - like a fairy tale trickster stealing memories and taking their mold - to lull me into compliance and loosen my coin purse.
Facebook sees me searching fitness equipment and injects my timeline with athletic wear ads. Reddit profiles the subreddits I follow and eagerly promotes a new coding bootcamp or cloud service at every turn. Google overhears me lamenting over my moving to-do list on voice call and fills in my âhow much to tip moversâ query before Iâve gotten the third word typed out.
Tumblr never even tried.
They could have. The information is there. The basic infrastructure, presumably, exists. Tumblr can recommend me tags based on tags I follow, blogs based on blogs I follow, even posts that for one reason or another may strike my fancy. Tumblr could be - SHOULD be - funneling this framework into advertising, as the only means that free-to-use social media platforms can turn a profit in our capitalistic hellscape.
They just donât.
Today I saw an ad for treating Hyperhidrosis - a condition, I think, in which a person sweats too much - and I saw it twice, four posts apart, and it is so incredibly benignly impersonally ineptly untargeted toward me compared to all other pinpoint-aimed advertising that Iâm endeared to it. Tumblr knows NOTHING about me. 8 years, 51,000 likes, and tumblr has not learned a THING about me.
Advertisements for a mattress? Shitty mobile game ads that donât make even the slightest pretense at being anything other than a candy crush rip-off? Choose-your-own adventure games either about Royal Espionage or Choosing The Wrong Dress For Your Date with ZERO in-between.
And then this. This here. The culmination, the crown-jewel of tumblrâs nihilistic non-compliance with the state of social media advertising. Any pretense of capitalistic exchange is abandoned at the gas station by the side of the road. This is not a company. This is not a product. This is not anything that fulfills the contract of consumer and seller.Â
THIS. THIS IS WHAT TUMBLR HAS TO OFFER INSTEAD.
âPour vinegar on your bread, fuck you.â
âPut it in the garbage, fuck you.â
âYour wife says youâre a fucking dumbass, fuck you.â
Thatâs it. Thatâs the advertisement. You vinegar-breadless cuck. You virgin extraordinaire bereft of bread and garbage can. I am fucking your wife right now in our vinegar-soaked motel bed. She puffs a cigarette which I pulled from the trashcan and we both laugh heartily at her recounts of your immasculine ineptitude. I donât want your money. I donât want anything from you. Fuck you.Â
Amazing. Amazing. What a state of things to ring in 2021. What a great platform we all collectively choose to be on.
Bitch what

Great Pretender || Cynthia Moore Episode 16
Currently thinking about this scene in S4E16 after the kids called todoroki boring
Oh, the hero is a straight-laced, charismatic, conventionally handsome, neurotypical, heterosexual white man who trusts the government and lives in a bland, flavorless relationship with a subserviant, less-talented woman whose life revolves around him, and I WASNâT supposed to like the villain more? My bad
Any villain: I too once believed in the ruling power, but when I put my faith in it to protect me I was betrayed. The people who did this faced no consequences for their actions, faced no trial, and as we speak continue to do more harm to others. Your justice is a pretty plan in theory, hero, but it is naive- the real world is messy and cruel and unfair, and I plan to rectify that. Too long I have tried other ways to make this system work- it is time to make a change
Conventional Heroman: Killing people is wrong and the government probably had good plans for this death ray
Great Pretender Season 3
GUYS!!
THE DIRECTOR OFÂ âGREAT PRETENDERâ SAID THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF A SEASON THREE
(In an Anime News Network interview, Kaburagi revealed the possibility of doing the titleâs third installment.) - Quoting from the Article
âIf you want to see a [Great Pretender] sequel, do be sure to tell your friends and acquaintances about it,â he said. âSo that you can increase the viewer count on Netflix!â

https://micky.com.au/great-pretender-season-3-update-hiro-kaburagi-teases-series-return/Â (The article)
SO PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT IT SO WE CAN RAISE UP THE VIEWER COUNT ON NETFLIX. I DONT CARE IF YOU DISLIKED SEASON TWO, WE CAN GET SOME MORE DEVELOPMENT ON THE CHARACTERS. Your really gonna sit here and tell me you donât want to see all them again because if you say you donât we all know your lying.
God I really wish carrying stuffed animals around with you was socially acceptable
I donât mean to take over a post, but I actually did a project on this for my sociology of deviance class in college!
I carried a large stuffed rabbit whenever I went in public for about a week to observe the reaction of others. The point of the project was to do something harmless yet unusual to see if the action would be considered deviant, in which case someone had to try to correct or shame the behavior.
Long story short, nobody tried to correct my behavior. I was asked about it casually, had a few lingering stares thrown my way and when I was with my boyfriend, shop employees would direct questions to him instead of me. However, nobody refused to assist me when I was alone in a store, nobody said anything about the rabbit besides âoh, thats a cute bunny!â and I attended college classes without even a teacher questioning it.
In conclusion, it is socially acceptable to carry a stuffed animal, its just not a societal norm. ^^
#for followers with a big anxiety or self hate problem #bring a friend with you (via @kingdom-for-muses)
DOING IT
My friend gave me a stuffed monkey plushy when I was struggling with uni, and I took him everywhere for like four years, usually velcrod to my backpack. No one said a damn thing, except my renaissance professor who saw it one day in the hallway and cracked the fuck up because I had a literal monkey on my back and he just looked at me like, âoh god, me tooâ. I used to leave him on desks during classes and exams (the monkey, not my prof). It was my reminder that someone cared if I was coping. But more than that it was soothing to have something to fidget with that wasnât a pen. I used to ping those fucking things across the room I was so agitated. Harder to hurt people with a projectile stuffed monkey.
I got what I thought was a normal screen cleaning kit for my computer while I was in college. Much to my delight, instead of a little washcloth or whatever, the kit came with a tiny stuffed pig.Â
So I carried this pig in my backpack all through college, periodically taking it out, spraying my screen, and using the pig to wipe it off.Â
Now, I kept the pig in the side pocket of my bag where he was completely visible.
Then one day in screenwriting class I pulled him out to wipe my screen.Â
One of the guys sitting next to me looked appalled. âYouâre wiping it off with your little stuffed animal??âÂ
I explained what the pig was.Â
Turns out, the guy had noticed it and just thought it was adorable I carried a stuffed animal with me every day. Heâd never mentioned it before.Â
Honestly, people do not care, and will not say anything. No matter the reason for your little stuffed animal friend.Â
And if youâre still really nervous about it keep a stuffed animal keychain on your bag. I have a cute little frog that stays on my backpack so when work gets stressful I can squeeze it.
For my anxious followers.
Confirmed. I take my Venom tsum tsum to uni when I need a little mental boost. The little goo always brings me good luck and overall makes my day just a tiny bit better. I havenât received a single comment about them so far.
Bring your stuffed buddies to class/work/whatever, guys. People donât care.
I have a couple of Ikea sharks* and have had cause to periodically carry them around in public - one of which I bought with the last $15 I had at the time, after making a series of big life changes. âThis is frivolous and I donât have to care about that because Iâm getting paid shortlyâIâm going to do it!â
The reactions I get range from amusement through delight and âWHERE DID YOU GET THATâ but so far, never disapproval.
The moral of the story is Carry Your Emotional Support Plushie With Pride, You Deserve It.
*pictured: not my shark
true story: I once had an appallingly awful day at the hell job and it coincided with my giant squishy Baymax being delivered from China, and no lie I hugged on that Baymax to keep from crying until it was time to leave
I travel with DC (âDonât Careâ) the Emotional Support Honey Badger. I go through TSA with him attached to my backpack, I hug him when I sleep in transit, I prop him next to me in cafes in cities, towns, and rural areas. The only time anyoneâs ever so much as raised an eyebrow at me was the TSA agent who recognized what he was, and asked it he could get his picture taken with him.
People donât judge. Kids think youâre awesome. You get a companion who never judges you. Itâs all win.
I know probably everyone has seen this post already, but its too good not to reblog.
Donât be afraid to carry your comfort items around with you! :D I take some of my stuffed friends to work sometimes, and no one ever bats an eye at them!
*looks at my pink teddy bear I named Ruby* youâre coming to college with me and thatâs not a choice
DONT DROP THAT GPA, AYYE! DONT DROP THAT GPA
a worthwhile investment

Self care is a balance of caring for today and future you. : ) While itâs good for you to do things like take breaks and treat yourself, itâs also important that you set up the future you for good health and happiness too! Whether itâs eating more vegetables, saving money, or exercising even when itâs a struggle, those are all valuable forms of care too!

Thereâs a lot of pressure for your looks and your life to look a certain kind of âperfectâ way. But life is so much more beautiful because itâs imperfect! I hope little penguin and little pear can help remind you of this fact. đ
