I'm having this weird bug that's making it extremely difficult to add text to reblogs and reply to comments/PMs. Unless I'm able to fix it, I probably can't message you until I get to my computer on Monday or Tuesday. If I don't get to it before Wednesday then I can't speak till the Tuesday or Wednesday after THAT 💀

So I promise I'm not ignoring you! I can scroll Tumblr but not communicate on Tumblr. I feel silenced. Writing this was such a pain in the neck!

Tumblr users will see a post with a specific date on it like the 17th of February, 2025 and automatically schedule it to that date and reblog it every year on the same date thereafter

I keep getting people asking about bowling on this post so I’m just gonna repost this drawing I made on Twitter

[lorddoom01]

How did her grandmother fill 4 vases?

[medli20]

She was a very large woman. Easily 12 feet tall.

[mystorl]

then why the heck is her family not tall too?!?!

[medli20]

Pop-pop was very small so it canceled out.

[i-say-ok]

ok.

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

[x0401x]

Saw a sharp increase in my follower count after posting this. The legitimacy of it is driving me nuts so I also feel the need to say that you can follow anyone on here regardless of whether you’ve interacted with them or not. People like the above mentioned blog are exceptions. Perhaps they themselves think they aren’t and therefore will act like they aren’t, but they are, trust me.

Just follow anyone you wanna follow. The worst thing that can happen is maybe getting soft-blocked by the other person, but if they do soft-block you, then they were never that worth following in the first place.

[starfieldcanvas]

wow. really hope this isn't actually a norm taking hold with new users! this isn't facebook, you don't need to know people before following them

[westiec]

this is the '10 year mutuals you've never spoken to once' site

[startrekgifs]

Follow! REBLOG! It's how the site works!!

[c-rowlesdraws]

lol what is that really some kind of new etiquette fresh users are trying to enforce? No way! There have always been people who prefer to keep their circle small on here and that’s their prerogative, but it’s definitely not the dominant culture! This is the “follow someone because they reblogged a cool bird once” website! This is how tumblr thrives without being algorithm-driven by default.

захожу на пинтерест и пишу “хмм… мне это очень.. пинтересно…!” в комментариях под каждым постом

[untranslatingposts]

I go on pinterest and write "hmm... I find this very... pinteresting...!" in the comments under every post

[translatingpostsintorussian]

you think you're above me. you imagine that you and I are fighting on opposing sides. and yet when you turn my effort right back around into what it was born from you do not realize that you do nothing but fight fire with fire. like a baffled beast you lunge at the mirror not recognizing your own reflection. in repeating after me and those like me you become the one you crave so badly to destroy. we are the same.

no language should be mocked other than french

[gareauxtrains]

Birds is “oiseaux” in French.

No letter is pronunced the way it should.

And there are seven of them.

[teaboot]

ITS PRONOUNCED “WAZO” AND YES, I WILL DIE MAD ABOUT IT

[judgejudyofficial]

oiseaux hits every vowel in the french alphabet and manages to only be pronounced with 2 goddamn syllables

[genderfluidintake]

got vowels coming out the oiseaux

[boosyboo9206]

This will never not be funny and I will never not reblog it.

if you know you take 5 minutes to get ready and your partner takes 20, what do you do?

make sure we've agreed on leaving time so they can start 15 minutes before me

get ready at the same time and keep bitching about waiting 15 minutes every time

Voting ended onMay 29, 2025

[homunculus-argument]

That is still variation of the first option.

[darnitjack]

Get ready 20 minutes early and then monitor the child until they're ready

[parlaypeach]

I don’t do anything because he’s an adult and should know how to manage his time properly without me reminding him.

[homunculus-argument]

How does he know when you're planning to leave?

[moshi-tehkitty]

I think the secret third option is wait until your partner is ready to go and then make THEM wait 5 additional minutes for you to get ready. This allows the slow partner to double check while they wait.

[homunculus-argument]

How do I convince my boyfriend to do that instead?

[awkwarddaydreamingpotato]

You can also assert your dominance by going to get ready after your partner and then coming back naked and wearing only socks and sandals
