thatsadsmallchild

I need more people in my life who also know shoot from the hip so someone understands why my autism is randomly making me say "darling, the chinchilla's a fucking n*zi" while I'm trying to do coursework

thatsadsmallchild

I do love this post because it means I made a bunch of friends in the sfth community, but I did get bullied off the sfth discord by a mod so it's a give and take thing I guess

#sfth #shoot from the hip #theres a reason im not active on that discord anymore #and its definitely not because i dont watch the boys #or that i dont have friends on it

kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warning… like yes i’m always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc

Say it with me! Wheelchairs aren’t sad! Mobility aids aren’t sad! Mobility aids are instruments of freedom!

when people use “you messed with the wrong fandom” as a threat

twin-gemiinii

It’s funnier because we all know there’s only one fandom that does that but if we mention it specifically, they’ll do just that.

unorthodoxchronicles

If you’re aiming at SuperWhoLocks, ITS NOT FUNNY.

First photo of Jupiter was taken in 1879 by Agnes Mary Clerk:

For comparison: the latest photo of Jupiter taken by the James Webb Telescope in infrared:

Firstly, I'm not letting this die in the notes:

Next, the reason the Red Eye is in the wrong spot in the first photo is because old telescope photos were upside down. I am not sure why they didn't flip them, tbh

And the stretched look to the storm is because it used to be much bigger: big enough to fit 3 Earth's.

autistic-af

This post has gotten quite a bit of this question:

In our visual spectrum, Jupiter is reds and browns.

This is due to the hydrogen, helium, water droplets, ice crystals and ammonia crystals in its atmosphere. It also is home to raging storms and cyclones, giving it the distinctive stripes.

The infrared picture in blue was taken by the James Webb Telescope. Infrared is invisible to the human eye, but when adjusted into the visual spectrum in the photograph it lets scientists see the different layers of Jupiter's clouds.

The blues are reflective of deeper main clouds, and the white of the famous eye is because it is reflecting too much sunlight.

reblog if you think it's okay to drag the corpse of your rival around the walls of his home city on account of your unrelenting rage

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!

there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

Hi Tumblr Newbies,

The inevitable new influx of people means a roundup of folks talking about "we don't have an algorithm here," "you NEED to reblog things," etc. and I would just like to offer some actually helpful advice.

One of tumblr's best assets is that it offers you multiple algorithmic feeds, including not having one at all. If you are on mobile, you will notice a "following" tab, followed by a "for you" tab, which is algorithmically generated. "Following" only includes posts from people you follow, in reverse chronological order. That's it. The vast majority of tumblr users prefer it this way, as we predate algorithms.

If you are new and looking to expand what you're finding quickly, you can browse under the algorithmic feed and tweak it once you've followed a few blogs and liked a few things - under "settings," you can choose to have posts related to your likes, or the likes of people you follow.

However - again, most users on this website do not use the algorithm. It's for that reason that reblogging posts is of such importance here. Liking a post is an appreciated sign of goodwill, but for the majority of users, it will not boost the post. Many of use use likes just as a save folder.

So if you genuinely like something you see on here, I encourage you to reblog it, because that is the only way the post will continue to spread around. Almost everyone started their blog with a theme they were loathe to ruin with an unrelated reblog, but by now most of us are just streams of consciousness showing each other things we find funny or interesting, and if you view your blog the same way you will have a much more enjoyable experience.

I would like to add:

It's not cringe to reblog or like an old post

It's not cringe to like multiple posts from the same person in a row

Some of the best experiences I've had on this app are because someone randomly liked an ancient post of mine with less than a dozen notes and reminded me of it

the-haiku-bot

It’s not cringe to like

multiple posts from the same

person in a row

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

m-azing1

Oh yah I love that YouTube channel! You know the one that’s a group of friends playing games they’re all British and one of them is a pale bald man with a red beard that is constantly made fun of for being bald!

slutforpringles

The hypocrisy and double standards are absolutely astounding.

Drivers trying to use their voice and platform to make a genuine difference in the lives of marginalised peoples and communities and for the greater good of society and humanity?? Not allowed

FIA president making an overtly political statement by congratulating a corrupt, racist, sexist, convicted sexual abuser and felon on his electoral victory?? Sure go right ahead

quasi-normalcy

The fact that you can’t raise taxes on billionaires even slightly without them pouring money into fascist political movements is, of itself, evidence that billionaires as a class shouldn’t be allowed to exist in the first place.

quasi-normalcy

I’d just like to point out that every single thing that has happened in the 6 years since I created this post has only reinscribed its absolute moral correctness in my mind.

There was a young man from Peru

Whose limericks stopped at line two

finally-figured-it-out

There once was a man from Verdun

genteelblackhole42

There once was a man from the sticks Whose limericks stopped at line six. They were fine till line five Then they took quite a dive — But the problem is easy to fix If you just ignore the last line, it doesn't even follow the rhyme scheme oh god I've really lost control of this thing I'm so sorry...

shredsandpatches

There once was a man

From Cork who got limericks

And haiku confused.

ruckuscauser

There once was a man from the sticks

Who liked to compose limericks

But he failed at the sport

Because he wrote them too short

There once was a fellow named Dan, Whose poetry never would scan. When told this was so, He replied, "Yes, I know-- It's because I try to squeeze as many syllables into the last line as I possibly can."

paulgadzikowski

On Tumblr did lasses and lads Their way with fail poetry had. You're having your fun But you're fooling no one - It takes skill to do something this bad.
