where's the tweet thats like high value art heists should be legal and should be like a national pass time between countries like capture the flag. thats my platform

[johnnycrass]

like i'd stay in museum security as a job just for that like to be on the defending team against some other country's art heist team. could be like eurovision but more fun. no bloodshed allowed no weapons u gotta use ur hands only. we should also be allowed to trade players between nations

ninety-six countries immediately descend on the british museum to get their stuff back

Years ago, when Tumblr was still owned by Yahoo, Yahoo wanted Tumblr to use their video player, rather than Tumblr's own video player. This was partially to unify analytics, but mostly because Yahoo planned to put pre-roll ads on Tumblr videos. You know those unskippable Youtube ads? That's what was going to happen to Tumblr videos.

The only reason it didn't happen out is because Tumblr staff pushed back on the idea, saying it was absolutely idiotic and would anger users beyond their breaking point.

The next time you're angry at staff for fucking up something a lil bit, or trying to make money in some optional way, keep this in mind.

[kirincult]

In my experience, Tumblr staff cares more about their users than the staff of any other social media website. Most staff members are longtime users themselves and care deeply about the culture of this platform. I understand it's become kind of a funny meme to get mad at and tear down tumblr staff, but I would warn against taking them for granted, we all know how much worse it can be. Absolutely call them out on terrible/harmful decisions when warranted, but know that they do care, and they are trying, and maybe it's ok to appreciate that just a little bit, every once in a while.

Okay super random thought but can someone please tell me why I suddenly want to do a pirate cosplay (I’ve never cosplayed in my life) like why does my brain keep saying “DO IT” really loudly!?

[thelostscout]

Same

[druzydabbles]

This question goes out to all the steampunk or pirate cosplayers! Or just generally people who like to dress up in historical costume!

I’m looking for a good quality one of those classic pirate/colonial white blouses. You know, the ones with the ruffled sleeve ends and the lace up front? And some other pirate-era accessories, too–belts and trousers and boots and the like!

Does anyone have good recommendations for online sites or sellers? I’m not just looking to cosplay something once, I genuinely want to wear these… like normal clothes. Because I’m weird like that. So I want something that will actually fit well and be comfortable/durable. Price isn’t really that much of a concern, but I’d like to keep the whole thing under $300 if possible.

inside each sci-fi writer are two lavrogagits battling for dominance

one represents worldbuilding that imagines a future or alternate reality as it might be, strange and complex and following the folds of the universe, delving deep into the waters of speculative biology and anthropology

the other represents worldbuilding that’s just weird jokes about the present world and everyday politics plastered over an alien landscape

which lavrogagit wins? well, that’s a tough question… to be honest I have no idea if those things are fighting or fucking

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

oh it was both I think

anyway one of them laid eggs and it’s too late for antiparasitics now, I’m so sorry guys, I should have done more research on their lifecycles

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

more and more I am of the opinion that homestuck invented nothing and just happened to be a lot of peoples’ first encounter with common sci-fi tropes and other 20th century media

[lew-basnight]

The sheer number of things that people attribute to homestuck makes me confident I never need to read it because I’m already familiar with stories about people things and ideas

Spotify pulls Neil Young’s music after his ultimatum regarding Joe Rogan and ‘fake information about vaccines’

Good for Neil.

I’m agog that people are taking advice from someone who’s only accomplishment was being the unfunniest person on the tv show News Radio

[brunhiddensmusings]

me at a museum- (gazing at a random item of mundane life) what was the name of the person who made you? what songs did they sing? what jokes did they tell? what was their favorite food? did they ever marry their sweetheart? who remembered them when they died?

What. The. Fuck.

[chekhovsfiringsquad]

I've read fucking smut in front of people and they've never known because I never make a face.

But the MINUTE Person A does something sweet for Person B in the domestic fluff I'm reading, I start smiling a fucking idiot. What the fuck.

[mumblesplash]

kinda miss sitting in restaurants with my friends loudly having what is clearly the weirdest conversation the couple two tables over has heard all week and pretending not to notice them chuckle at my jokes but making sure to throw in enough exposition to give them context if they’re still listening

[mumblesplash]

“why the hell is this one getting so many notes” i think, briefly, before realizing we’re three years into The Great Loneliness and i have just wistfulposted on yearning dot com

[comradekatara]

obviously sokka is like, the platonic ideal of an Older Brother. and katara and azula are both suuuch Little Sisters. and it’s clear that toph and aang are both Only Children. but zuko.... does not have older brother energy. at all. so I think that means that lu ten, at some point, must’ve been around a lot, and was the older brother figure that both zuko and azula looked up to. and that’s why zuko is, in fact, the ultimate Middle Child.

[loopy777]

I was thinking the other day about how Zuko doesn't feel like an Older Brother.

Now I get it. Lu Ten is the key.

I should probably hate that tumblr will just NOT let things go ever, but I... actually love it.
