To everyone having a tough Mother’s Day because you don’t have a mom, or don’t have the kind of mom or the kind of mother-child relationship the greeting cards are about,

Here is a super cool video of dancers with snychronized electronic suits. It’s one of the neatest videos I’ve ever seen and it has nothing at all to do with motherhood and I hope it brings you happiness or at least distraction.

Here is a subreddit of cats standing on their hind legs. All of the titles and all of the comments are just the word “cat” so you don’t have to worry about dealing with Reddit cultural bullshit. Just cats on their hind legs, and people announcing “cat.”

Here is a website where you draw glowing kaleidoscope shapes. I’m not sure if it works on mobile? On desktop it’s really neat.

And here’s Chuck.

Chuck would love you if he met you. Unconditionally. He’s just a sweet little guy who loves everybody he meets and I’m sure you’d be no different. He doesn’t ask anything. (Well, he asks for snacks, but if you don’t have snacks he’ll still love you.) He doesn’t judge or hold grudges. Whoever you are, whatever baggage you carry with you, Chuck would love you.

If you’re having a rough time around Mother’s Day and all the obligations and preconceptions it carries with it, Chuck would love you.

(Chuck is an adorably fluffy little cocker spaniel puppy who looks 100% ready for hugs)

Moving to Pillowfort

Hi, all! It’s been a good time here-- I’ve seen so many wonderful posts from so many wonderful people, and it’s been a really good place to get to know. I’m hoping, though, that https://www.pillowfort.io/ will end up with many of the great qualities of Tumblr without being owned by a large corporation trying to profit off of our information and screentime. And this morning, Pillowfort opened up to new users.

So, from now on, you can find me at:

https://www.pillowfort.io/Things-That-Are-Great

In an ideal world, I’ll be able to import this Tumblr there wholesale in the future. In the meantime, I’ll be moving over my original posts and favorite reblogs as soon as I can figure out a good way to credit them.

Thank you so much, everyone I’ve interacted with here! It’s been really good, and really necessary during some tough times for me.

See you on the other side!

What __***is***__ warriormale?

warriormale… [thumps chest] is in here

captainamericacrunch

opposite of toxic masculinity. in this house we love and cherish warriormale.

prismatic-bell

@warriormale is the perfect example of how things like fighting don’t HAVE to be toxic. The examples he shares are of men who have consented to fighting each other using an agreed-upon set of rules in a controlled environment as a way to train their bodies, shed extra energy, and build friendships. He’s spoken out in favor of defending the innocent and strongly AGAINST things like domestic violence. And he’s in favor of men being able to share things like hugs and kisses as a way to express emotion without those actions having to be tied to sexuality!

This kind of physicality is what all men should aspire to and it’s part of why I follow him even though he’s 100% not the kind of thing I normally have on my dash. I’m proud to have him as part of my Tumblr community.

Thank you all for these tributes.

These are very kind.

I propose a new term: ‘wolfbaiting’ for when a work of literature references wolves in its title but actually has no wolves

I wish I’d known about this when I was homeless.

I could’ve taught it to all the other ladies at the shelter and Darlene could’ve sucked a sour one because she never would have been able to bitch at us for “having too many clothes.”
