2026 !!!!!!!!!!!
In 1899, people were walking around shouting '23' at each other and laughing, and confused reporters were writing articles trying to figure out what it meant.

I’m gonna propose “I guess you haven’t read the silmarillion then :/” as a default response to anyone not understanding a reference to something obscure. even if it’s not remotely Tolkien related. I want to build up a perception that perhaps the sum total of human knowledge is contained in the silmarillion
Dancers in costume for a performance of Sleeping Beauty, circa 1917. Photo from the Alice Weir collection, via the Winnipeg Archives
Alice Weir moved to Winnipeg at age 7, and began teaching ballet in 1915, at just 18 years old. Her parents supported her in her passion for dance, converting the living room and dining room in their Wardlaw Avenue home into a dance studio, and her mother would make costumes for Alice’s students recitals. Her students and her preformed recitals at such places as the Royal Alexandria Hotel, Eatons Grill Room, the Winter Club, and the Walker Theatre (now known as the Burton Cummings Theatre)
thinking about her (manitoba)
reading poetry forces you to ask wrenching, necessary, impossible questions, like "is the author stupid? or am I?"
albatrosses will wipe the floor with any species of bird you choose to compare them to. they’re the Most, or at least Extremely, by almost every metric
wingspan. lifespan. intricacy of mating dances. devotion to monogamy. investment in offspring. ability to circumnavigate the globe. literary symbolism that is flexible but not to the point of meaninglessness. eyeliner quality. I could go on
This is Wisdom. She’s at least 71 years old. In the photo is one of her chicks, that she had at age 69. Her last chick was hatched in 2021, though she hasn’t bred for the last two years since her mate has disappeared.
She has flown an estimated 3,000,000 miles since 1956
Wonderful news! Wisdom's found a new mate and he is now incubating her egg!!
The oldest known banded bird in the wild, a Mōlī or Laysan albatross known as Wisdom and who is at least 74 years old, has once again mystif
every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt
he stole christmas, kayla! stop with your #notallgrinches propaganda!
you know what if someone told me i was a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce i’d probably be bitter enough to steal christmas too
Interestingly, though The Grinch Who Stole Christmas is narrated by Boris Karloff, the big musical number is sung by the late Thurl Ravenscroft - an American voice actor better known as the voice of Tony the Tiger.
My headcanon is that the Grinch and Tony the Tiger had a bad breakup, and “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” is the resulting breakup song.
Did this really HAVE to be the first thing I see when I opened up Tumblr?
Yes.
oh god theres art
@altadude you know what must be done.
ive been avoiding reblogging this honestly but just. What the fuck. What the fuck tumblr
I apologize to all my followers for this
if i had to read this you do too
I have a hate-hate relationship with this
Good grief… I’m sorry, but I can’t not reblog this…
Tis the season bitches
DAMN IT WHY WOULD YOU BRING THIS BACK YOU HEATHEN
Why is this on my dash?
…..I’m.. Bothered? by the fact that I’m not bothered by this.
You’re not bothered?? I’m not only not bothered, I’m freaking invested. I’m having actual empathetic sadness for The Grinch. I want them to go into couple’s counseling. I want the “ten years later” when Tony visits Whoville on business and meets the reformed Grinch whose heart has grown 3 times its usual size. I want them to reminisce over a shared dinner of roast beast and wine, then spend a drunken night together, then realize that maybe things are different and people really do change. I want a 3-act story where there’s a long dark night of soul searching and the realization that maybe we’ve all got a little bit of bad banana with greasy black peel inside us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make a damned fine banana bread if someone will give us a chance.
“maybe we’ve all got a little bit of bad banana with greasy black peel inside us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make a damned fine banana bread if someone will give us a chance” is an incredibly profound quote and I did NOT expect to get it from a Grinch x Tony the Tiger post
every fucking year i have to see this on my dash please just let me fucking r e s t
It’s that time again.
Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.
Might I add:
The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed
The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child
The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship
The adventures of a space roomba
Cinderella finding Araura (and falling in love)

LAIKA
THE PATRON SAINT OF ONE-WAY TRIPS
In 1957, Laika, a small stray dog taken from the streets of Moscow, was the first living creature to orbit the earth. Her trainers kissed her nose and begged her forgiveness, and then sealed her inside the capsule of Sputnik 2 three days before launch. She waited patiently in a compartment just large enough for her to stand as they readied the rockets. It was early November, and she was cold.
In the days before her historic journey, the scientist who had chosen Laika to fly took her home from the laboratory where she had been trained. He let her play with his children. He later wrote, "Laika was quiet and charming...I wanted to do something nice for her: She had so little time left to live."
Sputnik 2 launched with Laika as its sole passenger on 3 November, 1957. It had a porthole, only six inches wide, where Laika could see the earth leaving her behind. The rockets roared beneath her, and Laika, Little Barker, was the first to look down and see the whole world spinning below her, blue and gold in the velvet blackness.
There was never any plan to retrieve Laika. We could send her up, but the technology did not exist to bring her safely down. But for days, the Soviets insisted that Laika was alive and well in Sputnik 2.
In reality, she hadn’t made it nearly that long. The heat and stress killed her mere hours after launch.
But she did succeed in her mission: Laika circled the world four times before she passed. It’s impossible to know what she thought or felt in the hours she orbited above us. Her story is a triumph of human ingenuity and a testament to human cruelty. We cannot consider Laika without marveling at the universe and wondering if it was right to subject her to the fate she suffered. Did Laika, viewing the world, think it was beautiful? Did she feel alone?
Eventually, months after she passed, her ship fell from orbit and broke apart on reentry, leaving a trails of fire in the sky that stretched from New York to the Amazon.
And at last, Laika came home in a rain of wishing stars.
She was installed safely!
Children are wild my 4 yo is currently screaming bloody murder in the back of the car because I won't acknowledge that she's screaming bloody murder. Make it make sense girl
I can already smell the comments, no I am not neglecting or ignoring my child. I very calmly told her "I love you and I am here for you and when you can talk to me without yelling at me I am happy to talk about what you need. You can yell all you want to, but don't expect mommy to fight against you for your own attention"
And she is yelling "IM MAD AND I DONT KNOW WHHHHHHHYYYYY AHHHHHHHHHHH" so we're obviously just working through some stuff 🤣
screaming abruptly stops
tiny voice says "uhm mama I am done schreaming"
"Okay honey. Can you tell me what was wrong now?"
"Uhm I can't fink. I think I just need a pretzel"
honestly same girlie
Crisis Averted
one thing i am quite grateful to Brian David Gilbert for is the phrase "If you needed ME to tell you that... I'm glad I told you that."
it has been etched into my brain for the past six years, fundamentally altering how i consider knowledge gaps held by others, as well as myself. people usually need to be told stuff before they can know it! that's how knowing stuff works! this is an extreme example played for laughs but it's a legitimately helpful philosophy!!
i've been on tumblr a loooong time but i didn't ever have a fandom phase so idk what half of u are talking about sometimes
(squinting at DNI) i don't... i don't think i'm a proshipper... how do u tell?
wait you've been pointing guns at each other for ten years over which dolls you're allowed to make kiss?
there's a certain degree of discourse emerging in the notes here so i want to make it absolutely explicitly clear that i'm in my 30s and i don't care
Hey,
I’ve just turned 20 and everything has been going pretty wrong for a couple of months now and I just kind of want to hear that everything will be okay from someone else and everything won’t be awful forever.
Sorry if that’s a weird ask
Duuuuuuuude my friend my love my baby my rag time gal. Your 20s suck fucking ass dude. Like there's no way around it. According to like the internet they're supposed to be THE BEST TIME YOUVE EVER HAD but you're also supposed to be an entire ass adult?? You were a TEEN 12 months ago bestie.
When I was 20 years old, I was newly diagnosed as manic, working a job I HATED, living in New York City 700 miles away from the love of my life, blood clots in my lungs, no friends, no money, no nothing.
I'm 32 now and my life is baller.
Like don't get me wrong the world seems like it's on fire but, side bar, you know when an ancient family dog is about to pass and they get like that one week of insane energy, and you're like huh? Maybe they'll make it and then they croak? That's what's happening with white Christian nationalism right now.
Not only is life gonna get so much better, but (and I know this sounds shitty but stay with me here) you're gonna look back at this time and be like huh I'm still thankful for that time cause it got me HERE
THAT DOESNT MEAN what you're going through doesn't suck ass. That just means you gotta get through it outta spite, so you in a few years can turn around with your awesome life and flip off your 20 year old life and be like I fucking rock.
And again I will give the advice if you are STARTING TO FEEL HOPELESS ABOUT THE WORLD PUT DOWN YOUR PHONE AND GO FIND SOME HOPE IN THE WORLD 💕💕
