For a second I didn’t realize it meant “high” as in a stoner--I thought “High Geologist” was like a rank of geologist or something and he was insulted you would challenge him to naming stones

[hamptercatapult]

great poast every one👍

[shirecorn]

I have drawn him.... The High Geologist

decided to look on tumblr again after 8 million years because twitter's been shitting me, saw this post, 10/10

[torinomonty]

I’ll be honest.

I miss this place. I’ve been using the site since 2010 (when it was very different) and since then, basically every day unless I was too busy, I would read my entire dashboard until I got to the last post I saw the day before. I always assumed everybody did this, because why follow people if you don’t want to see their posts? (That’s also why I tried to not follow too many blogs).

Then a few months ago I just stopped doing that. For the last three months I have barely even glanced at the site, sometimes I’ll just look at the first page of my dash but that’s about it. It’s hard to invest myself in a community that used to mean a lot to me - and not just because the majority of my mutuals are on twitter and Instagram. I like those sites a lot, but tumblr really was a good blogging system despite the bugs and puzzling decisions. There’s no character limit, it’s easy to categorise posts to find them again later. I was excited about pillowfort but that kind of failed to engage me as well (my dashboard averages 3 posts a month and I lost interest) But even writing this, now, feels like a chore. And I’m not even going to get started on the discourse and toxicity that makes me reluctant to engage with anything on here anymore - but even that seems to have been muted in the past year.

I’m far from the only one, although most people just gradually quit. For me, it does feel weird after nearly 10 years to not come here first to talk about anything exciting in my life after using this like a diary for longer than any other website (hey how about Waver being the MC of his own show now, amazing), and to continually forget to upload stuff to my site blogs that I put up elsewhere instantly. And I’m genuinely even wondering how many of my followers are actually still here.

I had a lot of anon followers who used to send me messages who I always wonder about. Are they still around? Did they also lose interest in tumblr? Are they ok? Will I ever know?

There’s not much point to this post, tbh. I have good memories here and I made some great friends who are still my friends. I just think it might finally be time for me to say goodbye, for actual realsies.

WHEN U SPOT A MISTAKE ON A DRAWING IMMEDIATELY AFTER POSTING IT

[skarchomp]

nobody on tumblr knows how to just enjoy a bad movie it always has to be some secret masterpiece that the critics just don’t understand or some other wild shit

[citizen-zero]

to be fair I don’t think anyone here knows how to enjoy anything

[felixves-deactivated20151116]

I do this thing where if i have to go to a family event where I will be expected to be a girl I pretend I am a SPY and I am IN DISGUISE AS A TEEN GIRL and my mission is to EXTRACT INFORMATION FROM MY GRANDPARENTS without giving away my real identity. works every time.

your dress and makeup is now a DISGUISE

your ‘birth name’ is now an ALIAS

getting told by your parents to be nice and not yell at anyone being racist is MISSION BRIEFING

your entire extended family are now FOREIGN DIGNITARIES and you gotta make it thru the evening without being discovered as a RADICAL SPY

carrying a small water pistol and one of those fake-lipstick pens in your purse helps to get in the zone. the best part of being a spy is the nifty gadgets everyone knows that.

BONUS if you have to bring a friend of another gender with you to pretend to be your boyfriend. you are both PARTNER SPIES and one of you has to be the cranky but soft-hearted veteran and the other has to be the endearingly-assholeish rookie.

one of the most fucked up things about the internet is how it has given us so many new ways to self harm that we don’t even realize is self harm. it’s something i’ve seen getting addressed little by little recently, as it’s finally being recognized for what it is.

it’s the kind of addictive behaviour we engage in that doesn’t actually benefit us in any way, such as:

- Reading The Comments

- ruthless discourse that won’t accomplish anything

- checking up on people and topics you shouldn’t

- 90% of body image stuff

- constant stream of devastating news

and so on, and so on!!

there are suddenly far less barriers and boundaries between our hearts and the entire rest of the constant, churning world, and sometimes the only thing holding us back from pointless hurt is our own willpower. that’s not always gonna be enough.

we feel shame for turning off anon, for blocking those who hurt us without giving them a “fair chance” first, for leaving a discussion, for leaving a space, for going offline, for missing out. we keep martyring ourselves, and for what? our hearts are not made for this.

we’re still adapting to whatever internet culture is and does to us. remember to breathe and forgive yourself every once in a while.

[bogkeep]

small steps you can take to get out of cycles (or at least what helped me):

- take stock of just how much time, energy and emotion you pour into something that doesn’t give back, and find out what’s Gotta Go

- “i’m only going to check this thing ONCE a day”, then week, then month, but at that point you probably no longer have a strong compulsion to Check

- “i’m not going to check this upsetting thing right before bed, because it will just make it hard to sleep”

- “i’m not going to check this upsetting thing first thing in the morning, because it’ll ruin my whole day”

- forgive yourself if you fail!!!!! just breathe. take a walk
