Signs your romance subplot has absolutely no tension (sry)
♡ they meet and immediately like each other (goodbye conflict, we barely knew you)
♡ the only thing keeping them apart is a misunderstanding that one conversation would fix
♡ both characters describe the other as "beautiful" within three pages of meeting
♡ their chemistry is told not shown (the narrator insists they have spark. they don't.)
♡ the love interest has no personality outside of loving the protagonist
♡ they argue once, make up immediately, never argue again
♡ obstacles are external. they always agree with each other about everything.
♡ the rival love interest exists for two chapters then vanishes without explanation
♡ they almost kiss. something interrupts. this happens four times. on the fifth time they kiss. the end.
♡ the love interest is described as funny, clever, and kind. we see none of this.
♡ their big emotional moment is in the rain. it is always in the rain.
♡ the breakup lasts exactly one chapter before they reconcile
♡ "i've never felt this way before" said by someone with no prior emotional history
♡ both confess feelings at the same time. no awkwardness. no stakes. just synchronized emotion.
♡ their first kiss is perfect. no bumped noses. no wrong angle. cinematic and frictionless.
♡ jealousy subplot introduced and dropped without consequence
♡ they have one shared interest and it is the plot
♡ trauma bonding mistaken for romantic chemistry (these are different things)
♡ the side characters ship them loudly. this is not a substitute for actual tension.
♡ one of them dies temporarily. other is devastated. they come back. no lasting emotional damage.
♡ they end up together because the plot ends, not because they chose each other
♡ epilogue: married with children. every loose end tied. nothing left to feel.
I dont get paid until monday the 15th and I currently have -15 dollars in my bank account. I hate doing this because I know some people need the help so much more but if anyone is able to help out at least a little id be greatly appreciative. I at least need money for gas to keep getting to work next week

pride month!!!
Is that a miette?
Pride for you! Pride for a thousand years!!
you COME OUT to miette? you come out to her as queer? oh! oh! pride for mother! pride for mother for One Thousand Years!!!!
When my mother forgets a word, she is the queen of coming up with new words. Words that would take a third National Treasure movie to fully decipher. I was talking to her yesterday, and she said this: “You know the time for los jibbities is coming up. You must be so excited!” Oh, is it time for los jibbities already? I must have missed it on my calendar. Are we celebrating something? “Of course! We should all be celebrating, shouldn’t we?” OK, so los jibbities is a happy thing. It’s not like something is giving you the heebie-jeebies, which would have been my one and only guess. “Los heebie-jeebies? Now you’re making things up...and this is my show.” You’re right. The time for los jibbities is coming up. Is this a season? “Yes, the season for love. The season for pride.” OK, los jibbities. “Yeah, sound it out.” Los…jibbities. LGBTs! “Sí, mira cuz you’re gay!” “You couldn’t just say pride season? You couldn’t just… *laughs*
HAPPY LOS JIBBITIES EVERYBODY!!!
The time for Los Jibbities has arrived!
My grandma just called and, among other things, said “You have hips. That’s good! Men like hips!” and then she interrupted herself to say “Women like hips. People of your preferred gender like hips. I can never remember” And I was like “Thanks grandma! My preferred gender is none of them, no thanks.” and she was like “Okay, no one will comment on your hips!” very self satisfied, like “aha, I have figured it out” I think like half her grandkids are some variety of not-straight and she can’t always remember which is which but she is the epitome of like “she’s a little confused, but she’s got the spirit!”
Update: I gave it some thought and my estimate was wrong. Of the grandkids that are out, it’s 1/3, not ½
I told my grandma that I’d told my friends about what she said and that some of y’all had said you wished she was your grandma, and she said “Well, you can never have too many grandkids!” So like…consider her your honorary grandma* I guess? *if you want an honorary grandma, that is
Update on my grandma: I told her my hair was standing up, but instead of straight line it was diagonal and she said “That’s okay, you’ve never been straight!” and then laughed so hard at her own joke I thought she was going to drop the phone
Happy almost pride month! Have my confused-but-supportive grandma!
An update: my grandma just called me to ask if I knew it was pride month
Happy pride month!!

As I am currently working in the antique/vintage "industry" an annoying fact has come to my attention...some sellers think antique and vintage are interchangeable words.
Firstly, though only tangentially relevant, their textbook definitions refer to specific things: antique is used to describe the age of furniture and domestic items, while vintage specifically refers to the age of wine.
But for those of you shopping for old books, home decor, clothes, toys, etc., here are some glossary terms so you can discern whether a seller is informed, clueless, or just plain old lying.
Antique
At least one hundred years old, or close enough. The copy of Anne of Green Gables pictured above was published in 1935, making it nine years shy of being a "true" antique but to the savvy collector it still passes.
Vintage
At least twenty years old, and rarely any younger than that—if it wasn't at least twenty years ago, the nostalgia for it likely hasn't kicked in and it's probably still in circulation. The sewing magazines pictured above range from the 1960s to 1970s.
Vintage "Style"
A brand new item that either reproduces or mimicks an old-fashioned appearance. This is a fair business practice as long as the seller is open about the fact that their product is brand new. Two of the tins pictured above are recent* reproductions of discontinued product containers. The one is the center is a legitimate antique.
Antiqued (verb)
Similar to "vintage style" but with more effort in that an item has been made to look very old, rugged, and weathered, often including faked patina or purposely faded coloring. The above photo is of a 1970s decorative wall spoon that was painted to look a hundred years older—antique styles were a huge influence in the '70s.
Retro/Retro Style
Not a reliable indicator of age, but of current nostalgia. If you see this on a product it is likely referring to something unique to its time period, especially short-lived things like toys, jewelry, clothes, and graphic design styles. Currently this word is used heavily on items in the 1980s–2000s range, but also iconic 1950s–1960s styles. The fast food toys picture above are from the late '90s to early '00s.
Other Labels
"Victorian" frequently, and inaccurately, used to label anything pre‐1940s and post-Medieval, rendering it absolutely meaningless in most cases.
"Y2K" gets tagged on anything from 1990 to 2009. This is inaccurate as y2K is literally in the name, "year 2000." Should only refer to the futuristic pop styles unique to 1999–2001.
"MCM" and "mid century" have also lost meaning. Both are derived from a specific late 1940s–1960s furniture and interior design style known as mid century modern, but are frequently misused to describe any item or style ranging from the 1930s–1980s.
"Art deco/nouveau" these are just style names, not indicators of age. Both styles have also had multiple comebacks, so be aware of that if you are looking for genuine antiques.
"Is any of this writing related?" Sure, if you want it to be. I just wanted to talk about words and history, and hopefully help some folk not get ripped off online. Also, don't blindly trust sellers just because you trust the site. Even sites with good reputations can't weed out every phony.
Entire post dedicated to the lady selling Smurf toys from 1980 as "antiques."
Thanks for reading!

*If you consider the '90s "recent."
All photos were taken by me.
If anyone's wondering, the literal definition of "Victorian" is something produced between 1836 and 1901, the years of Queen Victoria's reign. There is no such thing as "Victorian-style," in terms of actual antique items, because many different styles in various different areas were popular during the Victorian period. "Victorian revival" is a legitimate term, though, referring to a style popular during the 1960s – 1980s and maybe a bit into the 1990s

pretty sure I did the chrome//flags thing a while ago, but also i switched to firefox, which is not without the occasional bullshit, but is vastly less bullshitty than chrome. This is why I treat genai "features" like the invasive blackberry bushes they are: cut, root, burn, and vigilantly watch for new shoots to uproot. I'm 54 years old and the world got by fine without genai for most of my lifetime.

An update for users in Brazil and the United Kingdom
To continue our commitment to user safety and to comply with local laws, we will start using age groups to determine access to certain experiences.
People in Brazil or in the UK, who are 18 or older, will soon need to verify their age to change content label settings and view mature-labeled content. Until then, the settings will be locked to hide.
As a reminder, verification is handled by our age-assurance partner, k-ID. Tumblr won't have access to the information you submit, just the final age-verification result. Documents are deleted after confirmation, and facial scan data never leaves your device.
Questions? Contact Tumblr support or learn more about these changes here.
