I have been waiting all year to post this.

[tumboner]

omg

[merspers]

This has been in my queue for months.

[mcgooglykins]

I missed it last year and I vowed that would NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

[thatsoundsprettynice]

YES

[xbstnmnr-deactivated20241116]

omg i didnt reblog this last year!

[theywontletmebeprincipal]

did I ever tell yall I used to think charlie chaplin was a drag king. for like three years straight

[theywontletmebeprincipal]

we watched modern times in seventh grade n I saw this shot n just took it face value that he was a twinky butch. for three years

[theywontletmebeprincipal]

I only found out he wasn’t because in tenth grade the topic of old hollywood leading ladies came up w my friends n I went “I think it’s so cool how charlie chaplin did all those drag roles. she was cute too haha” n they all looked at me like I’d said something just truly fucking insane. which for the record I had

[hms-no-fun]

no the butch you want is Dorothy Arzner, one of the only women directors from the silent era to continue directing after the transition to sound

she directed a multitude of films about atypical domestic relationships and has two entries in the criterion collection. you should absolutely read about her life, because wow. fascinating figure

"what if you regret it" what if I don't?

[trekturtle]

I understand your point, however this maybe wasn't the best post to cross my dash while I'm fighting the temptation to text my ex.

[noodles-07]

this is about transitioning DO NOT TEXT YOUR EX ITS NOT WORTH IT DONT DO IT

[zedogica]

I wish there was a switch that turned off ao3 when the users on this website need to be punished

LMFAOOOOOO

[cerubiaid]

also don't even start me on how fucking manipulative the marketing is for shapes inc

the main topic for HALF of their ads is "this will make you less lonely"

i used ai for about 2-3 years of my life and i am here to tell you it will make your life worse

any time you could spend potentially making friends will be filled in by that and having real human peers is way more fulfilling

services like character.ai are DESIGNED to be hooking, and having what is functionally a sycophant at your beck and call isn't healthy. especially since this sycophant has no capability to feel or care about you

i have been lonely before and i get it i absolutely do that shit sucks so bad but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD don't turn to ai you will feel WORSE

any marketing that tells you youll feel less lonely is WRONG

this got more people liking it than i expected (i didn't think anyone would like it)

i want to make clear now in light of what happened to someone else who was talking against shapes inc

i do not endorse harrassment or wish to harrass anyone at shapes inc. i hate their service, but this does not equate to me wishing harm. i'm not wishing to target anybody specific or anyone using it.

also don't talk shit about the specific people at shapes or do anything assholish or be vulgar on my page please. do it in your own time

[inthetags]

in the age of smartphones, reblog and put in the tags whose phone numbers you still know (don’t say the actual # though lol just who the person is)

Fun little math trick I find really helpful: the ratio of a mile to a kilometer is within 1% of the Golden Ratio. That means that if you have a good memory for Fibonacci numbers (1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89) you can convert pretty accurately by taking consecutive Fibonacci numbers.

For example, 89 kilometers is really close to 55 miles (55.3). Or, say you need to convert 26 miles to kilometers: 26 can be written as 21 plus 5, so taking the next Fibonacci number up gives 34 and 8, meaning it should be around 42 kilometers. Sure enough, it's 41.8 km!

[tamberoo]

i need several moments, math like this scares me

[abalidoth]

Not gonna lie, as much as I want to be helpful and comprehensible, I am very proud of provoking that reaction image.

FOR PARENTS OF YOUNG KIDS IN THE US!

Someone over on bluesky posted this and I figured I'd better repost it here. It's the pre-RFK 2025 vaccination schedule for babies and young children, ya know, just in case it mysteriously disappears. Save this and give it to your child's pediatrician; tell them this is the schedule you want your child on.

[splendentgoddess]

Got a hold of the older children/teen and adult versions of this chart. Vaccines for everyone!

[leebrontide]

You all may be sick of me banging on this drum but I got whooping cough in my mid/late 20s because I had no idea I needed an adult booster and I coughed so hard I broke my rib. And guess what? Then I got to keep coughing that hard, but now with a broken rib.

Please get your boosters.

The moment I saw these double doors in our apartment, I knew I wanted to put colorful foil on them:

Today my wife did it, and I couldn't be more stunned and happy:

Isn't it amazing? This is a dream come true, and it makes me so happy! 🩵🧡💚💛💙❤️🩷

[purlturtle]

The doors continue to delight:

(pics taken as the sun shines through the doors, making all the colors shine and projecting some of them across the hallway floor) (edited this reblog to add a second pic)

[purlturtle]

This post is almost at 11,111 notes and I hope someone screenshots it when it happens!

[rathenarts]

@purlturtle here you are I got it for you!

[purlturtle]

what if I told you that I am RIVETED to my notifications at the moment, for fear that I will miss it

The galaxy map of this post's reblogs is a thing of beauty:

This isn't a post from a big blog that a ton of people reblogged from that one big blog. This isn't even a post that got big because one big blog reblogged it. Yes, there were a few big-name boosts, but almost all of these reblogs are just, this post ambling through Tumblr making people happy.

And that makes *me* happy. Thank you, fellow Tumblrinas!

[purlturtle]

Y'all.

My wife found this incredible rug to go into the living room, that matches the doors so so so well!

Isn't it fabulous?

(ID: wide angle shot of a living room with a rug in the center that is 5x8 panels of different colored squares)

it’s a great time to be a hater, many things are bad and lots of stuff sucks. it’s also a terrible time to be a hater, because many people will insist that you have to like the bad thing because a company spent millions of dollars making it and it’s just not very nice to say it’s bad

[carbonatedgatorade]

hating is ultimately a philosophy of optimism. the knowledge that things could be better, and the desire to see them improve, differentiates it from the pessimism of idle consumption.

[earthdad]

ok but give me one good reason why you wouldn’t date Kermit the frog besides that he is a puppet and a frog

“miss piggy would make it look like an accident”

[unfavorableinstigation]

This keeps going past on my dash and I can’t let it go any longer. It’s time to see the record straight.

Miss Piggy doesn’t have a subtle bone in her floppy felt body. There is no possible way she could ever make it look like an accident.

Miss Piggy would make you into an example.
