It’s extremely fucked up that some ppl try to make you feel stupid and immature for hoping for a better world. You say you want world peace and mfs think you need a pacifier; dawg, I just don’t want ppl dying from violence. This idea that ppl simply must die as casualties of war is misanthropic to say the least.
i would like to officially thank sesame for its seeds, its oil, and of course its street
it’s quick, it’s easy and it’s free: pouring river water in your socks
why would i do that lmao
it’s quick, it’s easy and it’s free
got told at lunch "you feel like Tumblr Incarnate" and i had to tell them i've been here for 13 years and counting. i was here three years before dashcon happened. i saw the mishapocalypse. i survived the gigapause. i've been here longer than the shoelaces post. i've been here since it was hipsters versus fandom and i played both sides extensively by overdoing the sepia filters on everything and making my own flashing galaxy gif edits for my fandom posts. i'm every tumblr. it's all in me
Oh ancient one what wisdom do you hold?
99% of callout posts are bullshit and just petty personal drama someone is escalating to get even on a grudge. do not engage with these, do not freelance as a cop
DNIs do not work. accept this. internalize that people you don't like will see your posts and engage with them. this is unavoidable and the sooner you make peace with it the freer your mind will be. block the freaks and don't sweat the small stuff
building a tight knit circle of fellow weirdos who vibe with your particular quirks and taste is infinitely more rewarding and sustainable than chasing the biggest numbers
don't respond to bad-faith arguments or bad takes; just block people, blacklist tags, filter post content, and move on. don't feed the trolls (or the bigots)
don't hate-follow
don't tag your hate (ex. if you're posting about how much you hate a ship, don't tag it as that ship, etc.)
don't feel obligated to keep following someone who posts stuff that upsets/depresses/angers/bores you just because you know them really well, or because you're mutuals, or because you used to like what they post. following is nothing personal and neither is unfollowing
op doesn't know you; avoid parasocial relationships
don't pick fights or reblog posts just to disagree/argue
spread joy and positivity in your circles
disable anonymous asks
People who recycle and put their trash in their pocket until they find a trash can and people who pick up liter when they see it and people who still cut the six-pack rings so animals don’t get trapped or choke on them and people who move turtles out of the road and people who stop for ducks and geese to cross all have a very special place in my heart. You are so good to this world and earth. I hope you know that.
YOURE 30???????
yeah I mean i've been posting on tumblr since 2011, I'm part of the geriatric tumblrinas

Deprecating New XKit
Hi all, it's been a while!
tl;dr: You should use XKit Rewritten, it's new, shiny, and getting consistent updates. Get it from here: https://addons.tumblr.com/post/661324873572974592/xkit-rewritten. If you want to customize the appearance of Tumblr you should use the built-in settings or Palettes for Tumblr. You shouldn't rely on New XKit, it's old and busted.
Around four years ago, April, a core contributor to New XKit, started the XKit Rewritten and wider @addons projects to create a modern alternative to the already somewhat moldy New XKit. This was with our complete support, and many members of the New XKit team now also help out with XKit Rewritten and other addons.
Chrome and Firefox have both phased out support for older extensions, requiring challenging workarounds to install New XKit. It's become very clear that anyone who is still using New XKit would really have a better time using XKit Rewritten, Palettes and Outbox for Tumblr, and the couple XKit-inspired core Tumblr features.
If you continue to use New XKit for some key part of your Tumblr workflow be warned that it's past the end of its digital lifespan. Despite the name, New XKit is a crumbling old cathedral. You can still walk around in it if you really want to, but it has been fenced off for safety and a brick might fall on your head.
One key difference we'd like to highlight is that XKit Rewritten intentionally doesn't have a Blacklist feature, leaving it to Tumblr's native post filtering functionality. If you still need the specific functionality of New XKit's Blacklist, you can keep it installed alongside XKit Rewritten. Click here for a list of other frequently asked questions.
To summarize: Get XKit Rewritten here: https://addons.tumblr.com/post/661324873572974592/xkit-rewritten. It's like New XKit but designed for modern Tumblr and consistently updated. New XKit will still be around for anyone who really needs it but is a much buggier experience.
Thank you all very much for using New XKit! On behalf of the whole team it's been a great time with all of you here on [tumblr].
dear usamerican high schoolers looking for a way to resist fascism: sit through the pledge of allegiance.
no getting up. no looking at the flag.
everyone will be looking at you. you'll be sweating like a fucking hippopotamus. your teacher will sternly tell you to get up. you'll feel stupid and that maybe its not worth it because you're just a kid in a classroom. but I'm here to remind you that there are no real life consequences to detention. there are however real life consequences to resisting a thoughtless performance of nationalism.
If you are punished in any way for sitting through the pledge, please contact the American Humanist Association for legal aid.
Your teachers and schools are legally forbidden from punishing you for exercising your right to refuse this ritual.
Wait this is something that is still being done today? As in 2025???
Oh yeah, absolutely. Even as an adult, I'm "expected" to participate in the pledge when I'm working in schools (though of course I refuse to do so, and boy have I caused some problems with that).
The most recent pledge I personally saw was just in April of 2025, and I'd've seen more if I worked more closely with students.
i love my ocs so much..... there r little guys inside my head. and they are Everything 2 me. aoouuhhh
i like my art bc it's true to all i am, it's my temporary but whole emotional truth and a captured moment that's undeniable, it's abstraction turned physical, given shape, it is proof i was there and felt something. this is what art should be for everyone, we should all feel comfortable enough with ourselves to find joy in these markers of truth, ability, emotion, thought and presence that lie in our creations because *we* made them.
whenever i feel bad about my art i feel bad because i already know *this* is all i am and there is something fundamentally wrong with it, because i can never escape who i am. there is shame in the process, uncomfortable awarness of vulnerability that skill is often used to hide, but it is always there for the creator unless art is looked at as something showing a temporary state of a human being and not something made to be solely judged by perceived "quality". there's nothing wrong with letting yourself be a "temporary truth" because each next creation will carry its own essence. the fact that it is yours should feel warm because it is literally a part of you, but for a lot of people, and for me often as well, it just carries shame, worry, a feeling like the issue is "us" and that we "made" a broken thing, and we fear doing so again. our own work starts feeling alien to us.
but i try to think of it as just temporary truth, temporary essence and why worry about something that was true to you during a period of time. you captured it. you will capture endless different truths again and find solace in knowing you're looking at something that solely exists because of you. your art will always change with you
i'm sorry if this sounds silly to people but I genuinely think self-compassion and sincerity is necessary for any artist no matter what they draw. only through that acceptance of what was done before and unburdened curiosity can anyone move forward especially skill-wise

How to put “wrote fan-fiction” on your résumé:
Leveraged an inventory of established fictional character and setting elements to generate a disruptive custom-curated narrative entertainment asset.
I worked in HR, handling applications and interviews, and if someone turned in that string of techno babble nonsense, I would have rejected them out of hand.
A resume doesn’t need to sound fancy or overly technical, it needs to tell us why we should hire you.
“Independent novelist/writer” is more than sufficient here. If you want to express the skills that fan fiction taught you, something like, “creative writing, editing, and publication,” will get you a lot further than… Whatever that just was.
A resume should be tailored to the position, if you can afford the time and energy for that. But if not, then just think about what writing got fandom taught you. How to respond to criticism, how to present a professional pubic face, how to correct punished mistakes, creative thinking, project planning, persuasion via emotional leverage, html formatting, office suite fluency.
There are a lot of actual, marketable skills that go into fan fiction.

This is so good! The only thing I would add is, avoid passive voice and “can/able to” constructions in your bullet points. If you did the thing and are putting it on your resume as a reason to hire you, it’s safe to assume you can do the thing. What you want to show is that you’ve DONE the thing successfully, within limitations, or above and beyond expectations. Example:
“Able to keep layout design simple and in accordance with the project director’s chosen theme” could be changed to “Designed layouts in accordance with the project director’s specifications and chosen theme”.
Your bullet points should start with a verb whenever possible. Created, Managed, Organized, Edited, Designed, etc. It’s also a good idea to make the tense and person of your bullet points match as much as possible.
Have bullet points that are about meeting money goals, reducing costs, or solving problems? Put those at the very top!
Lastly, unless your resume is short and you’re looking for things to add (which is fine! we’ve all been there) I would recommend looking at each individual position you’ve listed and picking out the top 3-5 skills or triumphs for that position that are different from those demonstrated in other positions. They might build on each other, but ideally they should not be the exact same.
Hello zine friends, fan artists, and fic writers —don’t forget that you can add your fanwork accomplishments to your resume, CV, or portfolio! You worked hard and deserve to give your pieces the credit and notoriety they deserve in your professional life as well as your personal.
I just want to say that I am so, so proud of everyone for participating in things like zines, anthologies, among other fan collections (collaborative or single player) because it’s so lovely to see what you can create when you are passionate and excited!!!
