reason #1 why I'm already obsessed with 1899:

PSA: PLEASE MASK AGAIN.

If you stopped masking, it’s time to start again, today. I’m not asking you to stay home, just to mask as well as possible, and do hand hygiene.

In multiple communities all over the USA and Canada, every pediatric hospital bed is full, mostly with babies and toddlers who have severe respiratory infections. It seems to be a combination of flu, RSV and COVID, sometimes more than one at a time in the same child.

We can sort out why this happened later. Right now, there’s an emergency that should be front page news, and isn’t, and the best way to stop it is to reduce the circulation of all respiratory viruses in our communities by masking everyone who can mask, before babies start dying because there isn’t enough care to go around.

Get your current flu shot and bivalent COVID booster if you haven’t already, but also please mask now.

Please do it for the babies! Nov 15, 2022.

I'm immunosuppressed so please mask, for me and all the other immunocompromised people who would like to be able to have halfway normal social lives again in this decade.

good things to pay attention to more often

the color of trees

clouds and how they look different throughout the day

the different colors the mornings can have. sometimes it's an orange hue and sometimes pink and sometimes it's too misty to tell

pretty color schemes in random places (the trees and your neighbors wooden patio and the color of their car)

the states of the vehicles passing you by, dents and scratches and the different trinkets suspended from their rearview mirrors

the sound of silence

the shadows the lights cast in your home, like how sunset looks different than sunrise, and the shadows the sun casts look different than those of your lamps and candles

pretty details in buildings and houses like certain types of windows or doorknobs or archways

the movement of things in the wind. flags, leaves, flowers, people's hair and coats

(more, because you guys left the best ones in the tags:)

the golden outline people and animals get in the sunlight

the speed that the clouds move with

the expression of cars (you can tell by looking at the headlights!?)

water droplets racing on the windows of a moving vehicle

birdsong and how many different ones there are

flocks of birds

the way people interact in public, what things they’re carrying, what they’re looking at (the sky, their food, each other)

things that stick out really obviously like a bright yellow car or an abnormally tall tree branch or a single light left on in an office building

reflections in bodies of water and windows and cars. as if the world is twice as big and beautiful.

the gradient of the sky when there’s little to no clouds

the direction, speed and temperature of the wind. how it feels on your skin and how it tugs at tree branches!

all the different textures of the walls you encounter (trace your fingers over the bumpy ones, look for faces or familiar shapes)

how far light reaches. and how it sometimes seems to dance with the shadow

people’s soft reactions to whatever is happening around them. small smiles, wide eyes, suppressed laughter, or even pure confusion

everything that’s alive. that there’s no definitive, general answer to how you can visually tell that everything around you lives, just that it does.

Don't be ridiculous. Our backs and knees absolutely cannot do that.

Okay, Tumblr, I heard about this whole Goncharov thing on Twitter and had to come check it out and it is mostly delightful but my biggest question is what is the story of the original shoe?? Has that been investigated?? Why does this shoe label exist?! I want to know the real story because there are so many wild details like the license plate number name, and also, you know, the fact that the movie does not exist and yet it is on a label on a shoe. Why a shoe?? I need to know!

Why did I ever leave this site?! It's hilarious!

I don’t want to be told, ‘You’re going to be brilliant!’. I want to be told that it’s ok if I’m not.

I don’t want to be told, ‘There’s nothing to worry about!’. I want to be told that it might be scary, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth doing.

I don’t want to be told, ‘You won’t make a mistake!’. I want to be told that it’s ok to make mistakes, because it shows you are learning, and because you can always try again.

I don’t want to be told, ‘I’m sure you’ll pick it up quickly!’. I want to be told that how quickly you learn something and whether you learn it at all isn’t a part of your personality, and doesn’t reflect on your worth as a human being.

I don’t want to be told, ‘Everybody’s in the same boat!’ I want to be told that even if I struggle with things they don’t, my learning process is just as important as theirs, and I am just as deserving of help.

You don’t know why somebody is nervous. You don’t know their history with this particular struggle or environment. You don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. Telling someone ‘You’ll be great!’ isn’t the reassurance you think it is.

If you want to encourage learning and growth, you need to establish that it’s safe to fail.

I haven't been on this site regularly in like 10 years but since the bird site might be dying I was like welp, let's check out what's happening on tumblr, I used to really enjoy it and somehow Misha Collins is #3 trending on here IN THE YEAR 2022
