i dont "use" tumblr im just here

your bare minimum isn’t actually that bare or minimum. my dad once told me that there’s nothing in this world that’s easy and that’s true tbh. everything we do takes energy, time, and effort. even the little things. if you feel like you’re not doing enough please try to think about your circumstances and what’s currently available to you: chances are, there’s something that’s diverting or otherwise draining you. and to pull away from that and get something done regardless? well, i think that’s really admirable! please try to take pride in the things you do accomplish in a day, no matter how small or trifling you perceive them to be. you can’t be proud of your growth if you don’t notice where you already are!

[ramdaughter]

no offense but this conversation was literally a major turning point in my life

the difference is when you see a stupid take on tumblr it’s usually from either a 14 year old or some 30 something year old shut-in. when you see a stupid take on twitter it’s always like the governor of california or something

my favourite genre of tumblr posts? well,

hellsite (affectionate)

[windewehn]

while i appreciate the general response nobody has yet really understood why i like these kind of posts so much. It's not even necessarily what they are saying in detail what's interesting to me - more the fact that they exist and that they are popular.

Like I have yet to see another social media where one of the main genre of posts is about the nature of the site itself.

Like, imagine a bunch of people on insta just posting things like:

"haha instagram ruined my picture quality again haha you get this nowhere else this is so special i love it here #hellsite "

it just doesn't happen. it's such a tumblr specific experience to connect through the sole fact that we are all using the same website and making funny little posts about it. you don't get this anywhere else.

Like, imagine a

bunch of people on insta

just posting things like:

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

what he says: i'm fine.

what he means: Dear Jonas,

By the time you read this everything will have happened, irrevocably. It can no longer be changed. I would have liked to explain things to you sooner, but I hope once you understand how everything is connected, you will understand my decision. The truth is a strange thing. You can try to suppress it, but it will always find its way back to the surface. We make a lie into our truth in order to survive. We try to forget, until we can't anymore. We don't know even half of the mysteries of this world. We are wanderers in the darkness.

This is my truth.

On November 4, 2019, I traveled through time to the year 1986. The boy from the future stayed. And in time he became a man. Mikkel became Michael, who never knew where he belonged. By the time you read this I'll already be gone. Both as a boy and as a man. I hope you can forgive me. Everything is connected.

Mikkel / Michael

seriously I had some little TikTok teenybopper burst out laughing on my tour because I said that a historical figure was “most likely what we’d now call gay”

like

listen

you’re free to take a ouija board out to the cemetery and try to explain the dizzying array of current queer terms and get a solid answer as to how he identifies within that framework but 

until then, I’m going to continue NOT definitively assigning someone identity terms they didn’t self-identify with, and might not have even known, when I’m responsible for representing them faithfully and they’re not here to correct me. even more so when they’re part of my own community

I mean, you know, as long as that’s okay with you. Bestie.

#did MODERN historians really say they were just friends? or did modern historians not use precisely the labels you’re accustomed to#and you got in a snit about it?

[winterfellmadeoutofsnow]

why would you leave this in the tags??

[screeching-painter-witch]

[ID: tags that read: “#time traveler: so now that i’ve explained our current understanding of sexuality would you say you identify more as lesbian or bi? #sappho: we went to the moon? #time traveler: yeah but remember what i told you about the gender binary? can we talk about- #sappho: the moon in the fucking sky?” end ID.]

Considering that the liver is larger than the heart, we’re designed to drink more and care less

it would take 2.3 million years for Jeff Bezos to earn his $183.3b net worth working 24 hours a day at New Mexico’s $9/hr minimum wage.

[i-wear-the-cheese]

That’s 11.5 times longer than the human race has existed.

[splend-42]

Not long enough.

What if we gave it a twist? Rather than earning that amount of money, what if it was to save that amount while still paying bills and feeding himself?
