starting tomorrow i will be a real person in this world

oh! i forgot to do this. okay starting tomorrow i will be a real person in this world and i actually seriously genuinely properly truly mean it this time

now that’s what i call ineffective tumblr discourse! featuring such hits as “why aren’t you talking about this thing you didn’t know about”, “this 3-hour-old post has 20k notes instead of 100k clearly you’re all willfully ignoring it”, “if you don’t reblog this you’re a bad person”, & more manipulative bullshit that only exists to make the person saying it feel holier than thou!

“if you can’t reblog this unfollow me” 0/10, no creativity

“[x people] MUST reblog this” 2/10 I was already going to until you said that

“if you can’t reblog this we can’t be mutuals” 5/10 kinda funny because the person who added that is usually a complete rando. Still probably unfollowing whoever put this on my dash though

“you can reblog this actually” 1/10 no shit, sherlock. Did adding that to the post make you feel good, or something???

“people who like this post but don’t reblog it are all hypocrites looking for woke points” 8/10 extra points for creativity and for actually riling me up. That’s really not how tumblr likes work btw

“look, you’re not obligated to reblog this if you really don’t want to, but think hard about WHY it is you don’t want to” -10000/10 I don’t want to SOLELY because you said that. You ruined a perfectly good post is what you did. Look at it. It’s anxiety-inducing

“I don’t care if this doesn’t fit your blog ~aesthetic~” yeah my blog aesthetic is not sending my followers into panic/guilt spirals about things they can’t do anything to change or help

^^^ THATS THE ONE

the ratratrat post was cutting into this one and i was fully willing to accept this was just how it was

Why does your Tumblr look like you live in a 90s hacker movie

oh thats because i do. help

Oh she thinks she’s the plusherrrrr

AAAAAAH HOW DID SHE DO THAT

fuck it homebrew boop button. reblog this post to boop the person you reblogged from.

First you procrastinate on the task because it is not a big enough deal to get done urgently. Then you procrastinate on the task because it has become such a big deal that doing it is overwhelming. You would think that this implies a middle point where it is just big enough of a deal to get done easily, however the inherent perversity of the universe's causal geometry prevents this

yeah “i can teach you” is kind and gentle and warm and comforting. it’s also hot. right

"Growing Around Grief"

Lois Tonkin, 1996

This is the most important thing I’ve learned about grieving. It never goes away. Time doesn’t make it smaller. Time, if you do the work, makes you bigger. Self expansion is key. Self expansion through creativity and passion and communication. My grief used to be all of me. Now it is a part of me. An important part, but just a part. I love this visualization so much.

if you dont want print media to die, buy physical copies of things. if you don’t want independent journalism to die, subscribe to a local newspaper. if you want more libraries and skate-parks and arcades, get a bunch of friends and call in the individual charge of your village or town or whatever and ask for one to be built and use the existing ones. if you want more native flora and fauna, start looking at the ones that already exist and how to preserve them. this is your world too. fight for it. get rid of the rot of passivity.

Gluten is so cheap that it costs negative money. If you take a loaf of regular bread and take out the gluten, the bread is suddenly way more expensive than it was before.
