I think it's indicative of how much more chill tumblr used to be before the twitter influx that I've been called a "white supremacist" twice in the past six months on here.

First, for the crime of saying I thought Oppenheimer was a good film.

Second, because I joked that the worst thing about the TikTok ban was that all the Tiktok people would start coming here, whereby someone accused me of racism because TikTok has a higher proportion of black and latin american people using it than other forms of social media (something that I didn't even know).

Pal, I am one of those "Latin Americans." Shut yer trap and go and talk to some people in real life.

Preparations for making pysankas is always a fun part of the process.

The fastest way to shut down my "freelance life means I have to constantly be working" thoughts is to remind myself that if I was a boss holding a worker to the standards I hold myself to, their union would hunt me for sport and nobody would blame them.

still reading frankenstein and i completely forgot that theres a part where victors wrapping up doing devious deeds on a sparsely inhabited island off the shore of england and he loads all his mad scientist shit into a rowboat and pushes off into the water and then fucking falls asleep with no navigational tools and when he wakes up hes like, adrift with no land in sight and hes like ‘FUCK my creation!!!!!’ even though the monster had absolutely nothing to do with getting him lost in the middle of the fucking english channel and he starts lamenting about how hes going to die and his family is never going to see him again and hes going to go to davey jones locker or whatever because hes been without potable water in a rowboat for like 4 hours and then he sees land and hes like ‘oh thank god im saved!!!’ and he gets to shore and is met with an angry mob who thinks he murdered someone and hes like ‘but where is english hospitality?????’ and theyre like ‘this is ireland you dumb slut’ and as theyre marching him to the magistrate hes like ‘i was still thirsty but did not want to show my weakness……’ like could you even imagine

many of you will be eaten by birds before you can even fly to new lands, but that's a sacrifice I am willing to make.

fandom tumblr was another casualty of streaming services. we used to be on here posting about the episodes that were coming out weekly and posting gifs and writing insane shit about the tv shows we liked. now a new season of a show will drop and we’ll talk about it for a week. two weeks tops. and then that show will leave collectively conscious for 1+ year till the next season drops. there’s a reason succession sundays was a blast on here

we used to have real television
