I must not "Need Everyone to Like Me". Need Everyone to Like Me is the mind-killer. Need Everyone to Like Me is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my Need Everyone to Like Me. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the Need Everyone to Like Me has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

the thing about the three musketeers (book) is that there are three musketeers (guys) and also a fourth dude who's always hanging out with them and is part of the friend group. yet he is not one of the three musketeers

Also for the love of God please get a new producer all your songs sound exactly the same now

whenever i'm trying to talk myself out of buying something i don't need i always hear my old russian professor's voice echoing in my head: "WHAT??? WILL YOU DIE THE RICHEST MAN IN THE GRAVEYARD?" and then i make an unwise financial decision

Frustrating thing about tumblr is its not mandatory to see timestamps on posts. If you arent using them in this day and age, youre at risk of not understanding the context of a post or that the information on it may be out of date. I dont think this will reach a wide audience but if you dont have timestamps enabled go to your general settings->dashboard settings and turn timestamps on so you can see when a post written like it’s breaking news is actually from 2017.

young artist posting your work online, heed my warning. im holding your face so gently in my hands, you have to stop caring about numbers right now and start caring about making the weirdest and most self-indulgent art you possibly can

I saw a post about tumblr user ages...

Reblogs are welcomed for that sweet, sweet increased data pool (aka getting more than 20 responses 😅)

It's hard to express how absolutely different it feels to be on the internet now than when I was a kid, mostly worse, but one huge improvement has been that you can scroll anywhere any time and will likely find an ASMR-ish video of someone in another country making a specialty dessert and they'll include all the metal lids clanking/steam and greased pans hissing/flames whooshing and then show a close-up of a beautiful desert you've never seen before with cheese and pistachio oozing out of the crust. Like not "stupid food" but saltwater taffy or knafeh. I watch the vids every time.

Once more for those in the back.

My absolute hottest take is that, from a culturally relative perspective, no food is bad. None of it. It's an expression of culture, art, history, ecology, material conditions, subjective taste. It's all inedible pap to somebody and the taste of childhood for someone else. Americans be eating cheesed burger. Pea wet is as good as gravy in Wigan. The French eat snails and the Inuit eat seal, the Germans eat sauerkraut and the Russians drink kvass, the Inca ate cavy and the Romans ate flamingo. People around the world have been eagerly awaiting their serving of simple bread or thin porridge or fermented milk product or pickled whatever-the-fuck since we learned to cook food over fire. We all love the slop we grew up eating. Food is a reflection of millennia of culture and loving human artistic expression. Attempting to extrapolate largely harmless online food banter into actual serious comparative rankings or half-baked critical analyses of cultures based on how much you subjectively don't like what they eat is a miserable way to live. Live a little. Peace and love on the only planet with food.

people on twitter will say literally anything huh
