Okay but for real, please download Merlin, the Cornell-based bird-logging app. It is so great. It will tell you about birds in your area. It will make you so insufferable on hikes and outings. It doesn't have any comments section so if this site gets nuked do NOT try to find me there but know that that's where I'm hanging. Having a great time birdwatching. Logging the bluejay that bullies my cats. Helping researchers track where birds are for climate change-related population monitoring. 10/10, highly recommend getting a life and doing some silly birdwatching.
It always makes me sad whenever stories with hopeful messages or lighthearted moments are sometimes dismissed as unintelligent or weaker than tragedies. Isn't joy and hope what makes a dark journey worthwhile? Not every story needs an unhappy ending to serve as a lesson.
I will forever be a fan of stories that say hey, maybe the world is a rough place, and it will always be this way, but you can make a difference with the people who matter to you. Even if no one else will know, even if no one else will remember, the ones you loved, and who loved you in return, will remember. People who are holding onto you, even at the end of everything else. People who remind you that new beginnings are born from the ashes.
My favorite stories will always end with love, hope, and the sun rising on the horizon after hell and high waters. The world can be so cruel, but we can choose not to be as individuals. Joy is as human as anger and sorrow. Joy is what we reach for when we are at our lowest, whether we realize it or not. We want what was lost back. I love stories where the characters reach the light at the end of the tunnel, emerge on the other side, and are allowed to heal. Even if they’ve done bad things, even if they aren’t perfect, isn’t that true of all of us?
I just wanted to say thank you for fighting for Paper Girls - it means a lot to see that this show matters to other people as much as it does to me. I hope you know that we’re all thinking of you!
I can’t not fight for it. Every single time I think of how much love and work went into it—how Prime fought off a ton of other services for the IP, just to hobble it before release—how these kids KILLED their performances, only to be unceremoniously dumped not two months after dropping…flames. Flames on the side of my face. It’s the most underdog of underdog fandoms I’ve ever been a part of, and it feels rough as hell out here, but I genuinely can’t let it go.
still insane to me what elon decided to do with twitter check marks like he claims they give an algorithmic advantage now and that's so funny to me whyyy do you think verified users were previously getting engagements??? it's because they were verified BECAUSE they were already well known (meaning celebrities influencers and politicians) all people that would already have heavy engagement even if they weren't verified putting it behind a paywall is unimportant to most regular people because the only time people would get excited over being verified is if they were some microcelebritiy who considered it a milestone
ppl will see you calling gerard ‘babygirl’ and think you’re one of the freaks who legititimately only refers to him as ‘she/her’......i think the bird app might be messing with your reading comprehension for real
the amount of media illiterate iwtv takes these eyes had to read in the span of six months… i wish sam reid could bonk their heads with his copy of the vampire lestat to transfer his expertise
I’m currently struggling through the Chimera Ant Arc (the internet promised me it would end on ep 132 but we’re at 135 and STILL GOING, I’ve been suffering since ep 75 or something HELP T___T) and man do I have some opinions XD
Very briefly, my primary gripe is about how a certain character is predictably mischaracterized by the fandom (to the point where those not in the fandom -- like me, formerly -- have heard all about supposed transgressions), whereas another character never gets brought up when that particular subject is discussed despite things actually happening. in canon. But she’s not a dude so it’s all good, right? X_X
Also the usual Dumbledore/Hiruzen/Eraqus complaint, as well as the killing off antagonists just when they had started to grow/learn/etc. complaint, but honestly I’m more surprised when a fictional work doesn’t include them lmao
Maybe when I have some time that I’m not spending drawing or gaming, I’ll type up an actual thoughts/impressions post for HxH. I haven’t done one of those in what feels like ages ^^
So tumblr has now rolled lives for my account too and reading their rules..
MIDDLE FINGER IS BANNED I REPEAT DO NOT FLIP THE BIRD on live IT IS VERY VERY BAD IT IS LITERALLY SAME AS IF YOU GOT FULLY NAKED AND WOOP WOOP HANKY PANKY BOJOINK WITH AN EQUALLY NUDE PARTNER ON THE STREAM I REPEAT HIDE YOUR MIDDLE FINGERS PUT THEM AWAY PUT THEN AWAY NOW A CHILD COULD SEE AN OBSCENE FINGER ON TUNGLR DOT COM
I realized from lot of tags and comments lot of you are unaware that the underlying issue is BIGGER than just tumblr. I even skipped the part about dress code bc its the same on every app now, nothing special unfortunately, the middle FINGER was news. you just never read the ToS and the reason is US LAWS, Credit card company monopoly, advertisers wanting everything to be "family friendly" etc and things are only going to get worse if you don't start opposing and repeling the torjan horse laws. Here, let's have someone who knows better explain it:
