Pinned post!! hello! i’m alive!

you can call me August, pronouns are they/fae/she

I love to write but i’m so bad at plot so i usually just end up with half-finished planners

I love fiber arts! As of right now I only know how to crochet, but I really want to learn how to sew, embroider, knit, macrame, etc.

Media I like (i can’t find a better way to phrase this 😭)

  • AJW BOOKS!!!!!! highly highly highly recommend his books (hell followed with us, the spirit bares its teeth, and compound fracture) just make sure to read the trigger warnings/authors note
  • Deep into my will wood hyperfixation (potentially special interest?? idfk) right now
  • Camp Here and There!!!!!!!!!
  • Life in the World to Come is my comfort podcast i love it so much
  • REVELATOR BY CHRIS DUNNE. PLEASE LISTEN TO/READ REVELATOR ITS SO GOOD AND THE FANDOM IS SO TINY.
Pinned Post about me pinned post for anyone who noticed the change i just realized i should probably update/simplify my pinned since i made it over a year ago

Breaking: TikTok is better bc it’s more hostile towards humanity

The lack of video content is what kept us here... I thought we all agree that the best feature of this hellhole was and always will be anonymity.

Tumblr's not asking for my phone number. It's not going through my contacts to try and connect me with my fucking colleagues. I can come here and talk about whatever I want without anyone ever seeing my face or hearing my voice. I don't have to censor myself and hide my interests or enthusiasm out of fear of consequences it might have in my real life.

I think the biggest misunderstanding they have of Tumblr is that they think of it as a social media platform when in actuality it's a blogging platform with social features.

I like the use of Metroman here because if there's one thing Tumblr users collectively agree on it's that we want everyone to think we're dead

reasons i stay on tumblr dot com

  • offers a variety of post types
  • desktop browser accessible
  • customizable features for those inclined
  • is famously difficult to monetize, so people here post for the love of the game
  • in fact, the ads are often so hilariously bad i’ve thought some were shitposts and have tried to reblog them
  • no shop feature that encourages random people to become advertisements, leading to 60% of posts becoming a shill for landfillslop
  • has never asked me for my contacts
  • has never asked me to turn on location services
  • is not subject to the liquid panopticon of turning neighbor against neighbor (e.g republican kirk witchhunt)
  • large amount of text based posts that can allow for nuance and discussion
  • the unique and organic community that is here. tiktok tried to recreate goncharov and it sucked and was just some girl’s attention promo. the years long inside jokes. the site-specific holidays. dracula daily and jokes about classic lit.
  • the rejection of infantilizing, self censoring euphemisms like unalive or grape
  • seeing the posts from people i follow in chronological order
  • nobody i know to see me engage in “cringe” interests

et cetera et cetera

at any given point this week i am thinking about that one short where the person is doing beautiful chinese brush calligraphy but the voiceover is some fuckass guy going, in mandarin "EMPEROR, HE'S GAYYY YOUR SON IS GAY HE LIKES MEN BOTH YOUR SONS ARE GAY"

and whenever he says gay in english rather than tongxing or whatever the pinyin is, the brush just awkwardly scribbles "gay" in english rather than run the phonetics

i have the link to this but the account has no other calligraphy content so it's probably a douyin repost and i can't find the original for the life of me

吾皇啊！您兒是gay啊！ #轉發 #gay #彩虹友善
