tumblr users love reading. you literally stopped for this post just because it has words in it

this is one of my favorite bits about tumblr

the users seem to actually prefer text posts to anything else, and treat it as a chore to play a video especially with sound

Young adult Pacifica! A working woman! I know she still looks small, but she's just a short queen. And she's got a fuller figure now (Greasy's has introduced her to the magic of Carbs ✨)

“are you going to the lucy dacus concert?” no. i listen to gucci mane.

Today's aesthetic: when a movie intends for the audience to understand that a particular character is contemptible, but is unwilling to give them any actual unsympathetic traits, so in practice they're just a regular guy whom everybody is really mean to for no obvious reason.

I want to be very clear on this. You can be out drinking with your friends on Friday night and dead on Sunday because of meningitis. Does that sound a little specific? Guess why I have such a specific scenario in mind.

And getting vaccinated is an easy way to prevent that. There is no medical reason to stop recommending that vaccine. There's no new study that shows that it's unsafe, there's no replacement that's better. This is literally the government making its citizenry less safe for no reason.

ive always rly liked the idea of a member of a group of adventurers having what everyone assumes is very well trained hawk and then at the end of their journey its casually revealed that thats actually just his buddy whos a shapeshifter and just rly likes being a hawk

the guy also like thinks everyone knows bc he never tries to hide the fact that the hawk is a person but everyone assumes hes always just joking. like the others being like "damn its crazy how he knows exactly what you want him to do its like he knows english or something." and the guy is just like "well yeah thats his first language so ofc he's fluent??" and they all go "haha good one" and move on, leaving him confused

they just think hes a quirky guy that really loves his pet and says things like "the 9 of us" even tho there are clearly only 8 people! he just cares about the bird so much he counts it as a group member haha !

got the idea just now that the guy is also lugging around all the hawk's luggage for him and everyone else is like why do u always bring all this extra shit that u dont even use or wear and hes like oh this is [hawk's name]'s stuff and they look at the collection of clothing and weapons and books and go 🤨

i got lazy. will draw bird boy later

I used my free will again.

I can't stop thinking about how SY's favorite flower is lily of the valley, an elegant yet poisonous species.
You know WHO can also be described as elegant and poisonous??? Shen Jiu.

got told at lunch "you feel like Tumblr Incarnate" and i had to tell them i've been here for 13 years and counting. i was here three years before dashcon happened. i saw the mishapocalypse. i survived the gigapause. i've been here longer than the shoelaces post. i've been here since it was hipsters versus fandom and i played both sides extensively by overdoing the sepia filters on everything and making my own flashing galaxy gif edits for my fandom posts. i'm every tumblr. it's all in me

Oh ancient one what wisdom do you hold?

• 99% of callout posts are bullshit and just petty personal drama someone is escalating to get even on a grudge. do not engage with these, do not freelance as a cop
• DNIs do not work. accept this. internalize that people you don't like will see your posts and engage with them. this is unavoidable and the sooner you make peace with it the freer your mind will be. block the freaks and don't sweat the small stuff
• building a tight knit circle of fellow weirdos who vibe with your particular quirks and taste is infinitely more rewarding and sustainable than chasing the biggest numbers
• don't respond to bad-faith arguments or bad takes; just block people, blacklist tags, filter post content, and move on. don't feed the trolls (or the bigots)
• don't hate-follow
• don't tag your hate (ex. if you're posting about how much you hate a ship, don't tag it as that ship, etc.)
• don't feel obligated to keep following someone who posts stuff that upsets/depresses/angers/bores you just because you know them really well, or because you're mutuals, or because you used to like what they post. following is nothing personal and neither is unfollowing
• op doesn't know you; avoid parasocial relationships
• don't pick fights or reblog posts just to disagree/argue
• spread joy and positivity in your circles
• disable anonymous asks

"OR WOMEN IN GENERAL"???? HELLO

Reblog to bully people who don't like female characters or women in general off the internet.

You ever see something innocuous, minding its own business on the clearance shelf at Michael’s and before you know it, it takes over your life for a few weeks?

So it was with this desktop greenhouse.

I took it home and after taking an appropriate time to “season” my idea in my mind (read: a month or two) I set to make my vision of a mini botanical garden a reality.

I started by removing the heavy glass panels and building a raised floor above the latch. I wanted to use the base as a foundation on the building.

I wrapped the foundation in plastic stone textured flooring (meant for Christmas villages) and built a pond at one end of the same. I then gave it a more realistic paint job and designed a rough layout for my plants and displays.

I also knew I wanted to make the ironwork significantly more intricate, but I wasn’t sure how just yet…

Up next - PLANTS! I went wild making all kinds of plants. Some were specific species and some were more conceptual.

I made several trees with polymer clay and moss, cacti out of beads and flocking, cattails out of raffia, hot glue and coffee grounds, and giant monstera leaves out of paper and wire.

This part should have taken me a long time, but it really came together fast. I loved finding ways to replicate natural shapes and patterns using bits of this and that.

I did make adjustments to my plans as I went like eliminating benches in favor of a simpler overall design.

Then I needed to fill my pond with water. For this I used resin. Lily pads were added to the top layer, and I wired in simple LED fairy lights. The batteries are kept in the box under the foundation.

In a weekend frenzy I added more plants, metal (paper) steps, new (plexi)glass windows, a roof, wrought-iron vines (paper again), doors that open, and a hose reel disguising the latch. Suddenly, a project I thought would take months was finished…

I love my desktop botanical garden. Right now it sits on a simple lazy Susan in my office. But I’d love to get it a proper display box to protect from dust.

Thank you for coming on this little journey with me. This piece packs a lot of joy into a tiny space. I always love building miniatures, and I’ll be doing more in the future I’m sure.

i'm not going to sit here and call anyone a bad person for not sharing fundraisers on their tumblr blog because i don't think anyone is obligated even a little bit to use social media as the avenue by which they attempt to do good in the world. but something i do think is incredibly crass is the amount of blogs i see who insist on having long bios or pinned posts telling you they will never ever do this and block anyone who asks them to. you know you can just keep your mouth shut and quietly proceed with your regular blogging right? you don't have to announce you are going to block anyone who asks you to help. you don't need to talk about how really you just have too many problems to be able to be concerned with the suffering of people objectively much worse off than you. you don't need to subtly or not-so-subtly perpetuate the unsubstantiated dehumanizing racist talking points about how these people are probably all spambots anyway. you can just choose not to make yourself look like a complete asshole yknow?

I don’t think I have anything in my blog about this so I’m not really your target? But are these not just spam bots which actually don’t have any real backing? These are all in my dms in like the last week. Some of them are identical messages.

IMO, the real work gets done by established aid organizations. The ones Israel is blocking from access. This stuff won’t do anyone any good.

"But are these not just spam bots which actually don’t have any real backing?" why don't we take a few minutes to actually look into this and see if we can find out instead of just guessing. All of the information I am about to provide is immediately very accessible within the bio and first post or two on the first page of each account.

the first one links to Abdullah Salem Abdullah's campaign and claims to be vetted by the gazavetters team. the gazavetters are a grassroots team here on tumblr who have been assisting to verify the legitimacy of peoples' campaigns for quite awhile now. you can see in their pinned post, written in both arabic and english, what exactly their standards and process are for verifying a campaign and decide if it's rigorous enough for you. Abdullah's post says his post is number #641 - let's go see what that number says in the gazevetters master spreadsheet

it looks like this campaign is no longer being backed by the gazavetters due to spam behavior.

that next message is for Shaima's campaign, which is #62.

i believe this means they have not heard back when asking for updates regarding this campaign, which tracks with the account not having been updated since the end of september. The fourth account is also one of Shaima's providing the same information and linking to the same campaign, and, similarly, has not posted since the end of september.

The third one is Mohammed Yousef's campaign. This one is #88

They give it the okay. The campaign linked on the blog matches the link on the spreadsheet. This campaign was also shared by 90-ghost, a longterm tumblr user who is a gazan palestinian who has been helping platform fundraisers since the beginning of the war. there's no reason to believe this is not a legitimate fundraiser.

So that's where this stands: one spammer, one ambiguous situation, and one very real person asking for help.

If you think about the fact that most of these people are communicating in a language they might either speak without full fluency or not at all, the fact that some of them are using identical templates might start to make a big more sense.

Now, here's a question I have for you: If the established aid organizations are having their entry blocked by Israel, how are they getting "real" work done? These things can not both be true at the same time. You don't have to give your money to anyone you don't want to, but if you're going to call people bots you might want to do the smallest amount of due diligence before making that claim publicly. You don't have to speak on a subject you have done zero work to acquire information about. Like i said before, you're free to just keep your mouth shut and quietly proceed with your regular blogging.

If you would prefer to donate to aid groups rather than individual families, here are some legitimate operations doing important work that could use your support.
