"at least venezuela lost a dictator" "the good thing about trump's invasion" "maduro deserved it" oh my god some of you are dangerously susceptible to fascist propaganda.
unfriendly and honestly hostile reminder that trump isn't invading venezuela because maduro is a dictator, or because of drug cartels. he's doing it only and exclusively because they have desirable oil reserves and no other reason. reminder that venezuela is a comparatively poor country that will never financially recover from this. reminder that venezuelans are suffering with the bombing and the air strikes. reminder that trump did it to steal from them and no one did anything. reminder that this sets a dangerous precedent and now all trump has to do to invade another country is claim they're in a dictatorship. reminder that trump is a fascist dictator.
this will only be bad, for venezuelans and for all of latin america (and possibly the whole world) in the long run. trump did this not to help the venezuelans or their country, but to steal their petrol and get away with it. and he will. because that's what dictators do.

No children are allowed in the Library of Congress.
It's not that kind of library.
In other words...
You are being lied to
again
Everything published in the US is copied to the Library of Congress; appropriateness for children is not a criteria. Published under copyright is.
In order to read something in the Library of Congress, you must, in order:
1) Be 16+ years old and in possession of ID such as a driver’s license or passport to obtain a LoC card
2) Make an appointment to go to a reading room
3) Know what it is you want to read and which library building it is in so you can fill out a request form when you arrive.
So the chances of a “child” just stumbling over something “inappropriate” that was “put” there by the choice of the head librarian is 100% impossible.
Leavitt seems to believe that if she wears a big enough cross, God can’t hear her breaking the commandment against false witness.

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.

tiktok brain is like a prion disease to me
when someone i know says “it’s girl math” i feel like one of those people in a zombie apocalypse who just noticed a bite on one of my groupmates
You can tell what instruments people are most familiar with by how they do air guitar. Like, people who’ve never played an instrument will do it like how they saw it on tv or from a friend. I played piano and trumpet as a kid, so my understanding of how music is made involves a lot of hand motions. So my air guitar is very heavy in “chord changes” and fretboarding(never got around to learning a string instrument 😔; don’t know the lingo). And people who’ve played guitar/bass, or are pro air guitarists, probably have a more “form accurate” style of air guitar. Makes you think.

My boyfriend: art is a quasi divine thing, it is the pinnacle of human creation. Essentially, art is an artifice in which the artist imbues a particular lens in which a artist frames a particular object so as the viewer can interpret said object. Art exists separately from the medium; every medium can be used to make something entertaining or well crafted, but that doesn’t make it art, let alone good. Good Art will further its medium/media and/or give meaningful commentary on the world or human condition. *Good* art extends upon being aesthetically gratifying. This is why Sabrina Carpenter, genre fiction, blockbusters, Marvel, etc aren’t art, they’re merely entertainment.
Also my boyfriend: Hailey Welch is a post-modern performance artist
My cishet straight man roommate: “I’m a *philosopher*. I have absurdly high standards for all art. I’m a manic pixie poet photographer who listens to Death Grips religiously. I don’t even watch video essays without critiquing them like Scorsese. Genre fiction isn’t art, only high art is art. Sabrina Carpenter isn’t a real artist, BTW; not like the Beatles.”
Also my roommate: “Haliey Welch is legitimately a postmodern performance artist.”

really hard for me to get people into xmen because i 1) do recommend starting with giant size and reading from 94 onward 2) also feel the need to warn people about how claremont is an insane person
like hi welcome to the xmen. our most icon writer is an insane racist zionist who really wishes he was writing hypno fetish transformation porn (these things are not unrelated). yeah you do kind of have to read 17 years of his work. good luck

some of the best most iconic issues have a white girl saying the n word with the hard r on them

Just looked at a blog where the header description said 'sometimes I reblog posts I like so I don't forget them'.
And I feel like that, right there, explains so much about how the site has changed in the last few months.
People now think reblogging is an unusual behaviour, rather than a default.
Tumblr newbies, please, for the love of baby Jesus, reblog the posts you like. That is the whole reason the site exists - for you to collect all your shiny fandom objects in a single space. Which you can organize to your heart's content. Or not organize at all, if that's your jam.
Our blogs are intended to be collections of posts, not collections of likes.
THE ENTIRE POINT OF TUMBLR IS REBLOGGING.
Liking does absolutely nothing. There is no algorithm like on IG that will use likes to throw content at people. If you don’t reblog, then no one who doesn’t follow that person (or happen to find it in the tags) will see that post.
Tumblr is supposed to be your bookcase where you show off all of your pretties: the posts you like and the ones that you want to promote to support the other creators in your fandom/community.
