What is tumblr trying to tell me

i always have ppl asking me what i write in my diary/How To Do So, and while looking thru my hobonichi i found out they made a spread dedicated to such things ^_^

Arcmanoro Niles (American, 1989) - Where Do I Turn to When I Can't Take It Anymore (All the Hope I Had I Hope I Wasn't Wrong) (2025)

what people dont get about divorces is the Whole Thing About Dogs

i have written custody plans for labrador retrievers more complex than i have for children. i went to four years of undergrad, three years of law school, and sat for the bar exam to write up custody exchange provisions for dogs with hyphonated last names

my clients are paying $295 an hour for me to go to court and litigate who makes veterinary decisions for Chuckles the Goldfish and theres literally nothing i can do to stop them

framing these tags and hanging them up in my office to remind me that it can always be worse

accidentally got a site's ai assistant bolted down, and I do believe I was personally responsible for it, if only because I found out how to ask it for clothing suggestions in just such a way that it kept trying to find visions of hell in its stock and describing offerings of assorted red and pink scarves as like, insect-mutilated infants

like I do really think I might be at fault if they ever looked at the logs and saw what happened

I keep seeing gachiakuta reels on instagram about what their vital instrument would be and like ???? It’s not about what’s most useful to you, it’s about what’s most precious. Your air fryer that you’ve never cleaned and the phone you replace annually ain’t it

Like mine would be my class ring that I’ve worn on a necklace chain every day n night for 10 years. My dad shifted through the ashes of where my old bedroom was after our house burn down to find it. It took him three days and he never once thought about giving up

Tell me the tags what yours would be I’m curious

what even happened to plastic girl and crow boy. we forgot about them so fast. just another example of the savage nature of hollywood

Even our youth fictional romances are cheap, artificial, and disposable these days, much like a certain clothing material that comes to mind.

the spotted harrier, sometimes known as the smoke hawk, is a medium-sized australasian bird of prey. the bird has a distinct facial ruff, much like ones frequently found on owls, that gives them the appearance of a broad head in relation to their body. the tail is prominently barred with black markings, and the wing tips are black as well. the bird stands tall on long yellow legs, a distinguishing feature that makes them easy to recognize. like many other members of the family accipitridae, they are sexually dimorphic, with females being significantly larger than males. they are terrestrial birds often found in open grasslands and woodlands; while they are most often spotted in native grassland, they can also be found in agricultural land and inland wetlands. they primarily feed on terrestrial mammals, ranging from bandicoots to small rodents, but will also hunt small birds, reptiles, and even large insects on occasion. in the past, the species heavily depended on introduced rabbits for prey, as many of their original prey sources suffered sharp population declines. however, after the spread of rabbit calicivirus, the numbers of introduced rabbits dropped sharply, and the birds were forced to once again diversify their diets. spotted harriers lay small clutches of 2-4 eggs. clutches are laid within stick nests lined with eucalyptus leaves; females are primarily responsible for building the nest. they are most vocal during the breeding season, when males deliver food to their mates or when defending territory, but are largely quiet otherwise. they are currently designated as a species of least concern, with a large population size and broad range.

I adore her little flaps

theres something happening on instagram reels

ive spent the last half hour crying because of this

my bebder game ☺️

Oh man I love this artist! Here's what that sculpture looked like before the feathers were added:

If you've seen any pictures of "real living dinosaurs" online in the last 5 years, there's like a 90% chance it was actually one of Archesuchus's works:

I love stock photo sentences. This has been the new thing to repeat for me when things go wrong. A mentally ill man with psychological disorders is going crazy at home. The crazy man who is alone in his house is yelling.

if vampires existed in real life i think there would be shady companies advertising "organic blood" sourced from "willing donors" who are coincidentally all poor people being paid like $5 per blood donation. and like haughty vegan vampires who only drink a synthetic blood drink thats brewed in a way thats actively worse for the enviroment. and radical traditionalist vampires who go on tiktok and claim that true alpha chads have to drain and kill people and anyone who leaves their victims alive is a liberal cuck. enter the world of hypothetical insufferable vampire politics with me.

The idea of “but everyone knows that” needs to stop.

I saw a post about someone chiding Millennials for not knowing about JKRowlings transphobia, and asking how it is at all possible that people can exist in the world and the internet and, you know, not know.

Which I mean, I get. It is so present in so many of my online spaces that it seems astounding that someone could simply be ignorant! It feels impossible!

But let me tell you a story:

I went on a girls trip with a bunch of friends. All of us are rather incredibly liberal and all of us are incredibly online.

One girl would not stop talking about Harry Potter.

At one point, another girl asked her why she was ok with supporting it, and she had no real clue that JK Rowling was at all transphobic. She had heard that she likes to support Lesbian causes and thought “oh ok cool!” And that was it. She was AGOG with the news and rather horrified.

I must once again emphasize that she was an incredibly online person. She’s a foodie and a restaurant blogger.

Later in the trip we were picking restaurants and I suggested one I found on Google, and she gasped at me. Actually gasped, asking how I could ever be okay picking that one.

The shock must’ve been on my face, because she then told me all of the shitty things that restaurateur does. He abuses staff. Underpays them. Fires them on a whim. Is known for being one of the worst people to his employees in the entire restaurant business on this coast.

And she was so shocked I had never heard of this. Because in her mind, I was just as online as her. And in her online world, EVERYONE knew about this guy.

So I think the moral of this story is: always approach the other person with some empathy. Even online people, even people you think MUST know about how bad people are, may not have heard. It may truly be just them being on a different sphere of the internet than you.

So be gentle, be kind when letting people know they might not have heard about the cancellation of XYZ person. Don’t assume that everyone knows all the same info as you.

By all means, let them know so they can make informed decisions, but being kind will go a lot further than attacking them for some info they might not know yet.
