Finally got around to finishing up this Pentiment fan embroidery project. It’s messy, and I would definitely do things differently looking back, but I'm still pretty happy with it for my first real project!

i really appreciate the number of mutuals who are not in any of my fandoms sharing this post. its like a little hello nod as we pass each other in the hall

Kyohei Inukai - Cat Resting on Window Sill (1978-84)

if you hate both then check back later. pick the one you like the most even if one is only 1% more tolerable or difficult to choose between them

Look at him go. I support him

it’s been three whole entire years

umm yikes ok OP of the post you just reblogged believes in nuance and grey areas so i'd delete that if i were you

Hey friends 🫂

Be nice with staff today, folks

Ok I wasn't planning to share anything about this because I was waiting for any official comms, but I'm seeing people from outside of Automattic sharing this screenshot in a WordPress-related public discord server, so I guess the cat is out of the bag:

TLDR: most of the current staff is being moved to other automattic divisions and Tumblr will be run by an skeleton crew

hi everyone!

if you've never paid attention to one of my posts, start now.

or you can look at the reblog before from @dualumina

i work in technology, specifically surrounding supporting enterprise software.

this is bad.

this is death knell bad.

this is "end of life" for a product bad.

tumblr has basically said: this website is not a revenue vehicle, and thus, it may perish naturally. we won't pull support from it. we won't force people to move off of projects surrounding it. but we will do the bare minimum moving forward to maintain it's existence and one day, when no one else wants to take responsibility for the decaying infrastructure and literally endless backlog of defects and code rewrites, the website will sunset.

you should start building a different online community today if you want one. there are options. or, hell, if you're savvy enough, you could start your own and open source it.

but you should start building a different, queer, inclusive online community yesterday if you want one.

even if you did the barest minimum research, the Wikipedia page for chronic fatigue syndrome is so sad. it’s like “this is what we diagnose people with when we can’t find anything else wrong with them. but it’s definitely something physical because there are visible neurological changes seen in neuroimaging and weirdness with the immune system. full recovery rates are less than 5%. the most common treatment is CBT which ignores the fact it is a physical illness and tells sick people they’ll get better if they just stop thinking about being sick.”

“we know CBT doesn’t work but we love torturing sick people so we do it as a little treat to ourselves”

✨ Please reblog the polls to make them reach out to as many people as possible, but KEEP IT SPOILER-FREE to make people listen to the music with an open mind 💖 Artists and titles will be revealed after the poll's conclusion ✨

wait hang on… i’ve been informed by some close online friends that they heavily curate who they’re following 😢 i follow 317 people and i’ve pared that down heavily (but also i’ve followed like 100 random saw bloggers in the last two months lmao) so now i’m rly curious

this scares me greatly

Go all the way off

[Video id: a man edited to be sitting in a jail cell, miming singing along to a song. The video cuts to the close up of a priest, where he starts angrily rolling up a newspaper. He smacks the camera about six times with the newspaper and starts quietly yelling and occasionally hitting the screen for emphasis.

"Stop it! Stop! Stop the whining and the sniveling right now! There are Christians in this world who are oppressed, yes. There are Christians in North Korea who can't go to worship without risking being thrown into a Gulag. There are Christians in Palestine who can't even get to their churches because of Israeli checkpoints and walls. You are not oppressed as a Christian in this country. Quit your sniveling whining! That savior you claim to serve said take up your cross and follow him and you're whining and crying because what? Because nobody's letting you treat gay people like shit anymore?! What the hell is wrong with you? Quit whining! Stop it!"

End id.]

I'm cackling. Love it.

Won’t lie, if I were having a rough time and the office himbos brought me mac and cheese I would be cured.

Small, clumsy kindnesses, earnestly given, are more healing than you would believe. More adults should be willing to show the tender caring that a little kid expresses when they say, “You looked sad, so I brought you a rock.”

adults of tumblr how on earth do you decide on what mattress you want to order

Go to the store.

Go to the store and lie on it for five minutes.

I know online is cheaper, but go to the store. Online delivery has a send back guarantee, but do you really know yourself capable of and willing to dismantle your bedroom because it didn't work out? No? GO TO THE STORE.

Go to the store and try it out and compare prices and nine out of ten times, they will match the online prices for you, because you're THERE and they can't afford to let you walk out empty handed.

Try it out, figure out the right hardness for you. Make sure you're comfortable.

A good mattress will last you 20-30 years depending on how often you move and how well you commit to taking care of it: vacuum it regularly and flip as per instructions, usually once every six months.

A bad mattress costs about the same as a good mattress, up front, except for the fact it will fuck you up for years and you might end up with chronic pain because of it.

Go to the store. Try it out.

I got a 46% discount and 18 interest free installment payment on mine, just cause I was physically there.

Figure out your budget. Go to the store. Ask to try it out. Make sure it feels good.

You deserve a good mattress and you deserve the money you spend to be worthwhile.

You've got this.

Also a lot of those trendy online-only delivery mattresses are not quality controlled, multiple people have discovered their mattress was stuffed with fiber glass only after it ripped and spewed sharp fibers over literally all of their belongings
