i honestly oscillate wildly between thinking ’the youngest generation is fine, literally every younger generation in history has been complained about, this is nothing new and everything will be fine’ and ‘the current state of the world is fucking up the youngest generation in new, unique, and deeply serious ways’

both are kinda true.

You’re married to your phone background/lockscreen how fucked are you

It couldn't be more black and white everybody.

Why you absolutely need to Vote Blue No Matter Who for FUCK'S SAKE

If you don’t push the control stick slowly so your character walks during dramatic and emotional scenes then you play video games wrong

Tumblr burned down years ago, and now a tranquil meadow has grown from its ruins

Tumblr is that barren pasture in Costa Rica that was purposely filled with 12,000 metric tons of orange peels by conservation researchers. Initially, the orange peels decomposed into “sludgy stuff filled with fly larvae.” This led to accusations that the juice company providing the peels were “defiling the land,” and thus, the site was ultimately abandoned. But when researchers went back about 15 years later, they discovered “the arid landscape had been unrecognisably transformed into a dense, vine-filled jungle... as for how the orange peels were able to regenerate the site so effectively in just 16 years of isolation, nobody's entirely sure.”

And that, my friends, is Tumblr.

idk I just personally think that getting chills from music is the best part of being alive. like when a song is so good you can feel it in your whole body. that's why I'm here.

I’ve been in absolute tears cry laughing at this for the past 15 minutes.

many parents will not want to hear this but the best way to protect your child from being taken advantage of by predators is making sure you're a safe person to talk to and your home is a positive environment to live in. predators target children from broken homes because they seek comfort of other adults as replacement for absent and abusive parental figures.

what the hell

i love saving images onto my cell phone. it’s like picking berries

Never ask a girl if she wants to become a werewolf because she’s always going to say yes because girls love tearing things apart with their teeth and ripping people to shreds with their claws, it’s a foregone conclusion, an immutable fact of our universe really when ya think about it.

I am super against light pollution, and have been for decades

but I am also super annoyed by the way it's framed as "without light pollution you can see how beautiful the night sky is" way more prominently than it's framed as "hey, did you ever stop to think of how much energy/resources/money are literally wasted by having so much light shine up into the sky?"

so people get the idea that light pollution can only be remedied by eliminating all night-time light, which would make being outside at night very inconvenient, instead of by making night-time light shine only on the ground where, y'know, the people who need it are

The mildest example of what OP's talking about in Dunedin, Aotearoa:

This is just with the streetlamp equivalent of using lampshades. Imagine what truly directional city lights could achieve?

Ao3? More like Ao2 (Archive of My Own) which is just my folder of untitled, unedited, and absolutely feral Google Docs I have no intention of sharing with anyone

i would never “french” kiss my girlfriend because I hate the french more than i love her

I don't give a shit how good the reviews are I will never read something w a cover like this

I couldn't stop thinking about how stupid this cover is and I think that it speaks volumes that I was able to recreate it almost perfectly in Canva with free graphics in under 15 minutes
