Putting the armor on
always blows my mind as a european when people talk about states like “yeah theres nothing in ohio/montana/wyoming/etc” because i look at a map like but. but theyre so big. every state could qualify as its own country what do you mean theres nothing there. and then i ask people from those states and theyre like “yeah theres nothing here” what do you mean theres nothing there!!!
What’s in the steppes of Russia, or the northern forests of Scandinavia? What’s in the Sahara desert?
id like us to sit here and identify some key differences between the sahara desert and ohio for a moment
as a former Ohio resident I think that the key difference is that the sahara probably has more jobs unrelated to meth

Tumblr is just a nice little place where you can take off your ‘real person’ face and roll around in piles of garbage tailored to your unhinged hyperfocus five minutes before you stand up and go back to your zoom meeting
A short list of things I think everyone should try or do at least once in their life that will make you feel more alive. Not all of these are applicable to every person, but it’s a summary:
- Take a dance class of any style with a semi-serious instructor for at least 4 classes worth
- Write a work of fiction, of *any* length and *any* quality
- Learn a least a bit of a language that isn’t your native one. You don’t need to become anywhere near fluent, but try and get a bit beyond yes, no, and where’s the bathroom. If you’re from a country where most people are bilingual already, that doesn’t count! Get bits of a language with which you are truly unfamiliar.
- In the same vein, make peace with subtitles and start consuming music, TV and movies from cultures that aren’t your own. If your country imports large amounts of media from a specific other culture or cultures (American movies in foreign markets, for example) that also doesn’t count! Get some feelers out to begin to take in content from a culture that you don’t already have a lot of knowledge of.
- Try at least one less common/less “exercisey” and more fun type of physical exercise such as roller blading or roller or ice skating, gymnastics, trampoline, rock climbing, aerial silks, pole dancing, surfing, etc
- Learn a hobby or craft that produces a physical finished product and produce a single, complete object - regardless of quality - that you can hold in your hands and say that you made.
- Look up a how it’s made video or YouTube video on how an item that’s interesting or relevant to you is made
- Give one type of thing - media, hobby, sport, whatever - that you’ve never been interested in or never tried because of some preconceived perception an honest shot and see if your perception was correct. Sometimes it won’t be, sometimes it will be, but it’s valuable to know.
- Rearrange the furniture in a room in your home
It’s about NOVELTY, babey! Get some enrichment into your enclosure!
I've been doing all of these things and my brain and body feel so nice
Reblog if you had a Tumblr for 5+ years
are you a tron legacy fan
I love the soundtrack, and the original film is one of my favorite movies of all time. I was in the bullseye of the target demo.
That said, a friend of mine, whose judgment I trust, told me that he was so disappointed by Legacy, it physically hurt him. He went to to tell me that he was sharing this with me, to spare me his pain.
So I've never seen it. I presume you're a fan, or you wouldn't be asking, so I'll end this by saying that if you do love it, that balances out how much my friend didn't, and that keeps the big wheel turning.
Tron Legacy was the best 125 minute Daft Punk music video I've ever seen.
