Hi, my name is Caroline! I post about superheroes, soldiers, and spies.

Tumblr, buddy, listen to me. This is an unprecedented opportunity. You can snap up all of the pie here, and become defacto internet goodguy easy. All you gotta do is... drop the nsfw ban. Unambiguously. Announce that dicks are back on the menu. You want people subscribed the blogs? You want people to actually use your Post+ function? Porn. Let us use it for porn. The youngins aren't joining this site anyway, you're not competing with tiktok. The vaguely horny 20-40 demographic though? You can have that. You can have all of that. Think about it.

Do you know how many pinup artists alone are itching to come back to tumblr, but dont because of the unclear, seemingly arbitrary application of your nsfw policy? These are insanely talented people who are practically begging to give you content. For free. But you gotta change the policy. We can't keep dancing around this. Just think of publicity. The drama. A complete 180. You'd kill it tumblr. You could make it happen. Please.

Did you ever just feel so lucky for knowing someone you met online? Like.. I was one click away from not following you. I was one second away from never even knowing of your existence.I would never have been this happy!!!...

They say the worst of it don't last long. What the water does to you once it's got you. It makes you cold, makes you scared. It shows you things. Bad things. But then it warms you. It settles you. It shows you the places you've been. Like the people you've loved. They're all there waiting for you. It doesn't sound so bad.

In response to Slate's article on the possibility having non-heteromative team in figure skating (particularly, ice dance and pairs), Oniceperspective shared a glimpse of Gabriella Papadakis (FRA) and Madison Hubbell (USA) working on their same-sex program. You can see how they switch the leading figure between them.

You can see them trying out lifts in this video.

No snare may hold me / Spring postcard 2023 Surviving so much abuse in my life, I relate to the unicorn tapestries through being a different beast held captive by unkind hands. My full beauty must be allowed to be open and wild, and no snare, fence, or rein may hold me for long. This design is available as a gold foil postcard with matching vinyl sticker for those who sign up for my mail tier during March 2023. PATREON

Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.

Word for today: wisdom of repugnance

The logical fallacy that because something disgusts you it must be bad

this is probably the funniest example of a tumblr user simply not reading the post theyre reblogging at all

the sound of an orchestra tuning up makes me go crazyinsane it makes me start thinking about the eventual heat death of the universe and how someday somewhere an orchestra is going to tune up for the very last time. ever. and then the sun will swallow the earth & turn into a white dwarf & all the stars will go out & meanwhile a gazillion light years away sentient life will be evolving from silicon. and maybe they will have orchestras also

Browsing fabrics is equal parts fun and infuriating, mostly because I'm tired of listings that say shit like "natural linen!" and then you go to the details of the listing and it's a blend of linen and fucking plastic. Same thing with cotton. Even on the nice expensive fabric sites, they like to hide the fiber content at the bottom of the goddamn page and give the listings misleading titles.

See also: vegan leather. It's fucking plastic. If I wanted plastic I would be shopping for fucking plastic! Get that shit out of my search results! God damn it! List it accurately or don't waste my time! Fuck!

IF YOU MAKE ME ORDER SWATCHES JUST SO I CAN LIGHT THEM ON FIRE TO FIGURE OUT THE FIBER CONTENT, I HATE YOU

Okay? And? That means it would benefit everyone to have better fiber content labels, which is my entire issue. Fabric shops don't label the fiber content clearly enough and it makes it harder to find what I am looking for.

I'm not sitting here telling people with allergies that they aren't allowed to use synthetics. I'm saying that I, PERSONALLY, am looking for linen, and it's really hard to find 100% natural linen without plastic blended in.
