Hi, Intrepid Heroes
A mixed bag of fandoms

The masculine connotation of a bow tie and the feminine connotation of a bow on the top of the head implies a nonbinary bow style placed directly over the nose

unfortunately a lot of the corny self help advice turns out to be true but the thing is you have to come to those conclusions yourself otherwise it just sounds dismissive and dumb

some royal jewels were stolen from the louvre which is unfortunate for historical reasons but you gotta appreciate a classic crime. so many crimes are online these days it’s nice to see heist culture is still alive

some of y’all bout to be real mad at me. but it must be said. some of the shit u call corny/cringy is actually just genuine/cute/sweet and y’all r just afraid of expressing any type of positive emotion

i was at an event last night in california and i went to the bar to order wine bc wine was like, a thing, and i looked at the menu and saw i was completely out of my depth bc idk any wine names, so i turned to my right and there was a man in a gorgeous suit standing at the bar beside me and i said “do you know anything about wine?” and he said “a little, yes!” i told him i liked white and dry wines and asked if he’d order for me. he asked the server for two glasses and had one poured for each of us and then he clinked his glass on mine but he didn’t take a sip, he just watched me taste mine and then he asked what i thought and i said “it’s pretty good, but like i said, i wouldn’t know.” he laughed and told me to have a good time & i walked away. fifteen minutes later i found out he’s the winemaker.

Okay because it's topical

In college I was walking home throught the library and I saw a flier on the wall for a class called "the American Musical"

And I thought WOW! I don't have room in my courseload, but I should audit that!

And I kept reading and it said taught by Miriam Ellis

And I thought WOW! My favorite French teacher! No way! This is gonna be awesome!

And I kept reading and it said and John Dizikes

And I thought WOW! He has buildings named after him! This is gonna be a big deal!

And I kept reading and it said and Tom Lehrer

And I didn't think WOW! I thought BUH!!! And I thought no.... unless...? And either way I was going to be at that class

So I left the library in this sort of dazed cloud of euphoria, and at roughly the same moment this older gentleman was puttering out towards his car, wearing a Greek Fisherman's Cap. And at that point in my life I was deeply into Greek Fisherman's Caps and, as I mentioned, feeling unwonted beneficence towards all mankind. So I was like "hey man! I love your hat!"

And he said "yours too! Very Fiddler in the Roof. " And ambled off singing "If I were a Rich Man"

And I thought WOW! What a fun guy! Santa Cruz people amirite? And tomorrow I get to meet Tom Lehrer!

And so the next day I go to the class and would you know it? The sweet older gentleman from the library is there too, sitting in one of the desks. I wave at him, he waves at me, and I look around wondering if I'm gonna recognize Tom Lehrer when he walks in. But the room fills up with students and no one I think could be him -

And then my buddy from last night gets up and starts teaching the class

tumblr users love reading. you literally stopped for this post just because it has words in it

this is one of my favorite bits about tumblr

the users seem to actually prefer text posts to anything else, and treat it as a chore to play a video especially with sound

it exists to divide the working class. All labour is skilled labour. Yes including that one. Yes, including that one too.

Do you know what's unskilled labour? Owning capital. There's no labour involved, thus requires no skill. And you can tell because people can be born into owning capital.

Shushing the voice inside that screams for violent class warfare is also a skill.
