This account is mostly for personal stuff, a varied mix of sweet reblogs, photos I take on the go, model kit builds, and creating heart-stopping K-Pop gifs.
If you're into retro games, please do click this link to visit my awesome lil' Retro Game Champion project sideblog over yonder.
We've all heard about the "can I buy you a drink?" bar flirting trope.
But this is Tumblr.
And I'd bet good donut money that we're more likely to spend time in a bookstore than a bar/club.
So without further ado:
Did you miss Part 1? How about this creepy shit?
Let's start this one with some doofy dolls. Here we have two... *gags* Guh... singing George Bushes and... shit, I don't know about the second one, honestly. It's probably also classist garbage humor, I guess?
Big-time memories. These tablets full of their weak, tan paper inside were basically the only thing I wrote on for half of my public schooling. Also, yeah, movie Beetlejuice was cool and all, but the cartoon version was on that good good shit.
A gorgeous lil' retro pachinko machine in impeccable condition for this price. I wish I could've snagged it.
Again, an absolutely bonkers condition thing, but a pretty high price. Just LOOK at this accordion, though! It's gorgeous!
Board game night will never be the same again...
I WANT THIS THING WOW
But I'll just cuddle with this dude instead for free.
This little bear with the dope chain is way too excited that some Mason died.
This super-depressed vintage E.T. is now one of my bestest friends ever.
Alright, so that wraps it up for the most recent Kansas trip, but how about some interesting Texas finds now that I'm back? Say no more!
WE ARE THE MOTHERFUCKING BUTTER PEOPLE GIVE US ALL YOUR BREAD
These salt and pepper shakers are almost certainly tiddies.
Both of these made me point and laugh equally.
Someone made the ugly '80s suitcases into... footstools? ... I like it.
I'm not sure how I feel about Cake Man, but I definitely laughed hard at this sheep taking revenge on Dora.
Finally, this incredible, incredible piece that somehow survived all the way from Brooklyn to Austin. It's a 12 foot (or so) tall mirror, a super ornately carvedframe, and some original paint in the middle (sorry, ladies). This sucker was from the original Grand Prospect Hall in 1892 before it burned down and needed to be rebuilt. It's your sif you have $12,000 and can figure out a way to move such a thing safely.
Wow, though. 131 years. Jesus.

If you know me, you know I love antiquing and thrifting. I literally thrive on nostalgia. Kansas is one of the best places to go for such things, as the best pieces haven't been picked to resell, and the prices are mad cheap.
Here are some choice random objects I found on my last trip:
We'll kick it off with a lovely book selection. The Maker of Boxes is your new god, Macromedia is an ancient conjuring word from the past, and the cover of "RABIES" will catch any child's attention. I was afraid to open that last book because bigotry.
You ready for a hot and wild date night?
None of this "We need to talk" nonsense, or hoping that the other person will divine what you need from them or intuitively know what your boundaries are. Communicate!
I've noticed something in Nimona and I'm adding pictures (UPDATED), but look at the catch lights in the eyes. Nimona has slightly rounded tilted diamonds,
Boldheart has squares (or sideways diamonds),
and the institute has diamonds
Golden Loin has triangles when he doubts the institute or is being purely himself
but diamonds when he's fully on their side.
Glorith has the same eye shines as Nimona in the beginning,
but when she says her famous line, they're diamonds.
Boldheart's catch lights are always a square, or sideways diamond. He never fit in at the institute, but always stood for truth and honor.
This is just something I noticed that I think is cool.
Today, we’re abnormally jazzed to announce that we’re open-sourcing the custom framework we built to power your dashboard on Tumblr. We call it StreamBuilder, and we’ve been using it for many years.
First things first. What is open-sourcing? Open sourcing is a decentralized software development model that encourages open collaboration. In more accessible language, it is any program whose source code is made available for use or modification as users or other developers see fit.
What, then, is StreamBuilder? Well, every time you hit your Following feed, or For You, or search results, a blog’s posts, a list of tagged posts, or even check out blog recommendations, you’re using this framework under the hood. If you want to dive into the code, check it out here on GitHub!
StreamBuilder has a lot going on. The primary architecture centers around “streams” of content: whether posts from a blog, a list of blogs you’re following, posts using a specific tag, or posts relating to a search. These are separate kinds of streams, which can be mixed together, filtered based on certain criteria, ranked for relevancy or engagement likelihood, and more.
On your Tumblr dashboard today you can see how there are posts from blogs you follow, mixed with posts from tags you follow, mixed with blog recommendations. Each of those is a separate stream, with its own logic, but sharing this same framework. We inject those recommendations at certain intervals, filter posts based on who you’re blocking, and rank the posts for relevancy if you have “Best stuff first” enabled. Those are all examples of the functionality StreamBuilder affords for us.
So, what’s included in the box?
What’s still to come
If you have questions, please check out the code and file an issue there.
Coolest damn little Hellsite on the net.
My favourite thing about the latest Twitter meltdown is all the artists reanimating their dead Tumblr accounts today and immediately being greeted with hundreds of notes because even a Tumblr account they literally have not posted to in 3–5 years has more active and engaged followers than the Twitter account that they've been updating daily.
If you could travel back in time and alter reality, what music group would you want to plant yourself into?
It's one thousand The Prodigy for me.
Get ready for every blog run by an English speaking white girl to become absolutely intolerable when season 2 of good omens drops
something very funny, the only perosn i follow that posts about good omens... is neil gaiman
Neil gaiman is an English speaking white girl
tomfoolery at an all time high
what a time to be alive for wackadoodles
the baseball we deserve
(this is the savannah bananas. they dance. they wear kilts. they Love The Boys. also they have a dance team made up of seniors called the banana nanas, a "dad bod cheerleading squad", the man-nanas, and a charity organisation focused on foster care called bananas foster)
