I’m talking about childhood here, not adolescence. This isn’t about getting a job in high school, it’s about what was in your piggy bank when you were ten.
Tater tots are not fries I'm sorry the tots didn't make the cut
My parents being cute and cuddling on the couch while they facetime with my brother
Me: 😊
The sinking realization I’ll never have that level of closeness with another person
Me: 🙃
Knowing my parents would be great grandparents but will never get the chance
Me: 😟
You can define this as either which one you consider the overall mostly terrifying, or which one you are the most legitimately anxious about actually happening to you. It's up to you!
Tag where you're from and whether you have any experience with the one you voted the scariest! And feel free to elaborate on if you've moved and if your views have changed over time, etc.

i recently noticed that @ jetblackcode created a really interesting tool that lets you see your tumblr stats, one of which is a comparison between the number of notes you’ve gotten on all your posts to the entire userbase! so, i figured a fun reblog game would be to put in your blog and tag which color you got:
i’ve colored the buckets on the histogram so that it’s easier to tell where you landed on the graph rather than just using numbers ^_^
okay so all of my stats have been spider-georg’d by the kermit meme post, but I have had some bangers haven’t I? (Violet)

I can’t really post it as a poll bc it’s more of an Essay Question, but I’m curious:
What was the first queer fictional character you can remember seeing or reading about? If you can’t remember the first, then just think back as far as you can. For me I think it was Captain Jack Harkness.
Baby Clifford & baby Snoopy
it was just a misunderstanding

Today my art history professor gave some words of wisdom:
Nude is when your clothes are off. Naked is when your clothes are off and you’re up to something
I saw that post and couldn't resist
HELP :')
alright so
i got hit by a very bad repair bill and so i'm opening up some ~emergency commissions~ to try to mitigate some of the damage
i'm offering specifically bust commissions, either unlined or lined, for $30/$40 respectively, at
if you do not want a commission, or want to help out with a smaller amount of money, i am also accepting donations at
th-thank you..................
thank you!! to everyone who has helped me out so far!! it’s been a long time since i’ve had to reach out like this and i was genuinely scared of doing so, but people have been so kind and it’s genuinely taken a lot of the pressure off already!!
Guys! Fun fact: I’ve commissioned Fish multiple times (mostly for visuals of my DnD characters) and they’ve always turned out amazing! I still have my Black Cat as my theme background! (these are like a million years old Fish, sorry, but I still love them a lot so I had to brag)
““The Great Pacific Garbage Patch can now be cleaned,” announced Dutch entrepreneur Boyan Slat, the wonderkid inventor who’s spent a decade inventing systems for waterborne litter collection.
Recent tests on his Ocean Cleanup rig called System 002, invented to tackle the 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic pollution, were a success, leading Slat to predict that most of the oceanic garbage patches could be removed by 2040.
Intersections of ocean currents have created the massive floating islands of plastic trash—five slow-moving whirlpools that pull litter from thousands of miles away into a single radius.
The largest one sits between California and Hawaii, and 27-year-old Slat has been designing and testing his systems out there, launching from San Francisco since 2013.
GNN has reported on his original design for the floating device, but his engineering team improved upon it. System 002, nicknamed “Jenny,” successfully netted 9,000 kilograms, or around 20,000 pounds in its first trial.
It’s carbon-neutral, able to capture microplastics as small as 1 millimeter in diameter, and was designed to pose absolutely no threat to wildlife thanks to its wide capture area, slow motion, alerts, and camera monitors that allow operators to spy any overly-curious marine life…
Slat estimates ten Jennies could clean half the garbage patch in five years, and if 10 Jennies were deployed to the five major ocean gyres, then 90% of all floating plastic could be removed by 2040.” -via Good News Network, 10/19/21
How much you wanna bet the State of California will “prohibit” use of this system, because “reasons.”
If it’s in international waters they can’t do anything about it. And I’m pretty sure the federal government decides what can and can’t go on off our coasts too, not local or state.
Slat has been working on this since he was literally a child. I remember the first posts, articles, and I think there was even a fundraising campaign at one point.
I am so, so proud of him holy shit.
^^^ me too!! I remember the first news yeaaars ago that some kid had thought up a brilliantly simple method of cleaning up the oceans, and even that first prototype was amazingly efficient in solving a problem that the grownup world seemed to have given up on. It was so simple I couldn’t believe no scientist or engineer had thought of it before.
And he’s just been refining it and making it better and better? Amazing news!
Well done, sir, well done and thank you <3
My big memory of this is that every time he sent out a prototype, people would overwhelmingly go “AH HA! See? It didn’t work as advertised because a storm broke it/it didn’t filter as much as he predicted/etc.”
And every time, Boyan would analyse what went wrong, tinker with it, and send a stronger version back out.
There are still issues with it, like, but this guy isn’t some shitty billionaire - he’s a normal man walking the walk to clean up an international problem that everyone else is just wringing their hands over. I have no clue why everyone is desperately waiting for him to fail. He’s picked his hill, and he plods along, and if the latest design hasn’t met expectations, he creates a new one.
Their website is here, btw, in case anyone wants to have a look; they still accept donations

personally I like to think steve’s birthday isn’t actually July 4th but someone asked him when his birthday was when he was doing his little show tour thingy and he just said it as an accident and/or a panic response in a bid to seem even more patriotic and everyone believed him and now it’s like 100 years later and he’s too deep in the lie to back out now bc he knows all the avenger’s would fucking publicly roast him if he admitted july 4th wasn’t actually his birthday- like he would literally never live that down- so he lives his life in fear that some bitch ass historian is gonna find his birth certificate and expose him
avengers: happy birthday, steve!
bucky, eyes narrowing: what the fuck your birthday isn’t until-
steve, holding back tears: shut up
Bucky tries to hand him a birthday card one cold December day, and Steve tackles him out a window before anyone else can see what he’s holding
youdoyoushawn
Bruce: What was that crashing noise?
Tony, fiddling with something: Barnes just got tackled by Cap, because today is his actual birthday.
Bruce: How do you know?
Tony: My dad remembered it more than mine
Bruce: but you and Barnes threw him a huge party on the 4th of July this year.
Tony: Yeah, seeing him squirm about lying to the public is the best part of our country’s birthday.
