Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Gentle Spirit
I made it through April, May, June; it seemed I had outsmarted grief but pulled the hanged man card repeatedly—the self-same sorrow said a different way.

Losing it over this bc she’s 100% right 😭💀😭💀😭💀
edit: this is blowing up so I just wanted to say that southpauz has a Tumblr acc if you guys wanna follow her!! username is southpauz
man i bet people are making a lot of funny tweets about this situation shame i can't read them
I cannot stress enough to Tumblr staff that they do not need to change the site. Do not try to be like Twitter. Do not try to be like Reddit. Do not alter how this site works.
Tumblr will be the most popular social media site if they continue letting all these other sites implode
