I want to thank all the gif-makers of tumblr for allowing me to experience all of the best, funniest, hottest, most poignant, most romantic, most intensely heart-tugging moments of shows that I will absolutely never watch.

y’all want some cool, muslim-made, modest fashion ideas for your hijabi characters?

absolutely nobody asked but here, have them anyway (all via the Islamic Fashion Institute):

me: i don’t want to see jellyfish so i will blacklist the tag #jellyfish

people with no common sense: je11yf1sh, je11¥fi5h, j*llyf*sh, je//ÿf!sh, j3ï||yf¡sh, gel lee fisk

result: cannot account for the sheer amount of possible ways to alter the word jellyfish

conclusion: i have to see jellyfish now.

Once again, tumblr is not tiktok, tag properly.

this heavily extends to tagging crucial things like "flashing," "flickering," and even "strobing"!

please dont tag flashing (or any of the above) as 'fl*shing,' 'fl4sh1ng,' 'flashing /' or 'flashing tw' or any variant of! just tag it as 'flashing'!

By editing crucial tags like above ^ filters will not reliably blacklist gifsets/videos/images that can cause photosensitive individuals serious harm.

you never know who of your followers is epileptic or photosensitive, please do us the kindness of letting us curate our online experiences :,3

William Morris Wallpapers

"alas" is a truly S tier english word. fantastic mouthfeel, makes me sound like a world-weary wizard, looks cool when written out. good job to whoever created this word.

so glad this one resonated

you know i don’t think we often talk about how difficult it actually is to suddenly realize that a belief you thought was good and moral and correct was actually really fucking toxic. how you have to look at something and go ‘oh shit, oh i fucked up. oh this is going to take probably years at minimum to deprogram from my brain because of all the little ways this shit pervaded the rest of my beliefs’

so. to all the people picking up all the pieces of a recently shattered world-view and trying to figure out what is safe to keep and what has to be thrown away and started over

to all the people having to relearn how to even listen to other people

to all the people putting in the work to do better while struggling with the guilt that comes from finding out you were the asshole

i’m proud of y’all.

it’s hard to admit being wrong and even harder to change in the aftermath. just keep doing the best you can and just know that the effort is appreciated. everyone can change. everyone can do better. keep fighting.

just a reminder that there’s so much more that we still don’t know about ourselves and that’s what makes life so beautiful. next year you could find your next favorite musician or fall in love with someone you haven’t even met yet. you might see a new shade of green that will become your new favorite color or you could become obsessed with a new food that you thought you once hated. we change as life goes on. we grow as life changes. our experiences shape us into a new person. it’s beautiful.

I wish the distrust of expertise was more "I can see how institutional biases and structural problems have led experts to be inaccurate at times; I will be more careful in evaluating my sources" and less "I can see how institutional biases and structural problems have led experts to be inaccurate at times; I'm the expert now."

On Feanor's Distrust of the Valar

Fëanor’s rebellion against the Valar is interesting to me not because it happens, but because it doesn’t happen sooner. 

One might expect that he would have hated and distrusted the Valar from the minute the Statute of Finwë and Miriel was handed down, ensuring that his mother would be condemned to the Halls for all eternity. And yet we’re told that shortly after his father’s remarriage, he takes an apprenticeship with Aulë and marries someone from among the servants of Aulë; we’re told that his third son is close in friendship with Oromë. Obviously, while the Statute made Fëanor bitter it didn’t turn him against the Valar entirely and he still respected them, wanted to learn from them, and permitted his children to do the same. 

So when did that change?

I think it changed with the pardon of Melkor.
