I hate how people expect me to show humanity to the people who've sacrificed it in pursuit of money, I know there was like one person on there who wasn't an ultra-rich fuck, but hundreds of homeless people starve to death every day so it's hard to care. Maybe that's what the capitalists want, for me to let myself fade into apathy due to my obvious inability to meaningfully change the world for the better. I sometimes feel like if I really tried to help people, to change things, that I would be murdered by the government.
Honestly? I love this, this is great. This is my new favorite line to use when interacting with strangers online.

Hello! I'm going to teach you how to get whatever cursor you want.
First, figure out what you want as a cursor. I'm going to be changing mine to a Skyrim mouse.
So first you get a picture of whatever you want, as clean as possible:
Open your favorite art program and clean it up, then save as a png:
Then go here and convert it to a .cur file. Make sure there's no gap between the corner of the arrow and the corner of the png.
Next you go to Control Panel:
Select Mouse from the list:
Then go to the Pointers tab and pick whichever mouse cursor you want to replace.
Click "Browse..." and find the .cur file you made earlier:
And voila! I now have a Skyrim cursor.
You may have to tinker with the size a bit to get the point to be accurate. If that happens, just resize your png and convert to .cur again.
Happy customization!

So the really fabulous thing about this is that while there’s two basic theories about how the seals get an eel up their nose, there are also problems with both of them. The first is that the seal is shoving its head in holes in the rocks and the eel panics and goes for what looks like a hole—ie a seal nostril. And that would be a great theory, except that seals have what are described as “extremely muscular nostrils” because they gotta slam them closed when diving to keep water out.
Which, okay, fine, except that there’s often like two, three feet of eel INSIDE THE SEAL. The stuff hanging out is just the end of the tail. And eels are astonishingly powerful for their size, true, but so are seal nostrils. (Why am I typing these words? How did my life come to this?)
The other theory, of course, is that they barfed up an eel and it came out their nose instead, but we’re talking a fairly impressive feat that the eel lined up just right to come out the nostrils, and also those are BIG eels. It’d be kinda like a human puking a spear of asparagus out of their nose. (Why am I typing THESE words, too? Why?)
The remaining theory, which is actually the one ascribed to by the lead scientist on the endangered monk seal project, is that dumb teenage seals are snorting eels at each other for fun. And y’know…I just…sure. We live in a world where that wouldn’t even be the tenth strangest thing I’ve heard about mammals.
In conclusion, if any young monk seals are following me, Just Say No To Eel.
Holy shit, that's hilarious!
For a second I didn’t realize it meant “high” as in a stoner–I thought “High Geologist” was like a rank of geologist or something and he was insulted you would challenge him to naming stones

Books are being banned and removed from library shelves. This is a very bad thing. I was one of the authors who protested. I would have protested even if my book hadn't have been one of the books banned.
Don’t challenge Death to a pillow fight
Unless you’re prepared for the reaper cushions.
i've seen enough horror movies starring upper-middle-income white families stuck in spacious haunted mansions. gimme stories about millennials stuck in haunted studio apartments. consider the realism:
why is this protagonist staying in an obviously haunted building despite the glaring warning signs? because a week at a motel would send them spiraling into credit card debt, they'll take their chances with the vengeful spirits. why did they chose this apartment complex to begin with, despite the many many unexplained mysterious deaths that show up on the first page of a google search? hon some of us don't have the credit score to move away from high (paranormal) crime areas. how could i be so careless as to sign a soul-binding contract with a demonic entity? bitch they're called LANDLORDS

A Guide For New Users Fleeing From Twitter, From A User Who Needed One When They First Started:
Hi to everyone fleeing from twitter, Elon Musk is shit and he already has had an actively harmful effect on the site, one that will only get worse. So, welcome to Tumblr, it can be kind of intimidating, given its reputation and how many different features there are, I was certainly confused and intimidated when I first logged on and as I’m active on both I sympathise with y’all, so here’s a guide to anyone new:
- Put your hashtags in the hashtag section. This is the only way they’ll actually have any sort of effect, or appear when you search for something. Don’t post them on the post itself.
- There is a character limit for hashtags and a quite high hashtag limit. Go wild. Writing entire speeches is common.
- Don’t tag lots of unrelated stuff to your posts, that’ll get you reported for Spam and just hated in general
- Don’t censor words, users are fine with swearing, doing so especially with triggering content makes it hard for people to limit their exposure to said triggering content.
- There’s no such thing as ratioing.
- We don’t have quote retweeting, every reblog, comment, etc counts to op’s post. They can see it all, and will be notified depending on their notification settings.
- Change your icon, people will think you’re a bot if you use the default.
- Give yourself a bio, it’ll make you look like a person.
- Follow people and tags, that’s the only way you’re gonna see the content you wanna see. The foryoupage isn’t to be trusted.
- Actually reblog stuff, liking has no effect, reblogging is the only important thing here as there is no like based algorithm. Doing so will also make you appear human.
- You can hide your likes and who you’re following. Doing so is not frowned upon in the slightest.
- You can block tags, similarly to muting words on twitter.
- You can have multiple blogs tied to one account.
- You can customise your blog, go wild.
- There is no word limit, you can write as you want. But if it gets too long make use of the keep reading feature, (the three dots beside the add gif feature)
- There is an image limit of thirty, up from the former ten, though for some they may be stuck at only using ten, tumblr is kinda inconsistent. If you want to add more you’ll have to reblog your own post.
- There is no reblogging limit when it comes to a post, though there is a daily posting limit, go wild, only your followers will be upset.
- You can have videos, gifs and pictures in the same post.
- You can just post audio.
- Adult content is still banned, but actual moderation and enforcement is spotty, especially if it’s written.
- Spam liking and reblogging isn’t a thing. Go wild.
- You have an ask box that people can submit stuff to. You can respond or just delete the post. You can remove anon capability from it (which will get rid of most of the hate), or outright bar it.
- You can’t private your account but you can restrict commenting and reblogging. Edit: I’ve been informed that you can in fact make your blog password protected, it’s just that it’s a rarely done thing and not widely known.
- Block whoever and whenever, it’s not a big deal. Though if someone you’ve blocked has reblogged and added to a post and someone you follow reblogs that, their commentary will still be included in the post you see.
- We don’t have muting, only blocking.
- Yes, direct messaging is a thing (it’s the little smiley face)
- The only way to promote your is through ‘tumblr blaze’, you pay a certain amount of money and your post will be promoted, but not targeted, so no invasions of privacy. You are subject to the employee’s whims on whether or not it gets promoted and unfortunately hate speech has been allowed.
- Tumblr has tendency to hide/consume comments, posts and asks, don’t be surprised if they go missing.
- Tumblr searching a blog relies on tags, words in the post and the users name, keep that in mind.
- Posts will remain after you delete your account or the original post if they have been reblogged.
- Years old posts are still circulating and that is considered normal.
- You can queue up posts to be released when you’re not using your account. Or you can just post whenever you’re active. Go wild.
- Wizards exist and are very popular on this site. Accept it.
- There are posts with no notes that will never gain any more than a sing note for your like. Accept it.
- There are posts will no op. Accept it.
- Trans and autistic people dominate this site.
- Don’t get pissy when someone tags a post ‘tw (insert slur)’, or any trigger warning for that matter, most are just being considerate of their followers who may be triggered by such content.
- Twitter discourse is regularly mocked, it’s not gonna fly here.
- No, we don’t call each other oomfs, or anything like that. We just have mutuals.
- Tumblr in general lacks a lot colloquialisms that began on twitter.
- We do have ‘blorbo’ ‘poor little meow meow’ etc.
- Trying to go viral or trying to corporate is frowned upon.
- Tumblr has a tendency to blacklist things tagged like ‘crowdfunding’ so bring that kind of logic you use for twitter posts over to tumblr.
- We don’t have twitter circles, co-posting, etc.
- Tumblr is surprisingly good at recommending blogs.
- There are no verified accounts, and your follower count isn’t visible. This is a good thing, trying to change it will get you laughed at.
- People are going to just make up stuff, don’t believe everything you see and if it’s a claim about someone, investigate it rather than just believe it.
- You can edit your posts after you’ve posted them, but the versions reblogged before said changes will still circulate. This editing of the original has been used as a spruce of comedy
- If your worried about people seeing your potentially triggering, or even graphic content and they haven’t blocked the tags you’ve used you can use the keeping reading feature to put the content under the cut and post a warning at the top.
And this is quite important:
- Stay anonymous and have fun. There isn’t an expectation to constantly expose inner details of your life, you aren’t expected to use your real face, your real name, age, etc. You’re not even expected to be truthful here. Exist however you wanna exist and have fun, that should be the point of social media.
Also keep in mind that tumblr has its own distinct culture that is going to take some getting used to. As well as a history any user who’s been here a while will at least somewhat understand.
Also I’ll be editing the post with additional info and corrections provided to me.
