no greater tension than two mutuals who want to talk so badly but are afraid to so they like each other’s post until the end of time

Tumblr is really interesting because you can say something like thursday is duck with a top hat day, and half the website will reblog it
Duck in a Top Hat Thursday, y’all!
Happy Duck in a Top Hat Thursday. OP only has themselves to blame when this has 10,000+ posts and is posted every Thursday.

OH DONT YOU DARE
Oh so we're in hell
I literally can't do this again
Edit: Kesha just released a new album titled Gag Order! Go support her and stream the hell out of it!
characters who are absolutely convinced down to their bones that they are unlovable being subjected to the mortifying ideal of being wholly and unconditionally loved. that’s the good stuff. never get tired of it.
Mutuals I am giving out juice boxes here you go

all of hozier's songs are about love, but i'm not entirely sure if it's the kind of love everyone seems to think it is. i think his love shines out in that he cares for the world and the people in it so much that it can only inspire anger and mourning at how things like capitalism, greed, colonialism, war, homophobia, and racism damage and corrupt them. it's almost like as he points out these deep systemic issues, he has to then turn to the light and praise the things that are good and beautiful as to not let the flame burn out. i think a lot of people may only know him for the high adulations of love presented in many of his ballads, and those are still wonderous, sure, but what interests me far more is his enduring love for the downtrodden and the marginalized, and how he uses language to try and lift them away from the things that oppress them.
List five things that make you happy, then put this in the ask box of the last ten people who reblogged something from you. Spread the positivity!!!
Hey hey!

people love to compliment tiktok's algorithm on how good it is at showing them updates to videos they'd seen in the past but tumblr, man. tumblr doesn't even need an algorithm. it's just a bunch of nosy ass people spreading around the information and it is almost always a reliable system. if i see a post on tuesday the update will come around on my dash by friday without fail
algorithm vs small town gossip
we should bring back the supernatural fandom somehow having an extremely specific gif for literally every occasion though
i know you guys are still out there. i know you still have your .gif folders. don't pretend you're not.
you. you get it.
I bought this expensive ass yogurt as a gift to myself so that I could make little candles in the tiny terracotta pot it comes in and it turns out it is the best, creamiest, most buttery heavenly delicious yogurt I have ever tasted and I’m now addicted
sometimes things that are expensive are worse but sometimes things that are expensive are astronomically better and that’s where the real problem lies
In case no one told you growing up
- Bras last longer if you let them air dry. Don’t put them in the dryer.
- If you have a problem with frizzy hair, don’t dry your hair with a towel. It makes the frizzies worse. (I recently read an article that said to use a t-shirt? I brush mine out and let it air dry.)
- Whites wash best in hot water. Everything else can be in cold - save on your electricity bill.
- You can kill 99.9% of germs in a sponge by putting it in the dishwasher for a cycle or by microwaving it for 2 min (be sure to make the sponge damp before microwaving and to put a cup half full of water in with it and please DO NOT squeeze the sponge until it has cooled off)
- Airing out your room/house and letting sunlight in every so often can decrease the number of household pests like silverfish and ants.
- Black underwear is best during your period as stains are less likely to be visible.
- To save money, put aside 10% of each paycheck into a savings account. It’ll add up.
- Unless your hair has something on/in it (like grease or mud or something), using conditioner first can actually be the better choice. The conditioner holds in the good oils that help you hair look sleek and beautiful, which shampoo would otherwise wash away.
- Speaking of shampoo - if you have long hair, washing just the bits that touch your scalp is generally enough. The rest of your hair gets cleaned with just the run off from your scalp.
- If you put a tampon in and it’s uncomfortable/you can feel it, you didn’t do it quite right. A properly placed tampon is virtually unnoticeable by the wearer.
- Apply deodorant/antiperspirant a couple hours in advance of when you need it. This gives the product the chance to block your sweat glands. Using deodorant just before going somewhere where you’ll sweat (this means walking outside for people in high humidity places) results in your sweat washing the deodorant off and starkly limiting its usefulness.
- After running the dryer, use the dryer sheet from that load to brush out the lint catch - it gets everything off in a fraction of the time it’ll take you to get it clean with your bare hands. Paper towels also work well.
- Wash your face everyday, or as often as possible. Forget which brand of cleanser is best. Just washing your face everyday will guarantee you clearer skin. And do you best not to pop pimples, as tempting as the urge may be.
- Fold laundry asap after taking it from the dryer to avoid wrinkles. This may seem obvious for dress shirts and silly for things like t-shirts, but you’ll notice the difference even then once your shirts stop looking like unfolded paper balls.

To all the kids whose parents couldn’t help you with this kind of stuff
This post literally had me going “Oh shit! My bras are outside!” out loud, so I would add “Take your laundry in after line drying it so that it doesn’t get spiders.”
(I don’t know if there are spiders in my bras. This is now my spouse’s job to find out.)
Was reading this with great enjoyment, and then hit the about airing out your house and misread “silverfish” as “shellfish”. And (on the wings of the mental image the phrase then provoked) did a doubletake that nearly gave me whiplash; then laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe for about thirty seconds.
Thank you, OP. That was blessedly cathartic. :)
Also: I need new glasses AGAIN. (sigh)
