so embarrassing when i forget im checking someone's blog and i start scrolling through and liking and reblogging shit as if it's just my dash. it feels like wandering into someone else's apartment and not noticing and making myself lunch

reblog if i can wander into your apartment (blog) and make myself lunch (like and reblog as if it's my dash)

this is going around twitter rn but im also super curious: please tell me your top four comfort movies that you’re always down to watch bc my friend thinks mine are ridiculous and now we’ve realised everyone’s version of “comfort” is hilariously different

Percy Jackson, we've been expecting you.

First look at Percy Jackson releasing December 20 on Disney+

in honor of barbie movie, i dug my Midge ™ out of my parents’ shed so i could show you all just how she worked if you’ve never witnessed it in action

as you can see, Midge has a magnetic pregnancy belly that contours to her unpregnant body

now inside the pregnancy belly of course is the barbie baby. it comes right out, no vagina to exit through. and if you look closely you can see that her underwear is also painted across the bottom of the belly. there is no mistaking this for a woman with any genitalia. just underwear.

here is the baby within the belly. i don’t think either of these is the correct way a baby should sit in a uterus but do i look like a fucking doctor to you?

the clearly very happy mother and child. and discarded magnetic belly. with underwear band.

unrelated but i also found my louis tomlinson doll

fuck it. pregnant louis tomlinson

I love lying to kids. It's so fun. My coworker's daughter said she speaks 2 languages and I said I spoke 17,000 and she narrowed her eyes at me and was like "... no you don't" and it was the cutest thing.

The last time I saw her I told her I was a "half-magician" that can only do 50% of a trick, and I showed her how I can tear a piece of paper in two but can't make it come back together, and she got soooo annoyed with me. Absolutely adorable. Lying to children is the best

the key to understanding kermit is that line from the original muppet series where lesley anne warren is like "i thought you were the only person here who wasn't crazy" and kermits like "me not crazy? i hired the others" that guy loves chaos. he loves crazy shit, and he loves being the guy who has to handle the crazy shit. he deliberately creates these circumstances! he puts himself in these positions! and then he's like "i cant believe youre making me do this." anyway that frog is more human than any of us

the current tiktok speedrun of Goncharov is so troubling, it's like the same concept but with a forgotten 80s horror, except everyone's really overdone it and the lore and characters weren't built up sensibly and it all started as a marketing scheme for a song anyways?? and everyone's saying the joke isn't funny anymore and this is all within 2 days?? I'm scared idk

if i heard that a woman aborted a fetus because prenatal screening had revealed a disability that i shared, i would simply not shame her

RIP to people who think bodily autonomy is conditional but im different

i’ve been getting a lot of comments/questions about this post. some is good, some is bad. i’ve decided not to respond individually and instead say:

If I believe that everyone should be able to access abortion, at any time, for any reason - and I do! - then that’s also allowing that people may have abortions for reasons I disagree with - and it is none of my fucking business, because it’s not my body.

How would that even work? How could you even enforce that? “Anyone can have an abortion EXCEPT you, because your fetus would be born with a disability”? That’s just nonsensical.

I’m disabled and I’m sick of those anti-bodily autonomy assholes using disabled people as a prop - or those same people using “disabled children” as a euphemism to mean a fetus with fetal abnormalities that are incompatible with life, as a way to prevent people from accessing abortions later in pregnancy.

RIP to people who think bodily autonomy is conditional but I’m different.

No forced pregnancy or forced birth is moral. I don’t care why the force is being applied.

You can advocate for more resources and education so more people are able to care for a disabled child

AND

support complete bodily autonomy and a person’s right to choose in all cases. Even if you personally don’t like it

You can support two things

minotaur costumes from the lion, the witch and the wardrobe

I had an unsavory thought that I won’t share

I’ll share mine. I want him to fuck me so deep you can see his cock pushing out of my stomach

I wish c.s.lewis could see that comment

ah, so we're meta and lying. here for it

Friendly reminder!

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

I feel like a lot of people in the notes don’t really understand this fully.

As a Hawaii resident, and someone who saw this headline and the many others from this same news source, this rubs me the wrong way a bit.

This tweet isn’t necessary wrong, but it’s worded in a way to prioritize outrage, which as I understand it is how Twitter works.

The point is that yes, Hawaii has a problem with the prioritization of tourism, which takes resources away from residents.

But with this particular headline, it’s framing the issue kind of misleadingly.

These tourists are being kicked out so residents have the room and resources to recoup. They’re being moved to Oahu because that’s where the main international airport is, so it’ll be easier for them to leave when there are flights available.

They’re not being given luxury accommodations and allowed to live out their original vacation plans while residents have to just sit in the charred wreckage of their homes. They’re getting kicked the fuck out, as they should be in this situation.

There are resources available for Maui residents right now, including shelters and organizations collecting money specifically for community needs. (Source, source 2, both from the same news outlet that this headline is from)

So, again, it’s like kicking out house guests from your party when you need to deal with a sudden house fire.

Now, what you CAN be outraged about is the need to spend this amount of time and money kicking out house guests from a party during an emergency in addition to saving yourself and loved ones at all, BECAUSE THOSE AREN’T INVITED GUESTS

-they just showed up and started hanging out in your house and eating your food. Sometimes they leave money but usually they just leave trash

-your local HOA has seen this and looooves it because actually they’re getting lots of money out of it, so they start catering towards your uninvited guests and handing out invitations to your awesome house party. Which you didn’t plan or want and would like to stop

-your house is a permanent party house and you can’t even get to work or a quiet minute to yourself

-and now it’s on fire

The point is that, even though these resources need to be used to get tourists out for legitimate reasons right now, a disaster like this in most other states would likely not include a headline about how moving visitors out of the area is a needed priority. (Bc there wouldn’t be as many proportional to the population, except for other obvious tourist-y cities.)

And while there are shelters and other resources for residents right now, by necessity some of those resources are going to tourists, because that’s how things are here.

I’ve seen some people who seem to think that the news agency who wrote the headline is biased or that it’s a wording/framing issue, which I don’t think is the main point here.

I just felt this tweet was more focused on making people angry than actually providing information, although I’m not on Twitter so who knows, maybe there’s a whole thread diving deeper into the issue. But for tumblr, here’s a little more of the story.

Tl;dr: This is a tweet with limited context if you haven’t been following the story; this isn’t a case of tourists taking 100% of the resources leaving none for residents, they are being kicked out so residents can recover. But this extra step would be unnecessary if Hawaii wasn’t so commercialized.

And if you want to help Maui residents, the second source link up there leads to an article listing some orgs that are collecting donations. I’ll put it here again for convenience.
