I guess we can’t have nice things 

tired of people trying to explain why netflix is dying with graphs and economic data and statistics and shit. the REAL reason netflix is dying is because they cancelled julie and the phantoms.

call down the hawk, maggie stiefvater / the invisible life of addie larue, v.e. schwab / subcomandante marcos / initial meeting, n.m. sanchez / the critic as artist, oscar wilde / rebecca, daphne du maurier / imagine, john lennon / the invisible life of addie larue, v.e. schwab

I haven’t been on tumblr for quite as long as a lot of people but over several years I’ve noticed this interesting gradual sorta,, shift in the general culture? that it went from this mostly depressed, nihilistic outlook where people would regularly joke about hating themselves and being hopeless and depressed, to a wave of vehemence of “STOP hating everything actually the world is Good and you deserve love!!!” type posts, to now, where those aggressive ‘PSAs’ have faded away and instead I regularly see people romanticizing simple things like stars and hot tea and rainy mornings, and waxing poetic about their friends, and just trying to put love out there. and I don’t know exactly what that means (someone who knows more than me could probably say something smart about generational expression and trauma or popular perception of mental health and whatnot), but I do know that it makes my heart very full to see people learn to love the world and themselves by extension, and a whole userbase adopting healthier coping mechanisms, and therefore teaching the younger users to do so as well. I might just be following different people, but I really do think we’ve grown. everyone has grown. five years ago it wasn’t unusual for the next post on my dash to be a scathing commentary on why nothing matters or an anon ripping into someone they barely knew or someone complaining about how pathetic their interests are. now I have mutuals who get excited and spam reblog art of cows and friends I see tagging each other in pictures of frogs and strangers writing paragraphs about how much I matter. it makes me happy. idk. just an observation I wanted to make. I think people are good and everyone’s just trying their best at the end of the day

I take it all back everyone on this site is toxic

trying not to think too hard about how gen z/gen alpha casually use leet speak but when millennials used it it was because it was cool and internet age slang, and when gen z and alpha use it its because they need to get past censorship restrictions that would cause their videos on LBGT and civil rights to be algorithmically hidden.

or about how people use terms like "real life game over" and "unalive" to avoid saying death out loud because video streaming services apparently suppress videos with negative language. we are literally living in an era that was theorised by many states of fiction about a high surveillance cyberpunk reality...

This is so wholesome

Update: he finally got the cat to the vet to see if she had a microchip

I was already on board with his sweet wholesome open-to-love-and-nurturing heart but I was fully unprepared for getting to that last tweet and seeing how off the hook HOT dude is

https://twitter.com/pariszarcilla?lang=en heres his twitter is here there is also additonal cat photos of his children. 

CAT DAD IS BACK

HHHHHHHH I LOVE CAT DAD!

This is, by far, the single most adorable fucking thing I have ever seen. 

update:

I love that he kept …. All of them.

I’ve reblogged the earlier part of this thread before, and the new stuff makes it even better.

This is the Tumblr equivalent of a warm hug on a cold day.

You’re welcome.

I remember this thread, but I never saw the grown-up pics ❤

@every-n-anything

All hail Catdad

I saw Catdad for the first time today, and my day instantly became exponentially better.

I’M CRYING!?

CATDAD HAS REVIVED MY WILL TO LIVE

Cat dad has saved us all

CAT DAD!!

He’s got more recent pictures (and is also an INCREDIBLE artist), but this is the fam circa May 2020 :>

@lokithegenderstealer

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: that hotline is forvo.com. It’s a pronunciation dictionary that allows you type in a word and see how it’s pronounced. They have multiple languages as well. Don’t see a word on there that you know how to pronounce? You can totally add it. Visit forvo. Help yourself.

that is much better than a hotline because you don’t have to actually talk to someone

tumblr ask me about mlm skeletons

I’m asking

your co-operation is noted and will count in your favor when the Great Tally arrives. Presenting:

straight skeletons

straight skeletons

gay skeletons

three seemingly-similar wikipedia articles, and yet:

(this post is part of a series critiquing biased wikipedia writing. you can request more on ko-fi)

TLDR

*male & female skeleton found in grave*

archeologists: “this is LITERALLY Romeo and Juliet. she died of a broken heart. i am in TEARS”

*male & female skeleton found in grave*

archeologists: “holy shit ya’ll they are SPOONING. they are SPOONING and the boy is the big spoon just as jesus intended.”

*male & male skeleton found in grave*

archeologists: it’s problematic to romanticize these things

The first couple held hands -> love

The second couple was spooning -> love

The third couple was apparently kissing, a hand on the cheek -> no homo though

and they were tombmates

oh my god they were tombmates

“and there was only one tomb”

I can’t help making bad posts, it’s in my

Jenes

sssh.....theyre sharing a tender moment

:v) :^)

Why does one have a way larger nose?

That’s just how some people are

do people actually read books while in the bathtub

how do you not get everything wet

why is this making me laugh so fucking hard

THANK YOU FOR ADDING A VISUAL OMG
