god only knows.

A brief moment of rationality from the bird place.

2010s Black Tumblr didn't die organically. It was killed. Not just by staff, not just by the porn ban, but by the white userbase as well. Black bloggers were (and still are) being mass-reported and harassed off the platform constantly. White Tumblr users would post gore in problack tags, racefake left and right in Black people's askbox, pick random AAVE to call racist/misogynistic/transphobic, etc then get the Black people who were nice enough to explain what it means to them mass reported for harassment, the list goes on.

#yeah people forget the black community on tumblr was once so visible and massive we had Events#the blackout has p much been forgotten#the popular aesthetic blogs that created things like the art hoe movement are GONE#black tumblr is still here its just suppressed by unbearable whiteness#thats why we all get genuinely annoyed by your silly little polls and posts proclaiming loudly that you dont know donna summer.#or james baldwin#black people had a very active and connected community here once with its own subcultures and we were sundown towned out

wdym an average platonic bond cant be deep and meaningful do none of you remember the power of friendship

i have trust in the people.

been thinking a lot about anticipatory grief lately. i love you so much that i know losing you will devastate me. i haven't lost you yet but i already miss you. we still have time, but it won't be enough. i think about what i would say at your funeral, and say some of it to you now cause i need you to know how loved you are before you go. you will go where i cannot follow, but you will never really leave me. it won't make it hurt less but it is a part of healing somehow.

oh no cigarettes for me thanks i just wanted to be in this dank alleyway with you

If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽

My new favorite excuse for not jumping on new trends or bandwagons is 'I'm 30.' No more explanation needed because anyone under 30 just thinks I'm old and everyone over 30 understands implicitly

That makes it WORSE

worst part about getting angry is how much it makes you want to be mean

sorry i said something dickish. a few mildly frustrating things happened to me in succession and it turned me evil

*crouches to go into stealth*

the cracking of my knees alerts the guards, I am immediately killed

"No one believes me, everyone thinks I'm crazy, and worst of all, you say you're human and EVERYONE takes your word for it!!"

If a worker who isn't the owner says ANYTHING similar to "I'm not really supposed to do this but-" and then does something that helps you, under no circumstances inform the business, including through reviews. You tell them that the worker was polite, professional, the very model of customer service and why you like to go there. You do not breathe a word of the rulebreaking.

i had a dream that "bald man summer" became a thing on this website and people started making edits of walter white and the guy from mythbusters

and with your help, it can become a reality

what hath i wrought

can someone rip the anxiety out of me

I cannot stress enough how important it is to do silly, frivolous things that serve no other purpose than making you happy.

shoutout to friends btw. best thing earth has to offer
