The old school lack of transparency on tumblr is amazing because you assume the people you follow must all be equivalent to you and then you see someone write “I brought my youngest to college today” and someone else write “my mom wouldn’t let me listen to Ariana Grande when I was a kid” and then your head explodes

and we need that! keeps us humble. 

Then I'm just like WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE AN ADULT

It goes the other way, too, because WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE A CHILD?!!

I'm 16, that's like, barely a child

I'm in my 30s. You are baby

I'm older than both of you in a trenchcoat.

honestly one of the best things we can do for ourselves is realize that people of different ages than us can still be the same kind of person as us. it's humbling and it gives everyone involved a sense of continuity, and it busts those stupid generational stereotypes media is so fond of.

A few years back, Spockslash, a 79 year old grandmother who was part of the first generation of slashfic writers, used to post here. She died of cancer and her son posted one last time to let us all know she had passed away and how much she had enjoyed being on Tumblr.

I have been here for nearly 10 years now and I was in my mid 40's then.

My youngest child got on Tumblr when they were 11.

No one knows how old you are on Tumblr unless you tell them and I think that is very cash money of Tumblr.

data needs some personal matinence sometimes. or something

Catch me on Ao3 promoting unsafe sex, huge age gaps, adultery, and blasphemy.

harrow (lying) saying she doesn't even remember about gideon most of the time 💀 way to doom yourself 👍

7th most dangerous ape and/or monkey

There is a hilarious unsaid implication in that only the English translation tells you not to fight it. The Chinese one only says “Wild monkeys ahead, absolutely to not feed.”

It’s practically 2014 and you guys still don’t know how to google if an article is real or not before giving it 100,000 notes

One of the most helpful things I've learned to do with ADHD is when I need to start a task, I don't think "I need to do this task" I think "I need to do (first step of task)".

I don't tell myself "I need to wash the dishes piling up in the sink." I tell myself "I need to get the scrub brush and turn on the facuet." That's easy, so I do it and bam, I've started the task.

"I need to brush my teeth" -> "I need to get my toothbrush wet and put toothpaste on it."

"I need to write this essay" -> "I need to pull up the assignment guidelines and open a word doc."

"I need to go to the store." -> "I need to put on my shoes."

Tasks are easily overwhelming when you constantly think about them in their entirety, so picking the most immediate part you need to so and only focusing/doing that helps to get you to start it with less anexity & stress.

An artist friend (her name is SARK, her books are delightful) calls that, "micromovements". The smallest possible thing you can do towards completing some task.

I do this all the time, because I need tasks visible so I can remember to complete them. Does annoy my roommate, unfortunately, but we usually can work around that.
