Me when I thought I was straight: I’m not really interested in dating like I guess having a boyfriend would be nice but it’s not something I’m really interested in I’m just focusing on school
Me now that I know I’m a lesbian: I WANT A FUCKING WIFE

know what I hate? how uni’s have all of these “de-stress events” and preaching about mental health around exams but don’t actual want to fucking do anything about the shitty system of education they’ve created that literally makes kids have anxiety attacks and suicidal thoughts. yes education should be challenging, but it should not compromise your wellbeing for it. it’s like saying “yeah we realize the system is horrible, but here have free hot chocolate, it’ll make everything better”. the education system is flawed and broken and they know it, but they could care less.
Made my day.
All I want is a cat that’ll want to cuddle me this much.
I notice people have been looking for candy d&d dice lately, and there’s a shop on etsy that not only does this, but they do them with glitter!!
So, you know, if you roll a 1 you can just eat it.
The shop is based in germany, for those wondering.
Holy shit I want to not tell my group that they’re edible and when I make a bad roll just fucking eat it.

this random facebook comment just summed up my political alignment

while the moon sign may reflect direct influences on the native during childhood, it can also represent a lack of some kind which shapes their needs as they age. this may be an alternative upbringing instead of the obvious interpretation
note, to clarify: the native themselves didn’t necessarily “lack” anything, their childhood environment or the people surrounding them did
MOON IN ARIES lacked recognition, reward, profound excitement, spontaneity, or fulfilling risks in their childhood which creates a deep need to out-perform others in order to solidify their worth and individuality; there may have been a consistent absence of stimulation in their environment so that they now seek thrilling unfamiliar experiences (or foster an uncomfortable fear of such). They didn’t feel safe in their identity so now the instincts support the survival of ego.
MOON IN TAURUS lacked material comfort, personal space, luxury, security, or physical affection in their childhood which creates a deep need to acquire their own worldly possessions, wealth, and general abundance in their adult life. They may have “expensive tastes” now because they often “went without” in their youth. There is also a tender longing for sensuality, romance, and sweetness to make up for physical coldness, distance, or lack of attention from the parent(s).
MOON IN GEMINI lacked definitive proof / adequate rationale, communication, and intellectual fulfillment in their childhood which creates a deep need to glean answers out of the world around them; they have to make sense of life or they become anxious. They may have felt invisible and unheard, so now they speak more (or less) than their fair share because they don’t think others listen or care. They constantly felt misunderstood as a kid, so they’re inclined to over-explain.
MOON IN CANCER lacked tenderness, security, emotional attention, or gentle nurturance in their childhood which creates a deep need to either over-protect their emotions or force vulnerable, intimate relationships; they were deprived of true inner safety so now they obsess over it, over-share, cling to those they love and demand the affection & care they require. They can also become repressive and withdrawn, repeating their parents’ neglect and possibly becoming cold.
MOON IN LEO lacked heartfelt praise, attention, encouragement, or creative outlets in their childhood which creates a deep need to dominate the spotlight & remain the focal point (or they have a strong aversion to this & avoid it). Insecurities/nervousness are significant issues that are hard to cope with, and they need cathartic emotional expression (often through art) & positive feedback or they quickly become overwhelmed with self-doubt and feel trapped inside.
MOON IN VIRGO lacked support, guidance, mature & just reasoning, and stable improvement in their childhood which creates a deep need to become their own parent and independently steer themselves toward continual progress. They don’t feel like others are capable of helping them so they have an aversion to asking for it. The immense pressures they felt in their youth to make things run smoothly & achieve success by themselves persist (painfully) in adulthood.
MOON IN LIBRA lacked compromise, interpersonal harmony, and acceptance in their childhood which creates a deep need to perpetually undermine their own desires & emotions to keep others comfortable, consistently making sacrifices so loved ones don’t have to. Their identity may have been shunned, criticized, or judged in their youth, so now they feel like they have to keep things unique to them private & only share what others relate to, to conform to the social climate.
MOON IN SCORPIO lacked honesty, protection, validation, and healing in their childhood which creates a deep need to defend themselves from any external stimuli (person or situation) which they don’t know inside-out; they are highly suspicious because they felt lied to in their youth. They weren’t taught how to cope with or process emotions in a healthy way, so they develop negative patterns of thought and behavior which can become self-destructive.
MOON IN SAGITTARIUS lacked profundity, adventure, personal liberty, and truth in their childhood which creates a deep need to explore the world on their own, live without limitation, and discover the meaning of things independently. They strongly reject the realities other people try to force them to live in and avoid being tied down to anything that stifles or confines their expansive psyche for a fear of returning to the draining stagnation they experienced as a kid.
MOON IN CAPRICORN lacked structure, constructive criticism, and respect in their childhood which creates a deep need to force the world around them into a strict order to comfort their anxiety. Constant instability in their youth created a repressive cycle, containing the self to combat their frighteningly un-contained life. They weren’t taught how to gently improve themselves so they seek success & perfection through self-brutalization in pursuit of honor, to be worthy.
MOON IN AQUARIUS lacked forward-thinking, stable logic, and compelling originality in their childhood which creates a deep need to break away from tradition and normalcy, to “stir the pot” and establish an identity unprecedented in their family. They’re determined to invent a new way of life for themselves. There may have been over-emphasis on emotionality which made everything extreme and dramatic, so they disown their feelings to keep level-headed.
MOON IN PISCES lacked compassion, release, kindness, and intuition in their childhood which creates a deep need to manipulate tenderness & support out of their environment, since they had no other way to get it; they may leech it from loved ones for this reason. Emotions were externally suppressed or hidden, so now they require regular catharsis to stay healthy. As a child, they were spiritually & interpersonally uninspired, so now they romanticize to be content.
be christ-like this christmas. gather a crowd and inspire them to anarchism. beat a politician with a whip. help out your local sex workers. preach equality.
When the whole party is down but your bard is up
jack had absolutely no right to go this hard
Jack Black always goes this hard.
OKAY HOMIES
i s2g i leave for like five seconds and the whole website goes even more to shit than it already was
SOOO since we’re apparently banning “”””adult content”””” now (which per my safe mode investigation means… fucking whatever you want it to mean, but ESPECIALLY lgbt content) here’s some other places you can find me:
twitter: @ambitient
insta: @brimminng
pinterest: @mindfuljay
pillowfort: haven’t set it up yet but i’ll let y’all know
ao3 (though i dont actually… post stuff……..its just bookmarks and kudosing people lmao): @levelhearted
probably some other places that I forgot
and if you know me you can DM for my cell number
AAAND
if any of the people following me have, like, lots of followers, maybe reblog that post so it circulates? I’m assuming most people don’t know how to do that and that probably a lot of people would like to in light of the new regs.
i am incredibly tired of my editing application crashing so take this as it is lol
op marry me i watched this twice and i’m still laughing my a-
ahhh.
yourblogname.tumblr.com/day/12/05/2018 still seems to work as does the tagged view on your blog. for now.
instead of the in-house export, try bbolli’s github program, it seems to work fine regardless. Mac OS instructions for the program here if ya need them
Whatever else is happening with Tumblr, I’ve been meaning to backup my stuff for ages. Recently, I found out about the “export” option in settings. However, I am…ah…not all that computer savvy, in this context.
So for those who know how this works, if I export my blog and it downloads as a zip file, that’s just a copy, right? My original blog will still be right here where it was before?
Yep, you’ll still have the original blog :)
Ah, thanks! What I’ll do then is make a backup of everything, and then one day when I get time I can organize everything. Like putting Imperial Problem Child in chronological story order.
Is yours taking a while to do? Because my has been exporting for 30 mins and nothing has changed :(
In the help desk section thing for tumblr it said it would take a while. I assume that’s because it has to compress a couple years worth of posts into a zip or something?
FWIW, I had better results with bbolli’s github program than with the tumblr-internal backup. Mac OS instructions for the program here if ya need them
the worst thing about it is they probably workshopped and debated the phrase “female-presenting nipples” for days on end. there’s probably email chains that are like “re:re:re: nipples?”
at this point I have a tab of ao3, a tab of twitter, and a tab of mastodon open for easy copy/pasting the handles of literally everyone i follow, plus a word doc with a list of pillowfort names to add once they un-crash
is this the new #purgemood y’all?
that’s it! happy tweeting!!
For all my friends jumping ship
I was just semi-complaining that I was still looking for a decent way to backup my +6k posts without having to use paid services or even just wordpress (which has an import from tumblr tool that asks for permission to access your blog and also make posts), when I decided to actually put some effort into my google search.
*By which I mean: everything that I have ever posted. Not included: drafts, queue, likes, followers, following, comments, notes, chat.
I followed this method (word by word), and now have a 450 MB folder on my computer with the name of my blog on it containing:
1. Folder “Archive” (contains .html files listed by month) 2. Folder “Media” (contains gifs and images, mine has +1k files in it; might contain also audios but I have no way of confirming that because I’ve never reblogged an audio post from this blog) 3. Folder “Posts” (contains single .html files, each one a post; I have +4k files in it) 4. Folder “Theme” (contains only my avatar, but it might be a matter of if you have personalized themes or not) 5. .html file “Index” (by opening it it will give you the archive of your blog organized by month; clicking on a month will open up the archive for that month, and you’ll be able to read all the posts for that month as if you were on your blog**, except sans your theme graphic, with each page containing 50 posts)
**I can see gifs, links, embedded videos, tags, number of notes (but I can’t open up the notes, clearly), text is also correctly formatted.
So yeah, in case anyone wants a very quick way to back up their blog, it took me less than 10 minutes.
P.S. I didn’t have any issue, but to be on the safe side always check for spyware and virus threats before and after downloading anything.
this is actually really useful if you have an art blog full of years of work that you otherwise no longer have access to the original files. A lot of the art I have in the early days of my art blog are in that boat. I did this process JUST for that reason and I was pretty astonished at just how many pieces of media it backs up! (literally all of it) Drawings I didn’t even realize were sitting in my archive due to having been posted to text posts or undercuts, or untagged for years! It’s worth it if just for that, even if tumblr isn’t shutting down or deleting your blog.
reference.
IIRC the github guide only goes into details for people running Windows; I had to adapt it slightly for Mac use. my how-to is here for anyone else who wants to back up to a Mac and doesn’t feel like doing it through trial and error the way I did the first time around lmao
