today on the train home the guy next to me was on his phone and at one point i saw him go on tumblr and he just had like. a normie dash. like it was all photography. of nature and architecture. he was using tumblr the way a heterosexual landscaper for rich people might use instagram. i actually had to watch his screen for a few seconds to be sure it really was tumblr because i was so taken aback by the content he was viewing. this is why algorithmless websites are so beautiful btw because i genuinely didn't know that this side of tumblr even existed. he didn't even so much as scroll past any text posts.

Y’ever read something and have understanding that has eluded you interminably suddenly stop, curl up, and snuggle neatly into a fold in your brain because a new way way opened to it?

I've seen this passed around a few times, and I have one thing to say:

It's online. The book was carefully and wonderfully recreated online by hand. You can find it here. The entire book is this easy.

We never should have allowed skyscrapers to become twinks

Amtrak what do you mean

This absolute fucking elitist bitch of a tower is a fucking twink and all of you know it

All I want is for the death if that fucking building and every wealthy millionaire in it. Is that really so bad. Plus is an ugly building with no heart or soul or care put into it.

I mean let's compare that monstrosity above to an actually good building, The Tribune Tower. I mean look at her

She's got it all:

  • A river view
  • Stone and terraccota
  • Depth
  • A use that serves the people and not the elites
  • Contributes to the surrounding area
  • Has a cool topper thingy
  • Has a plaza beside it
  • You can go on the top
  • No unnecessary holes in her
  • Looks like a castle
  • Isn't in New York

What more could you want from a tower and she is actually a real physical thing and not a fucking twig

That fucking atrocity up there has over 10 stories of empty floors for no reason than to be holes for wind to pass through because the fucking developers on the fucking twink of a tower wanted as tall a tower as possible on their tiny lot to cater to the richest most evil and decadent members of our society. If we need a new symbol of capitalistic evil and greed, 432 Park Avenue is it.

For fucks sake even if you're into the tall and slender look the Chrysler building's got you covered

this isn't the best picture but you get it. The shape language. The intricacy. The actual EFFORT put into designing this thing. I don't know basically anything about this building's history but holy shit, just raw looks? Miles ahead of 432. Empire state can suck it.

Like yes, this is a twink, but it's a twink in drag and I think that's worth celebrating. That big ass rectangle? That's just a basic bitch in jorts and a graphic T-shirt.

You understand me like no one else could

daily fucking reminder that you are allowed to want attention and that does not make you a bad person.

in case no one’s told you in a while. you are valid.

attention is not just nice; it’s a basic human need. humans need positive attention. they need it like they need sleep, or clothes, or shelter. when humans only receive negative attention - or no attention at all - it hurts them. breaks them over time. and, like a starving person stealing food out of desperation, a person starved of positive attention will do drastic things in order to get the attention they are lacking. it’s pretty easy to get annoyed at someone who is clearly trying to steer attention towards themselves. but maybe it will help you not be so quick to judge or get annoyed at them if you can stop yourself and say “maybe they’re just not getting the positive attention they need”. it doesn’t mean you have to be the person to provide that attention; it just gives you a mechanism to defend yourself from hating someone needlessly. and maybe it will even help you get in touch with your own need for attention, as well. good things will come from that.

Treat anything on Discord as media that will be lost

Do not use Discord to host your files. Do not rely on Discord to preserve your text. DO NOT RELY ON DISCORD FOR ANY KIND OF PRESERVATION OR HOSTING!!

It CAN be lost, it WILL be lost! You must consider Discord as a part of the Core Internet, controlled by one company that hosts the servers.

I thought it was impressive at first that it replaced IRC, but now I am horrified. If the company behind Discord went under today, how many friends would you lose?

How many relationships? How much writing?

You may think this won't happen, but I remember when AIM went down and along with it, entire novels worth of interaction with my oldest friend.

IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. NO COMPANY IS INFALLIBLE.

Back up your files! Download anything you've saved to Discord NOW, before the API changes go into effect! And DO NOT RELY ON THEM FOR HOLDING IMPORTANT FILES!

Here is a program that lets you download any and all of your discord DMs, your servers, everything. You can set the format (raw text, html (dark and light), and others. You can even download the uploaded files not just the text, though that may be just for the command-line version not the GUI window version.

Please back up your conversations, your stories. I have a backup of everything I care about that runs once a week, with full attachment backups every several months. I write stories on discord, and would be devastated if someone happened to them. You have to have your own local copies of every file you care about.

what the fuck is going on this year. january through june didnt happen. july is a distant memory. august and september were the longest months of my life. october ended in 5 seconds. why is november here already this isn’t right

It's the season erosion from the climate crisis, combined with a hyperindividualistic and stress-bound society. It warps your sense of time.

awesome. how do i stop all that though

Not sure if this is a vent post or if you want genuine advice so feel free to ignore this but:

You should throw more parties. There is this anthropology theory that a healthy society has 8 major celebrations through the year (start of each season and 4 in between those), but through a combination of things (capitalism, secularisation, etc) we lost most of them. This is one of the reasons why halloween has become so popular in Europe: we desperately need a party between summer vacation and Christmas and nobody celebrates all saints anymore.

I'm not saying we should return to the Christian holidays, but you should go and find some memorable moments through the year, get together with some friends, and celebrate them! Are you into space? Celebrate the moon landing and laika! Are you into witchcraft? Celebrate the solstices! Did you friend did something funny one day that you all still talk about? Celebrate that day! Give every month its own party and celebrate it with friends, so that when everything becomes a blur of stress and misery you have those dates to track the passage of time with!
