are you telling me americans have stores that open up SPECIFICALLY for halloween and just. dont exist any other time of the year. you people are insane

Imagine an empty storefront. Some business that closed years ago. The building stands empty, unused for literal months. And then boom. Fall comes around and there’s a Spirit Halloween. There’s no escape.

what the fuck 😁

Yeah this is a thing

Are you serious

Yes and they are divine gifts of beauty and cheap plastic lawn decorations.

… I honestly assumed that the existence of Halloween stores was just a running joke in American TV shows.

No they’re very real

Can confirm this phenomenon also occurs in Canada

It’s fun

Oh, it’s a blast.

Wait, so during non-halloween they are just empty? Like, they don’t switch between seasonal decorations (like christmas, easter, etc), they just…close and wait for next year???

Yeah, it’s not a permanent store. A company will rent an empty building for the 2-3 months before halloween, sell halloween stuff, and then clean everything up and disappear until the following year. And they’ll usually set up in different buildings from year to year. They just find any good-sized empty store space that will give them a cheap, short-term lease.

It’s so temporary that the halloween stores don’t even have a real sign, they just hang up a banner outside:

So you’re telling me that every year for a month or two the Spirit of Halloween possesses a dead building then disappears?

that is exactly what we’re telling you

Capitalist in the chat real quiet about this one

C-capitalists? I’m sorry but WHAT about government spending is capitalist? Nothing. The government doesn’t produce or make anything, they don’t participate in capitalism.

I’m so tired of people not knowing the hell capitalism means. Governments cannot be capitalist. Capitalism requires the free market which means that the government isn’t involved.

Wanna blame someone for this? It’s the socialists. They have all their programs and Biden throwing money at things that don’t work.

You are a complete idiot lmfao

To elaborate if you genuinely think our nation is socialist and THATS the problem you have no fucking idea what the word socialism means. You should probably educate yourself on these topics more you look like an actual dipshit

love hozier's social media bc there's absolutely no effort to hide when it's his team posting promotional stuff and when it's him saying any dumb thought crossing his mind

hozier's media team: loved playing here :) thank :)

hozier: if i donated my body to a puppet theatre would that be fucked up or what

Anybody else got like,, rlly random connections to famous ppl?? Like my older brothers were friends w Jennifer Lawrence when they were like 12 and I just found out I’m friends w the cousin of the girl who voiced honey lemon in big hero six like, idk what I’m supposed to do with either of these tid bits I feel like I was supposed to live my life in ignorance of them

the tags on this are so funny because they range from “my neighbor went to school with tom cruise” to “my dad is best friends with macklemore”

I want to be a white dad in a horror movie

Currently moving my brunette wife and our dejected children into an abandoned ghost factory for a fresh start

Honey, don't worry about our daughter's new habit of standing in front of the security camera in her playroom and murmuring about bones every night. That's probably just something women do

Why shouldn't our son play in the pitch black sub-basement that was walled shut with bricks until I started renovations? He's a growing boy

All good things...

We love coming up with new features to make your experience on Tumblr more visceral; when they don’t work out that way, we remove them to make space for new features. Unfortunately, group chats haven’t lived up to our expectations, so we’ll be removing them from Tumblr this month.

Some of you have really leaned into group chats, discussing the merits of various sourdough proofing times, sharing your WIPs with new audiences, and exchanging complicated fan theories on the provenance of Croki.

The majority of you, however, have preferred to have these interactions elsewhere. And so, as we get ready to remove the group chat feature from Tumblr, it’s time to take these conversations to your reblog chains, your replies, and your messages. We’ll leave your chats up until September 22 at 6pm EST. After that, well, the weird will continue to be your oyster.

y’all rly fucked up this time.

this is our fault guys. we were icarus and all those posts about Tumblr being the best social media was us making a bee-line for the sun. we brought this on ourselves. our clown shoes are on fire and we are plunging towards the sea with our red noses honking sadly in the wind.  

Fuck you tumblr for deleting the chats tomorrow.

where's the bring group chats back petition

So tumblr decided to delete group chats? Like woahhhh calm down! Tumblr gc's are the last thread of sanity I'm holding on to. Where do I vent now lawd
