my friend just told me that there's a secret second dashboard that solely contains posts from people you've turned on post notifications for, and when i click the link in the messages it opens it within the tumblr app, so the tumblr app also has a secret second dashboard for post notification blogs, and the only way to access it is to open the link for it within the app.
i literally love tumblr

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT
This relationship is so important to me, there are so many things to say about Aang and Sokka
Fun fact of the day
christopher robin: I can't, the new tiger you got me for christmas has completely thrown off the dynamics of the group and the fascist rabbit is plotting to have him exiled
Wow. Talk about attention to detail.
I will probably reblog this every time I see it on my dash because it’s absolutely stunning
This is literally insane. How did you have the patience. Tell me your secrets o’ art god.
ok!!! :0
Part of me is like “neat. Reblog,” and part of me is like “I understand now why impressionism took off, because there’s a 0% chance the artist wasn’t like ‘fuck this shit’ by the halfway point.”
Just the complete opposite of satisfying anime food.
I do think it's pretty funny that fanfic premises based on illegitimate kids as an excuse for crossovers over the years have gone from "Mom character CHEATED on Dad character 😡" to "once upon a time, mommy and daddy had a threesome and now we have YOU!" lmaoooo. People don't want marital discord they just want a third parent
This post is "three parents living happily in one house" erasure smh
Only two parents? In *this* economy?
I love this post. I LOVE this post. When I was in Kindergarten, my teacher wanted to show my family a drawing we were supposed to do if our parents or family members (something like that). At that time, I was living in the house with my mother, my aunt, my grandparents, and my dad would visit sometimes on the weekend. As a baby, my mom was involved with a gay man who even after he came out stayed close with the family (there’s tons of pictures of him holding me as a baby). Anyway, they showed the picture I drew, where I told my teacher I had FIVE PARENTS.
I was an only child, but I was never lonely. My aunt was like the cool big sister, my grandpa pushed me on the swing and taught me about yardwork and exposed me to classic musicals, my grandma is the reason I can cook and bake.
It doesn’t matter how they get there: more people in your child’s life is a good thing.
Fast forward to when I am 15. My grandparents adopt me. My aunt legally becomes my sister, her children legally become my niece and nephew, my grandfather, almost near retirement, gets to joke around with his office that he has a teenager at home and she’s accomplishing xyz insert whatever activity they were keeping me busy with. My grandparents wouldn’t have it any other way.
You know who “gave me away” at my wedding? Six different people all in unison agreeing to help me and my husband on our journey.
I had TWO father/daughter dances that night. No one batted an eye.
More people doesn’t make your kid’s life complicated. It makes it better, I promise. It takes a village. Whether that village comes about organically, legally, through marriage, or polyamory.
I didn't initially tap this post as good poly rep (you can tell it was my second thought), but I am always of the opinion that you can have as many parents in your life as are there are people willing to raise you. There is no such thing as 'replacing a rightful role'; there are only people who love you and are willing to put the time in to be there for you, and your willingness to receive them. Likewise, I imagine, come partners and children.
Thank you for adding your experience.
Extremely validated that someone else also assumed there was just a talking computer monitor in their house and they just lived like that
PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH (2022)
The abandoned child you’ve taken in sleeps on your lap as the god who gave you immortality softly warns you. “This will hurt.”
“I know.” You say, calmly as you stroke the child’s matted hair. You can wash and brush it in the morning. “It hurt with Elise, with Jacob, and Ashanti and Matteo and Joy and Margaret and all the names I have on my skin. But I’ve learned how to heal, how to grieve and move on.” You turn to it. “Maybe you should too.”
If you genuinely, truly, absolutely, cannot bring yourself to vote for the president of the united states, please just show up for elections anyway and vote for your congresspeople and local representatives.
Please.
Just.
If you cannot bring yourself to vote for the president because he's so disgusting of a candidate you morally cannot bring yourself to cross that line, then PLEASE vote for your congresspeople and local representatives who can block, defend, or present new bills, actions, acts, etc.
These are the people who can actually confirm or deny or impede horrendous acts when they happen.
Like. This is the bare minimum. If you cannot vote for the President, please just still vote for someone.
Change doesn't happen if you don't vote for the people willing to enact change.
The "smaller" elections often have the biggest impact on your actual life. Everything starts local and works its way outward, not the other way around. Every time a judge lets a cop off the hook for killing an unarmed person? You can vote those judges out. Those anti-queer laws in your home state? You can vote out the governor. Hate seeing your taxes raised for the sake of more cops while the schools and the roads go to shit? You can vote on those tax bills. "Blue" states aren't safer just because of who they vote for as president. It's because they voted for better governors, better judges, better laws.
You gotta do it, because fuckhead old conservatives are doing it. They've got bad ideas and they're willing to make them your problem. Your single vote might not count for much in the presidential election, but it absolutely has an impact on who is in charge in your particular town.
Your vote in a schoolboard election can mean the difference between electing someone who thinks public schools are good versus someone who reps Moms For Liberty and not so secretly wants to burn books that make them feel icky.
Part of why the regressive bigots of the right wing have had their way is because they work at the local level, and have traditionally seen minimal actual pushback because so much attention is placed on the highest offices. There's actually so few of them, they literally ship the same handful of people across state lines for their shitty little bigot cry-fests, and more and more we're seeing that they shrivel and run away at any show of opposing numbers in local school boards and parents' meetings.
There's more of us than there are of them. Time to remind them of that on a fundamental level.
