advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like โnow that iโm an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etcโ they donโt mean โand now i donโt care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymoreโ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love
You get bigger so you can store even MORE love and appreciation for the world inside of you
It means you'll be at the antique mall looking at a coffee table and thinking "blorbo and Squimbus would LOVE this coffee table"
General tumblr reminder, since some people don't know: If the person's URL has "deactivated" plus a string of numbers (a date) after it, that means that they manually deleted their own blog. It doesn't mean they were banned. Banned blogs don't have "deactivated" after them and will just be the normal URL you can't click on or interact with. They look very similar and function the same, but they were caused by two very different things.
thats not true i dont think people would do that
Holy fuck I want banjo frog so badly omg
I have a banjo frog watch
okay you canโt just post that without a picture cโmon :0
โNobodyโs going to want to sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours to get from New York City to LA.โ
Me. I will sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours. Iโll sit on it for days. Iโll write and read and nap and eat and then do it all over again. Iโll stare out the windows and see America from ground level and not have to drive. Iโll see the Rockies and the deserts and cornfields and the Mississippi River and your house and yours and yours too. Iโll make up stories in my head about the small towns I see as we go along. Iโll see the states Iโve yet to see because driving or flying there is a fucking slog and expensive to boot. Iโll enjoy the ride as much as the destination. And then Iโll do it all over again to come the fuck home.
So Iโve been slowly learning more about makeup techniques over the last couple years and some things have been hit or miss but this feels like the FIRST video that spoke to me and actually taught me shit I havenโt picked up elsewhere. The face contouring (including hitting the forehead to make it look smaller) spoke to me and THE TIP ABOUT THE FUCKING CHAPSTICK EYESHADOW instead of traditional lipstick is a GAME CHANGER OMG
anyway the actual point of fandom is to inspire each other. reading each other's fics and admiring each other's art and saying wow i love this and i feel something and i want to invoke this in other people, i want to write a sentence that feels like a meteor shower, i want to paint a kiss with such tenderness it makes you ache, i want to create something that someone else somewhere will see it and think oh, i need to do that too, right now. i am embracing being a corny cunt on main to say inspiring each other is one of the things humanity is best at and one of the things fandom is built for and i think that's beautiful
here is what i am trying to say: there are words i use because i read them in someone else's work first. i construct sentences and imagery and metaphors because i was 11, 12, 13 14 15 16 and lonely and depressed and i found books and fics that made me feel so deeply and long for something i couldn't even put a name to, but knew i wanted to encompass and internalize and reflect back. i would copy lines i loved into notebooks and just study them, read them over and over again trying to figure out what could possibly make this string of words so beautiful to me - and if i understood it, maybe i would be able to write beautiful things, too. is there honestly any greater connection to have with people you don't know - people whose lives you've crossed purely in art? the people who inspired me have no idea they did, because i was a kid who hadn't become anything yet, who hadn't uncovered those secrets of how to build anything out of letters, but they shaped me in extraordinary ways.
i've now had the unmeasurable honor of people telling me these things, that i have inspired them and the way they use words to pick apart emotion and language, and i have seen that impact. i've seen people write with echoes of me because they read something and loved it the way i loved when i was younger - with that awe and wonderment and depth of feeling. i've seen phrases of mine, or dialogue, or metaphors, similes, poetry. i've had people ask for advice, or reference me in school work, or get tattoos. do you get the magnitude of that? it's not about ego. it's not that i'm trying to say, look how good i am. i'm trying to say that we all have the power and capability to affect each other through art in the most profound ways imaginable. i'm trying to say that once i was someone who didn't know how to write, and i looked up to people the same way people now look up to me, and it's completely surreal. we don't know each other. but we cross each other's lives and change each other without forethought or knowledge, and those people will go on to change other people, and i think fandom - for all its bullshit - interconnects us in such subtly tangible ways that it's impossible to even know all the people you've touched. but for me, it's something i deeply, deeply cherish about fandom; maybe we've never spoken, and maybe we never will, but for a moment, we were so close together. i wrote something to feel and you felt it. you felt it too.
and me, at 11, 12, 13 14 15 16, is a little less lonely.
i hope you don't mind me adding to this but i totally get what you're saying
i still remember the first fanficiton i read and how it made me feel. i remember thinking 'wow, what if i could do this?' and trying it out once and loving it
i don't know if that writer knows what an impact they had on my life, it was almost 20 years ago now and that one moment, that one fic i read gave me so much - it's the ripple effect of creativity and sharing your heart with someone in fanwork and then they see it, they see parts of themselves in it and they branch out into their own creations that, one day, will inspire someone else
it's why art matters, it's why sharing art matters, you never know how much you might effect another person's life
I resent the inevitable consequences the second law of thermodynamics has on my tea and the entropy of the universe. It always happens too damn soon.
The hell do you mean โuse a tea lightโ youโre telling me those things can be used to heat tea???
Fam Iโve been lied to and deceived
Wait please what are you being told, this has raised many questions about tea lights for me.
Apparently the way youโre supposed to use tea lights is like this
Which no one ever told me is possible or exists and might now become my villain origin story after suffering years of cold tea
I'm sorry they're what
They heat tea. They heat tea because theyโre tea lights. Theyโre named that way because theyโre literally devices to keep your tea warm and somehow no one has ever told me this and theyโre tea lights to heat tea and I might justโ[CENSORED]
Iโm glad weโre all having a normal one today folks
I thought it was because the potpourri is brewed like tea. My mother uses those for potpourri. x.x
Brewing potpourri?? You can do that?? Wtf every day is a school day
That's... what it's made for? You put it in simmering water and that's how it makes the house smell nice?
My mom has a potpourri thing with a tealight and she has a big humidifier that goes on top of the wood stove that you can put potpourri in.
You can donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund for as little as $1.00.
There is a fee you can choose to apply to cover processing.
Which if you choose to do leaves you with a total of ~$1.35 (USD) depending on the type of card you have.
PCRF has a score of 97% on Charity Navigator.
Adults and children alike are currently dying in Palestine due to starvation. (World Health Organization Link)
The Gaza Strip is one of two places in the entire world that is categorized as Phase 5 (the highest phase) on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification scale.
So even if you think it isn't enough, remember that donating even as little as $1.35 helps! It's $1.35 they wouldn't have had otherwise. So donate if you can. ๐ต๐ธ
THESIS: the real reason that people stay on this hellsite is notย โchronological orderโ orย โthe dramaโ or whatever (per se), but is instead linked to how tumblr, unlike most social media, is not optimised to give content as short of a half-life as possible, but instead is optimised to let content continue to cycle for months, years, even decades. this has in turn led to a more consistent centralised siteย โcultureโ in which there is more coherent linkage among different areas of the site, thus also explaining why its content permeates so thoroughly throughout the internet.

We're happy to announce that from now until april 7th, the preorders for the zine are currently OPEN!
Please note:
- Approximate shipping date should be around mid-may. If any production delays happen, we will keep you updated on our social media.
- Because of the ridiculous pricing of the canadian post, we are unfortunately unable to offer tracking numbers for the orders. If you don't mind paying (a lot, let us warn you) more and would REALLY like a tracking number, please message us on our social media or by email kaarijazine@gmail.com
- We had to raise the pricing by a few cents since the latest post, as the selling platform we use is taking a percentage of every transaction
- Paying via paypal is currently unavailable, as our paypal account is in the process of being verified. However, it should be ok in a few days!
- This is a non profit zine, everything is being sold at production cost. But if there is any money leftover from currency exchanges or something like that, know that the leftover money will be sent to a charity for Palestine. The charity hasn't been chosen yet, we will keep you updated!
- If and only if you are gonna be at the Kรครคrijรค Vantaa gig on july 3rd, you can choose to apply the code VANTAAJULY at checkout for Bison to bring it to you there!
This being said, little reminder of what you will be able to find in this zine!
- A paper copy of the beautiful Kรครคrijรค Zine, illustrated by many talented artists, born and raised on tumblr!
- Stickers made by the wonderful @mitamicah
- A little silly surprise that we think everyone will enjoy
And here is the main piece of the post, the link for the shop!
If you have any question or concerns, please don't hesitate to message us!
Thank you so much for your support in the project, this couldn't have happened without you all!
