With the Reddit 3rd party app crackdown and the ongoing horseshit Elon Musk is pulling with "X", I realize a lot of people here might be pretty new. So I put together a quick and easy guide for using Tumblr for anyone new who might need it.

  • Tumblr was made by David Karp and we call him Daddy around these parts (^///^)
  • You are not safe from fandom-gif attacks ( •̀ ω •́ )✧
  • Speaking of fandoms, the tumblr fandoms are always ready to grab their [object] and go to war against the Beliebers ╰(*°▽°*)╯
  • The only safe refuge from fandom tumblr is with hipster tumblr. If you can get a cool alt-girl to take you under her wing, you might be safe... for now (●'◡'●)
  • You will watch the first episode of Supernatural... and then you're part of the Winchester family. (Or if you skip right to season 4, we don't blame you. It's where Destiel starts (*/ω\*))
  • This is not a glomp-free zone ☆*: .。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆
  • Use missing e. It's the only way to make Tumblr useable on Internet Explorer (this is the most popular browser and you're probably using it right now) :-D
  • Our only adult-supervision is John Green... and even then does that REALLY count as supervision? DFTBA! φ(゜▽゜*)♪
  • Just this once, everyone lives. It's bigger on the inside. Elementary, my dear Watson.
  • If you see Misha Collins staring at you, the polite response is "Saving people, hunting things, the family business." O.O
  • I might lose followers for this, but this blog supports gay rights, and yours should too (14 gifs of Sherlock and The Hobbit)
  • Tumblr will teach you more about the world than you'll ever learn in school. ○( ^皿^)っ
  • Tread carefully... we have teh yaoiz O.o. Oh you don't know what that means? Well let's just say... it's full of lemons here.
  • If you see Hannibal Lector in a flower crown, tell him it looks very nice. His boyfriend Will Graham made it for him. (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
  • Do not enter the dog park. The dog park will not harm you.

Reviews are in! Reviews are glowingly positive! Reviews are glowing like the cloud we All Hail.

i don’t know if you’re taking propaganda for her right now but these are literally THEE best brownies you will ever have. katharine hepburn knew what she was talking about

Behind a paid subscription wall. I HATE paywalls. After a lot of cricking my neck to see what I could make out, finally managed to put it together. Added normal measurements as it’s originally in US.

Yield: 12 brownies

  • ½ cup / 60 grams cocoa
  • ½ cup / 113g butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup / 201g sugar
  • ¼ / 31.2g cup flour
  • 1 cup / 150g chopped or broken walnuts*
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • pinch of salt
  1. Step 1 Heat oven to 325 F / 162.7 degrees.
  2. Step 2 Melt butter in saucepan with cocoa and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a large bowl. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla.
  3. Step 3 In a separate bowl, combine sugar, flour, nuts and salt. Add to the cocoa-butter mixture. Stir until just combined.
  4. Step 4 Pour into a greased 8 x 8-inch-square pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Do not overbake; the brownies should be gooey. Let cool, then cut into bars.

*I have a nut allergy, so I would replace the walnuts with something else. Things I have used in the past:

  • chopped pretzels,
  • coconut flakes,
  • chopped stem ginger,
  • oreo or other digestive/biscuit bits (jaffa cakes are nice),
  • bits of crushed honeycomb (before Americans ask, not the actual honeycomb from bees, the sweets. Well. Never tried the stuff from bees, but as it’s mostly wax I don’t think it would work)
  • chocolate chips/chunks/callets/buttons (dark or white, ruby, mint, butterscotch, kendal mint cake, caramel pieces, billionaires, etc), or other chocolate candy like crispy M&Ms, Terry’s oranges, peppermint bark, chopped up
  • pumpkin or sunflower seeds (not my favourite, but fine),
  • dried / dehydrated fruit - cranberries, apricots, figs, raspberries, ginger, cherries, etc.

Most of the conversions were taken from here - https://coolconversion.com/ because I have no idea what the hell a “cup” means. All the cups in my cupboard are different sizes.

[…] When a person fails to begin a project that they care about, it’s typically due to either a) anxiety about their attempts not being “good enough” or b) confusion about what the first steps of the task are. Not laziness. In fact, procrastination is more likely when the task is meaningful and the individual cares about doing it well.

I’ve been yelling this for years
