Embrace this universe like a blazing star

My new coworker and I were just talking about our most dreaded Bad Texture Experiences and I mentioned that touching microfiber fabric makes me want to take off my hands and put them in the dishwasher, but that the next best thing is touching something else with a radically different texture, and that sometimes this makes me Weird in stores.

"Do you have a rock?" they asked, and then looked sort of embarrassed. "Or--not necessarily a rock, just, like--"

"Yeah, of course I have a rock," I said, and took my rock out of my pocket.

With relief, they said, "Oh, good. Me, too," and presented their own rock.

Im sorry but it is so funny how people outside of tumblr view us. Like why are the tiktokers treating tumblr like some professional ass website you need to do extensive prep before you begin posting on. And the follower farming advice is so fucking funny to me when this is the website where people actively hate getting new followers

Tumblr is the website where you ramble to yourself like a madman until someone decides they like you and put you into their pocket like a shiny rock. That's how you get followers

im literally always thinking about this funny little bart animation

fuck it everyone tell me about one fanfic which has changed your brain chemistry

HEY, FELLOW HATERS OF INSANELY-BRIGHT CAR HEADLIGHTS, SOMEONE HAS STARTED A PETITION TO REGULATE THEM.

It's an official petition through the Australian Government's e-petition page, which means if it gets enough signatures, it will be tabled in government.

You do have to be an Australian citizen to sign it, BUT!!! PLEASE REBLOG THIS EVEN IF YOURE NOT, because these kind of things have a roll-on effect, and if Australia legislates LED headlights, then other countries may follow.

FYI, the petition asks only for your name and email, and once you've clicked the sign button, they'll send you an email to confirm your signature --- you need to click the confirmation link in the email to have your signature counted.

The cousin of "he would not say that:" he would not keep saying that. It was a one off funny line for one particular situation. Every memorable line does not need to become a running gag.

really covering all your bases there huh

spoon theory

so hard not to become the most annoying person on earth if you're a little excitable and just learned a little about a topic literally no one around you has any interest in

every time tumblr changes their UI I feel like a bug in a jar who's just been shaken by a small child

You guys want to play a game? REBLOG and put in the tags why you follow this person

i saw a video saying ‘can we stop standing at the peak of the concert’

the person who made the video was in the disabled section

the comments replying to eachother say

‘its a concert, people are going to stand’

‘she is in the disabled section’

‘disability doesnt mean they cant stand’

‘disability ≠ immobility/inability to stand. it can mean so much more than being in a wheelchair lmao. its called a disabled section, not a sitting section’

what the fuck! what the fuck!!! disabled sections exist for wheelchair users first because a lot of us cant sit in normal chairs or we would have to get carried in and out of one! then people stand in front and you cant see!

is this what physical disability activism is now? every single person is ambulatory and can walk far distances, every single person is invisibly disabled, every single person has low or no support needs

i even saw a group of visibly disabled people on tiktok get told theyre ableist because they dont have anyone invisibly disabled in their group. what!

why does visibility for those groups have to take away from us? why are we the bad ones for existing? why cant we go to a concert and not have people stand in front of us and then use other disabilities as an excuse?

when i went to a concert last year i was in the disabled section at the front in my wheelchair with other wheelchair users and people stood right in front of us so everyone told them to get out of the way!

if someone who is average height really needs the disability section and can stand then dont stand in front of us! stand at the back!

shit ton of people are repeating the thing about hayao miyazaki saying AI art is an "insult to life itself" and just as a reminder he was talking about the zombies that team made that were intended to be scary in how much they shook, but instead reminded him of his disabled friend. the insult to life itself was referring to the team trying to make scary real symptoms that people live with.

it was a quote about ableism. if he has said other things about AI type stuff, that is a different thing. but that specific quote was about ableism.

this is the full quote.
