My favorite colors backwards

@elprupneerg / elprupneerg.tumblr.com

I have no idea what is happening (USA, they/them or per/pers, I’m an adult)

i just realized i should probably make a pinned post. i've got an about page, but that only shows up if you visit my blog url directly (and is also out of date lmao).

you can call me elprup or elprupneerg on here. some of my mutuals know me irl so they know my irl names and might use those. if i don't know you irl, kindly ignore that lol.

i use any neopronoun. yes even the one you just made up in your head now. yes even the misspelled one you used while attempting to use one of the more common sets of pronouns. i will also accept use of they/them, but i'd prefer if people used me to practice neopronouns so that they can get used to those in case any of their friends comes out and prefers a specific one. just do your best and i'll be super happy that you tried <3

i'm a mid 20s college student in the midwest united states. i've probably shared enough on here to make it obvious where Exactly in the midwest, but i don't feel comfortable putting it directly at the top of my blog. if you wanna dox me you have to dig for it <3

i'm disabled and may have trouble remembering to respond to any asks/dms/other notifications. its not you, its me. memory problems and brain fog are the name of the game, even when i'm not stressed from classes. i still enjoy messages! i just might not remember to answer halfway through a conversation.

i don't have any money. i can't help you. i'm sorry.

various links and stuff:

i was on cohost (long live eggbug!). not gonna link it here since i'm not sure how that will work when the site shuts down at the end of the year, but i was elprupneerg on there too. once i know how archive link stuff works i'll add one here

[to be edited later]

i can't really think of anything else to add. thanks for reading!

teacher sent us 2 articles to read as part of the homework. one of them is a weird pdf that i *think* he might've written himself. unfortunately, the combination of engineering major spelling/grammar, his difficulties with english, and his general kinda disorganized vibe means that uh. this thing. has good information. i think. at least when i'm able to figure out what he's trying to say

Everyone on tumblr has Conditions. maladies. I log onto tumblr and my mutuals are unwellposting. Conditions I didn't even know existed and sound like dark curses but I will see a post from friend like "died about 60% today, fine now. Made egg on toast #yummytoast". There are so many people in this world with life experiences

ah shit sorry man i didnt mean to spill my "aro4aro friends with benefits relationship" all over your favorite ship, fuck dude my bad, it wont happen again

Remember to wash your sheets. I am begging you to wash your bedding

And in general, clean your furniture and upholstery. Dust, dirt, odors, sweat, and animal dander all build up. It is terrible for your skin. And it gets worse over time. Particularly dirty furniture’s smell gets on everyone and everything it makes contact with. I recently overcame a rash i am positive was from sleeping on grimey furniture.

“But girlstink” NO. there is a very clearly defined line between “stinks good” and “fucking reeks.”

Spritzes of Vinegar and water kill bacteria. Sprinkling baking soda on things, letting it sit for an hour or so, and vacuuming it up kills odors and further cleans. Throws, blankets, and fabric covers allow you to decorate while also having a layer of protection that is machine washable for convenience.

I hope this helps someone who needed to hear this or never learned this.

I made it easier to back up your blog with tumblr-utils

Hey friends! I've seen a few posts going around about how to back up your blog in case tumblr disappears. Unfortunately the best backup approach I've seen is not the built-in backup option from tumblr itself, but a python app called tumblr-utils. tumblr-utils is a very, very cool project that deserves a lot of credit, but it can be tough to get working. So I've put together something to make it a bit easier for myself that hopefully might help others as well.

If you've ever used Docker, you know how much of a game-changer it is to have a pre-packaged setup for running code that someone else got working for you, rather than having to cobble together a working environment yourself. Well, I just published a tumblr-utils Docker container! If you can get Docker running on your system - whether Windows, Linux, or Mac - you can tell it to pull this container from dockerhub and run it to get a full backup of your tumblr blog that you can actually open in a web browser and navigate just like the real thing!

This is still going to be more complicated than grabbing a zip file from the tumblr menu, but hopefully it lowers the barrier a little bit by avoiding things like python dependency errors and troubleshooting for your specific operating system.

If you happen to have an Unraid server, I'm planning to submit it to the community apps repository there to make it even easier.

Drop me a message or open an issue on github if you run into problems!

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ 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"

Do yourself a favour and start believing you deserve everything good in life and that nothing is out of reach for you.

*through clenched teeth* people lived long and fulfilling lives under hostile governments, it’s not the be-all and end-all to have your identity accepted by the government, we can rely on mutual aid and community to get through this together

idk what your all talking about tiktok rules

[video description: a mouse puppet wearing chainmail while sitting at a table. On the left side of the table, a bowl of two avocados pushes in. On the right, there is a small chalkboard, which the puppet turns to show that it reads "2 for $10." The puppet sings a parody of running up that hill. It sings "if I only could, I'd make a deal with God, two avocados for ten bucks. He'd say 'that's not very good.' I'd say 'yeah but you're God. Isn't money kind of beneath you?' he'd say 'it's the principle.' I'd say 'do you want avocados or not?' the video cuts out. End description.]

I think I've figured out why the fact that so many people I know use generative ai to do things like write emails for them bothers me so much is that. Like. You're not even participating in your own life. I get that emails are boring and sometimes even challenging to write but you are communicating with other humans. The words written will represent your ideas and your feelings and you as a person. If you can't be bothered to do that, if you're so far removed from human connection that you don't care if people get the real you or a computer imitating you, then you've already lost. We've all lost.
