29 y/o a they/he/she Floridian. this blog is a disorganized hodgepodge and so am I

Pinned

Ghwosty is the main, these are my sideblogs:

blackeneddays- a catchall to put my music loves. Lots of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. Other bands will make an appearance too, I guess

ghwostyref- for posts with useful links and info, and organized with tags to find later

subtropic- for my meteorological hyperfixation

Also here's my work in progress NeoCities site:

right here .. I'm still learning so it's still a bit rough but it's fun and mine. will get updated infrequently when i have the time/motivation

I’m also on:

Pinterest (in case tumblr ever croaks) and Shuffles (connected to pinterest so same username)

I block queerphobes, transphobes, and gender essentialists on sight :)

UM GUYS. I JUST NOTICED A CRAZY ISSUE W THE TUMBLR UPDATE.

YOU CAN SEE THE ICONS OF ANONS SOMETIMES.

The way I was able to recognize several anons in one of my inboxes bc of this error. Oh my god. Guys. This isn’t supposed to happen.

Weighing in to say:

YES, I SEE THIS ON MOBILE. HOWEVER I DO **NOT** THINK IT'S SHOWING THE ANON'S REAL IDENTITY.

The profile pictures I see next to anon asks are profile pictures that belong to other, non-anon asks in my ask box also. Some info

  • there are 14 asks in my inbox from the last ~5 days
  • 9 anons, 5 logged in users
  • ALL 14 show pfps, including the 9 anons
  • ALL THE SHOWN PROFILE PICTURES BELONG TO THE 5 LOGGED IN USERS

I think the bug is the inbox INCORRECTLY attributing anons to neighboring, logged-in asks.

Which is still a bad bug! Considering it makes it look like a long-time follower of mine sent me a spam ask.

And is worse if, say, one of these was anon hate.

But it's NOT the anon's real identity. It's a neighboring ask asker's identity

So if you have anon hate in your inbox that looks like it's attributed to your dear friend, who sends you lovely asks all the time, it was Not them.

CONFIRMED THE BUG IS INCORRECT ATTRIBUTION.

Thanks @thepatchycat for being a test subject. As you can see the icon being attributed to this ask is NOT the patchy cat

The pictured icon belongs to @watchingforcomets who sent me a nice ask about nail polish yesterday which I have not yet answered!

I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like "this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol" when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every "classical" looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad

In case you're curious here's what I mean.

Renaissance(distinct lines, stability and the individual man):

Baroque (bold, chaotic, dramatic):

Romantic(romanticize the simple hard working life):

Do you see the difference?

I am sorry to everyone who tagged me in some tag game and I never responded. I saw it and thought “aww they thought of me” and proceeded to forget about it right after

they're my favorite photos bc he looks even more itty bitty than usual.. a very scoop-upable man.. easy to whisk away..

Eddie Vedder in his home photographed by Chris Cuffaro - January 28, 1992

"This is basically for Entertainment Weekly; they hired me to go up to Seattle and do a story on "Seattle Scene" and "grunge". I went up there and at that time i knew a bunch of people and a bunch of friends and Eddie and everybody and... you can see it was pretty messy. And just often this impromptu photoshoot kind of happened. Eddie picks up his bass and starts playing and... he didn't care, we were friends, and I would just shoot anything and everything, it was a lot of fun.

I loved always shooting somebody creating music or somebody creating their art. I rarely took the camera out though, unless it was okay, like I wouldn't just force my way onto anything, and I always didn't want to be noticed. In a sense, I don't even think I sent these pictures to Entertainment Weekly because i felt they were too personal. I always tell people this: that the day I met Eddie Vedder, I knew that this guy was special, and at that time, I knew that the band was special [,,,]"

Hm this latest bonehead move with tumblr's management feels different to me this time, more final feeling, I've already decided awhile ago that if/when tumblr's plug gets pulled I won't be making any attempts to migrate to bluesky or anything similar

I'm tired of modern social media

I have Pinterest left and the neocities (both linked in my pinned post) I work on when I find time. That will be it

I will use tumblr until it goes dark for good
