hi do you have any tips for people just joining tumblr? people on a /lgbt/ discord say it's where they're moving but I've never used it. is there like a 'introduce yourself' place or something

you’re gonna want to lean into an inscrutable gimmick that alienates everyone and acts as a funhouse mirror distortion of your personality whilst prompting 2,000 randos to send you asks that aren’t funny

I told @strange-aeons that I had a dream that Matt Mullenweg announced Tumblr was going to be shut down on February 2nd of next year, and she demanded I make a post about it.

Here's the post. Let's see if I get hit with the ball of prophecy.

“Because people have begun to lose their hopes and forget their dreams. So, the Nothing grows stronger.”

The Neverending Story (1984)

This is exactly why speculative fiction is important

This is why taking a break for downtime is important

This is why being able to daydream and wander, is important

Without hope and dreams, we can’t even consider that a better world is possible

And that is exactly the point of overworking and underpaying us.

Michael Ende, who wrote The Neverending Story, also wrote Momo, where the villains are little grey men who convince you to “save time” by cutting out everything fun and meaningful in your life. But you never get the saved time back, the little men smoke it.

Momo should be vastly more well-known than it is, IMO.
