I know that realistically you can only fit so many movies into a list of approximately 100, but I cannot take that "How many of tumblr's favorite movies have you seen?" list that's been going around seriously because there are some truly egregious omissions.

Some of it is very clearly recency bias, which makes me wonder if the op truly wasn't on here in 2013 or so, but you're telling me you made a list of "tumblr's favorite movies" that doesn't include Pacific Rim or Mad Max: Fury Road? Because, like, I was there, Gandalf.

I'm a ridiculous human and genuinely couldn't sleep until I tried my hand at a better, more balanced list -- though of course, I have my own biases when it comes to what corners of this website I've lurked in over the years. For what it's worth, I did consult the last several Years In Review, while also drawing on the fact that I've been here for over a decade. But if there's anything that truly doesn't feel like it should have made the cut, blame my mutuals for putting it on my dash all the time.

(And apologies, but I couldn't seem to find Goncharov among the website's listings)

A MUCH more accurate list of Tumblr faves over the years

Day 14: Homeless

I have to frequently rearrange my car to avoid suspicion not only from my coworkers and management, but to the parents picking up their children from preschool. It is extremely exhausting.

Exhausting is an understatement I haven’t had a proper night’s rest in two weeks. My make shift “bed” even with all the layers is still uncomfortable especially because one of the seats won’t go down. I work at a preschool which is debilitating not only physically but emotionally.

All I want is a roof on my head. I am using more gas than normal. Driving more than I usually do. My car already had a minor accident which causes it to scrape the ground. I got that trying to park in the hotel where I sleep at.

Idk what else to babble about? I don’t know what else to post so I can get the help I need. Feeling a bit defeated and honestly tossed away. The people reading my posts. Do you sympathize with me at all? Do I cross your mind?

Even if you can’t help me financially, could you post on my behalf? Could you advocate for me?

Rationing Insulin.

Blood sugar reading this morning. The average blood sugar reading should be between 60mg/dl - 100mg/dl. I am terrified of not being able to administer my insulin simply because I was too poor to afford it. I am strongly in need of community help.

I am happy to announce I raised $33 🎉 I only need $417 to get my prescription

Was drunk and bored and getting annoyed at the ridiculous coverage of the US election so I decided to fix the place.

I'm from Australia where we only have 7 states, as such I have the (objectively correct) opinion that 50 is too many states, so I decided to cut it down to 10.

A few notes on my improved US map:

•Despite Illinois making the cut, Chicago is now in Michigan, due to the state getting the entire bank of its namesake.

•Boston is also in Michigan due to special exception. Edit: Yes I know where Boston is, that's what "special exception" means.

•New York is now the capital of Pensylvania

•Yes that's how you spell Pensylvania

•The border of California is just roughly the Rockies, no need to overthink it.

•Making Florida bigger actually dilutes it's power, but Texas must be abolished

•Colorado should still be a rectangle, that's my mistake, I just couldn't be bothered fixing it.

•Alaska has been returned to Canada with a hand written apology

•All the random ass islands that the US forgot to pretend they didn't colonise have gained independence

Please let me know if there are any more improvements you can think of.

Edit: As a number of you have mentioned, Alaska never belonged to Canada, and giving it to them would be incredibly wrong when the native people have been trying to gain independence all this time.

Luckily, the apology note got lost in the mail in all the turmoil, so Canada never realised they're meant to have Alaska now. The Alaskans just start quietly self-governing and hoping the US and Canada don't notice, then after a few years they declare independence.

captain afab is honestly a very relatable character because whomst among us does not have some great beast that has eluded us all our lives. mine, for instance, is a decent night's sleep.

Ahab. I meant fucking. captain Ahab.

y'all are gonna make this a whole thing aren't you

top 5 things people have said in the tags on this so far:

  • moby girldick
  • I mean, he is chasing dick
  • the real white whale was testosterone
  • assigned whaler at birth
  • captain afab and his trusty crewman cismale

Cismale is sending me.

I can’t wait until my sense of taste is back. This cup of tea tastes like hot water. :(

Don’t worry, that’s normal for tea.

Tags that make me indecisive about whether I should be flattered or horribly offended

My senses have returned and tea tastes normal again.

So, like hot water then?

Wanna see some cool data on people's favorite words?

If this is your first time seeing me, STOP READING AND GO SEND ME AN ASK WITH YOUR FAVORITE WORD! In June 2024 I picked up the hobby of asking random people on Tumblr their favorite word, and I just kept asking until we got here today. I've got about 7000 favorite words from a whole bunch of people on Tumblr.

First, the credit for doing basically all of the work goes to @thespyglassofvision. He was the one who ripped all the text out of Tumblr, making it way easier for me to filter it to just favorite words.

He also is the one who found all this cool data analysis! (Warning there's a lot of data, if you wanna just check out the list of favorite words its over here)
