the two fundamental truths of historical and contemporary mankind:

I’m watching Splash (1984) which is a romcom about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid, and when she chooses a human name she chooses Madison and guy says “that’s not a real name, but alright” which seems to imply that Madison was not a name until at least the 80’s and all girls named Madison are actually named after the mermaid. thought you should know

I think...you might be right

what the fuck

dropped the walrus vs fairy question on a group of psychologists today and not only did the majority agree the walrus would be more surprising, the one with the strongest background in research responded to the ‘but fairies aren’t real’ argument with “are your beliefs so inflexible that you’ve never considered you might be wrong about what’s real and what’s not?” and honestly i haven’t recovered

honestly you know what goals

fuck it homebrew boop button. reblog this post to boop the person you reblogged from.

My pronouns are whatever you find funniest or whatever will make your adversaries angriest.

An explainer for why I don't fuck with algorithmic social media

If you give a pigeon a little button to peck that releases pigeon food, it will push the button when it's hungry.

If you give a pigeon a button to peck that releases food every 5 pecks, it will peck it more often.

If you give a pigeon a button to peck that releases food at a randomly selected, always shifting number of pecks, the pigeon will peck that fucking button all day long.

Algorithm based social media is not set up to give you the best most fun stuff all the time, it is set up to give you a bunch of stress and nothingness with a randomized reward of something that actually makes you happy, because they want you pecking that button all damn day. It is a slot machine of content, meant to keep you putting in quarters made of your time and attention till you've nothing left.

At least if I'm having a shit day on my own Tumblr home feed it's because I've made a bad choice about who to follow and I can fix it.

every woman should own a vintage wedding dress so she can waltz around in the dark and pretend she’s a Victorian ghost

you can start anytime.

you can brush your teeth in the middle of the day. you can wash the dishes at 2am. you can do things outside the normal times assigned by society.

"white wedding dresses were a trend started by Victoria and aren't period accurate before that."

Yes, this is true. I understand the frustration.

But hear me out: the way that the color has become synonymous with weddings to the point that putting a character in a fancy white dress signals "she's getting married" (symbolically or literally) is a fascinating case study in how period dramas and adaptations might sacrifice accuracy for the sake of being readable to a modern audience. Costuming is trying to speak in modern symbols too so its meaning isn't lost on the viewer.

Sometimes it is necessary to shift things as a visual shorthand for the audience.

Prashansa is a name i love and for some reason i thought 'prashi' was a good nickname🤦🏻‍♀️ and i like music. I spend a lot of time with earbuds listening to music, I sing often and i play instruments. I wanted to keep something neutral since I have changed fandoms a few times and i found out the hard way that changing a username means you have to update all your links🥲

no pressure tags - @landoposition @revolutionsingingintherainnn

thank you for the tag, p baby!!

um, my anxiety shoo away song is now or never from the julie and the phantoms soundtrack, and my favourite lyric from that song is "we're the revolution that's been singing in the rain" so i just shortened it a little big, and stuck to "revolutionsingingintherain" <3

Hellooooo

Ok so actually I can’t remember since I’ve had this account for like 8 years or more. I guess it was because I was a punk rock emo kid and wanted to show how being abnormal is freaking amazing so…

And 24 because I love even numbers and it’s my birthday.

Thank you @blairdii for the tag, you basically already tagged all the people I wanted to tag as well (we have our little community, we love each other) so sorry if I’ll tag them again

@kolbalissh @lyslsstuff @biancathecool @janesurlife @arinabay

thank you for the tag!

and to what beabnormal said about our little community bc i got tags from three of u guys haha (whom id have tagged myself)

my tumblr blog is named kolbalish which is the bangla name for a side pillow it literally translates to 'lap (kol) pillow (balish)' lmao i thought its unique enough and its not even an english word so it was like my own little inside joke

and like a kolbalish is such a household item (im propped up against mine as i type LMAO) i found a lot of bengali moots cos of this bc of our unified love for our kolbalish

pretty much came up with this when i first opened my ao3 account to maintain some anonymity from my irl usernames and then used that for my tumblr later

very fun tag game guys ty

I might actually be the most basic person here, this bitch is popped out of a user generator.

As a bit of a backstory, I write fics on my phone and have been doing so since I started, at like 13-14, so I got into the habbit of having a pinterest tab open I can flick to if someone comes into my room because it doesn't make noise like tiktok or instagram would and, I mean, it's not so unbelivable to catch someone just scrolling away on pinterest. So, while searching for the perfect post™ a random day this summer, like 2 days after I made my blog, I found a random user generator and just fiddled around with it because why not? Basically, I had to type in something it could go off of, and I just did tiger because that's my favorite animal, and found shrimptiger in the list of users, liked it, and snatched it.

if you know my blog, this is pretty self explanatory, but i draw little cartoon hoziers on here 😛

@unreal-unearthed @shortqueershakespeare @lifemod17 @willaminaaaa

thank you for the tag, Mads!! 🥰 i always like explaining my blog name because i think its cool, and i know some people get curious

so i am a moderator for many many communities and across multiple platforms, but during one stream, chat was joking that they need me to mod their lives too (e.g. help keep them in check/remind them of what needs to get done/maybe affectionately yell at them for not doing the thing haha you know etc etc) like mod things but in their lives!

Drift even called me "mod of my life" on multiple occasions. so yeah. life moderator. and the 17 is added because it's kind of like a trademark, almost all of my accounts end with a 17, its my birthday and its a neat number!

if you see this, consider yourself tagged! 💛

Peach is my childhood nickname. I am re-embracing it as a full grown adult as the memory of who I was and who I really am. Just a Peach. Just me. And that's enough

tagging @xhypiseepyx @xenolilly @ivegotdimpleswhenismile @effervescent-fool and @maxwell-demon because I am curious.

This is how any corporation functions. First, increasing profits is done by attracting more customers. Then, once they have all the customers they're going to get, increasing profits is done by increasing prices or cutting costs.

There's also the "landlord" factor there as well as upkeep - no architectural flourish and boring neutral colors makes the building easy to sell if need be, reducing what could be a selling point or point of differentiation to an interchangeable identical-everywhere commodity to be purchased or sold to a competitor depending on convenience.

Brown Box fast food outlets look like that for the same reason every apartment you will ever rent has paint somewhere on the spectrum of white to greyish-beige.
