Honestly, I'm just here for my hyperfixations.

Please keep interacting with this post because when I come to tumblr to procrastinate, this shows up again in my notifications and guilts me into writing again

oh no!!!

my ribcage split open, revealing a grotesque, vertical maw, slavering and bleeding, with uneven rows of jagged and splintered ribs for teeth!!!

and prom is TOMORROW!!!

my singing voice is good for showers and mornings in the kitchen and drunken nights and lullabies for babies who need sleep and im okay with this

i think it’s silly to be ashamed of your art because it’s not in a museum and of your voice because it’s not selling out stadiums. there will always be people who enjoy and appreciate what you can do.

Idk why but this hit me really hard and I’ve been staring at it for a couple minutes.

No matter what a post on tumblr tries to tell you, your moral and ethical stances will never be determined by what you reblog and what you scroll past. Don’t let manipulation tactics force you into doing anything you don’t want to do.

I think there’s a corollary here too that goes “it is okay if you don’t know enough about a topic to reblog posts.” Even if you are a politically engaged blog, even if you have a strong humanitarian content style, etc. You not only can come to tumblr to decompress, you also can (and should) come to ANY social media site with a healthy sense of skepticism, especially following a dramatic or upsetting world event. A lot of people will be spoonfeeding you posts with an attached explanation and call to a particular action with that same “reblog or you suck” attitude and only some of those posts will be truthful. There is a social media culture of expecting a strong opinion ON everything FROM everyone, and opting out of that until you’ve formed your own opinion is good actually. Reblog-baiting sucks for a lot of reasons, all of which suck emotionally for the recipient and others that also suck intellectually and ethically. There are a lot of reasons not to let someone on the internet control the emotional response that you have to any opinion they’ve shared with you (whether you asked for it or not).
