we lived in the gaps

where's that post about couples who are a package deal in an evil way because i think that's exactly how the scientific community sees stratt and grace. eva stratt is literally a businesswoman with an unlimited budget and rudimentary knowledge of my specialist field so you'd THINK i'd be able to convince her into funding my research forever and always amen but OH NO she keeps dragging along her STUPID SCIENTIST BOYFRIEND who once called my favourite supervisor at grad school a WASTE OF CARBON and she won't give me a penny until HE approves it for some reason fuck my stupid baka life

social media has evolved into such a voyeuristic spectacle over the last five to ten years its truly shocking to me like excluding tumblr 90% of the explore pages on other apps is just videos of peoples faces set to music or people talking directly to the camera etc etc......by contrast on tumblr there is still a sort of sheen of anonymity based on how its formatted and usually when you interact with a post you read or watch the content first and then learn the users identity second by clicking on their profile ie the dash is not just a wall of people filming themselves unless its a repost......i remember even only a couple of years ago there was a distinction between people who were influencers and got paid to film themselves 24/7 for instagram but now its like every average person on reels/tiktok is performing the same kind of theater for free......i cant imagine what that would do to your psyche long term

tumblr isn’t a social media site, it’s just my room
