i survived the tumblr tiddy purge in 2019

I am shocked at how many people don't have an actively hostile relationship with advertising

actually that’s fine. i didn’t want the verification code anyway

well now that you mention it i may have wanted it a little bit. Thank you for sending it fifteen separate times

doing things at the right age is literally a made up concept. you can start/pursue anything at any age. btw.

theo van gogh was the one who suggested that his older brother vincent start seriously painting. as soon as theo was gainfully employed he gave vincent around 15% of his own yearly salary for art supplies, lodging, and food. about 2/3rds of vincent's surviving letters were to theo (including vincent's earliest and last letters), all of which were found stored in theo's desk. theo's child, vincent willem, was born on january 31st, 1890, and vincent was so delighted by his nephew that he painted almond blossoms for him. vincent shot himself half a year later on july 29th, 1890. theo's distress at his brother's death worsened his syphilis symptoms and he died half a year after his brother on january 25th, 1891 (four days before vincent willem's first birthday). theo was reburied next to vincent in auvers-sur-oise at the request of theo's wife johanna.

#probably not what op is referring to but i keep thinking about those thinkpieces that are like #'straight cis men HATE astrology because they are all obsessed with facts and logic and reason and rationality >:( #meanwhile women are intuitive and spiritual and emotional and have a better grasp on astrology <3' THIS IS TRAD SHIT. THIS IS MISOGYNISTIC #YOU'RE SAYING THE SAME SHIT CONSERVATIVE MISOGYNISTS HAVE SAID ABOUT MEN AND WOMEN FOR CENTURIES AND JUST TACKING ON 'AND WOMEN ARE GOOD'
