I’m on the dark side of your room 📍

if we’ve been mutuals over a year we’re cousins

the thing I love most about how tumblr users use tags is that it’s like what if a social media website had a footnotes system

oh someone told me something useful yesterday. she said she’s been thinking about her tbr less as an overwhelming list of books she Must Read and more like she’s cultivating a wine cellar. making a rich collection that will provide the perfect thing when needed. a bottle will get uncorked when the time is right

noooo i’m not normal and everyone can tell

at first the anti-AI outrage was merely annoying but the more I see people retreating to positions like "parents should have more authority to surveil their kids" or "more electrical/internet infrastructure is bad, Not In My Back Yard!" the more I'm worried that kneejerk anti-AI sentiment will be a great new way to trick casual leftists into accidentally becoming conservatives.

A friend just shared Anthropeum with me, a game where you're shown 10 artifacts from the Met's collection, and you're asked to identify when and where each object is from on a map and timeline. Highly recommend!

The rest of the world really thinks this website is “dead” and the thing is that if it ever really does die they will feel it's absence but won't be able to name what happened. This is the beating heart and soul of the internet....

It's nuts how common it is to not allow children to be angry, even (especially) in households where adults are angry all the time. As a child I knew my own anger was unacceptable--not just expressing it outwardly but feeling it at all. So now as an adult my immediate reaction to my own anger is often to feel guilt instead of like. Noticing when someone is being rude or unfair or my boundaries are being violated or whatever. fucked up.

i think avoiding everything is going to save me for real this time

So scary to like a mutual's post because what if they remember they hate me and then shoot me with a gun
