Out of the Blue

Superhero team as a metaphor for online friendship

I've known you for years, but don't know your name. I trust you with my biggest fears, but you'll never even know how I look. I wish I could take you to my favourite coffee shop or park, but I'll never be able. If something were to happen to you I would never know. You are one of most important people in my life, I wish I could introduce you to others

but we have to give each individual mosquito a near-microscopic "I GOT VACCINATED" sticker. and a lollipop

Wow wtf HIV/AIDS was discovered by Flossie Wong-Staal, an Chinese-American woman, and she’s the reason the HIV test even exists. AND THEN she invented the molecular knife that lead to treatments for HIV/AIDS. And she’s STILL ALIVE. We don’t hear about the contributions of Women of Color enough, my word. Madness.

you can always tell a major breakthrough is made by a woman, a woc or any poc because it’s either completely ignored or never credited like it just happened by itself

As a librarian - yes please buy books! Hell if you own the book but you really loved it, ask us to order it for our collection if we don't have it. If you see no one is checking it out take it home for a day! Get those circulation numbers up!!

one of the most frustrating things about getting a job is that after you go through the absolute hellscape that is applying and interviewing and you finally prove yourself worthy of having employment, you'll end up in the workforce and realise that 90% of the people with jobs are not actually very good at them. so like why was all of that even so hard

Having moots is great bc you get exposed to the shenanigans of fandoms you're not even a part of. I am currently watching the opera fandom try to kill Timothee Chalamat.

This is genuinely the funniest thing that could’ve happened considering how the actual scene plays out holy shit

puttering around the house is an underrated form a self-care. make some tea or coffee. put on a podcast. sort the mail. tidy some pillows and fold some blankets. start the laundry. thaw some soup. just casually wander around aimlessly doing little things to make your space and life a little nicer. who cares if you get distracted or only do a little. you aren't being productive. you're puttering.

This, and You Are One Of Today's Lucky 10,000 are very much things I love about Tumblr culture, yes!

I can't describe how much I love this poem. I want to hug it.
