You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.
By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.
I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?
it's probably from assholes making asks a minefield of trolling/harassment for years with no real blocking ability, which turned people off from allowing asks on their blogs so as a whole the site moved away from it
but now that we do have better blocking, we should try to revive it.
Reblog if your ask box is open.

Triptych, 120 × 200 cm «The Frog Catcher». This is a triptych.At the moment, this is the largest painting I have ever completed.Finally, it is finished.The Frog Catcher was inspired by a day at a children’s park with my sons. There was no natural pond there—just a shallow water play area where children could splash and play. Somehow a frog ended up trapped inside. The concrete walls were too high, and it could not get out on its own.All afternoon children tried to catch it. Some wanted to look at it more closely. Others wanted to rescue it and set it free.My middle son, who has loved frogs and insects for as long as I can remember, spent nearly two hours patiently trying to catch it. Eventually he succeeded. In the painting, he is holding the lunch box where he carefully placed his prize.But not everyone appreciated his enthusiasm.For the first time, he encountered the kind of adult aggression that children do not expect. A woman walked over, took the box from his hands without asking, removed the frog, and threw it into the bushes.What stayed with me was not the frog. It was the look on my son’s face.Children are naturally curious. They want to observe, explore, understand, and connect with the world around them. Sometimes adults forget that curiosity is not cruelty. Curiosity is how we learn.The generation before mine often caught frogs and insects to study them. The generation before that sometimes dissected them in school. Today many people see such interest and immediately assume the worst.Yet every scientist, naturalist, inventor, and explorer began as a curious child who wanted to look a little closer.This painting is about that curiosity.About childhood.About the small worlds hidden beneath the surface.And about the importance of letting children discover nature with wonder instead of fear.I hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday.
I wish you kindness, love, childlike curiosity, and the courage to keep exploring the world around you.
❤️

“It’s photoshopped” honestly in the age of AI that has a homey sort of nostalgia to it. Remember when people used to put effort into faking things?
photoshop fakers are like the villain with moral standards now

The Sonoran desert, Arizona
austinpedersen__
things in fic I'm used to people kind of faking their way through writing about:
the city of los angeles
the city of new york
sex
how drinking alcohol works
how getting high works
how a child of any age speaks
how nuclear physics work
how [my job] works
how debilitating being shot in the shoulder is
how hypothermia works
things I have never before seen someone fake their way through writing about, until today:
what french toast is
read through the notes on this one trust me
Here's some of the notes, starting with the things multiple people brought up:
SHRIMP COCKTAIL:
banahbanah: #flashback to that one fic where Peter Parker frets about drinking shrimp cocktail because of the alcohol
generaldeliciousness: adding: what a prawn/shrimp cocktail is
#why is your character turning it down because they're under 21 #do you think prawn cocktail is a cocktail #this lives in my brain rent-free constantly #the rest of the fic was so normal #and good enough that i'll still re-read it #but bro
And then many, MANY, people wondering if this was actually authour mistake, since Peter really would do this!
POMEGRANATES:
zhajhassa: #haha where's that post that was like someone describing someone eating a pomegranate but they ate it like an apple
thornhands: #once someone wrote persephone biting into a whole Pomegranate #had to stop and stare at a wall for a minute
sungsingsanguine: I once saw someone very confidently write about a character eating slices of pomegranate.
FRUIT TREES:
zagreuses-toast: #given a very endearing glimpse into a writers blindspots by seeing them describe someone sitting under a ''pineapple tree''
salatrash: I remember something about picking watermelons... OF A FUCKING TREE
baander: #cranberry trees
DOUGH/BATTER:
maycelium: #I'm a chef so I'm really used to people not accurately describing how to cook food #But I was surprisingly flabbergasted when someone was writing making a cake and was kneading it. Which uh #Not necessary for cake. It was interesting for sure but just bizarre
livebloggingmydescentintomadness: #the one that drove me nuts was when a character set aside a batch of PASTA DOUGH 'to rise' #pasta doesn't have yeast!! #it does need to REST but it will never RISE #you do not want an airy crumb on your noodles
lovesodeepandwideandwell: #THE ONE WHERE THEY MADE COOKIES BY LADLING BATTER INTO A TRAY
Some other topics:
Six flags commercial from 2004 you most likely forgot about.
Nobody who has seen this has ever forgotten about it.
using violence to liberate people from sweatshops, unsafe mines, and grinding poverty isn't the same as using violence to impose those things on people. the idea that violence is morally repugnant regardless of context is a belief that every oppressor throughout history would love for the oppressed to hold
Pride sharks! Happy pride month :D more super cute pride flags themed sharks coming soon 👀

getting scambot messages from random accounts that clearly used to be normal active blogs is sad enough. you know that there used to be a real person on that blog until they were tricked into handing their password to the digital fae.
but it's an entirely new level of tragic when somebody you've actually spoken to gets turned into a bot account. it's like peeking at a zombie apocalypse through the window and realizing one of the shambling corpses was your friend.
and then the zombie catches sight of you, lurches up to your window, and shouts through the glass that they accidentally reported your account to tumblr and you'll be deactivated unless you click this link.
RIP to the blog that used to DM me to tell me they liked my new chapters. Their last known words spoken before being turned, 17 hours ago: "Ggs!" They were praising someone's deadlift.
the message they tried to get me with is probably the same message that got them, so for anybody who hasn't already been warned about the signs of a zombie account:
if you get something like this ↑ they're gonna follow up by instructing you to contact tumblr support on discord and give you contact info; or they're gonna link a website that looks sort of like tumblr support and say you have to email them; or any variety of "you must now contact tumblr, here is how you contact tumblr."
whatever they send you, it Does Not lead to tumblr. it leads to the master zombie that bit them and inducted them into the ranks of the undead, and will bite you the second they have your email and password. i might be confusing zombies and vampires. anyway,
it's easier to fall for these messages because the blog doesn't LOOK like a bot blog, because it ISN'T a bot blog. it's a normal person's blog that got accessed by a bot, meaning the blog's content CLEARLY looks like a real active user when you click on it. and yes—it might even be a blog you already know. sometimes bots like this go down a blog's DMs or reblogs and message people they've previously interacted with.
they got one of my treasured followers, and they can get you too. don't fall for their tricks. know the signs.
you have to forgive the printer because it's one of the most machine-ass machines we interact with on a day to day basis. that thing says kerchunk. hardly anything says kerchunk these days. you can't get mad at her when she kerchunks up a little.
Crazy that tech has gotten so bad that we're doing printer forgiveness now
Yeah sex is cool, but have you ever handed off the work equivalent of a live grenade with one second left on the fuse for someone else to deal with?

#just a reminder to any POC people that follow me: please DO NOT be afraid to send me long and detailed asks explaining the specific problems and extent of harm done by my art if i ever make art that includes any racist stereotypes #i'm Just Some Guy please educate me
#tw s3xu4l 4ss4ult #s*exual ass*ult ment #tw s///a #hopefully those filter it out pls ask to tag!
#OP i completely agree #literally [completely new statement in direct opposition to the statement made in the post]
#im sorry for being american #im sorry for being white #im sorry for being a man #im sorrty i know it hurts ppl i hate myself i hate myself i hate myself
#house md did an episode on this #queuenited healthcare shooting
#tw colonization #ok unrelated but this actually rly reminds me of how certain ppl behave in the tadc fandom
#as a white person i approve this message
#Look I'm white as the freshly fallen snow and even I know not to do this #Do better y'all
#im white but im appalachian and we experience this too #so i relate
#like i agree but op can you stop yelling
#People in real life: Hey man how are you
#WAIT WHATS TRANSMIGOSYNY HELP- #IM NOT CHRONICALLY ONLINE CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN PLS😭😭😭
#some people act like this because of autism but otherwise i agree
#Please know that there are good men and not all men are bad and men can be very healing #and a real man would never act like this you should never worry about men because most men are normal
#sure i'll reblog that
#not ted lasso
all of these are based on real tags i’ve seen but the first one was kind of a cop-out because the particular tag from which i drew inspiration is actually significantly more unbearable
Gordon Parks captured the Jim Crow South with a quiet, devastating clarity—using his camera as both witness and weapon. Through intimate portraits and everyday scenes, he exposed the cruelty of segregation not with sensationalism but with humanity, dignity, and truth. Parks showed Black life in the South as it was lived: tender, resilient, disciplined, and determined, even under oppressive laws. His photographs didn’t just document injustice—they challenged America to see what it preferred to ignore.

If staff reformed the ban system to stop banning trans women and used the resulting good will to re-introduce pornography, this site would become a juggernaut. It would swallow Twitter whole.
