Searching for the "true source" of online things makes me really cognizant of the absolute impossibility of "knowing" anything concrete about history. Like, of course we don't know exactly how sone ancient peoples did X or Y or Z. I can't find who made a piece of art from 15 years ago despite having literal connected information libraries spanning the globe. At my fingertips. I can see a thing real time on the other side of the planet. No, not having records doesn't mean it was aliens or some ancient mythological civilization hidden from us through some mass conspiracy. It was people and it's always been people. We just suck at maintaining data provenance. We just need more librarians.

I can't actually imagine using the search function on tumblr. Like that's not how tumblr works.

Surprised every I see advertisements for real actual legit products on this site.

Someone should make a foil to the Elf on the Shelf called the Devil on the Level. They don't snitch but actively cause hijinks to happen.
