This Is A Sideblog @this-is-a-sideblog - Tumblr Blog

This is a sideblog, for reblogging posts that I like and maybe for other things too; we’ll see. My main blog, which I’m going to use mainly for my art and my own projects, is @alunclewe. (I also have another sideblog, @terasterrace, devoted to one specific IP I’m working on.)

Before I created this sideblog, I just wrote down the URLs of posts that I liked, which was stupid. As I run across those URLs, I may reblog the posts (as I probably should have in the first place), so don’t be surprised to see occasional reblogs of old posts.

Today's my birthday and I'd like to share a new comic with you, it's called Marginalia. It's a love letter to all the weirdness of medieval manuscripts, and you can read it by unfolding a single sheet of paper!

Risograph print editions are also available in my shop.

“I don’t put politics in my stories” is the literary equivalent of a cishet guy going “I don’t have pronouns”

Random Woman in a Thrift Store: oh my. Where are you from?

Me: I’m from. Here. I’m from the area. *I live three blocks away*

Her: But where before that?

Me: um. *town twenty miles north*

Her: … but you’re not from *our state.* I can hear it in your voice.

Me: Well. Technically that town is over the state line yeah.

Her: *extremely skeptically* hmm. Okay. Close enough.

Me: ??????????

I’m white, so she couldn’t even have been being racist, but she was just so clearly disbelieving my answers. Still very confused. I don’t have a regional accent that would be of note in the area, we speak with a generic American Midwestern accent.

this-is-a-sideblog

For some reason, I've frequently been told I have an accent, though there's absolutely no reason I should. (Well, I mean, obviously everyone has an accent, but I mean there is no reason I should have a different accent from my family and everyone else where I grew up.) People don't seem to agree with what the accent is, just that I have one... which, again, I shouldn't. For instance, here's an interchange years ago between my father and one of his coworkers on the latter's meeting me:

"You say this is a friend of your son's?"

"No, he's my son."

"Is he adopted?"

"No."

"Then why does he have that accent?"

?????

This update has utterly destroyed engagement with old content, too. I have one particular viral post (a selfie) that is years old now and still gets 100s of notes a month from people reblogging as they stumble across it in someone's archives.

I now won't see *any* of those interactions. Because of how the "long tail" of reblogging works on this site -- most of the reblogs come from *other* accounts' reblogs, not directly from the OP.

Now, I won't get the endorphins of seeing all the positive notes on my content, even stuff that's only days, or in the case of viral content, hours old.

And I won't have any visibility into people using my old posts for harassment/misinformation campaigns. I have a large manual block list to keep me and my followers safe, and now I've lost a major safety tool.

This is just utter dogshit for some attempt to fragment posts, likely for some new advertising model.

I've been here since 2013 and am starting to pack my bags. This is openly hostile to the majority of this site's users. Tumblr thrives on its massive backlog of old content and this change removes any incentive to create anything new now.

They did say nothing would change for the old posts.

Also, if someone else reblogs it and adds nothing (aka just passing it around) it'll be as if nothing had changed.

Now, im not saying this update is good, im just saying its bad in a different way then mentioned by OP.

this-is-a-sideblog

They did not say nothing would change for old posts. They said nothing would change for old notes. Here's the relevant quote:

Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out.

So existing notes won't be reapportioned to reblogs, but there's nothing there that precludes new notes on reblogs of old posts going to the reblog instead of the original post... which according to prev from their own observations is exactly what is happening.

Oh... oh gosh. Out of curiosity I just found the original movie this is from, and okay I knew the scene would have different music, but I assumed the weird explosion at the end of this clip was edited in as part of the joke.

It's... it's not.

What do you think of the Swedish Chef from the muppets?

As a child from Finland, who had very little experience of the muppets (I don't think it ever actually aired on TV here?) I never connected the character with anything swedish. Dude looks far too southern/central european. Like someone with a french mother and italian father, who was born and raised in Belgium.

this-is-a-sideblog

For what it's worth, according to Wikipedia, Swedes think the Swedish Chef sounds more Norwegian, while in the German version of the Muppet Show, the Swedish Chef was Danish.

No word on general Finnish opinions of the Swedish Chef, but if the Muppets didn't have much of a cultural impact there that's not surprising.

Yeah, although of course I didn't put it in those terms, this was me about ten years ago.

And that is why I never got my PhD.

I almost always see polls like this coming around at a time when I happen to be completely naked.

Well, permanently naked it is, I guess. Again.

So unfortunately I was unable to attend the @sequentialartistsworkshop Friday Night Comics workshop today due to a work conflict, but here's another old comic from a previous week that I hadn't gotten around to uploading before. This one's from June 6, 2025; the host was Miriam Rae-Silver, and the "assignment" was to draw a four-panel comic showing a natural place changing over time... so I drew tidepools at different times of day.

I was still kind of trying to get used to Inkscape when I drew this, so it's particularly low in detail and... kind of not good.
