It's crazy how many people use Death of the Author to mean "separating the art from the artist" when it's actually not supposed to have anything to do with who the author is as a person and is supposed to be about the idea that the author's interpretation of their own work should not be seen as the definitive, correct opinion on that work. Like you're not supposed to invoke Death of the Author when JK Rowling devotes her entire life and fortune to transphobia, you're supposed to invoke it when Trent Reznor says Closer by Nine Inch Nails isn't a sex song.

It seems that Vladimir Putin has agreed to end the war in Ukraine if all of his demands are met. Ah.

Hi new Tumblr users

Please know this sites hashtagging system is categorical and NOT clout based

Aka if I look up the “Wendell and Wild” tag, I should find clips, media, art and posts related to Wendell and wild ONLY. Same with any other random tag searched

If I spy a selfie, a random neighborhood, or any other kind of “insta” post trying to take likes for a popular hashtag, I’m reporting you for spam. Most other long term users will too and your acct will be fast tracked as a spam blogger and blocked.

You will not ruin the last non corporate site for us, especially by trying to treat this site like influencers matter. If you get popular, it’s bc you’re a clown w a skill not bc your hot or rich or skinny, got it?

sometimes you just see a popular post that makes you realize that you and the bulk of tumblr's userbase have very different life experiences

Babylon Berlin really said “fascists can easily infiltrate leftist spaces just by learning the right vocabulary” and I feel like that’s...a pretty important overall message that the fandom is mostly sleeping on.

Used iNaturalist app to try to identify one of my house plants and thought it’d be fun to seek my rabbit.

I don’t think iNaturalist knows what a rabbit is
