I appreciate the info and tips :) I didn’t really know that the for you page tends to favor popular blogs. Thought it was kind of a…idk a “for you” page lol. I know I changed some settings about posts I’m showed one time but I don’t even remember what it was anymore. Will have to check my settings later.

I like the randomness and variety that can come from the for you page, sometimes I can find new blogs to follow that way but yeah the following page is definitely better.

Depsidase is a creep and a content thief who can't even handle the criticism that the content they are stealing is already from a known tumblr user

Finally. The intersection of ancient artifacts and associated history and modern social media influencer clown discourse. I love it! I AM interested in this ancient form of money AND the answer as to who tf values and buys these peoples cryptoscams!

I Don't Get It

I really don't get it. Hawk Tuah Girl, Boogie 2988, Logan Paul, it seems like anyone can just create a cryptocurrency. Who are the people buying this shit and getting scammed by it? All fiat currency only has value because people place value on it. Whether paper or electronic money has no real practical purpose beyond facilitating trade. Fiat currency created by governments only have value because that government decrees it has value and the people have faith in the stability of that government. If a government collapses it's currency becomes worthless.

So who TF are the people who are assigning value to an electronic currency because Boogie2988 created it? Who sees that a new currency is hitting the market backed by the full faith and credit of Hawk Tuah Girl and thinks, "yeah, that seems like a reasonable means to facilitate the exchange of goods and services in an economy."?

A bundle of Kissi pennies, which were iron rods used as money for hundreds of years in West Africa. They had value because you can make important stuff out of iron unlike Hawk Tuah money.

I have minimal understanding of how tumblr works because I must’ve liked something from them recently or something because now my entire for you page is just depsidase posts, one after another with only a few other blogs intersperse, and idk I’d like if it wasn’t just them on my for you. But also. I’m 100% sure I’ve been liking a lot of other ppls posts too, like more than depsidase, so why aren’t those blogs also hogging my for you? Why isn’t the blog(s) that I interact with most making up my entire for you? Why are all of these depsidase posts cluttering my for you page from November??? Tumblr? How do you work?

So I looked up depsidase tag to see if anyone was experiencing that too. I guess it doesn’t matter in the grand scheme, it’s just weird and kinda annoying. They obviously are a reposter of twitter etc. but i didnt know that they just straight up steal content from here too. So that’s not good. Guess they’ll be going into my block list which is a shame because maybe I am interested in “their” content that they’re sharing, but only if they would respect the original creators of that content in the first place.

A majestic fish on page 233 of Ms. Codex 3, three volumes of paintings or hand-colored sketches depicting mainly insects, fish and other marine life, birds and flowers. We don't know much about these books except that they were made in Japan, probably in the 19th century. If you know more, let us know!

Day 4 of my 2024 favorites: Ms Baeus (miniscule stubby wingless wasp), on my fingertip, moments before hopping into the void never to be seen again. These tiny nuggets can be very hard to shoot, and can basically disappear on a sheet of white paper. Getting this shot pleased me immensely. 🤎

Although when you think about it, the story with Ninny is really wtf depressing too like 😟I’ve never seen the Moomins show? book? does this happen in the original?? I thought it was like we’re forest creatures and we are just happy and live life and vibe. I didn’t know there was trauma involved.

I love the Inside Out films because in the first one, Joy—among other characteristics—is a huge arrogant, controlling, and self-centered ass and in the second one she’s a less arrogant, controlling, and self-centered ass BUT that’s the point! That’s great! They didn’t make her suddenly not any of those things in the second one, which is good because that would be a bizarre and bad character rewrite. What would she be if she’s not those things? She’s still those things but understands how to better use those characteristics to serve Riley the person, rather than her idea of what Riley should be. This is her whole entire job, and she does it well. Nothing wrong with being proud of a job well done.

BUT, when she doesn’t understand how the other emotions are necessary too, she ends up suppressing Sadness or attempting to curate Riley to make her happy, in a softer way than Anxiety did but still to the same effect—controlling and restricting Riley’s full experiences at the expense of Riley. She became not controlling of other emotions by the second film but turned out to still be a little bit controlling of Riley in that one. But by that time, she already had the experience of learning that she could be wrong and was therefore more open to the idea that she could be doing something wrong again. Joy will do literally anything to make Riley happy, and that includes—most importantly—growing as a character, reflecting on her actions, changing behaviors, and learning how the other emotions do in fact ultimately make Riley a happier and better person.

Another thing I like is that she wasn’t mad at Anxiety, she didn’t punish Anxiety or suppress her, because she learned from Sadness that all emotions have a valuable purpose for Riley and she didn’t ever need to be reminded of that. In real life, when does being mad at or punishing your anxiety or sadness or anything help? And then in the end, Anxiety drinks her tea on her special chair, suggesting that Joy and the others made a space where Anxiety could be close and a part of it all in a way that serves Riley best. They made a way to respect the function that Anxiety has without ignoring her or letting her have excessive control over Riley. Not exerting excessive control over Riley is a lesson that Joy learned alongside Anxiety, and perhaps couldn’t be learned from anyone other than Anxiety.

Joy has to be the one that the story is told through because she has to be the one to learn and grow—and by the end of both films, she is a much stronger character for it all, and Riley is too. This makes perfect sense, because when you think about it, your capacity for joy is strengthened when you understand and value the legitimate role that sadness and anxiety play in your life.
