“why do i believe this” and “who benefits from me believing it” are the first steps to decolonization and we should all be doing this more

now that everyone from twitter has joined tumblr overnight, it's time to lay a couple ground rules:

1. it's not called a "retweet", it's called a "reblog", but if you're REALLY cool, you refer to it as a "rebagel"

2. if someone has fewer followers than you, it is totally fair to call them "irrelevant", but it is actually more stinging to call them "irrelephant"

3. if you see someone irl that you think might have a tumblr, you're supposed to say "i like your shoe laces". the correct response, which any true tumblrite would know by heart, is "thanks, i stole them from the president"

4. there is a particular phenomenon that happens after 12am EST called "nightblogging", and everything after this point is the fault of the australians

Zuhair Murad “Aquatic Serenade” Spring 2019 Haute Couture Collection

shelley duvall was ROBBED by hollywood, absolutely fucking robbed, SHE was the star of the shining (1980), not jack nicholson, she was the emotional anchor of that movie and she carried it ON HER OWN, all nicholson had to do is squint funny and thats it, meanwhile she was out there crying and screaming and shrieking and running ALL WHILE antagonized by the director who felt like he had to flex his misunderstood loner genius muscles or some shit. years later and when people talk about the shining they either discuss the joker or cube rick when they should be talking about how shelley duvall made the terror of that movie REALLY, TRULY POP. like what was i even doing in 1980??? i sure as hell wasnt defending her talent and hard work i was busy not existing like an absolute fucking fool and i can never atone for that

Just learned that there is going to be a live action Barbie movie and I expect two things from it:

1.) For it to be as good as Legally Blonde AT MINIMUM

2.) A scene where Barbie hands in a resume and it’s as thick as a novel

Things That Have Happened At The Library I Work At

- A guy came in to return a book that was, I shit you not, 156 weeks overdue. 

-Some teens were at a table studying when out of absolutely nowhere We Didn’t Start The Fire starts blaring from one of their phones. The kid apologized profusely and looked mortified but I thought it was pretty funny.

-A series of anonymous love letters addressed to my co-worker Justin through the book return slot (He suspects his boyfriend)

-One lady who yelled at my friend for not selling her a book (”Ma’am, for the love of fuck this is a library.”)

-Pushing each other around on the book carts before we open.

-Several old women asking about my well being and being concerned when I tell them I’m single.

-We have these heavy oak railings next to our stairs and I haven’t seen anyone try to slide down until yesterday, the kid fell off pretty fast but I respected his bravery.

-Becoming Best Friends with the coffee shop employees next door because we go there every day.

-Having someone check out every single one of our books on aliens and when I made a joke about it he looked at me and his eyes had nothing behind them.

-Another girl checked out three books about women who muredred their husbands and when I asked why she said “For research”

-Accidently putting a YA novel near the classics and seeing one lady pull it off the shelf and say very loudly, “Now this doesn’t seem right!”

i am absolutely dragging myself through grading my last 6 papers, it is 9:30pm, and one of my favorite students has just used the phrase “Satan and his Gucci gang” in his milton essay

i’m very tired, you guys realize poor people are allowed to spend money on items that aren’t just needed for survival, right? you guys know poor people can save 10 dollars every paycheck or something so they can buy a video game or a tattoo or go to a fancy restaurant, right? you realize poor people don’t have to act like 16th century peasants in order to be considered poor and need money? like you do know poor people are allowed to fucking enjoy things, don’t you?

Math proves that capitalism sucks and that capitalists are greedy.

POCKET CAMP SHOULD LET US SAVE SETS OF CLOTHING AS “FAVORITE” or something. I’m tired of scrolling through hundreds of items just to change back into an outfit I’ve been regularly using for months that could easily be set aside in advace if the game let me.

Rb if you agree I suppose…?

Hostile Alien: We have your son.

Kirk: I don’t have a son.

Hostile Alien: Then who asked for warm milk and made us cut the crust off his sandwich?

Kirk: Dear god, they have Chekov.
