lrb it's killing how dean's acting like sam's having an irrational aversion to miracle when all sam's doing is regurgitating something he has expressed before (no dogs in the car) and has only bypassed within special circumstances (when he was literally part dog) and sam isn't even expressing having an aversion to miracle in the first place—he asked in disbelief if dean was letting a dog sit in the impala then said he was gonna get jack. not to mention that we know sam likes dogs. then there's also dean offering up sam shitting shotgun to miracle on behalf of the imaginary aversion he later relays to miracle

I just made a new sideblog and found out this setting is disabled by default.

This means that ALL new blogs will NOT have a [username].tumblr.com page. Not only that, but they will not have any themes besides the mobile-default.

As someone who really likes custom themes and Tumblr still having a fully customizable profile page, please turn this on!

You can make a website for your tumblr blog that is entirely your own!

Finding posts on your URL.tumblr.com page is much easier due to the ability to use your Archive and url.tumblr.com/tagged/[tag] pages!

Visiting your mutual's tumblr pages will become much more fun if they do the same! I used to always associate blogs with the themes they had, but that's sadly not possible anymore :(

If Tumblr themes die out, it will truly be an end of an era for the internet, and the future will hold only mobile-orientated, endless-scroll design devoid of personality.

Even if you don't like themes, this is a move that almost destroys Tumblr's origin as a blogging website and showcases the takeover of social-media-sameness.

Having your own URL and custom theme is fun! Try it today!!!

Edit: I focused on promoting custom themes but I do encourage people to simply turn on this setting for the URL. You can pick a free tumblr theme or even leave on the tumblr mobile-orientated default!

when teenaged rebellion goes too far

[emenerd]

I have no clue how to word this, but I was thinking about this from the post where people were getting defensive over someone else saying it was unhealthy to never eat a vegetable and going on about how OP was "bullying" people with certain disorders...and anyway, I feel like some people don't want to accept that just because you may not be able to do something the conventional way does not mean that you can automatically opt out of having to do it in any way and avoid the consequences.

Like at my workplace if a resident has trouble brushing their teeth normally we give them adaptive equipment and/or training and if they really can't do it on their own, staff brushes their teeth because their teeth will rot if not cared for. If they can't eat food normally it's pureed or cut up and/or they get adaptive equipment or again staff feeds them because they will die without eating.

And yet there's presumably grown adults with full mental capacity on here who are trying to find excuses to avoid doing things like eating vegetables instead of trying to figure out ways to make themselves able/willing to do such.

it's so Weird how ppl STILL make fun of the idea of alcohol-free queer spaces just because an asexual teenager suggested it in 2015. it was odd then and it's odd now. Why are you mad at the idea of a coffee shop for queer people. don't answer that i do not gaf

For the longest time I opted on the side of "no coffee, potatoes, etc" in fantasy writing, on the argument that if I was writing a pseudo-european medieval story, featuring elements brought to Europe by colonialism would imply the existence of colonialism, and if I was going to include that kind of elements, I could not just mention them casually, it would have to be a major theme of the story.

Then I scrolled past a post on tumblr specifically about "can you have potatoes in a fantasy setting for no reason" that had pics of Peruvian potato farmers and asked "are you really too much of a coward to not write these people into your stories?" (the tone was probably not that accusative, I paraphrase from my own perspective of this), and something clicked in my head, and this epiphany manifested in my head as Gordon Ramsay yelling

"IT WAS NOT THE FUCKING COLONIALISM THAT INVENTED THE FUCKING POTATO."

Sometimes being in environmental law means that your schedule for the afternoon gets completely thrown because a colleague standing the middle of some woods calls to tell you that there’s gunk in the stream and it smells bad.

no, “nuance” does not necessarily mean “apologetics,” it means “things are more complicated and maybe worse than you realized in different ways.” anyone raging at the term is suspect—what are they afraid of, exactly, if new information is introduced?

you should be addicted to shutting the fuck up

You wanna fuck me so bad it makes you look stupid

really fucking sucks that the catalyst for the mcelroy brothers' "downfall" was when one of them *checks notes* displayed symptoms of the mental illness he was very open about, in a way that was deeply embarrassing but ultimately pretty harmless

Like, he seems rude about it, but literally why would you try to hold someone's hand while they're obviously doing something with their hands?

I think cats are right about the zoomies. I think every once in awhile you should run around the house as fast as you can and then sleep for several hours

Pitching Leverage to a socialist friend: "The heist team gets hired by people who have been victimized by these corporate baddies, so there is always a scene at the beginning where some lady is telling the team 'my dad died because he couldn't afford his diabetes medication after the new factory owner Joshua Dirtbag the Third cut his hours' and the team is like 'say no more. we will put on elaborate disguises and convince him to bet on a fake racehorse, and somehow at the end of it you will have all his money and he will go to jail'."
