how did you get the magnifying glass badge? i don't see it in the shop but i didn't hear about any event either!

Oh good, it's still there... I did find it in the tumblr badge shop (on iOS mobile, not sure if that makes a difference) by clicking on the little icon on the top right of the screen.

After that it just shows up for me in the shop. I don't think I did anything to make it appear, but I did claim it and then add it to my badges on my profile.

UPDATE: Food Packages!

Hussam managed to put together 150 food packages with feta cheese, halva, biscuits, sugar, salt, yeast, cooking oil, tomato sauce, and canned legumes! He also put together another set of 200 vegetable packages.

Thanks to all your help, Hussam’s able to put together packages like these to feed the people of Gaza in the midst of such a difficult time! There’s a special message in the video to everyone, so please take the time to watch it!

Please continue donating and spreading the word — every penny means so much! Feel free to share our campaign link to other platforms as well!

Donate to our GoFundMe which goes directly to Hussam, who manages camps in Rafah, with NO middleman in between!

[ID: Video of packages of food with the aforementioned items displayed infront of the packages to showcase the contents. There is a 'Tumblr' sign in front the packages and the '#helpgazachildren' tag underneath them. There is a second part to the video where we see plastic bags of veggies. The tumblr sign is infront of these packages as well.]

In writing, epithets ("the taller man"/"the blonde"/etc) are inherently dehumanizing, in that they remove a character's name and identity, and instead focus on this other quality.

Which can be an extremely effective device within narration!

They can work very well for characters whose names the narrator doesn't know yet (especially to differentiate between two or more). How specific the epithet is can signal to the reader how important the character is going to be later on, and whether they should dedicate bandwidth to remembering them for later ("the bearded man" is much less likely to show up again than "the man with the angel tattoo")

They can indicate when characters stop being as an individual and instead embody their Role, like a detective choosing to think of their lover simply as The Thief when arresting them, or a royal character being referred to as The Queen when she's acting on behalf of the state

They can reveal the narrator's biases by repeatedly drawing attention to a particular quality that singles them out in the narrator's mind

But these only work if the epithet used is how the narrator primarily identifies that character. Which is why it's so jarring to see a lot of common epithets in intimate moments-- because it conveys that the main character is primarily thinking of their lover/best friend/etc in terms of their height or age or hair color.

I'M ONLY GOING TO SAY THIS ONCE

I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, you can combine one 8oz can of pumpkin puree with one box cake mix (any kind but spice cake is best) and about 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, drop by tablespoon-ish onto a greased/parchment/silpat cookie sheet, and bake at 350F for 13-16 minutes

if there are no spices in either your cake mix or pumpkin puree i suggest adding warm spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves

"brbr but what if cishet aro men want to join the lgbt community to gain access to resources?"

A: what resources?

B: p sure "the lgbt community" is either opt in or opt out- it's not like you send an application and need a letter of approval

C: and? If you don't want to date him don't date him. If you don't want to fuck him don't fuck him. I assure you that you will survive.

"but what if he's just leading innocent women on?" Well those women are very capable of making sure they're compatible with their prospective partners so either he's a shithead that lies (in which case the problem is that he's a shithead that lies), or they talked about what their relationship means and are fine with the arrangement (in which case... why do you care???)

And like. Anyone can be a shithead that lies. Are we going to start quizzing everyone to make sure no one's lying about being lesbian gay bisexual or transgender? Do I need to get my queer license renewed every year or is this more a one-and-odone type of thing? What council of gayhood do I need to report to?

I often wonder how many of my sales come from tumblr and I think I have the answer.

All of them.

Literally all of them.

I didn't reblog my advertisement post for 5 days and didn't get a single order, even though I pay for Etsy ads.

I reblogged my advertisement post, and got FIVE orders.

now I realize it isn't always going to be like that, but it sure makes me wonder if paying for Etsy ads literally does anything or if I am just better at marketing my stuff because I know my audience, or a little of column a and a little of column b.

It is an interesting place to be in for sure. Anyway, thank you tumblr for making my business possible i love you bye

legendary

there are QR code posters here in Melbourne for reporting graffiti to the council - and someone has been printing their own and carefully placing them over the official ones

they lead to a documentary on hip-hop/graffiti culture

it's perfect because the QR posters are uglier than any bit of street art

“If you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustle” my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.
