I love when musics are relatable in the most unexpected ways

Like wow! My body's spots also resemble dried apricots! What a fun way to be connected to this :}

Tumblr is so funny because it's like just my little friend group and we're a group, a squad perhaps. None of them know eachother.

I know tumblr is held together by digital duct tape and everything but i really do like it. The posting system especially. Like you can make whatever sort of posts, a short textpost, a gifset, a video, a song, a link, and any combination of that. What other site lets me post a dozen paragraphs broken up by images and gifs.

Im not restricted in character count like on twitter, im not restricted to video format like tiktok, or to a caption below an image slideshow/video like IG, or to a single video like youtube, or to any variation of stories. Resdit has the right idea with tge long text posts and video/image/link options. but tumblr lets you have nearly the same freedoms as the Op *even in the reblog option*

It offers a level of freedom in the content format that i really don't know if i can see elsewhere on other well-known sites.

Plus the timeline is actually chronological and not controlled by an algorithm. The search bar is absolute dogshit, plus the adult content ban is bullshit. But like, for all its flaws it offers a surprising level of originality and everything.

Like where am i gonna go to rant about my creations if tumblr goes under or changes completely? I'd honestly just have to start my own site if i hope to have that sort of control over my post formats yknow.

With the lack of targeted ads, displayed follower numbers, mandatory public likes, word censorship, and connected personal info, i think it's the sort of site that we really won't know we'll miss until it's gone.

no tumblr-like sites are gonna appear again. The reason tiktok grew so big was because of its intense algorithms and appeal to ease of virality, stuff that's really necessary if a site wants to make it. Tumblr's sort of been grandfathered in from a different time. Any tumblr-like site that's made now won't have the momentum to compete.

So like, just remember. It may be a hellsite, but at least it's the first of the nine circles

okay so i'm about to be back on my tinfoil hat bullshit, but i just saw a textpost talking about how the "phantom of the opera" melody being used by vanya to open the show was foreshadowing of her journey during season one and how leonard was obviously symbolic of the obsessive phantom who stalks and manipulates christine, and how christine (under the watch of the phantom) rises to become the top singer in the opera via the illness of the previous prima donna.

and then i thought about it more and realized HOLY SHIT FIVE IS RAOUL.

if you're not a former embarrassing theatre kid and aren't familiar with phantom, raoul is christine's long lost childhood best friend who reunites with her and knows she's kinda fucked up but vows to protect her anyway and is devoted to her and saves her from the phantom and she simultaneously is in love with raoul and captivated by the phantom who knows a lot of shit about her relationship with her father and uses it as well as his musical teachings to keep her trapped with him. and in the end, christine and raoul end up together.

so i was listening to "think of me" the song where raoul first appears to christine after all those years and i'm just....

"Think of me, think of me fondly 

When we've said goodbye 

Remember me, once in a while 

Please promise me you'll try 

When you find that once again you long 

To take your heart back and be free 

If you ever find a moment 

Spare a thought for me

We never said our love was evergreen 

Or as unchanging as the sea 

But if you can still remember 

Stop and think of me 

Think of all the things 

We've shared and seen 

Don't think about the way 

Things might have been

Think of me, think of me waking 

Silent and resigned 

Imagine me trying too hard 

To put you from my mind 

Recall those days 

Look back on all those times 

Think of the things we'll never do 

There will never be a day 

When I won't think of you

Can it be, can it be Christine? 

Bravo! 

Long ago, it seems so long ago 

How young and innocent we were 

She may not remember me 

But I remember her

Flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade 

They have their season so do we 

But please promise me that sometimes 

You will think of me."

like...... please let this be foreshadowing holy shit????

[conversation-material]

useless facts about ancient roman law

copied from another textpost that i found on instagram and can't find here so here goes

if you call someone to witness and they refused to show up, you are legally entitled to stand outside their house and scream, but only every third day.

you can sell your son into slavery once or twice, but after the third time he doesn't have to put up with your bullshit anymore

no wailing allowed at funerals

speaking of funerals, you're only allowed to have ONE funeral per person. don't get greedy.

if your neighbor's tree has a branch hanging into your yard, you can legally cut down the entire fucking tree

however, if some of your neighbor's fruit from his dumb tree falls into your yard, he can legally come into your yard to snoop around get it

if you call someone to witness and they're too sick or old to get to court themselves, you have to provide a cart for them to come in, but it doesn't have to be, like, a nice cart if you don't want to

the penalty for writing a song slandering someone (it's very specific on the song bit) is getting clubbed to death

if you hurt someone (or if you just sort of inconvinience them) through magic arts, the pentalth is also death

however if you maim someone's limb through normal limb-maiming processes you just sort of have to sort things out between yourselves

if there's a road right next to your property, feel free to build a fence around it to prevent people from driving into it, but if you don't build a fence then tough shit

[alexciting-blog1]

Storytime!

okay so I rarely make my own textposts, but then, up to this year, I didn’t really have any good stories to tell...

So earlier this year, I was on a religious retreat at the Mont Saint Michel with my Catholic-as-fuck private French school. Everything had been going all right, it had been a couple of weeks since the priest had done anything particularly offensive (such as tell the girls that we would all be pregnant within a decade and that it was inevitable as we are essentially baby-making machines, or imitating French Créole accents in the most patronizingly racist manner, or making fun of Muslims, but I digress)

Anyway. So we get back from the beach, there’s little less than a hundred of us, and to my dismay, they’ve separated the boys and the girls dorm buildings. Like, instead of putting us into separate dorms within the same building, the boys are staying a block away. Which means they have to walk a whole block to see us. Which sucks. Still not on topic though.

So they hand out these booklets, which have prayers and songs and biblical excerpts ect in them, and we stick them in our bags. It’s only a couple hours later, until I actually flip through them, that I gasp in utter horror.

There was a badly translated Pope speech, to which two pages of the booklet were dedicated. One of the paragraphs was useless to the point of the speech, but it had the most transphobic bullshit in it, that I’m absolutely sure is due to liberties taken by the translator. (Talking about the abomination of gender studies and teachings, and how people can’t just “change genders” yada yada “I hate social progress” bullshit)

I got super pissed. I crossed out the offensive paragraph, and wrote “les droits des personnes trans sont une urgence” in next to it (a chant that resonated at Paris Pride 2016, “Trans people’s rights are an emergency”). I was ranting about it through dinner, and through mass (although quietly because duh, mass), and this one teacher seemed pretty supportive and open-minded, so some of my faith in humanity was restored.

I went up to my dorm, grabbed a pen and paper, and wrote a petition for my LGBTQIA+ Parisian youth association (MAG) to come give one of their IMSs, Intervention en Milieu Scolaire, which translates to school intervention, I guess. The mag does these regularly; they go to schools and talk about homophobia, lesbophobia, biphobia, transphobia, and inclusivity. 

After that, I went down to the courtyard, and started asking people to sign. Over the next few days of the trip, I kept asking people to sign. The teacher didn’t want to get implicated in it, which saddened me, but she had encouraged me to speak up against it in the first place, and she continued doing that. 

Of course, in this school, during my signature collection, I witnessed a lot of very saddening displays of transphobia, but that didn’t stop me. 

Over the course of a week, I had gathered 52 student signatures, out of a class of less than a hundred. Most people I had talked to were uneducated about the issue, but very open-minded about hearing more about it and interested in my explanations. I got a lot of smiles, nods, pats on the back, and “good luck”s from people of whom I least expected it.

Once I reached my goal, I started doing research into whether it was possible to make it easier for the catholic administration to swallow, and found a bunch of french articles about the Pope talking to a trans man, even though most of them were ultra transphobic (which is why I’m not linking them), the actual Pope himself was very civil, open-minded, and never said a thing against the transgender community.

It’s kind of the same phenomenon as when something is great, or ok, but the fandom sucks. I found one website that was very Catholic and very open to trans issues, but sadly I’ve lost the link.

I then talked to the guy in charge of MAG IMSs, and gave him contact access to the people who would deal with administration at my school.

After a couple days of nervously having the petition and offensive booklet in my backpack, I finally went to hand it in, with a good friend for moral support.

I was terrified and numb while handing it in; the rest of the day, I was twisting my hands thinking “what have I done, what have I done, what have I done”

A few days later, my father (who is on the school board) came home after a meeting and asked me to sit down.

He told me that the principal had slid him the petition to him during the meeting quietly, and said “look what your daughter has been doing”

I might want to add that between the trip and that moment, I had been voted class delegate, which means that I was the one to attend meetings in the name of my class, and represent them, as well as meet with the principal on a regular basis to discuss issues.

He already knew me on a first name basis for several reasons. During my internship, there had been awkward moments when I ran into him at the bakery, he would strike up a conversation, and I would have to introduce him to my colleagues (”Hi guys! This is my principal. No pressure”)

So he had to talk to my father, explaining that it was impossible for the IMS to happen, because half of the school’s parents were ultra-Catholics who don’t believe in contraception and would pull their kids, money, and good name out.

Just a couple years ago, when same-sex marriage was legalized in France, there was a huge parent fight between my best friend’s mom (who is a professor in some kind of anti-discrimination class, maybe gender-equality, not sure) and the mega-Catholics which exploded dramatically.

His exact words were “this is how a principal gets fired”.

My dad told me that there was no way it was going to happen, and he agreed with me in my hysteric breakdown that “it wasn’t fair and that the dumb conservatives were ruining the world”. He admitted later in a conversation with my mom’s friend that he was “secretly proud of me for doing it”. 

So all I got, for all of that trouble, was a speech during the next mass: “look around you, look at the diversity, the different people from different heritages” yeah because it’s illegal to not admit a student based on their race, congratulations for being within the law and not being a total discriminatory piece of shit, do you want a cookie?

Oh and then the priest wanted to “speak to me privately” but I kept blowing him off and he kept forgetting because he’s a senile idiot, so he never even got to lecture me, yay!

So yeah. What I got out of this ordeal is that most of my classmates are decent people and that my parents are supportive. But the world is still going to shit. yay!
