All aboard the International Sp-Ace Station

But the thing about this world Tommy is that the only universal language is honest and open communication. And we've had that emotionally vulnerable conversation, we've spoken that language, in the therapy pit. its over Tommy.

mcytblr users don't even need context, they see someone say "i hope sapnap dies horribly" and hit reblog with minimal questionings

I think it's important to remember, as a rule of thumb, if you take advantage of a social service, it actually makes it easier for other people who need that service to access it. Most of the time, when these services get cut, it's because politicians will look at usage and say "see, no one is really using this thing, we can afford to trim the budget for food stamps by at least half". Whereas if you decide to step up and use these programs, even if you feel like you "don't really need it", at bare minimum it's another data point advocates can use to say "hey, look, people are using this thing, this is an important service we are providing, do not cut our funding".

I work at a nonprofit, and it is absolutely wild explaining to folks that being part of a program that reduces their energy bill actually helps us get funding to help even more people get energy bill savings.

You aren’t taking resources from anyone by using programs you qualify for. You are making a case for those programs being important enough to continue to exist and (in many cases) grow.

We live in a world so controlled by the idea of resource scarcity that we reason "If I get help, that must be taking help away from someone else!"

After noodling around on the world for a bit I have to say that the most insane part of the dsmp to me is how close together everything is

like listen this is DEEPLY comedic to me. someone get this place some zoning laws because there's no way this was allowed

Husbands! They are happy! And i got to test out the pixel brushes!

Hey! My name is Anloartreduster, and here is my first post. This drawing is of a seagull I found a year ago in a part I often visit.

how to find literally any post on a blog in seconds (on desktop)

there are so many posts about ~tumblr is so broken, you can’t find any post on your own blog, it’s impossible, bluhrblub~

I am here to tell you otherwise! it is in fact INCREDIBLY easy to find a post on a blog if you’re on desktop/browser and you know what you’re doing:

the tag system on desktop tumblr is GENUINELY amazing for searching within a specific blog! 

caveat: this assumes a person HAS a desktop theme (or “custom theme”) enabled. a “custom theme” is url.tumblr.com, as opposed to tumblr.com/url. I’ve heard you have to opt-into the former now, when it used to be the default, so not everyone HAS a custom theme where you can use all those neat url tricks. 

if the person doesn’t have a “custom theme” enabled, you’re beholden to the search bar. still, I’ve found the search bar on tumblr.com/url is WAY more reliable than search on mobile. for starters, it tends to bring posts up in a sensible order, instead of dredging up random posts from 2013 before anything else

if you’re on mobile, I’m sorry. godspeed and good luck finding anything. (my one tip is that if you’re able to click ON a tag rather than go through the search bar, you’ll have better luck. if your mutual has recently reblogged a post tagged #croissant, you can click #croissant and it’ll bring up everything tagged #croissant just like /tagged/croissant. but if there’s no readily available tag to click on, you have to rely on the mobile search bar and its weird bizarre whims) 

the archive/tagged trick is a lifesaver!!

a caveat on op’s caveat is that if your blog/the blog you want to search is older than [whenever they forced everybody into the tumblr.com/user change], most of these tricks will still work whether or not they have enabled “custom theme.”

tumblr works it’s just a closely guarded secret

Listen I do think everyone needs their little rpf pair. Even as a guilty pleasure or a "I have no actual belief in this" type thing. It's good for the soul

For @weepingllamaobservation and anyone else asking: This is from Prometheus and the Livewire, which is an INCREDIBLE fic set in Hermitcraft S9 about a corrupt King Ren and committing-crimes-against-nature Doc becoming increasingly sure the other is trying to murder them (and also, worse, maybe don’t want to be friends anymore. There is a hurt/comfort follow-up fic that is also very good)

The first few paragraphs, in case you want a sense of just how fucking good this is:

It’s 16k words of literary-quality writing, it deals heavily with themes of alcoholism/addiction and the author also has an entire animatic about it.

And several more animatics that aren’t technically PatLW but you should watch anyways bc they’re also about Ren & Doc & their whole S8 Friendship -> S9 Rivalry. And also because they rule severely

horror timeloop game where an entire group gets timelooped and have to work together to break out but realize in horror after a really good loop that one of them no longer remembers any of the progress made and now does the same thing every loop. they have to get out individually. they cant escape together. making progress means reducing the amount of people you have with you

Honestly how techno took the close third in stride is just... thats my streamer right there! He's there to remind us that at the end of the day its a video game competition for charity, and what truly matters this season is how much money we raised ❤
