no writing workshop can help you improve your writing as much as this screenshot can

damn ok lake superior

Ok yeah that lake is superior

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

so toxic the constant mixed messages i am receive in this relationship

Im losing my shit

"in spite of his sexism he's a very kind guy and his willingness too be himself unapologetically is really hot :3€"

It does sucks a lot because I am starting to feel that my tweets and the stuffs I shared on Instagram is not helping but if Palestinians said to share it anyway, I'm just gonna do just that

…… this isn’t my post. i didnt makethis post. why does it say i made this post

not to be boring and solve the fun mystery but it says that bc it’s a “chat” post, not a text post. which used to not include the OP’s username, so tumblr assigned you op I Guess (source: i made this post in 2014)

thank you for giving me custody of this post 🙏 i just picked it up from elementary school and tomorrow it has soccer practice

This

Is it just me or are the new tumblr users convinced there's a penalty of some kind for using this site like it's meant to be used?

reblogs have always been in short supply for artists, sadly, but it's hitting the shitposts and even the cat pictures lately. Gotta keep getting the word out that reblogs are good and keep people posting new material that will be passed around for the next 12 years

They’re used to other social media sites, where the only equivalent of reblogging is straight-up content theft; so the idea that you can put someone else’s stuff on your page and have it not be a bad thing is a strange experience for them.

They’re likely also used to an algorithm recommending content based on what they hit “like” on, so they probably think that that’s how this works, too.
