I've decided that I'm going to actively avoid political content here on Tumblr. I'll use it as my "the world sucks and is stressful" escapism place.
Facebook, NPR, and face-to-face give me plenty of info about what's going on in the world. I don't need Tumblr memes too.

I walked past some lilac bushes on my way to lunch today and the smell brought me so much joy. I almost forget, from one spring to the next, how much I love it.
I'm thinking about getting some lilac scented stuff, but it needs to be as realistic as possible.
Anyone have any recommendations?
Too late for me. Now I'm praying the embroidery hyperfixation comes back in time for me to finish this set of Christmas ornaments before next Christmas.
hyperfixation please stay with me long enough to complete the project. hyperfixation do not fade. hyperfixation finish what you started for the love of god
People who want to be awful are going to be awful.
What they read/watch/listen to/play might affect what flavor of awful they end up being, but not the basic state of awfulness.
"fiction affects reality" wrong "fiction doesn't affect reality" wrong
The decision to emulate or not emulate what we see in fiction is on the audience. It's YOUR responsibility to KNOW better like a reasonable ADULT.
Abusive people are going to be abusive regardless of what total strangers are writing on Tumblr. Because being an abusive person is an active series of decisions that you make. You don't get to blame murder on Satanism and metal music in goddamn 2025
I need to show this to my kid

This is cool and awesome and amazing science and all that, but I have one question:
Why do we keep talking about de-extincting Ice Age animals in a warming world?

My absolute favorite outfit from the 2025 Met Gala, because of its sheer cleverness.

staples?! he made a basket with staples?!
I've made very little progress on either this scarf or this book.
The scarf I'm not bothered by. Any knitting project I'm not having fun with I'll either set aside and come back to or unravel and do something else with the yarn. No big deal.
The book though...
It's like, I want to know what happens, and the answers to the various mysteries, but I'm not actually enjoying the process of reading these novels. The writing style just doesn't fit my brain.
I'm considering just abandoning the book and reading the Wikipedia page instead. That'll answer my questions well enough.
Current knitting: a simple garter stitch scarf, using fuzzy yarn from Dollar Tree. I'm working in random colors, with two strands together. The goal is warmth and softness rather than beauty.
Current reading: "Area X" by Jeff Vandermeer. This is the omnibus edition of the Southern Reach trilogy. I finished the first book, and honestly, I'm not sure I'd keep going if the second book wasn't in the same volume. It's not bad, but it's a very different writing style than I usually read.
One thing that I think Facebook and YouTube do better than Tumblr is giving people the ability to opt out of specific ads.
Especially being able to tell them that the reason you don't want to see that ad is because it's not relevant to you.
I don't mind a reasonable number of ads in exchange for a free service, but the ones here on Tumblr are so horrifically misaimed and there's no way to tell them that.
