#my return to tumblr #is it related to my probable but undiagnosed seasonal depression? #find out next week! #photography

[blithesylph]

woman in STEM alert: in my experiment of scrolling through my Tumblr dashboard for the first time since august(?), I have observed my heart rate increasing! time to log off!

#my thesis is that social media makes me anxious and therefore it sucks #thank you and goodnight

[blithesylph]

hey so remember how your boyfriend was so soaking wet and shivering that i put him in the dryer? well he got caught in the lint trap. yeah i can't get him out. sorry

[blithesylph]

woah! scrolling through the dashboard for the first time in A While and this is fucking weird! why are people specifically making posts to argue points? who are you talking to? why are people trying to educate themselves on a social media platform? what is this strange place we call social media? 

#I am an anthropologist visiting the ruins of a city in which I used to live #but it is no longer home #wait #archaeologist? #whatever

[blithesylph]

having been off of this site and a lot of other social media for the past several months, rereading the way I wrote some of my posts is a little weird! who talks like that? seriously? who?

#I am coming back because I got my film developed and I want validation #I hate instagram for reasons that I am going to consciously choose not to overshare #as well as the obvious reasons

[blithesylph]

I love the carpenters no other music group can be so cheesy while making you want to kill yourself

#karen carpenter just as the most melancholy voice #there is nothing I want more than Michelle Zauner to cover Rainy Days and Mondays

[blithesylph]

tell me why every romance novel has to have a blurb from Ali Hazelwood on the cover! why??? I hate that woman!

#I blocked her on goodreads #I can't bear to see her stupid reviews at the top of every book page! #l;asdflkj

returning from the dead to say that if I have to read one more fucking love poem about citrus fruits I'm going to commit a felony

 i keep thinking about the tweet that’s like matt smith is great for the got series because he is handsome but in a way where you can’t rule out inbreeding

#lol

[blithesylph]

#my writing #book reviews #the lilac reads

[blithesylph]

[blithesylph]

So my Dad and brother took separate cars to dinner tonight, and this happened.

[blithesylph]

you know that slate advice column how to do it? seems like every single response includes 'maybe try opening things up' like at some point suggesting polyamory sounds like the laziest possible advice

#polyamory and open relationships are cool and all but I highly doubt that is the solution for many people's relationship problems

[blithesylph]

i can’t do this anymore i’m deleting instagram AND tumblr wish me luck girlbloggers au revoir

#not deleting my accounts i just need the apps off my phone!!

[blithesylph]

i’m glad he’s fine so i can laugh at this. one of the absolute sentences of all time.
