"Tell your favorite creators that you like their work, people usually enjoy things silently, but hate tends to be loud"

This is a phrase I just heard from Dnd shorts that captures perfectly why I often try to make the effort of commenting on posts and telling people that I enjoy their work and why Even to small creators, I advice everyone to make the extra effort to tell them, I can guarantee it makes all the difference in the world, it's not cringy or obnoxious, it'll just brighten someone's day

#text #random dambles #please don't think I only say this because of me #I'm very lucky to have gotten such nice messages and comments #I just feel like on every site I see less and less people interacting and saying how cool someone's work is #I've seen AMAZING artworks on all platforms with near to non comment #I know for a fact people engaging with your work is the favorite part of most if not all artists out there #so sad Jocat is retiring out of hearing the hate too loud

I think it's so adorable that early humans took wild gourds - a tiny fruit that hollows out as it dries, making it float - and decided to make something out of it

they thought the tiny fruit was so good that they bred it for thousands of years, making it larger to form into bowls and cups, and different shapes to become bottles and spoons

and musical instruments

And then, people took the hollow gourds they farmed, and they turned them into houses for birds. We adapted them into the perfect houses for birds, and now there are specific breeds of birdhouse gourd just for making into birdhouses

And humans dedicated gardening space and time and thousands of years of breeding to make the gourds so absolutely perfect for birds, that there is a species of bird that lives almost exclusively in them

#yes I KNOW i posted about this the other day but *crying* i just love plant domestication and the history of agriculture #and humanity's positive affect on the ecosystems we live in #mine #image IDs in alt text #hmm. I'm gonna tag this #permaculture #just to pspsps @ that community to look at how cool gourds are please everyone grow birdhouse gourds and give cavity nesters places to live #i don't think mine will become fully ripe before i get my first frost :( next year i need to start gourds indoors #i didn't want to grow them before because i didn't have much garden space but now i do and i need to grow all of them #i might be. a little obsessed with gourds. but also i saw a pair of purple martins flying by the road last year #and i had never seen one before then! and i need to see more of them #i have a few hundred barn swallows but i need more birds flying around my house. more!! #and also i have a ton of invasive cavity nesting species around here. house sparrows and starlings. #gotta make up for those things competing with native birds for nest dites #*sites #the invasive birds very often win :/ #that's why they're invasive #i really do need to start trapping them....

[Start ID. A drawing of @mieczmaszyna 's character Izzy. In the words of its creator, Izzy is a humanoid robot with a white chassis, oval head, black headset, square green glasses, claws, and a tail resembling a cable plug. Ai wears a cowboy hat, vest decorated by a star and bottle cap, pants with tassels, spurred boots, and a red bandanna. He's viewed from the side, kicking up one leg and holding both arms out in front of itself to shoot finger guns, looking excited and rather jaunty. The background is a dull yellow-green, muddied by the warm reddish tone of the drawing, and in paler green are the words "BANG BANG!!" by ais arms. End ID]

also ngl the way yall talk abt tiktok/anyone who has the app even casually is very much the exact same as 2012 tumblr's obsession with not being like facebook

like I'm half expecting a "we are declaring war on the tiktokers good omens fans get your halos ofmd fans get your swords stranger things fans get your bats" post at some point

#not to say there's nothing wrong w tiktok there's soooo much wrong w tiktok there's lots of nuance #but many ppl that hate it here are doing it in a very #well I'm too cool to like what the sheeple like way and it's truly so. #there's good tiktoks and there's bad tiktoks just like any other social media site #it's just that tiktok as a platform and how the algorithm works is really good at being bad for people #and ofc we should talk abt and recognize that but some people get so weirdly pretentious abt it like brother tumblr is not gonna fuck you

I used to go on quotev all the time when j was 10/11 years old (i put ago on acciden. I am not that old. I was a small child then.), and I blame it to this day for the reason I turned out how I did

5th grade me had no business reading fanfics and taking sans au quizzes (the sleepover ones hold a special place in my heart (I kinda hate them)) on that site

#that site scares me #i kinda made a friends (?) with one writter on their because i loved one of her fics and would always comment on it tho so thst was cool #qoutev #THATS A TAG?? #damn #i love vague posting my age in a way that makes it very obvious how old i am lkke. its so obvious reading my post/tags smtimes and uet #i never say it. amino instincts #i need to talk about amino so bad man #i made friends on that app. was expretemly unsafe abkut my privacy at 10/11 hears of age on that app #my first user name was (firstname)_(middlename) because i had no oncdpt of privacy and i actively gave away my age #girlie needed help back them #reese ranting about stupid shit

[grimlock]

there really is a genre of post of people who's online experiences are Not Universal making some wild claims

#like that post that claimed sites like neopets didnt exist anymore #or that there arent roleplaying forums anywhere #etc etc #like. yes it is possible to go on the internet and only go on like. the big social medias #but there ARE still many other sites outside that that are very worth checking out #hell. flash game websites and similar still very much exist!! #postatoes #like. i just feel sympathy for the OP when i see those posts because the posts are always so sad #over a nostalgia that is still there if you walk outside of the walmart of social medias and look for holes in the wall #like. has the internet changed? absolutely. but so much of the posts are less about that and more like. #the person browses the internet as an adult in a different way than they did as a kid #they arent looking up ''cool games'' and downloading a virus on their computer #as a counterpoint maybe kids DONT look this stuff up now and stick to tiktok or w/e /are missing out on so many fun websites #i wouldnt know #but it does bug me when i see people say these sites are gone forever when they arent

Do you love this skull? And the old internet? And attribution? You might like this :)

#this is delightful #i really am enjoying the newish trend of tracking down sources and creators of iconic internet things #also i find it very funny and crazy that people finding old websites #can't seem to process the concept of personal webpages #so many times in these sorts of things i see creators puzzling over 'why this was made' #because we're so steeped in corporate hosted social media sites and presences #that younger folks are just too distanced from the idea of just #making a personal site with your own random stuff and interests #disconnected from a Facebook or tiktok curated page #go make a geocities site and recapture being free! #this has gotten away from me somewhat #but i really liked this video and all the effort that went into it #i remember being in 7th grade picking through various rudimentary search engines #because google didn't exist and different sites trawled different content #looking for cool gifs and art #because little pixelated dragon gifs were the coolest damn thing to me #yes I'm old as shit‚ sorry #and a lot of this video brought back some of that #i miss it #long live jazz skull #Youtube #skull #skeleton #Halloween #doot skull #trumpet skeleton #spooky gifs
