no offence but the reason tumblr is “dying” is, well, yes, of course the cursed like/reblog ratio and the change in user behaviour (because of people being used to how instagram and tiktok work) BUT also the lack of weekly shows. i say it with my whole chest, they don't produce captivating and engaging stupid weekly tv shows anymore because streaming killed that so you have spikes of activity here when Something happens in general fandom or up to three days after a new season of whatever drops and then it's a wasteland. this is obviously an old woman yelling at a cloud missing supernatural and the vampire diaries and pretty little liars and all these other shows type of post but honestly give me back weekly tv shows where i have something to watch for 40 minutes almost every day of the week after work so then i can read and reblog it on tumblr give it back for the sake of my sanity

I'm begging other trans people to read an ounce of Black Feminist or Decolonialist Feminist writing. I'm on my hands and knees and begging you. I promise you, I promise you, there is so much more to Feminist theory than anything you have picked up from White/Radical/Pop/Liberal Feminism I promise you. Read There Is No Hierarchy Of Oppressions By Audre Lorde. I have a link to the PDF right here you can read it for free. Take my hand I can't do this alone (thanks glass beach). Peace And Love On Planet Earth.

the fact that we need 8 hours of sleep is ridiculous we should only need 4 and the other 4 should be used to be cozy in your bed and rub your legs together like a cricket and listen to music and think about your little scenarios

Do you have any tips on how to have a good urban-fantasy worldbuilding plan for the story?

World Building for Urban Fantasy

I don't write urban fantasy so I don't have a lot of personal world building tips. If I were going to write urban fantasy, I would start by fleshing out the normal world (when and were the story takes place, what this setting is like, etc. -- I would also choose a real city or town and use that as my setting or inspiration for a fictional city or town. (My post Setting Your Story in an Unfamiliar Place covers this.) Next I would flesh out the fantasy part of this world and how it fits into the normal world. Who is part of this parallel fantasy world and why? What types of people/creatures, etc. live there? Who knows about it and why? Who has access to it and why? Where and how does it intersect with the non-magical world, and how is it kept hidden? In what ways do the magical people interact with the normal world? You'll also need to flesh out your magic system. (see: 5 Tips for Creating a Magic System) and figure out who has magic, why, and how it's used.

Hopefully that will get you started in the right direction! :)

Hard to believe I've been on here for over ten years

Climate change has made many natural disasters worse than they were before, especially hurricanes, tornados, wildfires, and flooding. So I am curious:

Please reblog for more votes!

In the Tags: you answer + general area you live in. No need to be too specific.

#a decade ago i would have said a blizzard #but in recent years we've had tornadoes and severe thunderstorms that have taken down the entire power grid of my city for days or weeks #and we've started having earthquakes #and more heatwaves #more flooding #so uh i'm not sure what to choose so i went with a tornado #because another one of those will once again wreck our power grid no questions asked
