i'm seeing a lot of new ppl join tumblr who aren't making any spontaneous semi pathetic, oversharing personal textposts whatsoever and i just want to say you're doing it all wrong... this is not like instagram like meant to be some shiny highlight reel used to make u look good its supposed to be an incriminatingly revealing dark intimate look into your life & inner psyche while simultaneously no one knows who u are or gives a fuck... anyway hope this helps some of u get on the right track

#adjacent but isn't it hilarious how people want to be all palatable on the other websites but #on the other websites there's no chance of finding anything back from the past #and it would be considered creepy to dig it up #whereas here (if archive is turned on and especially when things are tagged) we can easily drag things up from eras long gone #i just think this is really funny because none of us on here are trying to make ourselves look good in any way #on the other platforms people try so hard and it's all for 5 seconds of 'fame' #i dont really have a point I'm just thinking about this and find it funny #also something something the mortifying ordeal of being known #you're free here. no one knows your face if you don't show it. you can show the dark depths of your soul though #which from my perspective is much closer to truly being known #ok I'll go back to my tumblr cave *waves* *swims off*

"Here are your tortured poets. All from Mahmoud Darwish to Dr. Refat Alareer to Khaled Juma, these are tortured poets. Tortured by longing for a home they can never return to, tortured by the world they were born to for BEING BORN. Palestine, home to the tortured poets department." [@/folkoftheshelf on X.

oh so in case anyone didn't realise, you can use add-ons in mobile firefox just like regular firefox, including ublock origin. and download newpipe for adfree yt too to like. never see a fucking ad online again.

#wait what's that about newpipe and Firefox? is there an add-on?? #ok it being mentioned in the same post had me confused because I thought it meant there was a way to combine them #I've finally downloaded newpipe now though 🔥 #thinking about it for years so this is good #done within 2 seconds hahaha why did i wait so long

this website is cuckoo bananas. for years i’ve been watching trans girls post “hey, have you considered that even though trans guys are obviously treated worse than cis guys, the limited male privilege that they do have access to means that they are taken more seriously, treated less dangerously & just respected more than trans women in most if not all circumstances” and everybody’s been going nuts like, calling us separatists, calling us “divisive” for even pointing out men in the trans community can be misogynistic etc.

and then today, i saw a pretty mild post from a trans guy saying “passing as a man is so weird. other men are treating me with more respect than they treat my girl friends in public now. i used to have to argue & cite 100 sources for anybody to listen to me, and now all i have a beard all i have do is say ‘hey maybe women should be treated better’ and everybody listens to me immediately”

….and then i go into the notes and there’s a bunch of transandrophobia bloggers saying “wow, you really opened my eyes… i never saw it this way before…” like am i going crazy??? am i the only one who sees the incredible irony here? maybe you guys… here’s a thought… should listen to women also?

I finished Nanny and she did not want to be rendered at all. Pfff

At any rate . Hier is the model.

It's not print ready if you would want to print it, so keep that in mind . Otherwise have fun with it and should you use it and upload the result somewhere, credit would be nice.

Next I gonna be working on a Aziraphale bust just so I can do the doll thing and just smooch their heads together like the weirdo that I am.

#amazing work wow!! #Good Omens art #Nanny Ashtoreth #Good Omens

which streaming service has the most vintage movies? If you don't know, maybe your followers could answer? 🙏

Ooh hoo hoo you asked and I'll answer!!

I actually made a post like this for the hot men tournament, but I can't find it now so I'll do it again from scratch. The short answer is that I don't know of any one streaming service that has all the old vintage movies—but most streaming services have a "classics" genre category that can get you started. Here's a small selection of what you can find on different streaming services:

TUBI (free):

The Adventures of Robin Hood (Olivia de Havilland)

A Streetcar Named Desire (Vivien Leigh)

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (Jane Powell, Julie Newmar)

North by Northwest (Eva Marie Saint)

The Music Man (Shirley Jones)

The Women (Norma Shearer, Rosalind Russell, Joan Crawford, Joan Fontaine, Paulette Goddard, several other hotties in small parts)

The Philadelphia Story (Katharine Hepburn, Ruth Hussey)

Notorious (Ingrid Bergman)

Bell, Book, and Candle (Kim Novak, Elsa Lanchester)

The Talk of the Town (Jean Arthur)

Dark Victory (Bette Davis)

KANOPY (free through some libraries):

Dial M for Murder (Grace Kelly)

His Girl Friday (Rosalind Russell)

Ball of Fire (Barbara Stanwyck)

Black Orpheus (Marpessa Dawn)

Flower Drum Song (Reiko Sato, Nancy Kwan, Miyoshi Umeki)

Marriage Italian Style (Sophia Loren)

The Rose Tattoo (Anna Magnani)

Tokyo Story (Setsuko Hara)

War and Peace (Audrey Hepburn, Anita Ekberg)

Salt of the Earth (Rosaura Revueltas)

Metropolis (Brigitte Helm)

The Red Shoes (Moira Shearer)

HOOPLA (free through some libraries):

The Court Jester (Angela Lansbury, Glynis Johns)

Sunset Boulevard (Gloria Swanson)

A Place in the Sun (Elizabeth Taylor)

Barefoot in the Park (Jane Fonda)

The Barefoot Contessa (Ava Gardner)

Wings (Clara Bow)

YOUTUBE (has a lot of older movies that have slipped through copyright/are still up for some reason):

Charade (Audrey Hepburn)

Story Weather (Lena Horne)

Gilda (Rita Hayworth)

Rebecca (Joan Fontaine)

This entire playlist of Indian cinema that I just found (Madhubala, Waheeda Rehman, Nargis, Meena Kumari, etc.)

And that's just a small sample. There is also always your local library for physical DVDs, the Internet Archive, and....other methods.....if you know exactly what you're looking for.

I haven't seen all of these movies, so don't consider them personal recommendations—these are just famous movies with our hotties in them, so please be careful if you have trigger warnings. Good luck and have fun!

#my hyperfixation is fine to find my blog #I've never put anything on there that i don't want them to see and i think that's good internet etiquette #but also there isn't really anything that I'd want to say or think that's disrespectful to them anyway #hard no to my family finding this here though but luckily most of them are not tech savvy #this here is my more personal blog. if my hyperfixation would look at this one it would be slightly odd but fine. #I'm very 'dear diary' on here in the tumblr kind of way. if they'd want to see that ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ #it would be no biggie. I'd say it might be fair even-to see what the brain of someone is like who's very aware of the workings of your brain #but i honestly don't think they would. for one because they've got better things to do. and another because it's just not their business #it genuinely would be fine though. but i don't think they would. respectful people.

everything about the Toymaker in this bit cracks me up;;; his innocent little 'oh?' face. his fake awe as he pretends to not know who John Logie Baird is. his ridiculous eyebrow quirk. god he's the worst 😂💖💖💖

Please don't tell me no one submitted Japan for this tournament (I'm unwell - I really learned about this tournament too late). I understand if you're not looking to publish an ask like this because we can't vote in their favour anyway, but can we collectively look at them for a second:

Sorry yeah they were definitely one of the bands I was expecting to be submitted but then they just weren’t? Honestly me and Gremlin are considering doing this again because we’re missing a lot of bands

#Japan #💖
