The Magnus protocol took our intense fear of emails and said exactly but what if worse what if guy slowly succumbing to the Deep sat down at his desk and wrote you an email about it. What if computer text to speech program sent you a name and address of a goth and his gee-gee. What if a friend emailed you about the thing that is only partially their late lover haunting them. What if the email was actually a letter from the 1830s about a bloody violin. What if the email was a letter of resignation with way too many complaints about the enthusiastic volunteers. What if you got a compromising email about your boss murdering a former colleague. What if you got an email from said boss about a new hire. What if your email had more 're:'s than words in the title.
What would you do huh? How would you respond? What would you respond? When would you respond? It's been two days and the email is still marked as unread what will you do with huh? It's been 6 months and it's still in your inbox marked as unread even though you've read it every day since it was received. What are you going to do about the email

fun fact even if you're self employed and on your own schedule you can still appreciate the weekends because there's no fucking emails coming in

A paper presented at the Seventh Ulidia Conference on the Ulster Cycle of Tales, held at Ulster University, Belfast, June 2024.
No, this was not the official title of my paper.
Yes, this was my actual final slide and did remain on the screen for some time.
Yes, a few people laughed.
No, nobody brought it up afterwards. In fact, all the senior scholars were being incredibly nice about my paper, which suggests they read this in the most accurate way (completely sincerely and innocently).
This is probably for the best.

Submission form mysteries unraveled!
People who want to submit more than 1 photo at a time need to use the tumblr app to send their stuff in. The app allows you to attach up to 10 images in one post as well as add your own tags! I'm not a phone person myself and I know this isn't ideal for everyone but is the easiest on us who tag the inbox.
PC and browser tumblr users get the old style form with one image only. Some frustrated folks send in multiple images as a giant ask, and that's not ideal. We can't edit the ask to remove items against our TOS and often have to throw whole submissions out.
If you're on PC and using Legacy tumblr, your submissions come in broken, untaggable, and often have to go to the void for that alone. If there are phobias I can't tag, I just have to throw it away. I beg you to turn OFF legacy mode before you send things in.
tumblr ain't perfect, but it's the one social media place where you guys can send in your goofball finds this way and we love y'all and don't want you getting frustrated at the process. Thank you @this-is-not-a-slow-burn for helping me figure this out once and for all!

lmao sorry to everyone in my inbox, this month has been a mess and I'm just not really around enough for it. someone in my immediate family got a new cancer diagnosis, my not-art job got restructured because management is a joke and it's been.... not great, to be honest! to top it off, my mom's cousin just died because the major hospital didn't have enough beds open for the provincial hospital to transfer him. etc etc etc.
anyway. it's been a lot and I'm Very Tired Of Things Happening 馃檭
