#but it is mostly just... musk

Hnngh I got this body lotion from Bath n Body Works (mistake) and it smelled so good in the bottle but on my skin it is SO perfumey and awful, I just had to shower to get it off me..... literally burned the back of my sinuses and was making me nauseated.

hey guys it would be a VERY bad idea to get his sweater he left here and smell it right? That would be a very bad thing to do, right? Right? I shouldn't do that, right? Right?

kind of crazy how the person who owns and controls one of the most used websites in the world, which is often seen as a current events/news platform, can be so close with a presidential candidate that he's part of his family photo and it's all just like.. allowed and normal

i finally deleted twitter! it sucks that i’ve lost that little corner of the fandom, but it didn’t make sense to maintain once it was in musk’s hands, so this was long overdue. i will always credit the skam fandom that i found over there back in 2017 for shaping me as a writer, as well as for inspiring me to travel. i know it was considered a toxic place for the fandom even back then, but it was a platform i grew up with and could communicate on, which meant i connected with some very lovely people. i was devastated when my original account was suspended back in like, 2021? because i had lost a lot of early writing and some friends who had moved on to other fandoms at that point. but i tried to take screenshots of what i had left. a lot of my links to twitter won’t work now, either, but that’s what you get when you depend on someone else as an archival tool.

anyway, a couple of years ago i was thinking about even’s notebook and that became these tweets below the cut. my shorter ideas might end up here now, or on bluesky.

going to be real I don’t and have never felt any particular urge to move off twitter. like sure the site is full of bots and the worst people alive but I kinda don’t care. I guess my compartmentalization is airtight bc I truly have never once even thought “man I wish there was a better social media site to move to” I was only concerned about the prospect of its slow decay over the years bc I live mentally in elf years. the biggest thing is that I miss roe being on it I guess but otherwise whatever

Capitano fans quick question....

Do you think capitano would love listening to billy joel because his musical leimotif is the piano and billy joel is the piano man.

[bedcorpse]

“gerards ex fiancee from before i was fucking born is a musk fangirl now!!!” wow its almost like people can radically change over the course of 20 years. also have yall never dated a fuckass loser before sometimes people get horny blinders and will date some truly wacked out people

Putting my love and deepspace brainrot on this blog BC idk where else to put it LMAO but here is my goblin thought of tonight:

I can't help but picture MC pestering Dr. Zayne with questions like this and him just sighing deeply LMAO

[marklikely]

the other day i found out that ghost stories was not. originally a flop and in fact was really successful in japan when it first aired so there was literally no reason for the english dub to be Like That.

your gifs are there if i'm not wrong right?

Mine along with several other gif makers on here, yeah. It’s very funny when twitter users steal gifs because they are sized for tumblr (which already forces them to be lower quality than what’s possible bc of 1. the ideal gif width to avoid them being super compressed on here and 2. actual file size restrictions), and when they get reposted again to twitter, they look sooo much worse on there. f1twt is just 80% stolen tumblr & reddit content, rage baiting for attention, and weirdo discourse about wags. what a place.

[jackawful]

every time I look into a social or even sociomaterial ill tied to The Project Of Constructing Whiteness it winds up going back to the establishment of landed gentry a couple hundred years before White was a solidified category but like...it's all a result of then-new social norms among landed gentry in the transition from the dark ages to the middle ages & the norman invasion of france

what I'm saying is maybe the solution is everyone stops saying "you" and starts thou-ing each other again

Musk beetles 🪲🪲🪲

My pastels showed up today so I've spent half an hour having a bit of a play around! The above is my third and favourite, hopefully I'll make some good progress from here

Below are my other two, which are at least fun!! I really started getting the hang of it on bug 3 though

[somekindanerd]

Out commerical fishing again this summer but I didn't say goodbye because I got a starlink to bring out this year! And it seems to be mostly working! This thing is dope as hell, letting me look at silly pictures on the internet after backbreaking work catching salmon. Been slowly crafting a solar setup the last few years to get some power and it's still in a messy half configuration but hoping to have it beefed up a bunch by the end of the summer.

[sugarspunfaerie]

Guess who left the Blue Bird Hell Site lmao

[justmossyaps]

it would be nice to have someone in office who is both right and, yknow, a decent person. like these two things do not have to be mutually exclusive

BEGINNERS GUIDE TO BLUESKY

Hiya! Curious about joining bluesky but intimidated by all the features? Already on bluesky but want to learn more? Then welcome to my quick guide on getting started and navigating bluesky!~

What is Bluesky?

it’s a social media site that’s owned by no single person or company. it's aim is to bring back the early days of twitter before bots, elon musk or algorithms took over. Personally I find the site really cozy, wholesome, and engaging. my Bluesky account for example

What’s unique about Bluesky?

→ CUSTOMIZATION: ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎your timeline is very easy to control. There’s tons of options, so be sure to go through each tab in your settings. some options include: turning off autoplay, changing the order in which threaded replies show, changing DM settings, content preferences and lots of visual app settings.

→ MODERATION LISTS: human made, mass blocklists. These are public lists of accounts that when you subscribe to you automatically block or mute everyone in that specific blocklist. A great way to avoid unwanted content, and interactions. ✦ Moderation lists I recommend will be below the cut

→ STARTER PACKS: recommendation lists on who to follow, made by users. You can even curate your own starter pack of recommendations! ✦ Starter pack recommendations will be below the cut

→ FEEDS: public timelines, basically. There are a lot of feeds you can join, or you can even create your own. I made a feed featuring just my pixel art so it doesn’t get cluttered with text posts or other photos in my media tab. ✦ I’ll post feeds I recommend below and link you to a tutorial on how to create your own feed

→ BLOCKING/MUTING: bluesky has a great blocking system. When you block someone they can no longer see, or interact with you. They also have a feature to make your blog inaccessible unless logged in. you can also mute specific people, delete post replies, and even detach your post from a reblog. You can also mute specific words, phrases, tags etc.

→ NSFW: bluesky allows NSFW content, including artwork, porn, lewds etc. They also have a great moderation page to avoid the content completely, censor the content, or show it if you’d wish. ✦ just go to settings > moderation > toggle on NSFW settings and it’ll let you heavily moderate.

→ LABELS: this is a really cool feature on the site, you can subscribe to certain pages that enable a lot of fun/useful labels that help you in different ways! (like pronoun tags, artist tags etc) ✦ Labels to browse will be posted below

→ COMMUNITIES: the vastly diverse communities really feel like the best parts of tumblr. since you can so heavily curate your experience, it can really feel like a calming oasis. Mine is mostly artists, and other creatives.

there’s also a large community of professional artists, art directors, authors, celebrities, and even the best shitposters from twitter. the app really is what you make of it but it’s thriving right now.

OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS:

✦ EXPIRIENCE ENHANCING TOOLS RECS ✦ CLEARSKY: TRACK BLOCKS AND BLOCKLISTS ✦ SKYFEED: CREATE CUSTOM FEEDS EASILY ✦ use the block function often. do not entertain trolls or hate speech. ✦ as well as starter packs, there’s also lists! lists can be used in the same way to create curated lists of accounts. it’s a good way to keep track of specific genres of posters you’re interested in, and finding new ones! ✦ hashtags: use them! they’re beneficial in boosting your post. you can even link hashtags in your bio making you easier to find. another method of making you more visible is if you post an ‘interest’ post! basically just type things you’re interested in and it’ll help people find you / vice versa ! ✦ update your profile first thing, like bio avi etc. make a small post so people know you're real. interact and engage! the communities there are so welcoming!

I think that covers abt everything i wanted to cover! Hope this was helpful and thanks for reading lol
