#old ladies of tumblr

A friend and I were out to lunch today, when these three people (two women and one man, who all looked to be in their 30s-40s) walked in together wearing EXTREMELY pink outfits, having quite clearly either just gone to see the Barbie movie, or planned to go see it after eating. I don't know why, but it sparked such DELIGHT in me to see adults my age getting dressed up in character to go out to lunch and a movie... and having a BLAST whilst doing it. No embarrassment. No shame. No avoidance of eye contact or awkward side-eye. Just unapologetic fun and whimsy and JOY... and it was contagious. Many of the adults in the restaurant were exchanging knowing smiles with them - and with each other - like we were all in on some silly, shared secret. As I'm sitting here typing this, I can feel a big, goofy grin spreading across my face all over again, and I can’t stop smiling.

There is such a steady, never-ending, overwhelming barrage of Bad Sh*t going on out there in the world right now, and, with social media always at our fingertips, the heaviness can sometimes feel suffocating and inescapable... but then, every so often, we witness something truly delightful, which forces us to pause and remember that humans are pretty neat, actually... and I don't know about you, but I sure needed that reminder today. Joy is always worthwhile, my friends. Embrace it. 💛

Saw your post about the blocking stuff. You don’t have your age in your bio and alot of people block ageless blogs

I... really? I mean, I say that I'm "most likely older than you" - which, knowing what I know about the age demographics of tumblr's user base, is true - but do I actually have to state my exact age in my bio? Couldn't anyone just fake their age to avoid being blocked? I just...?

Hello, tumblr. If you are a typical tumblr user, I am probably at least old enough to be your mother (I'm well over 30). If that makes you uncomfortable, feel free to block me! ✌🏻

Anyway. Thanks for the tip, Nonny!
