Fun storytime before work:

Me and my friends went onto a campsite (it was supposed to be closed but shhh) to burn things we didn't want anymore (so I burned a picture of someone who left me, one friend burned school textbooks, one burned a shirt from an ex)

And when we first got there, we had been talking to the woods/the universe, and eventually we had said 'hey! If you want us to leave, give us a sign. A bird cawing, a shooting star, a deer, like a buck, or a bunny or something! And we will stop the fire and leave as soon as possible.'

So we managed to get all the way thru the burning and then, all at once, both a shooting star and a bird cawing (a single caw, and keep in mind its like 1 am)

So we put out the fire and book it out, and on the way down we SEE A BUCK. So yeah I drove down a mountain at 60 what about it

Anyway sometimes I remember the universe, even tired and busy, likes to listen

Also YES we did leave offerings for her (chicken and weed, we didn't have any tobacco sadly)

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

I'm not certain as to how many people checked the description of the new hbomberguy video but he linked a playlist to queer creators on youtube!

Your New Favorite YouTubers - Queer YouTubers you should check out, meticulously compiled by Kat.

It's worth a look! Please don't forget to support your fellow queer creators on YouTube whilst spreading memes and jokes about James Somerton and discussing the hbomberguy video!!

EDIT: @cursedgamerchild pointed out THIS REDDIT THREAD made by Kat

Which is a thread to share more discoveries of plagiarism and also to share more queer creators who could use some love! There's also a link to a google form if you don't have reddit and want to share said information.

#hbomberguy #james somerton #plagiarism #idk what to tag this as but please check the playlist out!!#I can attest to some of the creators on there already they're fantastic!#Plagiarism and You(Tube)#I did not make this playlist #this is something he linked and i know a lot of people are memeing right now and that's great #i just don't want the point of the video to be lost on tungle

I Did It

Ok, this is amazing I recently passed the Tumblr shoelace ritual. Long story short, I was at a market day in my school and saw some stickers. Gandalf's big naturals. Even as someone who doesn't really spend that much time in the LoTR/Hobbit area of Tumblr, I knew about That. I couldn't help myself, it was right There. Probably far to giddily holding that Gandalf sticker (with wasn't just a normal old big naturals, mind you. That wizard was in a laced bra, usually enough to turn me redder than a tomato)

"Which one of you designed this?" I asked on of the two people at the stall (ps everyone was selling their own sruff, so I wasn't afraid in the slightest that the creator of this wouldn't be there.)

"She did," the one I talked to responded. Oh my heart was pounding. All social awkwardness completely evaporated in the face of THE most Tumblr Thing I could do.

"I like your shoelaces." Gosh, I wish I could have talked to literally anyone with half the confidence that I had in that moment. I'm pretty sure I saw just a tiny bit of life drain from their eyes. I'm so sorry but c'mon. Gandalf Big Natruals stickers. Did you really think you could avoid this?

"Thanks. I stole them from the president." I WILL RIDE THAT HIGH FOR THE NEXT MONTH, AT LEAST.

ps. If anyone finds my new buddy (I know it's unlikely but gotta give it a shot.) Just want to let you know that their art is amazing and you should definately by something from them if they take commissions.

#artists on tumblr #tumblr milestone #support small creators #i like your shoelaces #tumblr shoelaces #tumblr culture #tumblr things #this sure is a webbed site #thank you tumblr #for momentarily shooting my social anxiety point blank #it was great
