🍓🍓 Reblog To Give Some Chocolate Covered Strawberries To Your Beloved Mutuals 🍓🍓

Damn. I am now in exestential crisis mode.

A few years ago, I went back to visit my childhood home. Boredom called, and I decided to drown it out by using some tactically applied high-RPM until I arrived at the location. This house is a lot different now, in both subtle and dramatic ways. Obviously, there's a different family living in it. The lawn is a little bit better kept, after my dad's heroin-chic attempts at re-wilding have been knocked down by a more conventional suburbanite approach. And Coco is gone.

Coco is the neighbour's dog. Or he was. Despite being a small, black puffball, he would bark furiously at me whenever I came out into the yard. Dogs don't live nearly long enough, and presumably at some point between when I left and when I returned, he passed onto the great hereafter, barking at an infinite expanse of angels for perceived injustices against dog-kind. In his place was another small, black puffball.

This new dog, who I was not lucky enough to get the name of, also barked furiously at me upon my approach to the property. Coco's successor was performing the same job, in the same spot, with the same asshole attitude, decades later, totally unaware of his predecessor's impressive body of work on this exact file, or even his presence on this cursed Earth. I started to feel a little woozy at the existential rush that contemplating this produced, and quickly returned to my car, where I purged the nitrous oxide a few times until I felt better.

That dog was lucky, in a lot of ways. He didn't have to think about leaving a legacy for the future, and could just focus on perfecting the art of yipping furiously at my presence. All dogs want the same thing, as long as they're put in that yard, and are small yappy creatures. Maybe humans are the ones that fucked it up, I ruminate as I slot the compressed-air shifter into the next gear in order to finally cease the several-minutes-long burnout that I had been doing in front of his house to really work his barky ass up.

🚨 Do's and Don'ts of asking for help on Tumblr 🚨

First of all, you chose the wrong website. None of us are privileged or wealthy. The most you'll usually get from an average Tumblerian is 10 dollars. Always remember that Tumblr is full of young adults and teenagers who are struggling with their own lives, NOT millionaires with an unlimited supply of money. Avoid pressuring people to donate or making them feel guilty if they can't or don't want to.

Do not overexcessively use emojis. Bots have been doing this since the dawn of time and it's what most people look out for.

Don't spam mentions. @ing hundreds of people in your post is annoying. You won't gain sympathy from anyone this way.

Another Tumblr blog "verifying" you is NOT and will NEVER BE valid. You need to validate yourself by offering evidence to support your claims. This could include photos, documentation, or links to relevant resources. Other Tumblr blogs are NOT qualified enough to verify that you are someone in need of genuine help.

Read people's bios/pinneds before sending an ask. Look out for stuff that says something like "do not send donation requests" or "do not ask for donations". This means that the person you're asking for help from will ignore your request completely and/or block you. This does NOT make them a bad person. Every person has the right to their own money.

Tag your posts appropriately. That way, people who want to find you will and people who don't want to find you won't. Use relevant tags to reach people who are most likely interested in donating to your cause.

While it's natural to express your emotions, avoid using overly dramatic or manipulative tactics to elicit sympathy. This can only make your situation worse and destroy your reputation. Overly dramatic posts can turn away potential donations, so be honest and transparent about your situation.

Don't neglect security. Posting your personal information online is DANGEROUS. I understand you're frustrated, but please don't take drastic measures, such as sharing your exact location, to make a point.

Consider the timing of your donation requests. Posting during peak Tumblr activity hours can increase visibility.

Be prepared to answer questions. People will ask questions in order to understand your situation better or to verify if you're a legitimate cause before donating. Be friendly, respectful, and honest.

Stay safe out there! Although not physically, we're with you in heart! ❤️🖤🤍💚

A tip for donaters:

Keep in mind that scammers will often use emotional manipulation to lure you in. Gaza scam bots are more common than real victims here on Tumblr, so always make sure you're donating to an honest source. I recommend donating to charities instead, if you can.

THIS SONG IS FUCKING AWESOMEEEEE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The next time you've got a friend over, set an example and put your phone on the table, visibly there but not too far away, to let them know that you're intentionally present, not distracted, your attention is undivided and you want to be fully focused on being right there to spend time with them. Don't mention it or draw attention to this, you're not doing this to be preachy or wanting praise, you just want to be a good friend and you value your friend's time. Ideally, your friend will either notice this or even pick it up without conscious notice, and set their own phone aside on the table as well.

Then, when your friend takes a minute to go to the bathroom, grab your phone and take a photo of your friend's phone sitting on your table. Do not touch it, and put your own phone back exactly where it was immediately once you've got the picture. Carry on with whatever you two were doing.

Once your time is up and your friend has left for home, wait for a good 15 minutes or so, for them to either get back home or be well on their way there. Text your friend, "hey, you forgot your phone", and send them the photo you took of their phone on your table. Set a stopwatch running from the moment your friend sees the message.

Measure how many seconds it takes for your friend to process this and tell you to go fuck yourself.

what if every Tumblr user suddenly looses their mouse?

Getting this out of my system, who know is I’ll ever finish it but here it is

Mt. Etna?????

Who is it?💕

Thanks! About the symbol, maybe we can all add our own for some extra national pride. I sure as hell would NOT mind a sun on there, tho that very well could be a slippery slope considering where exactly we live

My bad attempt at making flags

So some days ago, I saw this post on reddit.

This user made a flag for queer slavic people :D. That's pretty cool! However, there are some things that I didn't like about the design. First of I didn't like how it was all pastel, I mean it makes sense because this was posted on a subreddit for xenogenders and from what I've seen online a lot of flags for xenogenders use pastel colors. Second of all, I really don't understand why they added pierogi. I mean, pierogi is a slavic dish but only in poland, Ukraine, and Russia (am I wrong? Too lazy to check right) and here in the balkans, it kind of isn't.

So here's my attempt to make a flag that was heavily inspired by the reddit user above! All creative credit goes to u/somethingisbread! This isn't me stealing their design this is just me editing it as a slavic queer.

It's basically the same thing as the flag in the reddit post. The only difference is that I didn't make the colors pastel, and I removed pierogi. I wanted to add a different symbol to represent queer slavic people. I want to add an owl to represent our slavic mythology and paganism and also our slavic brother/sisterhood because in every slavic language, we have the same word for owl (that is sova/сова). Unfortunately, I currently can't find a good owl design that would go well with the flag.

The blue, red, and white represent the pan slavic colors, and the lavender represents queerness.
