how does tumblr even work do you just like talk to yourself until people are like "i like this one"
this is actually exactly how it works
i like irish poetry. i like knowing a man called tadhg ó ruaic, fl. 1684, lost a game of cards to a girl called blánaid on purpose because he wanted her to top him
you penetrate my weak defence / teasing me with anxious love / i know the score; my turn to play / against your side i make my move ... blánaid, my dear, my favourite one / gentle, fragrant, guileless love / it’s time for you to trump my man / and ‘take’ me with a daring move ... come sit beside me, woman of the wavy hair / embrace me, bright branch of the cool grey eyes / resolve my torment, generous-gentle woman / and ‘take’ me quickly to your merciful bed
extract translated from the classical gaelic by derek mahon
IS BEING HYDRATED REALLY WORTH ALL THIS PEEING?
Hi friend! Fun fact! The human body can only absorb one liter of water per hour, and not all at once! Likely the reason you’re peeing so much is because you’re taking in too much water at a time, so your body just flushes it through your system as opposed to absorbing it. A good rule is ¼ liter every 15 minutes. Don’t get me wrong, there are definitely times that I want to (and will) glug a whole liter like it’s nothing, but steady hydration throughout the day is key! -Your friendly local wilderness first responder who rehydrates people for their job :)

Filing a claim takes less than ten minutes, and can be done HERE
Excerpt from article:
Anyone in the U.S. who used Facebook in the last 16 years can now collect a piece of a $725 million settlement by parent company Meta tied to privacy violations — as long as they fill out a claim on a website set up to pay out money to the social network's users.
The settlement stems from multiple lawsuits that were brought against Facebook by users who claimed that the company improperly shared their data with third-party sources such as advertisers and data brokers. The litigation began after Facebook was embroiled in a privacy scandal in 2018 with Cambridge Analytica, which scraped user data from the site as part of an effort to profile voters.
Meta denied any liability or wrongdoing under the settlement, according to the recently created class-action website. However, the agreement means that U.S. residents who used Facebook between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022, can file a monetary claim as long as they do so before August 25, 2023.
Please reblog to signal boost this! As many people as possible should know about this to make their claim, if you don't do anything you don't get anything. It takes less than ten minutes to file and pick your payment option including pay/pal and ven/mo .
the fantasy genre is fun because most of the audience has read tolkien and seen stuff based on tolkien and has pretty much zero other genre awareness. "there should be more badass femme wizards" you are talking about granny weatherwax from the bestselling series discworld available in a dozen languages. "the hero's journey is boring and we need to see the real consquences of lives lived like that" you are talking about uklg's tehanu, which was written before you were born and has sold millions of copies
"more *clap* brown *clap* magic *clap* users *clap*" sparrowhawk. that's not even a deep pull. that is sparrowhawk. there's an anime about him and everything
"i want a hero who's weak as hell and trans-coded and can't stop sucking dick and i'm not kidding" elric of melnibone. i could go on all day. how many of these complaints are just "i want a reactionary major network to option something they find radically ideologically disagreeable and throw it in a rock tumbler until not even the skeleton remains"? apparently like 90% of them!
