this is so nostalgic. tumblr rolls out something terrible. everyone complains. it breaks several people's dashboards. for some reason it only rolls out to a few people at a time with seemingly no warning. the community collectively and immediately searches for a browser extension that undoes the change. i know we've all gotten burnt out on all social media sucking but this is genuinely The tumblr experience. everyone who hasn't gotten it already gets an achievement. welcome to the club
everybody in the notes going "but THIS TIME it's an objectively terrible choice/a bigger deal/a cash grab!!": first time in the clown car huh
settle a debate for me:
have you ever eaten salt (just salt) out of your hand?
yes and this is a normal thing to do
yes but this is not a normal thing to do
no and im shocked at the question
no but it still seems like a normal thing to do
the coward’s “show me the results” option

when i reblog posts about mutuals i mean all my followers and all the people i follow that don't follow me back too btw. i mean everyone
kms immediately, oil change light just came on and I have no source of income due to having to leave my job bc of my disabilities getting worse and worse, dunno where im gonna get $60 from or however expensive it is 😭
If I was a sim I would go on simblr and reblog simscourse posts like "smarp floopie in zul weanow" and send my simutual a funny post which is just a picture of a duck with a smiley face icon next to it and then I would log off and die on the floor
I think one of the most profound forms of love is "I'll try that, for you. I may not like it, but I'll try it."
It's a confused middle-aged man in a pottery class, whose daughter is helping him with his clay's plasticity. It's a kid scrunching up their brow while listening to their mom's favorite music, trying to figure out why she likes it. It's a girlfriend who says "Yes, I'll go with you" and her girlfriend cheering and buying a second ticket for a con. It's a friend half dragging another friend through an aquarium, the one being dragged laughing and calling out "Wait, wait, I know we're here for the exhibit, but I haven't been here! Slow down!"
It's being willing to spend some of your time trying something new because it makes someone you love happy.
Frank Oz and Jim Henson ad-lib as Fozzie and Kermit in this test footage for the first Muppet movie, and honestly it’s pure gold.
This is a professional shitpost roleplay.
I’m crying becuase this is something I’ve never seen before, something original of that era of the Muppets with both Oz and Henson working on one of my favorite movies, but also becuase this is the funniest thing I have seen in mONTHS.
Somehow this poll has upset more people than the chips/crisps/fries poll

Having looked through historic googlebooks many a time and been frustrated by how difficult it is to search in this time period, this chart is most certainly due to the algorithm not properly picking up the "Long S" which was an f-like character used in place of an s especially in 17th and 18th century printing.
The rules of when the short and long s's are used are somewhat complicated to modern people, but they are almost always at the beginning of words, never at the end, and if there is a double s sometimes they are combined and sometimes not:
99% of the time the word actually being used is "suck" or "sucking." It actually shows up a lot as a word used to describe babies who were still nursing. In texts from this period the word "suck" will almost always read as "fuck." This makes some of these auto-transcriptions absolutely brilliant in hindsight:

If you search for the word "fuck" in googlebooks within this time frame, you get hundreds of pages of entries like this. For example, this Shakespeare anthology:
This is not to say that people in the 18th century didn't find this hilarious, I'm sure they did, but f-bombs were not being dropped in classic literature at the time. If they do show up, like in this 1785 slang dictionary: it is almost always bleeped out:
The other 1% of the fucks in 18th century books are, of course, not bleeped out because they are in Ye Olde Porn, of which there is a surprising amount on googlebooks.

I should also note if it wasn't clear that the immense dropoff just after 1800 is when the long s stopped being used in print, and the reemergence was in the mid-late 20th century when people DID start dropping f-bombs in literature





















Hello everyone! Usagi here! I’m an artist and fic writer, and I thought I’d make a post on how you lovely people could support me!
Patreon- Here you can see WIPs and sneak peeks of upcoming art/fics, send in requests, and look at NSFW art that I don’t post on tumblr. All NSFW art is patron only. Tiers go from $1-$15.
Ko-fi- Here you can send me coffees of $3 or more. I also use this as a potential payment for commissions.
Commissions- I do both art and writing commissions. Art commissions range from $8 (comics), $15 (black and white) $20 (standard full color), and $25 (detailed color). I also do writing commissions at $5 per 1,000 words. I’m open to NSFW or gory art/fics, but I can do SFW stuff too. I’m pretty flexible. The commissions post has more info on what I will/won’t do.
Ao3- I post my fics here! They usually range from M-E.
Venmo- Just like ko-fi, this is where I take payment for commissions (I sorta prefer this to ko-fi but either works)
I hope you’ll support your local broke ass nd lesbian. Thank you very much!
