I love how the search function on this site is absolute garbage. I can look up a post word for word and I will NEVER find it
Pro tip:
Wanna find a post?
Write out what you remember into a Google search.
After you write that out, end with site:tumblr.com
Google will search for your text on just tumblr
In my experience, it’s way more effective than searching through Tumblr
(you can use site:SITENAME.com to search any site btws)
This usually works but for some reason a lot of posts get indexed on google from a person’s URL based on the posts that were recently reblogged on page 1, meaning that this is only a tiny bit more reliable.
I HAVE a solution to this, you have to write down site:tumblr.com/post “ “
and then write a direct quote (could be a fraction of a sentence) into the quotations, I’ve been doing this for years, and it’s so useful, it works like 99% of the time
(the more popular a post is the more likely you’ll find it)
op told me this in a private message and i asked them to send it as an ask b/c the world needs to see
Ok but like do you know how fast a combine moves??? HOW. Those things go like… 20 mph on the highway during harvest where I grew up. Like. Just. How. I feel this is important context. Also those things are LARGE like no way someone didn’t see it dawdling down the road. And there’s no way someone in an agricultural community wasn’t like “What’s Dave doing with Bill’s combine??” I’m sending this post to my childhood best friend because she sent me a picture of a cow in the town furniture store last month.
Here’s the cow.
Also, her response: “Probs why he is in jail, he would 100 percent get caught. Maybe if he was one farm and waited until the three other people that lived on his dirt road were gone and hot wired there combine and drove it to his field? OR, Maybe he like carjacked a combine?”
i made this beautiful graph to display the facts: sitting on things that were designed for sitting is boring. i very rarely sit on chairs other than for meals, and i almost never sit on them “properly”. chairs are for losers
Not gonna lie, one of my favorite parts about writing urban fantasy is determining how and where the fantasy meshes in with reality.
Like, I’m not saying Freddie Mercury WAS a siren, but have you ever heard anyone NOT sing along to Bohemian Rhapsody?
I rest my case.
It is a six-minute song with incomprehensible lyrics that seem to have something to do with murder and demons, with five sections that are completely different stylistically but no chorus.
It was number one on the the UK singles charts twice, 15 years apart, and is by many measures one of the most popular, or the most popular, single of all time.
Yeah, there’s magic involved.
And an absurdly broad swathe of people know it. I have no memory of learning it, do you?
(Check out part one if you need to see Jehan dying. The deaths go: Jehan, Bossuet, Bahorel, Courfeyrac, Feuilly, Joly, Combeferre and finally Enjolras and Grantaire.)
I NEVER NEED TO SEE JEHAN DYING OKAY, I don’t know why I need to see the Barricades of Feelings at ALL today, WHY DID I FOLLOW THAT LINK WHAT IS MY PROBLEM.
(really thank you for the link, I JUST had someone asking about it in my Ask. Look, Nonny! HERE IS A LINK! You too can break your fanning heart!)
