WOW okay I tried (twice) to post a screencap of an offensive ad that showed up in my feed with the caption “nevermind, f this site, see you on twitter and instagram” but I can’t even do that via app?! Useless. How the mighty have fallen.

Our new Bigfoot Tiki Mug is just awesome! Look at that keister. Of course, you could opt for a Limited Edition Yeti Tiki Mug variant exclusive to Archie McPhee. Only 600 Yetis made!
I…should probably own both of these.

I’m trying to plot a trek across multiple countries with multiple modes of transportation and appointments that must be met at specific times and it would be SO MUCH EASIER if I could visualize it as a bunch of points and lines on a map!! Why doesn’t this exist? I can’t find anything remotely along these lines in the app store and the closest online attempt (http://chadnorwood.com/2009/06/12/google-calendar-map/) hasn’t been touched in five years.
For C&CS, I’m currently working on an essay on Song of the Sea animated movie. This work is highly personal for me, because the movie reflects my personal perception of the world, views on the position of folklore in contemporary life, and the nostalgic feeling of childhood. The visual side of the movie is also of a great interest to me, and I’ve already started copying the technique to understand it better.
The thing is, that the fairy tale is fading away nowadays. Most people do not consider it a part of their life, and are more oriented to the future than to the past. So, the folklore is being forgotten. But looking closer at it, besides my personal interest, i see that remembering it is essential for a culture and particular human. And I admire Tomm Moore, for he dared to make the movie based on such idea, and he made it absolutely gorgeous. He really showed everyone, that the folk heritage is still alive, he made it interesting to children and adults. And that was a great risk for him and his studio, because normally such movies are not very popular. But the great popularity of it has shown, that folklore still has a potential as a theme in popular contemporary culture.
Here is the text of my Pecha Kucha presentation, with pictures, in which I summarised shortly all the key points of my research.

–Don’t let this website become your life.
–Please take this seriously, while you may see a lot of funny posts about ‘I’m deleting’ and ‘I hate tumblr’ the community as a whole on this website is seriously bad.
–Formulate your own opinions, and don’t let this site brainwash them into you.
–The mob mentality that often follows arguments blows stuff really out of proportion, and in the end it doesn’t matter, I promise you.
–POST WHAT YOU WANT, NOT WHAT WILL GET YOU FOLLOWERS.
–Anons are mean. Turn them off if you have to. You aren’t weak for doing so.
–Take care of yourself. Download xkit and blacklist stuff you don’t want to see.
–Sending hate is never worth it.
–The social justice you see here is not an accurate representation of real-world activism. You do not EVER have to post a social justice thing if you don’t want to.
–You do not need to be part of a minority to be loved
–If you are part of a majority, you matter and deserve to love yourself all the same
–Mental illness is NOT pretty
–IF SOMETHING APPEARS IN YOUR INBOX ASKING YOU TO CLICK ON THEIR BLOG TO TEST A VIDEO GAME OR SOME SHIT, FOR FUCK’S SAKE, DON’T CLICK ITJust, don’t get too swept away by this site. Go outside. Blog other places. Watch Netflix for a while. Do what you gotta do.
Seriously EVERYONE needs to see this. I’ve lost someone because they let the shit here brainwash them.
Hello remaining followers, I’m done with my second unplanned tumblr hiatus (I think) and am gonna unfollow a ton of people (I think) because there’s still some lovely stuff on the site that I miss.
