Lyrical Ballad, in Saratoga Springs, NY is one of my favorite used bookstores in the world.

Twitter thread by Melissa Caruso about a labyrinthine magical bookstore in Syracuse, NY. Link to the first tweet in the thread; most pictures have image descriptions! Now here are the screenshots of that thread:

And then a hero of the labyrinthine magical bookstores of the world put all the bookstores that people listed in the replies on a map! (Google Maps link)

Congratulations, you are now a nest

I get so frustrated with myself sometimes. I have THOUGHTS about a serious topic, but when I try to express them, they never make as much sense to other people as they did in my head.

Not that I think it's particularly likely anyone will want to...

bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements

People who want to be awful are going to be awful.

What they read/watch/listen to/play might affect what flavor of awful they end up being, but not the basic state of awfulness.

"fiction affects reality" wrong "fiction doesn't affect reality" wrong

The decision to emulate or not emulate what we see in fiction is on the audience. It's YOUR responsibility to KNOW better like a reasonable ADULT.

Abusive people are going to be abusive regardless of what total strangers are writing on Tumblr. Because being an abusive person is an active series of decisions that you make. You don't get to blame murder on Satanism and metal music in goddamn 2025

I walked past some lilac bushes on my way to lunch today and the smell brought me so much joy. I almost forget, from one spring to the next, how much I love it.

I'm thinking about getting some lilac scented stuff, but it needs to be as realistic as possible.

Anyone have any recommendations?

One thing that I think Facebook and YouTube do better than Tumblr is giving people the ability to opt out of specific ads.

Especially being able to tell them that the reason you don't want to see that ad is because it's not relevant to you.

I don't mind a reasonable number of ads in exchange for a free service, but the ones here on Tumblr are so horrifically misaimed and there's no way to tell them that.

Too late for me. Now I'm praying the embroidery hyperfixation comes back in time for me to finish this set of Christmas ornaments before next Christmas.

hyperfixation please stay with me long enough to complete the project. hyperfixation do not fade. hyperfixation finish what you started for the love of god

My absolute favorite outfit from the 2025 Met Gala, because of its sheer cleverness.
