"You can't be a lurker on tumblr." Yes, you absolutely can. I've been quietly reblogging things since 2014 and I haven't interacted with anyone in years.

my favorite game to play is “is supernatural actually trending or did some major political/social event just occur”

“Love is the total absence of fear. Love asks no questions. Its natural state is one of extension and expansion, not comparison and measurement.”

'uh but the coronation has brought in money' of course it has, to london, where wealth and tourism is centralised, where multiple millionaires live. it's not going to magically alleviate the cost of living crisis around the rest of the country.

As someone going through the cost of living crisis, literally choosing which days to eat and which to not, which days to heat the house and water, and which to not - this coronation is a joke.

The money could have gone to way better causes, not even for the people like me who are better off. But for those who are literally dying.
