Bingewatching Will Never Come Close To Bingereading. There Is Nothing Like Blocking Out The Entire Earth

bingewatching will never come close to bingereading. there is nothing like blocking out the entire Earth for ten hours to read a book in one sitting no food no water no shower no bra and emerging at the end with no idea what time it is or where you are, a dried-up prune that's sensitive to light and loud noises because you've been in your room in the dark reading by the glow of a single LED. it's like coming back after a three-month vacation in another dimension and now you have to go downstairs and make dinner. absolutely transcendental

maya angelou saying the funniest thing anyone has ever said about editing, which i can never let myself forget EVER AGAIN [x]

there’s a thunderstorm over my house right now. as loud as the lightning is, it and the rainfall are ultimately set dressing, and i’m warm and dry inside.

there was a storm over palestine today, too. for marah, a college student like me, the rain meant a flooded tent, waterlogged flour. mud and wet feet and chill. no shelves to protect precious belongings from the damage.

here’s my post linking to the baalou family’s fund. please spread this around— conditions become critical as quickly as a storm comes.

i have zero carnal desires. ignore everything ive ever said

Want to change your URL, but you're worried about the amount of time it will take to update all those links on your masterlist? Well, fret no more! Below the cut is a simple way to update your masterlist, no matter how many links you need to update.

(This way was originally shown to me in 2020 by the wonderful @murdock-and-the-sea)

Okay so first thing obviously is to change your URL by going to Edit Appearance on desktop and changing it here:

Once you have done that, all the links to your masterlist will now be broken, so the next thing you will need to do is click the Edit Theme button below:

Once you have done that you will get to this screen:

Find the link for your masterlist, and change the tumblr url to your new one and then click save. Now you will be able to access your main masterlist from the link in your bio.

Then...

Once you're in your masterlist, click on the edit button, and once the editable document is open, click on the little wheel on the top right of the screen and change Text Editor from Rich Text to HTML, and you should get a wall of text come up like this:

(Don't worry about any images or formatting when this happens, it's all safe)

Now you should open up something like the Notes or Word or something like that, and copy and paste the HTML Code onto that. To be safe, make sure you save this so you don't lose it. Once you've done that, do CTRL H so you get a Find and Replace box like this:

In the Find box, put your old URL, and in the Replace box, put your new URL, and then click Replace All.

Once that is done, copy and paste this back into your masterlist, and change it back to Rich Text. Your Masterlist with all it's images and formatting should come back up as normal, and then press save! Now, you should be able to access each link on your main masterlist (I would check on desktop by clicking each link, this usually cements it in place as it doesn't always immediately show on mobile for some reason, but as long as it works on desktop it's fine).

Now, you'll need to repeat this process for each individual masterlist you have, so if you have several character or fandom specific masterlists, you'll need to update each of them individually, and if you have any series's on any of the masterlists, you will need to repeat it for that as well, but ultimately, this is the quickest and simplest way to change your URL and update links!

As someone who's used this method four times, I can tell you it's taken me a maximum of twenty minutes to update my masterlist (and that was when I had a much bigger masterlist with over ten series on my old blog)

I hope this helps anyone that wants to change their URL and has been too scared to! As someone who went from the ugliest URL ever (suz-123, I hated it) I was immensely grateful to find this way to do it <3

“we live in an uncaring universe” yeah dude and I live in an uncaring house. and I shit in an uncaring toilet. but do you touch an uncaring lover? do you comfort an uncaring child? do you guide to sleep each night a cold and uncaring self?
