“Jack of all trades, master of none” … “but ofttimes better than a master of one.”
“Blood is thicker than water.” “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the waters of the womb.”
“Money is the root of all evil.” “The love of money is the root of all evil.”
there’s also “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” which conservatives are oh so fond of saying
bootstraps are, well, straps on your boots. you cannot physically pull yourself up by them, and that’s what the original phrase meant. “pulling oneself up by the bootstraps” is meant to be an impossible task
“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.”
whenever a kid is signing up for a library card and they and their parent have good silly vibes i like to treat it like a knighting ceremony. i’m like “jacob, child of hannah, i bestow unto you this card of great freedom and power. are you prepared to take on the literary responsibility of your very own library card? i believe you are.” and it always makes them laugh and feel very important it’s so much fun. like yeah we do a little improv at the library we do some bits
2014 Tumblr wasn’t about whatever Tik Tok thinks it was about. 2014 Tumblr was about overanalyzing Captain America: The Winter Soldier and that one website that let you play Cards Against Humanity online
And it slapped
me on a date: tell me your thoughts on 2014 tumblr them: oh that place? lol that was so cringe I- me, shoving breadsticks into my purse: I have to go
secret government agent: *punches me in the face* SAY IT! me:nogovernment agent: say 2014 tumblr was cringe and the new culture is better! me: *spits blood at the agent’s feet* fuck you
“[whatever Tik Tok thinks it was about]” I came out to have a good time and I’m honestly feeling so attacked right now
because 2014 tumblr had the best snemes (snake snail memes)
none of you denying it now would survive the Skeleton War
Beautiful Internet Era Too Good For This World, Too Pure
girls don’t want boys, girls want a return to actually wholesome memes
when I die I want 2020s tumblr to lower me into my grave so you can let me down one last time
I will climb 90-post-per-day blog archives to find 2014 tumblr content. I crave that mineral
this post is the real last meme of 2014
“average site spawns 3 iconic memes a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average site spawns 0 iconic memes per year. 2014 tumblr, which lived outside Plato’s cave & spawned over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
