Now Playing Tracks

I recently learned that the Star-Spangled Banner flag (as in, the flag flown over Fort McHenry that inspired the Francis Scott Key poem) has fifteen stripes instead of thirteen, because the tradition at the time was to increase the number of stripes along with the number of stars as more states joined the union.

I assume this tradition ended because of cowardice.

I’ve prepared several options to revive the tradition:

The most direct approach. Looks vaguely pink from a distance.

I like how this one emphasizes how much more America there is now than there used to be.

I think plaid fits nicely, too. As a bonus, a lot of existing tablecloths could be converted to this design with just the addition of the canton.

Honestly, I just spent too much time making this one not to post it.

ok this is insane but like.. the new tumblrinas are more acclimated to the culture than some normal users. i mean it. like every single reddit refugee post has an INSANELY CLOSE like to reblog ratio and there all mutualing each other and sending each other asks and dms. like wtf. how are you better at this.

in all seriousness i think its because we welcomed them with such feral delight. like every single tumblr user individually saw the reddit refugees and were like “ok listen. we love you honey and hope you’re feeling good and here are the instructions” and they did SO MUCH MORE THAN WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD!!! AND NOW ALL OF THEM ARE LIKE HAVING SO MUCH FUN AND IM SO HAPPY FOR THEM!!!!

and also not to keep going but i adore how everyone is so so emotional about this. like every single reddit refugee is like “oh my god why are you so nicee i havent felt this happy in years holy fuckkk…” and were all like “its ok!!! im so glad you are having fun you are doing such a good job yknow? youre perfect at this!!” anyways if YOURE a reddit refugee lets be mutuals

We’ve been let loose after staring at r/Tumblr posts for several years, our time is nigh

like 99% of “men and women are soooo different!!!” comedy is literally just describing the experience of not understanding other people. like it’s not that women never say what they mean talking to other people is just like that. it can be hard to understand what other people are thinking. bioessentialism really rots the brain

“women will say I’m fine and then not mean it” yeah that’s something literally everybody does. is this your first time interacting with another human being my guy
