a screenshot of the garbage day newsletter that reads "The pre-Vine animated GIF boom has mostly been memory-holed. [Ed. note: Unless you’re still on Tumblr, where GIFs and GIF-sets still constitute a large percentage of posts.] In the early 2010s, message board users were moving from smaller websites to larger platforms — and getting jobs at digital media companies. And they ended up bringing a lot of shared culture with them. What we used to call “Weird Twitter,” for"
thrilled to say that after almost an entire year i made my first Ed. note in @garbageday.email www.garbageday.email/p/what-happe...
A rectangular amateur painting of an ocean scene. The lower quarter is the ocean with shades of blue and green. The upper 3/4 is a light blue sky with layers of blue clouds with white and light purple highlights on the bottom of the clouds
making art is cool and fun and you should try it!
Sorry to Genshin on main but I’ve been playing this game for YEARS and I just got my first 36-starred Spiral Abyss and I am GIDDY

Grief is wild and unpredictable
we’re working on traveling lmao
Tonight’s @garbageday.email Live show featuring @donlemonofficial.bsky.social and @akilahhughes.com was the best show we’ve done IMO. Shout out to bringing weird online stuff to IRL events
I saw it first so I’m mad about this
To the robin singing his ass off in prospect park and keeping me awake cause it’s nice enough to have my windows open: buddy wyd it’s like 2am she’s not gonna fuck you
I just found my second grey hair and I got really excited tbh, please let me evolve into my silver fox era
Thank you! It’s real nice to be doing the job that I was hired to do based on the skills I’m good at lmao
I forgot that work can be…not wildly stressful? V v grateful <3
Exactly one year ago I got laid off along with like most of the Tumblr staff and I’m extremely lucky to report that working at Garbage Day with @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social has been wildly beneficial to my mental health and I have fun at work again
Love that channel!
Thanks! I genuinely believe we’re all just doing our best! You gotta practice kindness and grace and understand that every person on the planet is going through something.
My OCD got diagnosed legit 30 years ago and is very much under control thanks to 3 decades of therapy but there’s some lingering Brain Is Lying Shit I still deal with, so again this is a win for me. Shoutout to the 5 ice cubes in my kombucha
It’s such a little thing but it causes me anxiety so combating that is a win!
Brains are weird and hard sometimes (often)
So, I’m working on it! But at least for the last week and a half or so I have actively mindfully only used an odd number of ice cubes in my water bottle and drinks. Feels like a win!
Yes!! Odd numbers make me anxious and even numbers do the opposite
My therapist is on parental leave but I KNOW they would be so proud of me for consistently using an odd number of ice cubes recently in defiance of my ocd

smdh what will they come up with next??
I CHOPPED things and ATE them and it was GOOD and HEALTHY ughhh
FINE. IT WAS A REALLY GOOD SALAD. UGH.
me, a vegan, begrudgingly: fine, i’ll make a fucking salad using the stupid fucking veggies i bought specifically for making salads that’ll go bad if i don’t eat them
why yes, i am neurodivergent, why do you ask?
i got, like, deeply into ASMR-like high quality long Japanese train and ferry travel videos with zero dialogue and i'm not embarrassed to admit that i saw this post and was like "oh, that's Mei Time! she's great!"
