I am OBSESSED with people telling me how they met the love of their life. Just found out my director met his wife through a misdirected email - that’s fate right there.
“I saw her last name was Jewish - and I’m Jewish, so when I corrected the email I told her Shabbat Shalom with a smiley face — this was the very beginning of the emoticon era, you understand. She had a watermark of a dog rescue at the bottom of her email, and I love dogs, so I found her website and there she was — all these videos of her rehabilitating dogs and talking about the organization. I fell in love with her just from those videos.”
😭😭😭
“I asked if we could meet for coffee, told her I was looking for volunteer opportunities — which was halfway a lie — and she said ‘okay, but just so you know I have a boyfriend, so this is strictly business,’ and I was so disappointed, but I did want to meet her. We sat in that coffeeshop until they turned the lights out on us, and she broke up with her boyfriend the next day.”
MULTIPLE people in the notes have told me how important these tags are to them so here’s to keeping it in the main post.
Let me get this straight because I’ve only seen memes and am piecing this together as i go, but i think i figured out what’s happening.
Tumblr is advertising the tumblr app, on the tumblr app, using a photo of a guy in a Pikachu cosplay, because that’s what they think it will take to successfully sell this app, to people whom already use it?
But now the ball shaving ad is gone? Or is that one still in the mix?
It’s real and your timing was uncanny
Ok. Why is tumblr advertising tumblr on tumblr though? What happens when you click the ad?
*sigh*
I suppose shit like this is why tumblr gave us the option to turn ads back on. Hold on. I’ll be back after i experiment.
I’m getting plenty of ads. Real actual ads. Mattress firm. Burger King. Walmart. Actual ads. No weird Pikachu man. What is even going on here? Is he just a very infrequent ad? Is he a tumblr ploy by @staff to get those of us whom pay to be ads free to turn on ads so we can see him? Is he am actual facts ad for ads free tumblr and already being ads free means you don’t get the ads free tumblr ad? I have more questions, not fewer!
I CLICKED THE LINK And
I’m
The weirdest part is, when you click on the ad from someone who reblogged it, it sends you to a blog with just the word ‘help’ on it
I’ve been teaching myself how to do 3-d rendering as a way to expand what we can do jewelry wise for Optimystical Studios. It’s slow going because a lot of the ways things are structured doesn’t make sense to my brain.
BUT!
I was able to take a few of the small things I’ve learned and create a charm I’ve been wanting to have for a few years.
YES FOLKS I MADE A BRICK!
It might not seem like much but I was able to do it without looking up any tutorials and I managed to get it to do all the things I wanted that I had been struggling with on other projects (like properly removing material for the holes and softening the edges).
And now I can cast little metal bricks to go with our Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson charms!
The one in the photo is my first test cast in sterling because I wasn’t sure if the loop was going to be big enough. While it did work in silver I don’t think it will work in pewter, so I’m going to make a version with a slightly beefier loop before I cast a bunch of pewter ones.
But look at it! It’s so good!
I still need to do final finishing. And the pewter ones will be getting a texture put on them after casting to make them look a little more brick like. But I am so excited I just had to share.
