I don't usually dabble in realism - but this was a gift for someone very meaningful in my life. And some things just deserve to be painted as they are.

new ebbits! new site!

one year ago today, we released our second debut studio album.

how to build an ocean: instructions is an album concerned with detachment and subsequent reattachment to the people you hold close. it is an album about finding home in unfamiliar places. it is an album about falling in love with the city you grew up in.

most importantly, it is an album for you and for you alone.

to celebrate the anniversary, iain has created an epilogue documentary chronicling the aftermath of this album. a part two to the album documentary, chronicling a process that was flawed in all the right places.

you can watch that by clicking on the link here.

the future is bright.

thank you. bears in trees forever.

Listen.

EVERYBODY knows (or should) that you DO. NOT. STOP. in Vidor, Texas. 

It’s best to just run out of gas elsewhere. Whatever you do, black folks, DO NOT STOP IN VIDOR, TEXAS. 

There’s a good chance you’ll get lynched or just come up missing - and I’m not joking.

also do NOT stop in Harrison, Arkansas!!!! (relatively close to OK and MI) a nazi town with a BIG KKK organization.

Reblog To Save Life

I've rarely seen a more validating sentence in my entire life.

tumblr users will reblog anything. have half a peanut

CHEERS TO 1800 FOLLOWERSSS!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

It's like a re-draw for my first solangelo drawing

"red-pill" "snowflake" everything about v for vendetta...fascists really do love to steal and bastardize culture from the queer people they are trying to destroy

[guy with the Cant Focus Disorder] why the fuck can't I focus

I would love to lay down in a seraphic, regal futon and be fed cheezits all day, but instead I am shackled to lay in my mundane bean bag chair, and I am forced to feed the cheezits to myself

Alright, I think I like tumblr now.

A pun post crossed my dash, and I reblogged it with an equally bad pun in return. A couple of my followers find it funny, it's a good day for everyone.

That was on July 7th.

Virality on Reddit was entirely algorithmic. You could garner a couple crossposts, but the success of a post was entirely dependent on whether or not it hit r/all--the main page of Reddit. If your post does that, it's immediately exposed to 10x the number of people and immediately gets upvoted.

On my pun post, I get a couple reblogs. And those reblogs get a couple reblogs--nobody really adds any content to the post, it just gets a couple reblogs here and there.

There's a specific chain of reblogs that I'd like to focus on. The most popular post on this chain has about 25 reblogs on it. Half the posts have three reblogs or fewer. Five posts in this chain have just one reblog total.

But the reblog chain keeps going. And going. It breaches containment many times over. And finally, after a chain THIRTY SIX posts long, at 9:30 AM, July 22nd this morning, it hits a popular account.

99% percent of the people who have seen the post--virtually unchanged from how it left my dash--have seen it because it was curated by 36 different people. That's insane to me.

None of those 36 people know that they're part of this chain. They saw a post, reblogged it, and moved on. If any one of these people had not reblogged, the post would have a fraction of the impact it has.

And yet, after two weeks, the post has effectively hit the main page of tumblr. It was picked up, only because people liked it enough to show it to their followers. There were no algorithms necessary.

You really, truly, cannot get this on any other website.

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

Reblog if you're hoping 2011 will be a fresh start.

pov: you’re watching the community movie

what if you wore a shirt that featured a picture of you trying to claw your way out of the shirt with a horrid desperate expression and the text "THAT'S NOT ME THAT'S NOT ME I'M TRAPPED IN THE SHIRT"

"Rationalism" is up there with "Objectivism" in terms of "definitionally funny things to call your own belief system".

It just kills me when writers create franchises where like 95% of the speaking roles are male, then get morally offended that all of the popular ships are gay. It’s like, what did they expect?

Reblog to give prev a fucking break holy shit y’all
