I just revived my old iPod touch that I haven’t used since ~2013 after believing it to be dead dead for years and oh my god it’s like opening up an old time capsule. There are photos of me and my friends that I haven’t seen in years, taken in an old high school building that doesn’t exist anymore. I have games that are no longer downloadable on the app store. It’s running iOS 5 with the original skeuomorphism app icons. I still have the youtube app. My contacts app is full of maiden names and deadnames. The music app has songs I haven’t heard in almost a decade but still remember all the lyrics to. A daily alarm set for 5:30 AM (god I can’t believe I had to wake up that early in high school) and another set to 11:11 PM to remind me to make a wish. Reminders to finish homework assignments, or to write my application essay for the university I ended up attending, and one marking the release date for the final episode of Cabin Pressure. The last thing I googled was “how to draw people hugging”.
Possibly the strangest thing is that the tumblr app still opens, but it’s stuck in a permanent snapshot of 2013 where it won’t show me any new posts no matter how many times I refresh. My dash is full of old BBC Sherlock posts from long-lost mutuals who have either since deactivated or got unfollowed or changed urls so many times that I don’t even recognize them. Lady Gaga and Game of Thrones are the top trends. My profile shows my previous url and icon, with only 43 followers. I feel like a time traveler

reminding myself there are no truly "bad days", because every single day, someone somewhere in the world has taken a photo of an extremely tiny animal and shown it to someone else, and that's very good actually

A friend of mine managed to breed her Saharan sand boas, something which... is extremely rare in the USA, because it's difficult to do and not a lot of people know how in the first place. Almost all Saharans are wild caught, which is not ideal. But! She managed it, on what info she could find, and the eggs have been growing and were SUPPOSED to hatch at LEAST 5 days ago, but the clutch is quite large (9 eggs!) so we think they came out earlier than typical.
Of course, she expected them to be well hatched already, and had made plans to be out of town with her family today and tomorrow, so this morning was the day they decided to Start Hatching. So, I'm over here babyssssssitting these extremely precious little babies.

You know what?
It's wishful thinking, but lets get Purim trending this year.
Let's all make it, be big and loud and impossible to ignore. Let's flaunt our costumes, brag with our food, share our joy. Let's try to turn this website upside down.
Let's admit it, Purim fits the Tumblr spirit. Let's put it everywhere for one day(two days)
Let's make the holiday all about Jewish survival and celebration of our joy big.

We drove across the state today to set up a photo frame device for my aunt, and introduce her to Bug. While we were there, we took her and her bf to dinner across the street from her complex, and my mom texted to ask how we'd gotten my aunt over, since we're in my dad's fuckoff big truck and she's not able to climb into it. My dad texted back that he just tied a tow cable to her wheelchair and drove over, and my mom texted me to find out the truth but
My aunt laughed until she wheezed and told us to stop being so mean to her sister, but when we got back to her apartment:
She helped us get "proof" to send my mom because you gotta have a little fun teasing your siblings
