Like now that I am awake I need to reiterate how huge this is. It was presumed harvested to extinction by the Romans. It was a favorite flavoring and according to historians one of the best contraceptives ever known. True or not it would be fantastic to study that but it being extinct made that impossible.
This is such a huge deal! I hope they get it figured how to grow it.
can we please appreciate their t-shirt though holy

To me, honestly, the biggest thing Tumblr has going for itself is the fact that no one uses it.
Originally I was thinking, in terms of “why do I use Tumblr and not other sites?” that the thing going for it is that it’s a Post Anonymous Bullshit site. And this is true, and important, but also Tumblr isn’t the only Post Anonymous Bullshit site.
I think the key power that Tumblr holds over me is that it’s the Post Anonymous Bullshit site that no one uses.
And the reason that’s so clutch is because of how much safety it adds. No matter what kind of office or acquaintance small-talk spirals into the direction of social media, which, perhaps in an unthinking moment, causes you to mention you use Tumblr. Even if your conversation partner acts interested in this detail, they won’t follow you. Twitter? Tiktok? Fuck man, the person could whip out their phone on the spot and look you up. Tumblr? No way in hell. They’d have to download an app. Make an account. Check it regularly? Just to see you posting “happy fuck him flat friday”? No.
And on the absolute off chance this person does have a Tumblr, and does follow you, well they probably have all the same problems you do that’s led them to be active on this site in 2023 so you should be pretty safe in a very girl what are YOU doing at the devil’s sacrament kind of way.
Writing Prompt: When you were a teenager, a truck nearly ran you over. Your significant other wasn’t so lucky.
Today, you had another close encounter with a truck, and this time it got you. You’ve been Isekai’d. But when you wake up in the other world, you see a familiar face. They’re older and got a few scars, but it’s definitely your old sweetheart.
You have a heartful reunion. You catch up on your lives, you make arrangements for a new life together.
“What luck that we both wound up here.” you say during dinner.
“Luck?” your other half laughs and nearly drops their roast pixie. “Who do you think guided the truck that brought you here?”
This time it’s your turn to nearly drop your food.
Your lover smiles, but there’s something strange in their eyes. “I missed you so much, baby.”
Trapped In Another World With My Yandere Dead Girlfriend (Who’s a Lvl 99 Warlock Now)
Currently, I sleep with a 15 lb blanket. It no longer feels particularly heavy. If I continue to pile more weighted blankets on top of it, I can get strong as fuck in my sleep. Eventually I’ll look like Goku just from sleeping
if you guys thought you had a weird middle school experience my whole grade was convinced I was an actual literal werewolf for 3 years to the point where people were afraid of me so come 8th grade the popular girl had a huge Halloween party on her farm that everyone went to that just happened to coincide with the full moon so I staged a whole elaborate ‘transformation’ at the end of the night and scared the shit out of all of them. I don’t think I’ll ever top that
