merrymalthus: quietlittleplaces:  I took this picture cause I knew this story was tumblr worthy. So I had been sitting in my big white van behind the lowell building, not going to class, and staring happily at a brick wall. out of the corner of my eye, i notice a man coming up the alley, slow down a little past the car, but ultimately keep going. the term ‘weirdo’ passed my mind, and I locked the doors even though any actual threat was minimal, and soon I was staring at the wall again. Not less than 5 minutes later I heard a knocking at the passenger side window. I look over, and it’s the same weirdo who walked by the car before; Except now he looked particularly nervous and had his nose pressed against the glass. I should mention that I never felt particularly frightened of this man. he was quite skinny, and seemed extremely skittish and fearful both when I saw him starting up the alley, and now, as he knocked. Anyway, I rolled down the window slightly and asked “can I help you?” with one eyebrow raised and a general look of confusion. he gestured at me with his chin, and said with an equally confused tone “you…eh…you…sex?” We had a moment of silence. Eyebrow still raised, and before I knew what was coming out of my mouth, I raised both my hands, shook my head and said “I’m wearing mittens”. He immediately started shaking his head up and down as if he understood, and practically started sprinting away. I lowered my hands after a minute and I…. what… I can’t tell which is funnier: The fact that this strange man thought I was some sort of portable hooker, parking my van behind churches and waiting for patrons, or that my proof against being a hooker was the fact that I was wearing mittens. this is one of the strangest interactions between two confused human beings i’ve ever heard of

How to block Sponsored Posts on your Dashboard

ookiepigster:

Tumblr has recently introduced Sponsored Posts. These posts can come from anyone, regardless of whether or not you follow them, and are primarily for advertising. If you want to block them, simply install Tumblr Savior and blacklist “sponsored_badge_icon” (without the quotes).

Oh wow OK let’s please signal boost this because some recent ones have been GIFs of horror and so on, and that makes Tumblr incredibly unsafe for a good amount of people. S:

fyeah-history: Sami people in Finnmark, Norway, circa 1900The Sami people, also spelled Sámi or Saami, are the indigenous people inhabiting the Arctic area of Sápmi, which today encompasses parts of far northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Kola Peninsula of Russia, and the border area between south and middle Sweden and Norway. The Sámi are the only indigenous people of Scandinavia recognized and protected under the international conventions of indigenous peoples, and hence the northernmost indigenous people of Europe. Sami ancestral lands span an area of approximately 388,350 km2 (150,000 sq. mi.), which is approximately the size of Sweden, in the Nordic countries. Their traditional languages are the Sami languages and are classified as a branch of the Uralic language family. Traditionally, the Sami have pursued a variety of livelihoods, including coastal fishing, fur trapping and sheep herding. Their best-known means of livelihood is semi-nomadic reindeer herding, with which about 10% of the Sami are currently connected and 2,800 actively involved on a full-time basis. For traditional, environmental, cultural and political reasons, reindeer herding is legally reserved only for Sami people in certain regions of the Nordic countries.

have you ever just been so incredibly fond of someone

like you don’t want to date them or anything but you honestly love them as a person and want to listen to them talk forever and find out all of their little quirks and hug them when they’re sad
