Much like this wonderful platform, tumblr.com is where I go to get my fix of ~old internet~ ; reminiscent of the time before everything we did online was oversaturated with branding and optics.
I’ve had my blog since 2012 and have maintained it closely since. It continues to be my one true digital sanctuary :)

tumblr will ultimately be the best place on the internet. due to the nostalgia from being a long time user & seeing the effects that it’s had on the internet & on a whole generation of people, till this day it remains my favorite. i’m glad it’s something that folks still actively use & that i find joy in reblogging the awesome things that i like such as archive fashion, stills from film, poetry & more. (a favorite post of mine as shown in the image attached. david lynch forever.)

I’ve been on Tumblr since 2008. I had a blogspot for a while, which stills exists except none of the images were properly embedded so it’s just like, a bunch of text saying things like “i love this picture! i want to kiss somebody! I love music!” Tumblr is, in my opinion, the best social media site out there. It feels like the only place where images and information are passed around, saved and shared in a really earnest and personal way lol. I know twitter sort of works this way, too but I’m just not a twitter person, as much as I’d love to be. It’s also just a really lovely way of saving reference media, and it’s as anonymous as you want it to be. I love to use my tumblr as a mood board for my life. People are also soooo funny on tumblr, and I love the dashboard layout, it’s so soothing to me lol..but maybe it’s soothing because i’ve been using it as a comfort since I was, like, 12. I am rooting for tumblr to survive for as long as possible. Follow me @grossives it’s not that interesting but I give you full permission to scroll back to 2012 when I was reblogging cobra snake pictures of models, and flash photos of crystal blue pool water lol.

I‘ve started to keep an assortment of different cigs all in one pack. Kinda fun to mix it up sometimes.
What am I feeling tonight;
Reading at Sovereign House? Hestia.
Dancing at Home Sweet Home?
Marlboro Light.
Screening at The Roxy? Parliament.

I just finished assembling the tracklist for a mix cd I plan on gifting to a friend for Christmas- the first one I've committed to making in years. The process of sifting through your library to find a sense of cohesion while also channeling the taste profile of your recipient is hands down my favorite way of exercising my sonic sensibilities.
CDs have become such a novelty in this day and age of streaming which makes gifting a personalized one that much more special (: Long Live The Mix!

Bonafide Classic. My family and I have watched every Christmas since I was tiny. Hilarious and heartfelt. Perhaps a wee bit overrated but who cares, we only do this once a year! Something about the 1940s Christmas aesthetic that really just gives me the warm and fuzzies.
