A flawless nugget of Engagement! I will admire it for 30 whole seconds before I have to get back to work!

Literally paused this multiple times to cackle madly. Mad himbo energy, excellent straight woman counter, this is now the only way I want to get news ever.

tumblr is the best social media platform cause i seamlessly transition between shitposts and hyperfixations and deeply personal posts without thought to how an algo will rank them. it’s just me posting to my beautiful non-data-mined followers and them screaming beautifully back.

IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!
easter is on april fools day this year and all i can think about is the bible story of jesus
an apostle: man i can’t believe jesus died
jesus, rising from the grave: surprise bitch april fools
an apostle: we thought you were dead!
jesus, about to invent april fools: oh, you haven’t heard?
tbh no april fools gag tumblr ever pulls will ever be as good as the lizard election of 2016 staff put more effort into that than the rest of this website combined and it shows
for those of you who werent here in 2016 on april fools that year the entire fucking website was transformed and there was an election for a position that wasnt even ever specified and the candidates were four lizards (or three lizards and a salamander as a scandal would later prove) and it was called decision2016
each lizard had their own 3d models and tumblr blog and campaign and there was also a tumblr blog dedicated to reporting on the election and they made like whole ass news broadcasts with a guy in front of a green screen
you could vote for your favorite candidate and there was a built-in function that let you make and post a campaign poster
in case anyone was wondering the winner of the election was mop. relatable and reliable. #Mop Could
lest we forget
my hand-drawn mop2016 fanart sits on my laptop at work and it makes me smile every time i see it.
