One of the greatest people in the world. I bet you money that he will end up famous af.


As some of you might know, I used to team up with @Nutfund and reward the new voices on the platform that had less than 5000 WHALESTAKE. A couple of weeks back I decided to maybe try again so I reached out to them and got some powaaa. Unfortunately, I realized only afterward that there are not a lot of new faces on Whaleshares right now which is sad. Fret not, I did find a solution.

What did I do?

Well, I went through everyone I had rewarded before, of course, and it was just how I had feared, some of them were still posting, still under that 5k mark. So, I took the liberty of rewarding them for the second time. Wanna see the names that I think are awesome?

@loveisintheair

She is my absolute favorite and yes, I get to choose those! I love her delicious posts and the vibrant colors they sport. I get hungry by looking at them even when I have just eaten. 12/10 in all aspects of everything she posts!

@luces

Spanish is not a language I am excellent in but I do understand a tiny bit of it. That being said, I have to translate the poems @Luces writes and they still sound amazing. Imagine what beauty the native speakers are privy to! Also, dat formatting!

@leo

Videos of different kinds. Yes, they are once again, in Spanish but there is also a huge part of the world's population that speaks the tongue. There are tutorials, comparisons, testing of things. Check this guy out, he is kinda cool.

@tombalistreri

I remembered this man just by his user handle and that kind of tells a lot. He does song covers and, for some reason, his performance has stayed fresh in my mind even though I curated him for the first time a long time ago.

@corvo

I guess I am a sucker for art. All kinds of it. Always have been, always will be. I like the ballpen drawings that this man creates. They are super realistic and epic. Gotta say it, drawing is not something I can just do or have the patience for so I have huge respect for everyone who puts in the time to perfect this art.

@greddyforce

I love the many sunsets in this artists posts. Looking at the pictures he has on his blog, I kind of felt like a weightless cloud floating in the air. Just existing, not worried. Not stressed. Not longing and hurting.

@riverflowing

Nettles are great! Riiight? I kind of come from a place that still partly embraces pagan culture and cooks by grandmas recipes so I was really in the nettle soup recipe. Of course, there is more on their blog than just this. Sooo... you should check it out!

@greencross

Last but not least. Maybe I should have started with this account since it does feature music. You know what, maybe you should put on a track or two of theirs and then read the other blogs. Scratch that. You should definitely do that!


So, I have had a weird, weird week.

Last two days were great and I needed them since the week before that was rather... odd. I spent some time with one of my best friends yesterday and today, at his house in the countryside and I am so thankful for that. He is the best host and even a better friend. Being around ''normal'' and ambition was a blessing, especially since...

I kind of sort of got proposed to, so I got that going for me. We already know what the daughter is going to be named and that I will not drive a minivan. Over my dead body! Also, negotiations on child count did not end but I am pretty sure I will get my three.

Kidding aside. No, I am not getting married but yes, this conversation did happen and it was not initiated by me but my baby fever is kind of a bitch right now so I entertained the idea of building that pristine world in my head for a moment.

You know, the one that is picture-perfect, with a white picket fence, two dogs and three children running in the yard while I drink some lemonade and try to do a crossword while my second half is clearly better at it and beats me to almost every guess. Then the kids start a balloon fight with us and the newspaper is soaked. But no, I am not that one mom that berates them. I am as stupid and crazy as those little monsters so I join in and soon all of us are playing like maniacs.

But seriously, all this conversation happened with someone I went out on a couple of awkward dates on a long time ago and sort of, kind of made out once in high school. Most recently we saw each other to catch up. He is a great guy but you might kinda see my issue. I have no idea who he has become in the last years. Yes, our convos are no longer awkward and we both want the same thing but I have changed a lot since my school days. I have no doubt he has as well. And the conversation came out of the blue. I mean, maybe we should go out once or twice before we settle down, huh? :D

Also, I visited someone who seemed to need my help and some moral support before but when I arrived, their health was already good and I was tossed aside. Turns out, I maybe need to be a bigger asshole because sometimes people are just horrible and I kind of end up feeling like a deflated jellyfish. The worst part, I did not even get to visit the place I wanted to go to in the end.

I do not, however, regret the trip because I did get to catch up with some people that made me cry when I saw them. Yes, those were happy tears. And thank god, I needed that break.

My aunt lives on an island that has a huge fire destroying it right now. Supposedly, there is ash falling from the sky and they do not have enough power to put it out. Did I mention it is an island already?

What else? Oh, somebody has run into my car and made sure I need to fix it otherwise the screeching sound won't stop. So yeah, fun! I know, I am the life of a party.

Why am I ranting? Probably to annoy @Akrid less when I drop all of it on him in a couple of hours. Or, tomorrow. Who knows. Maybe because I have an amazing collection of pictures on my other blog that all look happy even though I am not always doing the bestest (I know that is not a real word). What I am trying to say, I have had some great and bad time this summer. Not everything is as it seems and I expect nobody else to be perfect. Only you can judge yourself.

I know why I wrote the previous mumbo jumbo! I just really had to make a great promotion for my other blog! Here, go check out @travelers. It is hardly as crazy as my real life.


Spreading the confusion,
Linda
