The Non-binary Urge To Scribble

Yeah, they are pretty similar.

Another thing I didn't mention in the ask was thus:

Say a culture has a word for sand: Nate. ['natɛ]

If one Nate is one grain of sand, what are Multiple Nate (Natel).

What does Natel represent? Multiple grains of sand? A pile of sand? Would they have a new word for a pile of sand? Would it be derived from Nate? Should it be considered plural? It is referring to *a* pile, but it's referring to a *pile*, which has lots of sand grains!

This kind of thing keeps me up at night.

Again, sorry for ranting.

CW: Venting then asking for opinion

I stayed up last night thinking. About what? Sand.

But not sand itself. Nono. Counting with sand.

When you count sand, you count grains of sand. Then you say it's a pile of sand. Then a dune of sand. Then it's just... sand. But there is no clear distinction between any of those counting words.

When does "grains of sand" become "a pile of sand" become "a dune of sand?"

Sand doesn't even have a plural. Think about it. You cannot refer to multiples of sand without using another words. Sands? Nope. Types of sand.

You might say it's the same as with Bison and Sheep, but those can be counted. (1 Bison, 2 Bison, 1 sheep, 354 sheep) You can't count with sand. (1 sand? 2 sand? what?)

Opinions on the subject? Sorry for ranting

Yeah, it's certainly an interesting subject. I remember hearing about this thought experiment with snowflakes instead of sand. Like how many little flakes have to fall in one particular place before you notice you have a small pile of snow? And how many flakes would you have to take away for it to *cease* being a snow pile?

I guess snow and sand are similar things. Like sand has grains, and snow has flakes. But when you have enough flakes grouped together, it just becomes... snow.

This is so important. Always believe in yourself. There IS time to change. Do what you want to do.

its kinda scary how your whole life depends on how well you do as a teenager

Anyways, here's my question: What would you advise to new tumblr users? Your videos make this place seem so wonderful and i really wanna be a part of this. Thanks!! ^w^

Man, I need to be a lot better about tagging my answers for Tumblr newbie advice... otherwise I would say just click on that tag and there you are, and I don't have to repeat myself...

If you're "fresh off the boat" in joining Tumblr and just starting out, welcome! Here are a few things to remember:

Make sure you get yourself a new profile pic when you can, so people don't assume you're a bot when you start following blogs. It can be anything you like, as long as it's not the default Tumblr sphere and cone faces, or a scantily clad humans (usually female) making poses and selfies. :P

Whether you're new or a Tumblr veteran, we are all treated the same. No one knows other people's follower counts, it's not publically broadcasted like Twitter and Instagram, or Youtube subscribers or Facebook friends. Which means there's no need to put people on pedestals, or look down on others.

Don't be afraid of liking and reblogging posts. When you reblog things, you can say nothing, or you can write something relevant or clever in your post addition, hide your thoughts in the tags, or whisper to OP in the comment section.

This is an app / site where you can be yourself. Enjoy the things you like, express yourself how you want to. You might feel like you're screaming into the void for a while at first, but it's not that hard to find people who like the same things you like.

Try to keep your head on straight and your wits about you. They call it Tumblr because it's easy to tumble down the rabbit hole and wind up in strange, whimsical places where everyone is crazy and mad and don't make a lick of sense. If you're a little weird and wacky, you'll fit in nicely. If you're lost and questioning what people are talking about with their plinko horses and vanilla extract memes, be patient. You'll find out soon enough.

There, that should be enough to satisfy newcomers. If you're still wondering what to do, search for Tumblr advice elsewhere. I'm far from being a Tumblr expert. XD

Personally:

Matchbox Twenty - How Far We've Come

Aleph - Gessafelstein

Chamber of Reflection

KALEO - Way Down We Go

Bo Burnham - We Think We Know You
