Help me refresh my dashboard!

I've been on Tumblr on and off since 2014, and many of my favorite blogs have deactivated or gone silent. Help me refresh with some new content!

I'm open to most types of blogs. Rebloggers or creators of funny content are good. I miss the single-topic blogs that seem to be largely defunct, like uglyrenaissancebabies or outofcontextscience. Anything with interesting, well-read, or funny content is good. Leftist politics/social justice discourse only if they're extremely insightful - Tumblr tends to get kinda out there.

Bad: racist/sexist/whatever humor
Very negative SJ bloggers (I know the world is fucked, just let me try to live my life without being reminded)
Fandom (again, unless well-researched or exploring something outside the typical realm)

Thank you for your recommendations!
