48hr Tumblr Blackout Proposal

48hr tumblr blackout proposal

tumblr mobile has seadily become near unusable these past few updates. not just from a user experience perspective (which is important enough in itself) but also from an accessibility perspective.

examples include the new way the image viewer works (if you can call it "working"), the tumblr live button replacing the profile button, and that newly created blogs will be forced to have their main dashboard tab be the 'for you' page.

the demands of the protest would be along the lines of:

reverse the recent image viewer update

scrap the new users 'for you' page default setting

let us turn off tumblr live indefinitely

increase efforts against spam / porn bots

make reporting abuse and hate speech as easy as reporting as reporting spam

let us go nuts show nuts again... for real this time

commit to improving usability and accessibility, and listening to users!

(suggestions welcome!)

to protest against these usability issues, and inspired by the recent reddit blackout, i propose a 48 hour blackout (where you don't use tumblr at all). preferably of both mobile and web (since web has problems too) but mobile is the focus here.

I suggest the 48 hours between the 30th of June to the end of the 1st of July.

this marks the end of pride month (for the "queerest place on the internet") and the start of disability month (since accessibility is a massive issue here).

tumblr office is in San Francisco, USA, so the times and dates will be calculated using their time zone (PDT).

you can find out the times and dates for your timezone here.

i can't afford to blaze this post so please spread it around as much as possible! protests only work if significant numbers show up!

god neil chewing andrew out about being "violently self destructive" was the sexiest thing he did. in exites of all places. he actually cared for andrew so much and rebranded it as curiosity. boy you're in love with the short blond!!

the sad bit is that other people ruined everything andrew wanted for himself first. he botched the adoption to never see drake again. he didn't help officer higgins so he wouldn't have to confront his trauma and show it to everyone. he killed aaron's mother for his safety, but aaron made the deals with andrew and resents ANDREW for it. he doesn't like nicky's parents because they're insane and are hurting him! but nicky is pushy and tends to say off colour stuff andrew doesn't like, but nicky is family so andrew lets him stick around. he wants kevin to help him build a new life so badly but finds kevin like, the most annoying person ever. "are you afraid of your own happiness or do you honestly like being miserable all the time?" it's not his fault!!! he isn't ruining stuff, it was never going to be good anyways!!

people's refusal to work with andrew is what has always denied his happiness, not the other way around. he deserves more.

I love how aftg artists draw Neil with various shades of skin colour and he still always looks like Neil, but then we all agree that Andrew is forever fucking translucent. Like- he stands two seconds under the naked sun and he turns into a lobster with armbands

im addicted to the aesthetic that everything awful is beautiful enough to love

donna tartt: literally writes an entire 600 page book about how it can be dangerous to do things just for the aesthetic

us, already making pinterest boards: oh to be a classics student in vermont in the 80s drinking whiskey from a teacup and occasionally murdering people

Ok just imagine: the twinyards with albinism. For no reason other than that Neil's commentary would be just that bit funnier.

"No, but I would ask coach why your pale ass isn't on drugs"

"No wonder you both wear black all the time, I'd hate to see you two burn"

Neil pointing at white face paint in the Halloween store: Hey Andrew, it's your shade.

They match ghost costumes on halloween without realising and then next year they're both vampires. They learn to coordinate after that.

Just like... the twinyards but the odds are even more physically stacked against them. That is all.

Hey man you okay?

NO. In Foxhole Court when Neil finished his first session with Betsy he goes out and talks to Aaron, he tells him he just spoke to Betsy about exy facts and Aaron tells him he just sat there in silence. AND NEILS REACTION IS "damn...I wish I thought of that. Thats good"

Please why isn't anyone talking about this.
