I Found Out Through A Fucking House MD Shitpost About Chase.

1. Yes they have to fight, 2. Tell me who’s fighting who in the tags! (I’ll add the most ridiculous combos in a reblog)

tumblr i am literally begging you to let me reblog your shitpost ads

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

ROUND FIVE, SIDE ONE: Stanley (The Stanley Parable) vs Tad Strange (Gravity Falls)

tumblr blackout proposal

tumblr mobile has steadily 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

remove flashing ads, including not accepting blaze campaigns for posts with flashing in them

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.

[edit: a 'blackout' is when you don't log in, or interact with the site at all, for [x] amount of time.]

I suggest from the 30th of June.

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!

edit: tumblr rejected the blaze campaigns for this post because they know it would hurt them. let's make this an indefinite blackout - it's the best way to get results.

edit 2: plain text version of this post

Just found the german (my first language) translation of Hamilton on Spotify. My first impression was that it's well translated but the choice of words are odd.

Then I got to "Die Schuyler Schwestern" (Schuyler Sisters) and ran into this line:

Literal translation: "You're a babe, I would drink your bathwater."

This line is a replacement for the line "I'm a trust fund, Baby, you can trust me"

Now I can see why it was so unsuccessful.

one of my worst writing sins is abusing my power to create compound words. i cannot write the sentence "The sun shone as bright as honey that afternoon." no. that's boring. "The sun was honey-bright that afternoon" however? yes. that sentence is dope as fuck. i do not care if "honey-bright" is a word in the english dictionary. i do not care if the sentence is grammatically correct. i will not change. i will not correct my erred ways. the laws of the english language are mine.

Throwback to when I took painkillers and woke up with Photoshop open on my computer to this image I had made

I've got some good news for you.

I can't explain it but Ides of March feels like a Tumblr festival. Every year we amp it up, meming in anticipation of the main event, where we celebrate the brutal murder of a dictator at the hands his friends and colleagues by posting nonsense for a full 24 hours. I wonder if @staff will turn it into merch.
