This is going to be my last post before I log off for the December 17th protest.

In case you aren’t aware of what I’m talking about (even though I’ve reblogged about it a lot), basically a large amount of users are going to be participating in a protest against Tumblr’s new policies on the 17th by logging off the site, and not logging back on for a full 24 hours. As you can see in the image above, the protest will be taking place 12 am EST, but here’s the full list in regards to the exact times the protest is taking place in case you need it:

Here’s what you can do to participate in the protest:

DO:

- Close all open instances you have of tumblr (closing all open tabs of tumblr on your browser and closing any instances you have of the app on your phone)

- Pause your queue or set it for a different time so nothing goes up on your blog during the protest.

- While you can (there’s only roughly 5 hours left- maybe less by the time you read this) make your followers aware of the protest and encourage them to participate, too. The more people we have participating the bigger the impact it will have.

- Be vocal and present on other social medias if you have them, and express how you’re participating in the Log Off protest/how you’re angry with Tumblr’s policies and actions on said social medias. This way it won’t just look like a drop off from social media, it’ll make it very clear to staff that we’re protesting because we’re angry with their new policy and their actions.

DON’T:

- Open the tumblr app or open tumblr on your desktop during the protest.

- Continue to reblog/post during the protest, or have posts go up from your queue during the protest.

- Delete your account/blog. This won’t accomplish anything besides making it hard to come back after the protest is over.

And because a lot of people have been curious about it: NO, STAFF AND THE PEOPLE WHO RUN TUMBLR AREN’T JUST GOING TO DELETE TUMBLR BECAUSE WE CHOSE TO LOG OFF FOR A DAY. Their main interest is money, and making a profit off the website. If they deleted the website, all possible profit they could have continued to make from it would be gone, and they’d lose millions, possibly billions of dollars. They wouldn’t do that. Trust me, they wouldn’t.

I’d also just like to add that, in case you couldn’t already infer, I will not be responding to any messages, answering any asks, reblogging, or posting on the 17th while the protest is underway.

Before I go, I’d just like to say in case I don’t end up coming back on Tumblr (if they refuse to revoke their policies I WILL be moving somewhere else. I’ll let you all know where in case I do):

Gentlemen, it’s been an honor being trash with you.

See y’all on Tuesday.

What’s with this whole everybodys leaving tumblr after the 17th thing ? I think I might have missed something…

It’s a form of protest. The site is ostensibly cracking down hard on NSFW content, but it is doing so in a way that is highly damaging to its userbase. As a result, the users are making a big noise about it, and on Dec. 17 we are trying to get as many people to stay off Tumblr for as long as possible. Just one day of silence to make the people at the top pay attention.

INTO THE SPIDERVERSE HAS LOTS OF FLASHING LIGHTS WITHOUT ANY WARNING

  • The title screen, which is around a minute long, is constantly flashing
  • The end scene, which is around 10 minutes, is also filled with flashing, almost without a pause
  • There are several instances of flashing during the movie as well, either because of the animation style or because the of the plot (sometimes both)
  • But just like in incredibles 2, the plot relies heavily on flashing and there’s a LOT more than in incredibles

PLEASE be careful because there is a LOT of flashing lights in this movie (and no warning)

I encourage everyone to reblog this, even if you’re not sensitive, you never know who you could save by informing them of this

U tampons by Kortex are being recalled because of a fault meaning they’re leaving pieces of tampon in the body after they’ve been removed. It’s mainly affecting people in the US and Canada, and people who bought products before 16th October 2018.

Please if you use this product check the box for the serial number (block of numbers on the same face as the barcode):

Find out more info on their official website here

Stay safe and please share this so other people don’t continue to buy faulty tampons!

Heres the thing you gotta understand about statistics. 

“Increases your chances by 80%” does not mean “there is now an 80% chance”. 

If your chances were previously 10%, your chances are now 18%, not 90%. 

if your chances were roughly 1%, they’re now just slightly less than 2%. 

thats how that works.

im only saying this once

the only acceptable jobs for spider-man

  • broke high schooler
  • broke college student
  • freelance photographer
  • high school teacher
  • unpaid intern
  • pizza delivery guy
  • research assistant for doomed scientific project
  • guy who stands on street and spins sign for quiznos
  • being spider-man

and thats IT i dont want any of this “hes a genius tech ceo making millions” SHIT. Spider-man is BROKE and he missed rent this month and he has a tiny apartment and thats how its MEANT TO BE. he doesnt make money because he is our Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-man and not fucking Tony Stark.

how about dog walker while in spiderman costume

you. you get it

im imagining “being spider-man” as his full-time gig and i just

he has a patreon. the description is just the words “I’m Spider-Man” and all he ever posts is specifically-requested selfies from people who want to be sure its really him. pinned to the top of the page is a picture from the top of the empire state building (not the observation deck, the real top) of his spider-gloved hand holding a bagel that is on fire, with 34th street in the background

Tony Stark isn’t the type of person who technically has to put up with people snarking at him, but he does, and he loves it. I mean, he programmed Jarvis to sass him back. He trusted - and then fell in love with - Pepper (Pepper, who doesn’t fawn over him and says that she wasn’t crying because Tony came home, but because she hates job hunting.) His best friend is Rhodes who never follows Tony blindly and just goes “I’m holding onto your suit,” and takes off despite protests. Even Happy, as dutiful as he is, is blunt with his boss. And Tony chooses them, when he could so easily have people who put him on a pedestal. For a character who frequently gets called an egomaniac, Tony Stark constantly surrounds himself by people who sass him, who aren’t afraid to argue with him, and who cut him down to size when it’s called for…And that’s pretty telling.
