tumblr users will have the most inaccessible, unreadable, low contrast, flashing carrd you can possibly imagine, with a dni full of insider acronyms with no translation and numerous link buttons labelled with cryptic captions, and then go ahead and put “ableists dni and kys!” on that carrd

and don’t get me started on how hostile some dnis are to people with paranoia/psychosis/ocd. honestly some dnis read as if they’re intentionally trying to trigger people. saying “dni if you support DISGUSTING things or are a FREAK” with no elaboration on your subjective definition of those words achieves absolutely nothing. “if you support (x random belief) i will literally come to your house and poison ur food lol”… “(x type of blog) fuck off i’m in your walls and your fave character hates you”…

immediate unfollow if i see any of these type of statements, even if i agree with all the basic points of your dni

I'm going to dump some basic resources and tips here so that people have a place to start when considering accessibility in carrds, pinned posts, and banner design.

-Here's a tool that allows you to check the contrast between your background and your text.

-Here's an article by Mozilla that covers making your webpage accessible to people with epilepsy and other disorders that are aggravated by flashing lights.

-Here are some UI design tips from Maze that will make your carrd easier to navigate.

Additionally:

-Don't use blinkies or the goofy flaming meme text to communicate must-read information. Both can be difficult to read, especially because they contain flickering/flashing lights.

-Don't censor words with added punctuation marks or numbers. "Gore" is easier to read and comprehend at a glance than "G0r3". Censoring words also makes it difficult for people to effectively blacklist terms so that they can manage their mental health.

-Fancy looking fonts can become illegible when they're used in smaller body text. Use a font that's simple and standard when creating paragraphs or bullet lists.

-At best, your self harm/suicide encouragement and graphic threats make you look like a presumptuous, unfunny edgelord. At worst, they will trigger a well-meaning person who just wanted to learn more about you. Don't do that to people.

Your pages don't have to be boring or devoid of personality to be somewhat accessible. You can have a pastel Sanrio themed multi-page carrd if you really want to, just label your navigation buttons and don't put light pink text on white backgrounds. 🌺

Tesla claims another life.

Reminder that even if you are personally aware of how dangerous Tesla vehicles are and vow to never ride in one, they can still kill you.

My own driving habits have changed around them. I always give Teslas extra space, avoid following them directly, and expect them to stop or swerve suddenly without notice.

Cannot count the times I've pulled up next to a Tesla at freeway speed, noticed the driver playing on their phone. Tap the horn. They look up with surprise.

Please, don't be that guy.

hope this is okay to add but Jeffrey’s family has created a gofundme to cover funeral expenses and other costs.

god created man to be penetrated

i posted this with violence and the crucifixion in mind and you hussies are talking about anal

me when i lie

Communists and anarchists will spend all day talking about abstract concepts and structures like capitalism and the state, but willfully ignore the very real, tangible curse placed upon me by the foul necromancer

You people are victim blaming me when I'm literally shrouded in a miasma of unholy pestilence

this is incomprehensible, reblog

its important to do this every time a museum or school thinks this is a good idea

Did you intentionally make him Cajun before that screencap or was that baked into the prompt already. I ask only because the eyes as green as the bayou got me good

he's naturally australian so i gave him an upgrade

🙁?

i just realized this is funny every month of the year actually

Alleviating gender dysphoria, not with binding or packing, but a secret third thing (padding your waist and ribs until they are the same size as your breasts)

I’m sorry but this comment is sending me

official boob post

congratulations tumblr! here's your truck

FUCK

That fuckin smile at the end

To the worried person in the comments: 

No, a hummingbird’s heart will not stop if it stops moving. You’re possibly thinking of Spoink, which is a Pokemon that supposedly powers its heart by bouncing, and as such can’t stop moving. Hummingbirds don’t sit often because they’re busy looking for food, but they can and do sit. The females sit on eggs in nests, after all, and they do have to sleep. 

Fun fact: the leg muscles of a hummingbird are so stripped down to save on weight that they cannot walk. They can step sideways along a branch or other perch, but they cannot go forward without taking flight.

However they absolutely do stop moving. In fact, hummingbirds hibernate! Overnight. Instead of sleeping. Because if they tried to sleep like a normal animal their hyperactive metabolism would mean that they starve to death before breakfast.

Unrelated fun fact: the primary Aztec god of war would take on the form of a hummingbird, and the souls of the bravest warriors were said to turn into hummingbirds in order to join him after death, presumably because every hummingbird is approximately four grams of pure concentrated asskicking which fears no man nor beast and will gladly throw down with somebody seventeen thousand times their size if offended.

this is a really cool post and i love seeing such a small bird but reading “No, a hummingbird’s heart will not stop if it stops moving. You’re possibly thinking of Spoink” killed me 

Throwback thursday to when I was like 12 and I was putting out new writing DAILY...... Like entire Chapters of my then-current wips just, over an afternoon. What the fuck was I on

Nobody:

Me, age 12, just started drinking coffee:

I drew 14 pictures during the day, and wrote 32 pages a night. Now I can’t do shit.

A huge part of this is because you've gotten better! And now, when you're drawing/writing/doing whatever creative task, you're not just mindlessly throwing thoughts at your paper, you're thinking as you do it. Children can churn out a lot more work because it's not yet refined, but when you're older and have more practice, you work with all these thoughts running through your head about form and shape, color palettes or word choice. Now, you're making a dozen decisions with every moment of work, and you're also questioning the decisions you've just made, wondering if you can do it better. Don't beat yourself up about producing less work now than you did back then, because every sentence or shape involves a lot more effort for you now, than it did when you were ten and brand new to this hobby.

Also you have a job now and the never-ending bullshit that is laundry and dishes and feeding yourself.

we haven't had a true tumblr sexyman in years. Sans was like the last one. I can still see his weird glowing goo ghost dick when I close my eyes. that kind of absolute derangement just doesn't happen anymore. some people just liking Astarion and Senshi a lot is not the same. a true tumblr sexyman makes this website absolutely unusable

oh my god it was the porn ban. the porn ban killed the tumblr sexyman. the horny can't fester and multiply like it used to. the sexymen are killed in their infancy
