“twitter and reddit have nsfw how come they don’t have any issues” twitter and reddit have the venture capital money to be able to afford lawyers, can you say the same about tumblr?

instead of having venture capital money tumblr has this guy

if legal disputes were solved with style contests this guy would run the world 

How much of a joke is this? Is that a random pic, or an actual member of tumblr’s legal team or what?

he was an executive assistant

ben 10 is actually the most realistic series centering around a child who suddenly gains superpowers because he just uses them for stupid petty mundane shit

lmfao turns out you can just get an extension to show youtube dislikes again

chrome firefox

Why are so many people against the dislike button disappering, it’s just a button.

A tutorial with a lot of dislikes is probably outdated, fake, or even a scam. Dislikes can’t be deleted or disabled by the video uploader like comments can. When a corporation (like for example, Nintendo) releases a video announcing a new product, no one bats an eye. But if that video has a 1 to 10 like to dislike ratio (like Nintendo’s announcement video for a $49.99 subscription that offers nothing you can’t get on the internet, at a higher quality, for free), that makes them look really bad. And those dislikes being public let viewers know audience opinion at a glance, without having to dig through Reddit or Twitter or whatever (Comments aren’t good for that bc they can be deleted/disabled, and the ones that the uploader likes tend to go to the top.) This change isn’t being made to help Youtubers or viewers. They are doing this to keep corporations happy.

Remember, the lie was that it was to help protect YouTubers and make a more inclusive community. Except the dislikes are still visible to the uploader. It’s 110% about protecting brands and corporations, especially in the larger media that YouTube was once in a position to replace before they became just another cog in the wheel.

Nah. It’s about protecting ideological illusions like manufactured consensus.

everytime the government gets ratiod to death and angel gets its wings

movie idea: guy finds a stone tablet engraved with a mysterious alien language and gets caught up in a national treasure-esque adventure to decipher its meaning, only to learn that it’s just an alien “live, love, laugh” decoration

the karens are omnipresent

Today I learned that my husband keeps a notes app on his phone that has a list of all of my favorite things including but not limited to flower, ice cream, and cocktail and I don’t know how I feel about it 😂

Oh listen I know this is very very sweet because again Husband is rocks for brain bubble man. It is hilarious to me because the list has things like

“Favorite ice cream: butter pecan. I married a little old lady.”

“Favorite Ben and Jerry’s (this is different then regular ice cream) Phish Food. Has no idea who Phish is just thinks the chocolate fish are neat”

And I feel exposed.

“Favorite flower: orchid or lily, but she can have neither because our cats are stupid demon babies spat out from hell who will eat them and perish. She would prefer chicken nuggets anyways.”

“Favorite donut: old fashioned, for breaking in half and sharing with with the dog.”

“Favorite coffee: iced. Do not offer hot coffee under any circumstance. The only hot beverage allowed is hot coco and the yearly white chocolate peppermint mocha”

Okay I don’t need to be called out like this.

the mortifying ordeal of being married.

Stop it this is hilarious

,,, this certainly was a choice is all I’m saying

you can turn it off but only once

Look at his face, man.

He is so disappointed in you.

“WHY DID YOU NOT PATENT THIS”

yall in this fuvking fandom dont know what an animatic is huh

kids these days are like "i spent 14 months storyboarding, lining, inbetweening, colouring, shading, adding effects in post," like baby thats not an animatic anymore thats a feature film

However the tricky thing is in the fandom space if you don’t call it an animatic people aren’t going to find it in their searches

Wow. The patience, kindness and calm communication skills. Outstanding.

This made me cry. I wish all situations could be handled as perfectly as this

I just want to point out the core of what the diffuser did in this conversation

They recognized that the mother was also expressing a vulnerable truth about herself - that she felt like a bad mother because her child was expressing gender feelings she wasn’t equipped to help with - and met her where she was, a concerned parent with limited information - to point her where she should be heading, research and resources.

Im going to make more of an effort to stop reflexively pushing people away when they express biases and make more of an effort to hear the underlying fears when i can

“it’s easier to love ourselves when we feel loved as ourselves”

damn that is so  powerful though

God this always makes me tear up ahaha…

I think this is a conversation that fandom needs to have in general.

When you encounter something that makes you uncomfortable while you’re playing a video game, reading something on AO3, browsing Twitter, or scrolling through Tumblr, you have the power to remove yourself. You can stop reading, you can hit the back button, you can block/mute, you can turn the device off entirely.

“Consent” has a very specific meaning. When you’re consuming a piece of media that a creator has posted on their own personal account, you are in their space. That is a one-sided interaction. They’re not at all involved, they can’t reach through the screen to hit the back button for you. They’re not “violating your consent” or “pushing your boundaries”, because you are the one in control.

We need to stop acting like creators are 100% responsible for the mental well-being of every person who could possibly encounter their work, and instead start taking responsibility for our own online experiences.

Christian private education produces the gayest bitches known to mankind or the most insufferable assholes. there's no in between.

I will never put my children through the Christian private education system. I can't take my chances on the off-chance that they are straight. Also fuck paying for K12.

Is there rly any softer scene than when o'malley sees duchess and falls in love with her at first sight in the aristocats, complimenting her at every turn and climbing into a cherry blossom tree to make the flower petals snow gracefully down on her? How dreamy 🥀💕

This Is Love 😍😍

Not to mention when he found she had kids, he was thrown for a second, then proceeded to not only still help her, but dote on them too.

“Not all men” you’re right, Abraham DeLacey Giuseppe Casey Thomas O’Malley would never.

"But where's that light coming from" BITCH IT'S FANTASY WHO CARES

Ok but also from a like, theatrical storytelling perspective, there’s a thing called “willful suspension of disbelief” which is basically the concept that in order to let ourselves be immersed and enjoy a story, we need to turn off our knowledge that it’s all fake anyway.

like yes, we all *know* it’s unrealistically bright for a night time war, but it needs to be so we can SEE the story being told, and the lighting designer used blue light to show it was night time. We KNOW that Sir Ian isn’t actually a wizard but we SUSPEND that DISBELIEF because we want to be entertained.

theres the moon, theres the stars, in this fantasy world the stars might be four times as bright or there might be two moons or, considering this is a land without electric lights, its assumed that everyones eyes, including those of the viewers, have adjusted enough to the darkness that yes normal ass moon and stars provide sufficient illumination to actually see that the elf king is not wearing sweatpants like youd be able to tell or who the hell was that who just got stabbed thats kind of an important detail in an action scene

Elijah Wood said he brought this up with Andrew Lesnie, cinematographer on LOTR, once and asked him where the light was coming from in a particular scene, and Lesnie just smiled and said “same place as the music”.

redd animal crossing doesnt even know if the art hes selling you is fake he literally just gets it from god knows where and is like “this looks sick” and then puts it on his boat

he doesn’t know what it’s called either. he’ll be like “check out this Proper Painting. This Fat Nuts Statue” and Blathers takes one look at it to tell you “that’s Michelangelo’s David. where did you get this”
