SPOCK | STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE (1979)
I love this line delivery so much:
"ₙₒₒ ᵢ'ₘ ₙₒₜ"
sorry theres not a single person on this website id pay to follow idc if we’ve been mutuals for six years, if you put up a paywall we’re done
{ID: an image of Bernie Sanders captioned with text saying "I am once again asking my mutuals to complete the Post+ survey to keep Tumblr free. Post+ is a terrible idea and WILL fuck over anyone who could possibly benefit from it"}
Wait there's a survey where is it?
OH ME GOD TY
GUYS YOU CAN ANSWER MULTIPLE TIMES
DON’T DO THAT. Look. I’m a researcher that uses online surveys A LOT. You know what happens to a flood of replies from the same IP? They get flagged as a bot/ballot box stuffing and deleted.
Answer once. Answer clearly. Don’t try to be clever or cute. I guarantee whoever came up with this BS will be just itching for any reason to toss stuff that doesn’t reflect well on their idea. “Cause corporate entities aren’t bound to data ethics the same way academic researchers are.
Please listen to @frankenmouse . Many of my mutuals know I work in software development. One of the many tasks I have is soliciting feedback from the user base. When we do a survey like this, do you know what we do with surveys that are filled with Memes, laced with profanity, from the same IP, or otherwise unhelpful? We bin them. They do not get read. They do not count towards any numbers.
If you feel strongly about this issue, definitely answer the survey. Answer honestly, and don’t spare feelings. But don’t be rude, abusive, unhelpful, or reply with Memes for reblog points. Doing so undermines your ability to get any actual message through to the people who make decisions.
Take this survey once, don’t be funny or put memes in there or anything like that, they most likely have filters that will filter out those responses. State your real opinion in a clear and polite way.
Y'know what, fuck this bullshit. I need to know y'all are actually against it.
Reblog this if you will NOT use or support Post+.
I hope to make @staff see how that is total bullshit. Tumblr will die without writers/creators.
Post+ is an absolute trash fire and I will not touch it with a 10 foot pole
In light of the recent PostPlus nonsense tumblr is trying to pull, here's a reminder that monetization of fanfiction can lead you to legal trouble. On Ao3 it's against the TOS to even mention any money-sending site at all because of the conditonal protection they offer.
Putting your entire fanfiction blog behind a paywall is like pointing a neon sign saying "please sue me". I bring this up specifically because tumblr mentioned fanfiction in the post that they made and that is going to leave a lot of people misinformed.
Remember: Do NOT paywall your fanworks.
And rest assured, my blog will never be pay-to-read, even if this weren't a fanfiction blog. I think the whole thing is ridiculous.
Friendly reminder that you can take the Post+ survey more than once. You can REALLY tell them how VERY much you won't use this feature to neither pay for other blogs nor make others pay for your blog, and all the reasons why Tumblr must remain free~
Because I have and let me tell you, I normally don't bother/forget to do these things, but this time, it truly matters.
As you might have noticed, we’re beta-testing something new: Tumblr Post+. What’s Post+? A big deal, for starters. Post+ is our new subscription feature that allows you to use our existing multi-media post form to create unique paid feeds or support other blogs by subscribing to theirs. Fear not, Tumblr will always be free to use, this is just a way to continue to empower unique voices and throw a little coin to your favorite artists, fanfic writers, or maybe even that one mashup Supernatural/Studyblr blog you’ve been following since 2016.
(3 a.m. infomercial voice) But wait, there’s more. We want to know every possible way we can make Post+ the best experience for you and your community. To do that, we’d love to hear from you. Specifically, we want your thoughts on how you’d use a feature that provides a feed of exclusive posts on Tumblr. What would you like to see? Don’t be shy 👉👈. Get in touch. Do it often, if you like. We’re excited to hear your thoughts. And keep your eyes on this space (go ahead now, click follow ☝️). Teamwork makes the dream work, etc.
don’t know why this post disappeared when I tried to reblog it the first time, but here, I did your survey :)
Adding onto this
Everyone do this actually, we all don’t want this to become a thing, so fill out their survey and tell them exactly why. This is the official means of giving our feedback, use it.

Tips That Can Save Your Kid’s Life.
THIS IS IMPORTANT
When I was a child, from the time I was about four and could understand things, my mom told me and my brother that we should have a secret word. That way, if we were ever in trouble or felt unsafe and we didn’t want the people around us to know we needed her to come get us, we could let her know. So she let us pick the word and my brother and I chose the phrase “peanut butter cups.” (I’m happy to share the phrase now since both my brother and I are adults now).
I used the phrase twice in my life. Once, I was at a friends house when I eight years old. Her dad got really drunk and was throwing things against the wall. I was really scared and I didn’t want to draw attention to myself on the phone when I called my mom to come get me because I didn’t know if he would get more violent if I asked her to come get me. So I called her and was calm and after a couple minutes I asked “Hey mommy, did you get me those peanut butter cups from the store?” And she said “I’ll be right there.” And she came and got me within minutes.
Second, I was a teenager spending the night at a friends house. Her brother and dad were drinking and they started talking about things that made me uncomfortable - ie: what they liked to do to women. My friend didn’t seem perturbed and said that was normal for them and that I shouldn’t worry. But I was worried because they were really drunk and I was 15 and the only ‘woman’ around that wasn’t related to them. I went in my friends room, told her I needed to call my mom and say goodnight. Before I hung up with her I asked “Next time we go to the store, can we get some peanut butters cups? I’ve been craving them.” And she came and got me, just like that.
Two incidents, one as a young child, one years later as a teen. Don’t discredit this stuff, it fucking works. My brother used it a few times too. Let your child pick the word and no never, ever, ever, ever get mad at them for using it no matter what it is.
DO NOT SCROLL PAST THAT.
Off topic, but very important! I was taught to yell “this is not my mom/dad.” A young kid freaking out in public is likely to be ignored out of embarrassment, but a kid telling you right out that they don’t know who is messing with them? That will turn heads.
rEBlOg nOw
I feel like this should be said too if you see a child yelling things like “this isn’t my mum, or I don’t know you” or something don’t ignore them! This system relies on people actually helping the child! It dosent matter how rude you’ll seem or how anxious you are you could be saving a child’s life!
Even if you just ask the child “Do you know this person” if the adult butt’s in make sure to ASK THE CHILD! Even a shy kid will tell you they don’t know this person or just met them or something!
DON’T IGNORE THE SIGNS!
Darn shame if this circulated…
So you mean to tell me that just by reblogging this I’m ruining an organizations plan, wasting them money, and uncovering some shitbag humans awful behaviour?
T R I P L E K I L L
Imagine if they paid THAT much money, yet it still circulated on the internet.
Man imagine someone sharing this with their followers so they too can look at it.
Although someone may not have as much followers as the rest of the people here, it would still be very, very unfortunate if they share it so it would reach more people
How very unfortunate indeed
This is not related to my blog, but it's personally important. Please read it.
It breaks my heart to know that I'm so unwelcome in my own country. So far I've wanted to leave for an opportunity at a better life, because it's becoming impossible to be well off financially here. But now I want to leave out of fear for my safety. This enables homophobic and transphobic attacks.
I'm out publicly, people know of my identity. I live in a small town inna bigoted country, it was dangerous enough already to come out like this. But now? Now that the aggressive people see that the government is with them? Now I'm truly terrified. I can only hope I will be lucky enough not to be targeted, but I know many, many others will become victims. This is not okay.
It just adds insult to injury that they do this during pride month of all times.
I've already started saving up to move away from here, so if you wish to donate and help me get the money faster, my paypal is linked here.
Thank you all for reading this.

Quick reminder that Israel has deprived Gaza of electricity and internet. I read that they only get about 3 hours of electricity a day.
Meaning that extremely few people and only the most tenacious of reporters know what’s happening over there these days. Don’t stop talking about Palestine.

as a friend pointed out, this headline makes it sound like supply will be dwindling. supply is fine. people will be *priced out*.
this is fucking MURDER.
insulin has been mass produced (from animal extracts) since -1923-. slow acting insulin has existed since the ‘50s, and ‘human’ genetically engineered insulin (derived from E. coli bacteria) has existed since 1982.
insulin treatment for diabetes is not some new or ‘unproven’ treatment. according to beyondtype1, “Humalog rapid-acting insulin came on to the market with a list price of $21 a vial in 1997.” adjusting for inflation, a vial these days should cost about $34 at most. instead, it costs over $300. there is NO reason for it to be steadily gaining in price to the point that diabetics are unable to afford their lifesaving medication, other than the sheer inhuman greed of pharmaceutical manufacturers.
let me reiterate: life without insulin (for Type 1 diabetics in particular) is a slow and painful death sentence. the ability to treat diabetes is a relatively modern phenomenon that has allowed countless people to live full, healthy lives. we should be expanding full covereage and access to insulin to diabetics the world over, and it should be FREE.
why are they saying it like it’s fine? Like that’s not specifically to avoid? Just make it free and improve society so ppl won’t be getting diet and cortisol related diseases. ffs
