Poor Etho, how will he survive his boat boy leaving him for 2 whole weeks :((

Having anotheg 'gork we have got to get out of bed faster then this' morning

dasfsffadfjdag I meant girl but gork works better

I didn't even question it I was nodding along like I'm literally right there with you gork

Temporarily possessed by caveman with executive dysfunction.

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

Saw a sharp increase in my follower count after posting this. The legitimacy of it is driving me nuts so I also feel the need to say that you can follow anyone on here regardless of whether you’ve interacted with them or not. People like the above mentioned blog are exceptions. Perhaps they themselves think they aren’t and therefore will act like they aren’t, but they are, trust me.

Just follow anyone you wanna follow. The worst thing that can happen is maybe getting soft-blocked by the other person, but if they do soft-block you, then they were never that worth following in the first place.

wow. really hope this isn't actually a norm taking hold with new users! this isn't facebook, you don't need to know people before following them

Follow anyone you think is neat, that's what the function is for. You're not like sitting in their house raiding their fridge, you're listening to them yell out of the window

SAM'S NEW WINTER OUTFIT IS A PERSONAL ATTACK

Why are all of my favs pink,,,,

do you see this shit my liege

okay everyone cash in your reblogs for this post now because im gonna make it unrebloggable on its 1 year anniversary (dec 9th). have fun w it <3

yknow ever since people realized tumblr isnt dead and have decided to flock here from twitter and tiktok ive seen a huge influx of people in fandom spaces who dont reblog anything. at all.

like, i used to have an art blog with 340 followers. not a ton but not a small amount either given how this website works with creators. and in my experience back then even the ones who only left likes still reblogged other things or at least posted their own stuff. literally the only empty blogs were clearly bots.

but on this New art blog, i've had so many people with fandom-specific headers and icons with actual usernames as urls and some kind of title or description, but have. Nothing. no posts. all they do is like things. and it's always public, too. their following list and their likes list.

and honestly all it makes me think is that these people are New and also don't know how tumblr works. how likes don't give exposure. not even in a "oh, i know it doesn't give exposure, but i'm still going to reblog anyways" way, but in a genuine honest to god straight up doesn't realize tumblr likes don't work like twitter's.

PLEASE please if you're from tiktok or twitter or whatever please reblog people's art both fandom and original if you like it!! and maybe actually pad out your blog's content in some way so people won't potentially see you as a bot and block you.

REBLOG ARTIST'S WORK. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THEY GET ANY ATTENTION ON THIS WEBSITE OH MY GOD. PLEASE. I BEG of you

Reblog this to give the person you reblogged from a heart shaped cookie

new discord hacking scam

this one is pretty clever

basically

never scan QR codes on discord. do not join these servers. do not put the rest of your friends list in danger.

This was a common scam on Facebook for a while, ages ago, and in spam email as well

The trick is the same one sales people use: create a sense of urgency to short circuit your better judgement. You panic and imagine everything bad anyone can say to you, and before it occurs to you that the person on the other end is acting strange and might be full of shit, you’ve already given them your info

Don’t panic. Think about what’s happening and what it might mean. Never click mysterious links.

. . . i wanna do something i haven’t done in a while. brb.

welcome back to the internet’s favorite game: how are people fucking up crumb’s skin tone today, where i force myself to go through the crumbfanart hashtag on twitter to see how badly she’s been butchered!

i’ve chosen 20 pieces at fanart at random* and color dropped crumb’s skintone from each piece! on the left we have three different references crumb herself gave—one from when she spoke about being whitewashed, and two from her most recent animation—for comparison! let’s see how these fare!

*while random, i did avoid those with extreme lighting/overlays

out of 20 pieces, only three were accurate to crumb’s skin tone. three.

crumb is asian. crumb is tanned. she is not white or pale skinned. her undertones are clearly yellow, not pink or red.

going dark just because she’s tanned isn’t good, either. just because she isn’t whitewashed doesn’t mean she’s portrayed accurately. crumb has specifically stated what her skintone is, going as far to provide a reference, and people continue to ignore her and go against her wishes. it’s disgusting and not just a twitter issue in the slightest. stop using arbitrary skin tones for crumb and listen to her one plea for people to draw her accurately, for fucks sake.

Finally, some good news.

This is so great because if anyone is caught impeding or messing with these deliveries, it’s MAIL, that makes it a FEDERAL crime, whoever fucks with these packages gets charged FEDERALLY, they face up to five years in prison.

[ID: A tweet by @ nytimes that reads, "Breaking News: Women can get abortion pills by mail for pregnancies up to 10 weeks without seeing a doctor in person, the FDA ruled. The decision comes as the Supreme Court considers whether to roll back abortion rights or even overturn Roe v. Wade." Attached is a link to the article and a screenshot of the title and subtitle of the article. The article was published Dec 16, 2021. The title reads, "F.D.A. Will Permanently Allow Abortion Pills by Mail" and the subtitle reads, "The decision will broaden access to medication abortion, an increasingly common method, but many conservative states are already mobilizing against it." /end ID]

Resources for anyone that ends up in a restricted state:

Aid Access - they can send you the abortion pill even if you live in a restricted state.

PLUS, you do not have to be pregnant to order them. You can order to have on hand, in case of an emergency.

Repro Legal Helpline (reprolegalhelpline.org) -

Some of the things they can help with above.

Miscarriage + Abortion Hotline (mahotline.org) -

They have a ton of information, and resources in one place.

Also, if you find yourself in a restricted state, you need to be careful of how and with whom you are talking about it. You need to use safe, encrypted messaging and calling.

I also recommend removing any biometric information for unlocking your phone. Use a PIN or password instead of a fingerprint or facial recognition.

ppl who celebrate fictional character birthdays are annoying pass it on

FUCK this post and happy birthday sonic

STOP EATING DAILY HARVEST FOOD IMMEDIATELY!! THEIR SHIT IS MAKING PEOPLE NEED TO HAVE ENTIRE FUCKING ORGANS REMOVED

the FDA is still testing the food, especially their lentil crumbles, to find out exactly what is wrong and I will update here when those results come out

people are being hospitalized with major liver damage and many have had to have organs removed

I do not give a SINGLE fuck if it is just the lentil crumbles right now but when there is something this wrong at any point in the chain of daily harvest's products it is NOT WORTH IT

one theory is that the food may be contaminated with aflatoxins

which are some of the strongest carcinogens and mutagens on the PLANET

DO NOT FUCK WITH THIS EVEN A LITTLE

if you’re a new tumblr user from tiktok or IG or something and only like posts and dont reblog them yeah people will think you’re a bot and block you but you will also make this website actively worse. they want “algorithmic” users like you, served recommended posts through likes, not people who just follow each other and respond to the direct chronological feed. there is a reason this website is still better than the rest, even with all its problems, do not ruin this

ok i need to make this clearer: if you do not reblog posts and only like them you are contributing to this site actively getting worse and becoming like all the apps you hate. keep likes to things you just wanna keep off your blog. reblog everything else. ESPECIALLY fanart, which always needs a reblog.

and FYI: what i’m saying here is backed up by tumblr themselves. they admit this publicly.

if you want a good RECENT (as of the end of February 2022) overview of what is going on behind the scenes at tumblr, it is basically what i’ve been saying for years: the core staff is tiny, constantly not being listened to when they advocate for us, the community, and working there is a nightmare:

Reblogging to encourage people instead of only liking is really not that fucking hard if you dont want people to be discouraged cuz their stuff get zero interactions and 99% useless likes and be driven off the Platform.

Likes are how you store posts you want to look at later (articles you don’t have time to read at the moment, videos you can’t play because you’re out in public, etc)

Reblogs are how you show you like something

This is how Tumblr works and why it’s not as miserable as other social media
