@shiraglassman

whenever i reblog a post about certain demographics of tumblr users being annoying just know im never doing so with the implication being that i am not also annoying. being annoying online is a human right and it's fine to do. just like how being pissed off at other people for being annoying online is a human right and fine to do.

The Neverending Story (1984)

This is exactly why speculative fiction is important

This is why taking a break for downtime is important

This is why being able to daydream and wander, is important

Without hope and dreams, we can’t even consider that a better world is possible

And that is exactly the point of overworking and underpaying us.

Michael Ende, who wrote The Neverending Story, also wrote Momo, where the villains are little grey men who convince you to “save time” by cutting out everything fun and meaningful in your life. But you never get the saved time back, the little men smoke it.

Momo should be vastly more well-known than it is, IMO.

i think it's nice that people write books and it's possible to read them. often through the public library system

chat how do i kill the desire to be wanted and chosen before it kills me

god the nepo babies you put on this earth to practice patronage are trying to do art themselves

Don’t forget

for anyone confused—

in Maine sheep are released on offshore Islands in spring to graze for summer. With no natural predators on these islands sheep thrive. To be corralled up and brought back to the mainland in early fall.

Seafaring Sheep travel to their Private Island Paradise for the Summer.

Fuck it we bawl (starts sobbing uncontrollably)

sorry to be like this and I'm very much not loving it, but tumblr loses around 30M a year. divided by the cost of yearly subscriptions, it means half a million ish people on premium undoes that loss. I saw stats claiming more than 300M users. That sounds super not right since even the sacred texts don't often cross 1M notes. I know there are around 12M posts a day. Yeah, yeah, we post multiple times a day, but there's a quantity of lurkers out there, and I'm trying to goldilocks a number to do math without having real data to pull from, leave me be.

If there are 12M users, it needs around 4% of users. If there really are 300M (still don't believe this) it would be .16%

You know what portion of Spotify is paid accounts? 40% ish (can't find data from the last year)

But, because we are the worst, and so probably will end up with a sundowning social platform... If someone knows of another platform that has this kind of reblog with added comments that doesn't put your comment first, lmk, cause every alternative someone has suggested aint been it for me. Bluesky and pillowfort aint it. TT is video based. Reddit is.... almost? except that there's a reason we got refugees.

I pay for Tumblr premium because 1) I have the money to do so, and 2) I want this platform to stick around.

If you're out here with the money to spend on tumblr freaking out because you're worried tumblr may disappear because of its yearly losses, there is 1 very real thing you can do to help. And that's a premium subscription.

"OMG BUT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY TO BE ON THIS HELLSITE."

Websites cost money. Period. It's why AO3 does donation drives twice a year. Because it costs money to run a website. Tumblr needs money to run because it is a website. It can't do a donation drive because it's not a non-profit.

But you CAN give them seven dollars a month because you have seven dollars a month and also are very aware of how much time you spend here.

"BUT I HATE IT HERE."

Then leave. Fucking leave. I'm tired of all this, "OMG, why would you pay for this stupid place?" Because I fucking like it here and won't do some sort of anti-tumblr performative pantomime to seem, what? Cool? Disaffected? On fucking tumblr? The scream and reblog website?

Until tumblr heaves its last, I'm here. And I'm giving them seven bucks a month. Because giving them seven bucks a month is something I can do to hopefully keep the lights on a little longer and not have to contemplate where the fuck I'm going to be a loud, horny weirdo. I'm never going back to anything remotely like twitter; insta won't let me set a permanent "followers only" timeline; communication options on Youtube aren't meant for the kinds of interactions we have here; Dreamwidth is there and chugging along, but it's a legacy build that does NOT have the same integration options as tumblr has.

Tumblr is the only thing like tumblr. You want tumblr, fucking pay up.

Tumblr is the only thing like tumblr. You want tumblr, fucking pay up.

rb to tell prev they're being so brave right now and pat their head a little please

The YouTube channel anti-chef always adds an extra bay leaf to recipes that call for it and he says “and add another one. I’m not driving” and this has permanently altered my vocabulary.

Every time I add something extra to a recipe I say that now. Add another clove of garlic, I’m not driving. Let’s have two eggs, I’m not driving. Let’s double the chili flakes, I’m not driving.

I don't know why this keeps happening but I keep meeting toxic heterosexual couples who experiment with polyamory and are heavily into funko pops, board games, Disney princesses and Burlesque stripping and the man is always a withdrawn bearded dude and the woman is always a passive aggressive control freak with an Etsy shop that sells lawn gnomes styled after Dr Who characters and they don't really even seem to like each other but they're always exactly the same. this has happened four times
