hello to fellow tumblypoos who may be on the lookout for places to migrate in case tumblr does implode one day but don’t know what the alternatives are like. i made accounts on 2 frequently mentioned tumblr clones, pillowfort and wafrn, and tested them as of April 2025. i hope this can be helpful!
discord is broken? tumblr is a cesspit? twitter is evil? join us on bleeble! talkr is free ^w^. all your friends are moving over to deadjournal. harassmeonline is open source and the devs only killed three people. nobodytalksforum has great moderators. poob’s starting up an sms app. use poob. give poob your phone number. talk to me on poob. go to poob. dive into poob. poob has me for you. poob has me for you.

a lot of stories end with deus ex machina in the form of “everything reached an emotional peak and that in itself was enough to resolve the situation” without any actual plot events; this is particular true for magical stories where you can plausibly swing that emotion is magic and thus feeling something really strong is sufficient to change the world in the desired direction.
The euros fail to consider the form: it’s not Johnny’s hubris that is the subject of the song. It’s the devil’s, who thinks his power is worth more than simple love for a craft
neither americans nor the modern era have any sort of monopoly on one-upping the devil. one of the oldest european folk tales is The Smith and the Devil, in which a smith makes a deal with the devil for his soul and when the devil comes to collect, the smith tricks him into leaving him alone forever. tricking that bastard is an old and storied tradition.
“average person who makes a deal with the devil is dragged to hell after 10 years” factoid actually just statistical error. average person who makes a deal with the devil uses their new hellish gifts to outwit the old bastard so they can keep both gifts and soul for the rest of their long and prosperous lives. faust, who bargained for knowledge of all things and then wasted his 10 years chasing a girl who wasn’t all that into him, is an idiot and should not have become the cornerstone of modern understanding of the trope.
sometimes you’ll see a post on the dash with a hundred something notes, and you won’t think twice about it until you scroll and realize with a sense of horror that all of those notes were from a single person, that person being your mutual, and suddenly your dash is just a single photo of a lobster for the next couple hours
bwa i’m not immutable also flatpaks are not that bad imo from a dev standpoint
as someone who uses flatpacks heavily, literally what is anon’s deal?
this anon is just wrong. Flatpaks have many benefits over traditional packages or competing package formats such as snaps or appimages.
Flatpak - sandboxes all installed packages by default. Want it to read your files? You can use flatseal to let it.
Snaps - no sandboxing, and forces auto updates, slowing down your system. This offers little to no benefit over a regular package
Appimage - these are portable applications that run on any linux system with little effort. However, they also lack any sandboxing, at least my default.
Now that we have that sorted, why use these in the first place? Stability. When you use a traditional package manager, you are messing with /bin and /usr/bin, critical directories that doing the wrong thing to can mess up your system. Sometimes an unexperienced user may mess it up by accident. Check out ltt’s linux challenge for a good example of that. These formats typically operate outside of those directories, often in userspace. Another benefit is you don’t need sudo permissions to install a flatpak. These two benefits also make these uniquely useful for immutable root distros. For the uninitiated, an immutable root distro doesn’t let you write to your root. Why would you want this? Stability. Take steamos 3 as an example. It is an immutable root distro for a handheld game console. It is configured for people who have never even heard of linux before. What better way could there be to make sure no one can break it? Another use case is for workstation distros, such as fedora silverblue. Want linux systems for your workplace without the worry of people breaking their setups even with sudo? Immutable root does this well. But then, how do you install packages? Flatpak or appimage. These function outside of root making them function in userspace even in an immutable root system.
Now, im not saying every distro should be immutable. Hell, daily driving silverblue on my laptop sucked since i had to reboot constantly. However it serves a purpose and to call it an abomination is ignorant and foolish.
anytime i say some profoundly millennial bullshit like “i don’t have baggage i have lore” God winces a little further away from me & this is how i plan to keep evading death
“Women and non-binary” poll that only lets in afabs 😔
(!?) op is a trans woman…
Hdishskdhshs I meant it as a joke about how many spaces that describe themselves as “women and non-binary” (adding non-binary to the woman poll) don’t include trans women not as a jab at you sorry
Oh, thank you for clearing that up. Unfortunately I have encountered that :(
poll 4/2
Should OP be raptured for not including nonbinary people?
The village people sang “Go West” so west is men and east is women because that’s where the women are compared to west (note: everything is east compared to west)
> go East
You go East.
As your journey stretches on, there are fewer and fewer men.
What do you do?
> go East
what the fuck did i stumble upon
this is a perfectly normal post, don’t worry about it kitten
Hi followers wanna fuck up this Trainwreck of a post even more
the reason trump demanding the EU buys american cars is ridiculous. americans out there might be used to cars like the ford F150
in some EU countries this requires a licence higher than a car to even drive due to its size but could you imagine driving this mfer around these streets
you might say oh thats a backroad, be fair well alright
the fact of the matter is these cars aren’t being bought in europe because they are just not practical to drive in most of europe. forget licencing and fuel cost aside (the cost of petrol is MUCH higher in europe than the US and they guzzle fuel)
they are just impractical for daily use
all of those above examples were for italy, which fair enough ok. let’s have a look at a much more care dependant country, like the UK
this is a fairly average street in the UK. where the HELL would you park that beast and you would struggle to get it even down the road. the EU isn’t not buying american made cars because they’re suppressing the US market, there is just little to no demand for US style cars
Ayoo just to preempt the inevitable dumb takes we’re about to start seeing;
I am PRO-WOOL
I am PRO-LEATHER
I am PRO-BEES
Fuck the idea of replacing durable, sustainable animal products with cheap, flimsy plastic that doesn’t bio-degrade. Agave nectar and other artificial sweeteners are expensive, labor-intensive, and destroy the environment to be farmed.
Do not buy into pernicious marketing campaigns pushed by dickhead organizations trying to stay relevant, like PETA.
“but the industry-”
listen there is a huge difference between an industry with problems that can be made sustainable and more humane, and an industry that cannot, given current technology, continue to the present degree without destroying our planet
Wool - Contrary to what bullshit mongers like PETA would have you believe, wool is one of the most ethical materials humans have ever worked with. Happy sheep make better wool, experienced shearers seldom nick their sheep, and older sheep produce more wool, meaning its best to keep them alive and treat them well for many years.
Leather - one cow makes SO MUCH leather. One deer makes SO MUCH leather. Well-treated leather lasts almost FOREVER. Even animals with small skins like rabbits, a pair of well oiled rabbit leather gloves will last decades. Every animal usually made into leather is also a meat animal, so it’s more sustainable to get more than one product from a single ethically butchered animal (humane kills make less punctures in the hide!) Leather can be tanned with natural resources like brains and doesn’t require treatment with chemicals that seep into the groundwater!
Cotton: Cotton is a fucking plant, it burns. The growing and harvesting of cotton is rather water intensive but it IS possible to sustainably harvest and reuse the water spent in the cleaning process to reduce the ecological footprint of the crop. It burns clean, it cuts clean, it’s sturdy, and there are 1000 ways to weave it to change its properties.
Bees & Honey: yes yes, the european honey bee is an invasive species, we know that. But honey has been cultivated by humans for just about as long as there have been humans, and they 100% choose to be cultivated. Like bees can and will leave if they’re not treated and maintained well. They understand that humans protect and clean the hives, and often become familiar with their keepers, choosing to walk on and investigate them instead of acting defensive. If animal welfare and consent are your concerns, honeybees aren’t the animals to worry about. If you, like me, are worried about native bee species, instead of creating hives you can strip an area of grass and leave an open area of clay and sandy soil to attract mason and digger bees to nest in the spring. They will happily coexist with honey bees as long as you plant the native keystone species the native bees rely on (like indian blanket flower, partridge pea, native violets in my area) as well as the high nectar plants that honeybees prefer (like roses, sunflowers, bee balm and cone flowers). Nature is actually really adaptable and accommodating of the human urge to cultivate plants and animals, and the idea that nature is ‘dead’ rather than ‘neglected’ is something that corporations want you to believe so you don’t oppose them spraying pesticides every 15 feet.
Whaght are zey doing tu zis poor rat- [gasp] zat is PERVERGHTED ! … WHAGHT ARE ZEY FILLING HIM WITZH? EE IZ GETTING TOO BIG! HOOOOHHHH…! OH MY GAHD STOP TOUCHING IM ! ZHIS IZ PERVERT BEHAVIOURE! HOOH! STOP IT! AUUW….. WHAT A TERRIBLE DEATH! SsTOP TOUCHING HEIM !

they’re called draconian laws because they were instituted by a cute dragon girl with cute lil horns and a big cute tail and an unbelievably harsh sense of justice
that pistachio completely sealed in its shell is scared and alone, like a miner trapped by rubble. you need to free it by any means necessary. get the gun from your dad’s cabinet
49. Does your lamb use substances? Are substance banned from cult grounds?
They personally adore ambrosia, so much so that either the disciples or Narinder have to make sure Lamb doesn’t over drink it whenever Barbatos manages to smuggle it into the camp.
as for any other substances, Lamb doesn’t seem too strict about what their followers do in their free time. They find death from overdosing or suffering the excess effects has thought a couple of them to be careful with what they consume better than any warning they could give.
