imagine living in ponyville and it’s nice and quiet and then some purple cunt moves in and shit starts happening every week and raising ur property value
You ever hear that old chestnut about how most people neglect the part of the story of Icarus where he also had to avoid flying too low, lest the spray of the sea soak his feathers and cause him to fall and drown?
You ever think about how different the world would be if Icarus died that way instead? If the idiom was to Fly To Close To The Sea? A warning against playing it far too safe, about not stretching your wings and soaring properly?
You ever think about how Icarus died because he was happy?
my mom purposely overpaid her credit card bill by 1 cent so every month they send her a letter that says they owe her 1 cent and it costs them a dollar to send the letter plus the paper. she is costing corporations money 👍
Yes, but the added environmental cost of mailing a paper letter…
do you think they cut down a whole tree because my mom overpaid one cent. do you think they make one new piece of paper every time they need one
But trucks have to move that paper!
are you not aware that those trucks would be going either way. they aren’t taking another trip for one envelope
hello my name is billy postman, operator of the world’s smallest and most environmentally harmful mail truck. it is one envelope big and requires thirty seven gallons of fuel to go one mile. (I personally am about one and a half envelopes big) my beloved truck is very slow and very loud and I hate both flora and fauna so so so much. I love corporations though
what do you mean you’re tagging my post with “shitpost.” that was craftsmanship. van gogh wasn’t doodling. michelangelo didn’t work with playdoh. it’s like calling the lord jesus’s carpentry whittling
Tumblr will not die, but this post is Wafrn propaganda
I dont think tumblr will shut down. It may go the “twitter way”, it may get worse service, worse moderation (EVEN WORSE YES), and worse support and worse performance.
But it wont suddenly shut down forever. Outages will be longer and more frequent but thats it.
Now, the wafrn propaganda I promised: if you care about a social media that doesn’t overtarget the baning of trans people, you should give wafrn a try.
A website inspired by tumblr, that connects with mastodon and bluesky (ok mastodon, fedi etc but you get it)
It allows custom CSS themes, asks, and lots of stuff.
You can do more than like a post, you can EMOJIREACT to it!
An important bit, since it connects with mastodon and bluesky, you can follow other people you know from tumblr. I will keep this linked post updated
We also have a phone app in beta, both for iphone and android wich you can download here
Registrations are manualy reviewed by the small modteam. Depending on the timezone it can take a few minutes or 12 hours. For safety reasons we do not allow registrations with VPNs (they get abused for accounts dedicated to harrasment and other stuff that I will not disclose for your mental health).
How do we plan to host everyone without money? THATS THE NEAT PART, WE DONT! If for any reason you dislike how we handle stuff, you can always host your own wafrn for you and your friends (we are working on the documentation, this is after all a hobby project atm). You can host your own wafrn and still connect with people at bluesky, mastodon and our wafrn server :D
phineas and ferb episode that is rated pg13 so they are allowed one f-bomb. candace keeps trying to find the perfect situation to use it but every time she tries she gets interrupted or drowned out by a comically loud horn. meanwhile doofenshmirtz has made the censor-inator because now that they’re pg13 he’s convinced that vanessa doesnt know any swear words (she knows all of them) and that she’ll explode if she hears someone say “shit” so he wants to make the entire tri-state area child-friendly. he flies it over danville in his official blimp and a one-off joke is that his laser hits a rated r movie that’s a clear parody of the human centipede or someshit and it turns into a barney-the-dinosaur-ass psa. at the last second perry destroys the inator and knocks it out of the blimp and it fires off one more laser that censors out phineas and ferb’s invention before mom can get home. candace tries to finally drop her one-allowed cuss but her voice has given out. perry comes back and makes a little platypus noise (all of those have been swear words the whole time but because nobody speaks platypus nobody notices) and then part of doof’s machine crashes into the house (candace is in charge) and ferb says “what the fuck”
every time someone says “look how they’re looking at each other! they’re in love!” about a non-canon ship i just think of the kuleshov effect for a second but then i come to my senses and decide to have fun
ok i’m going to explain the kuleshov effect because im a film student and its fascinating to me. basically its the principle of film storytelling that states that you can juxtapose a blank expression with an image and the audience will read a different emotion from the expression depending on the juxtaposed image. its incredibly interesting to me.
Have you ever looked at a 24 hour clock and gone “too straight forward!”? Ever looked at a 12 hour clock and thought “what if we divided it again?” WELL FEAR NOT, I am pioneering the 6 hour clock; featuring the classic times we all know and love like 3pm and 7am as well as all new times such as 6aam and 8ppm! The new clock layout that solves nothing and makes everything worse!
i love mlm ships because it’s always like here is objectively every straight girl’s wet dream and here is the absolute fucking weirdo he’s obsessed with
I am a grown ass adult and I still get nausea when I feel like I’m in trouble. They’re gonna send me to the principals office and take away my toys for a week. Can you just fucking kill me instead of making me stew in my fucking anxiety
Leelah Alcorn was a trans girl, a teenager, who sadly committed suicide nearly 10 years ago. I’m happy that her comic touches the hearts of so many people, years after her death.
I saved screenshots of her blog and last message to the world. Her parents had a lot of control over how she was perceived after her death, but it was also to prevent deletion by Tumblr itself. Even back then, Tumblr has been shadow banning trans women on this platform.
My heart goes out to all trans women who are struggling with society’s expectations of who they are supposed to be and who they are allowed to be. May you find peace, growth, and respite from whatever you’re going through. You deserve happiness, most of all. Thank you for living, thank you for being here with us.
being american w ethnic origins during this time is crazy (esp if you’re ethnically arab) bc you genuinely get the vibe that americans who don’t hail from multicultural backgrounds (typically white people) do truly think that the us is basically The World. they have no concept of actual societies, civilizations, just actual human beings existing outside of it. and that is both devastating and embarrassing
literally just saw a post by some girl that went “why should i care what’s going on in a third world country” referring to palestine. and to that i say. you are actually the bane of humanity in general. not even society—literally humanity. you are the problem. you are the pathogen. you are genuinely the disease
People on this post being like, “It’s because Americans never leave their country” babygirl have I ever got news for you about the rest of the world
There IS better autism research they could be doing, like trying to discover other medications that help with sensory issues and quality of life problems and trying to get better childhood diagnosis rates for autistic girls. But no, the decades long useless search to find out what causes autism and how to eliminate it continues. The push for “autism research” is never really about how to make things better for autistic people, it’s about how to make autistic people stop existing and that is nottttt possible. But they’ll continue to fixate on it.
My coworker asked me a question about Queer culture the other day and it was a really good question but I couldn’t think of a polite way to tell them that they didn’t have the foundational knowledge required to support full comprehension of the answer
Coworker: So why do some people say they’re bisexual and other people say they’re pansexual? They sound like the same thing
Me: Do you want the real answer or the answer that will make sense to you
