openin requests again

yeah this week is like gonna be chill and i have a lot of free time so

Ask

the amount of ways we have to qualify the geoncide in gaza in order to get people to care is actually sickening to me. “it’s a feminist issue!” “it’s a disabilities issue!” “it’s an environmental issue!” like i’m sorry but even if this was happening solely to able bodied men and was causing no harm to the environment, it would still be wrong because it’s a genocide and these people are being bombed and killed and starved every fucking day. you shouldn’t need an extra label to give you a reason to care about people that are dying.

The scene where the brides of Dracula almost bite Jonathan is probably the hottest thing I’ve ever read and I will die right here on this hill

it should be illegal to not say how much your app or product costs up front

Aplatonic culture is…

Spending a lot of time in trouble as a kid because you’d tell people you didn’t want to be their friend, and apparently that isn’t very nice, even though you didn’t mean it to be mean, it’s just how you felt

Being sent to counselors because you were always alone and said you didn’t want any friends/you didn’t need friends/you didn’t like people/there were more important things

Kids thinking you were stuck up and mean because you weren’t friendly

Never making a friend on your own, and just being taken in by people who decided they wanted to be your friend/meeting people through your friends (the ones you befriended because they decided you were friends now, not because you had a desire to befriend them)

Never meeting a person and wanting to be friends with them

Being alone and being okay with that because you don’t feel the need to have friends

Having friends that you enjoy being around, but not missing them much when you’re away

“Friend is a strong word”

“I suppose we’re friends”

“this fic was good except for…” “this would have been great but…”

some of y’all need to learn how to give better constructive criticism and it shows. so here’s a quick rundown.

Give a positive statement. “I really liked how you did X.”

Then — without detracting from the first statement, and only if the author has signaled that they are open to criticism and advice — give your second, unrelated point.

Critical point:

“I noticed how you did Y. That felt a little out of character to me because of Z reason.”

And, finally, follow up with a broad summary:

“Overall, I really liked this, thank you for writing!”

Fan communities got worse when people decided their headcanons needed to be validated by creators.

in reference to my latest ask..

I love that all the Zionist fascists think they’re dunking on us by saying “oh you love Palestinians so much? What if they all immigrated to your country? How would you feel then?”.

I’d feel great actually. I love immigrants <3

Can the balanced dog trainers please stop fucking talking about positive reinforcement as if those dogs are not “obedience trained”? A majority of competition obedience dogs I know were trained with R+. Letting your dog wander on the end of a line because you want to do so does not = untrained. It is simply…a choice.

just so y’all know. if you’re not the target audience for a story, or you don’t identify with the reader described in a story, but you’re friends with the author or simply enjoy the story and how it’s written…you’re allowed to reblog it and interact with it. you’re allowed to spread its reach. gatekeeping has its uses but for fan-made things let’s stop doing that. who is that helping??

PSA: if you’re still holding a grudge against ANYONE for something they did even 6 months ago AND APOLOGIZED FOR + CHANGED THEIR WAYS SINCE THEN, i do not wish to associate with you. this includes celebs/public figures (btw why are you holding so much anger towards some person you don’t even know personally lol are you ok?)

this especially applies if you actively post hate about them. maybe put your energy somewhere more useful

edit: ofc there are evils that make all of this invalid (m*rder, s/a etc.) anything of that calliber is obviously irredeemable. if they’ve done something like that and you support them gtfo please and thank you. (and i mean things that have actually been proven to be true. rumors do not count. if you don’t have proof of whether or not it actually happened, don’t assume. think with your brain, not your immediate reactions.)

You’re totally right Tumblr doesn’t manage the for you section. But this is so fucked up

Typically when things like this happen on here it is because the post (and person) were mass-reported.

Reminder that my original owlvid blog was deleted because of fatphobic weirdos spam-reporting my blog when I was making posts about BMI being made by eugenicists who wanted to make Americans look more physically imposing to other countries and that many people classified as “morbidly obese” by the scale do not have high enough levels of body fat to actually impact their health, and that BMI and similar “ideal weight” metrics don’t take the weight of muscle into account and the weight loss trend has caused millions of people to develop eating disorders throughout the years.

A video like the one posted in the link you provided is going to be controversial because zionists won’t like it and the wording used in the video is unfortunately very easy to make look antisemitic. The section of the video where the speaker started saying “this percentage of Jews think they’re smarter and better than everyone” or whatever does align dangerously with a lot of antisemitic beliefs, so because he didn’t continue to say Israelis or Israeli Jews to speak against this nationalistic culture, it makes it extremely simple for zionists to point to that and spin the entire video as being lies and antisemitic propaganda. That leads to mass-reports against it.

I don’t doubt staff has Zionist sympathizers among them simply because staff is largely if not exclusively American and it is very difficult for people in this country to access accurate information about the Israel Palestine conflict because the government sponsors so much propaganda supporting Israel and against Arabs and Muslims in general, leading to a large amount of Americans drinking the koolaid and believing Israel to be justified. However, there is also a good chance that this person and the post were mass-reported and taken down automatically because staff doesn’t always back-check to ensure someone or their posts were actually dangerous if they reach a certain threshold of reports they just terminate everything.

arguably the best piece of merch coming out of the xmas collab are the christmas ornaments with a surprise lmao

What an excellent user experience tumblr has become.

Yes, this is an actual, unedited screencap.

It’s even worse on Safari when the address bar is visible.

I will stop using this site before I start using the app.

I already pay for ad-free. I should not have to see tumblr live taking up valuable screen real estate, and my ace ass does NOT appreciate those ladies jump scaring me every week with their “sexy” faces.
