not showing the @ for obvious reasons. But GOD is this take stupid. YES it sucks so fucking bad tumblr is probably actually dying for real this time But this: "SEE, this is why you should have accepted the dumb changes and be nice to (at time hostile to its users) staff!! Thats why there were changes to make tumblr more like other social medias!!!" This makes my blood boil. So we cant complain about how things were doing bad??? What? stfu Not to mention a social media playing catch up with others that innovated and got their boom in users for that will never succeed. I dont understand how ppl make this argument, its so stupid. that is NOT how a social media stays relevant??? Tumblr was never a money cow and it will never be. The people that bought it wanted money and nothing else. They dont care, and actually at times discourage its community focus. It would be incredibly harder to apply this model to tumblr, im aware, but to me the model that always made more sense for the site was wikipedias/AO3s. You dont need to sell shit. Just a voted in board and donations. And to be clear: I would NOT donate to tumblr in its current state. rn it is for profit and all the money it generates its to maximize it. not to make the site better for us.

sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:

thing that I already do

thing I have tried 10 times

thing I already do

thing that I don't have the money to do

thing I already do

thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail

thing that is impossible given my situation

thing that doesn't apply to me

thing that I already do

thing I have already tried

hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently

thing I have already done

if capitalism breeds innovation why is every social media company the same

What’s your take on Max’s PR? I feel like for someone who does as little PR as possible he’s been able to get build a good thing. Part is due to his winning but I also feel like he has such a strong base that follows him that it has to be one of the reasons sponsors will take him in even knowing he’s not going to be the guy posting constant content for you that he has such a loyal following already. And the craziest thing for me is that he didn’t really make an effort to get it, most had been just because of who he is and he didn’t seem to make a effort to build a following up.

max's case is kinda silly. he has been in f1 for a loong time so he went through multiple indirect PR rebrands.

we all know max does not like PR or social media, the only personal interest in social media comes from his endeavors with team redline and sim racing.

his instagram basically fullfills the criteria of what he should post but you can notice most captions have similar wording of "keep pushing" or "we need to maximize the result" etc. etc. i wouldn't be surprised if his IG was purely ran by his team and not him. there were also instances where "he" commented under his gf's posts while he was driving a car in a free practice session soo.. the evidence of him not running the account is there.

he also had a few controversial situations in his career, the abu dhabi 2021 win, or the way he was portrayed in drive to survive in the first seasons.

now, however, more people seem to grow fonder towards him. why? red bull seemed to understand in their social posts like YT/tiktoks/reels that what sells with max is authenticity and that is that max is kinda a silly guy. christian himself said that max is a completely different person in the car/outside of it. in the paddock/garage he's reserved and shy and that's in general his personality.

for example, posts where max was just himself performed REALLY well. let's look on the RBR tiktok: max doing a simple tiktok screw thread game: 47M views the duality of max as a person/driver tiktok: 3.1M views max doing cartwheel in their teammate tiktok livestream: 4.4M views sticker war with charles: 7.8M views max doing the inchident challenge: 4.9M views so yeah, max COULD BE marketable, but only if he isn't forced to do anything against his will. i would also argue that the (for many kinda unexpected) friendship with charles also gained him more public sympathy because charles fans would ask themselves -- if charles likes max, then max must be a fun guy? he also has verstappen.com which is his personal brand, it doesnt do too much, it just exists as a glorified official max fanpage. the thing he needs to work on, however, are written interviews. i dont know if the interviewers just never understand him, or they try to make him look odd but the tone of his major recent interviews never translated well (time magazine, sunday times interviews come to mind). so that's something that he would need to work on --- he's very blunt and honest and straight forward and some things he says just sound really questionable on paper.

i would personally hype up more his side quests -- there aren't many but the 24hr stream he did to raise money for mental health support could be a great thing to promote, but most people only found out about it because he overslept the padel game lol. highlighting events like these would get him, again, more public sympathy.

so yeah, overall, his PR was bad, could be better, but it's going in the right direction and RBR finally understood that max could be a great marketing asset if he just is himself.

DL Characters as College Majors/Life after highschool/Adulting experiences: 

Shu: Did not attend college, and will not. Somehow he was able to find a super boss lady girlfriend who literally takes care of him and doesnt want him working or going anywhere. Shu thinks that he's the one running things in the relationship and she will make him think that but she's pulling all the strings in the background. The only thing she wants Shu to do is take care of their dog and cat, which Shu gladly does, he is much better at taking care of animals than he ever was at taking care of other people. Smokes a lot of weed when his girlfriend isn't home, she keeps him at peace and without her he starts panicking. 

Reiji: He graduated highschool a year earlier than most, and is in his third year of pre-medical school, he successfully got his associates degree in Biology. He's also engaged to someone he doesnt even know but he has no choice but to obey his father's wishes. Doesnt go to any college parties and is not friends with anyone, however he does ass kiss the professors so that he would be able to score a good internship and letters of rec for Medical school. A few ladies in his classes think he is very attractive but he is uninterested in them and is loyal to his betrothed, having no idea what she even looks like is crazy but good for him I guess. 

Ayato: The life of the party, Literally he only went to college for the parties, his GPA was really low but he got money so he's able to pay of course. Joined a whole frat, is a huge frat bro and his major is finance. Which is crazy cause he sucks at math and anything pertaining to numbers.  He always makes class groupchats in order to get the answers for assignments and exams, thats how he's managing to get by all his classes. He's gotten roofied at a party before and is super careful with his drinks now as well as keeping a lookout for other people. He always tries to get his brothers to attend his frat parties, Laito does and once Subaru went, instantly regretted it cause Ayato made him jug like 20 beer cans back to back. He also has a huge crush on Yui but never invites her to the parties because he's scared something bad can happen to her there since there were many cases. 

Kanato: A well known art and design major, as well as minoring in historical fashions. Kanato has a huge passion for designing clothes and he was so happy he got accepted into a university that allowed him to use his creativity. He takes a lot of art related classes, his favorite is sculpting because it allows him to create sculptures out of wax, and he even got an award and his own exhibit on campus, yes he's that good. He's a part of a very quiet friend group of artists who silently create their mark on the school, the whole group is 5 girls and Kanato, crazy thing is Kanato managed to have sex with each one of them and theyre all aware as well but the convinced them in was to further their artistic view on bodies. He has a side hustle where he sells handmade bags and clothing, he's been doing very good to the point he can own his own boutique. 

Laito: He loves a good party and tries his best to attend all of Ayato's frat parties, but he does not go to college, instead he takes online courses on how to be a "health" guru, (sex guru). He's been doing good though, he's also a part-time massager for women only, he literally harassing them but they do not mind. He's also in a throuple relationship and a step father currently, but he has 3 kids from his previous relationships, yes Laito has 3 baby mamas and he's also  very active on social media trying to be a trendy influencer. He's also been in therapy for his mental health issues and past traumas, its been helping him. he tries to convince his brothers to come with him but they refuse, he never gives up. He really wants that family group therapy. 

Subaru: College did not spark his interest at all, despite the fact that he pretty much would be able to get a scholarship or be a pro-athlete. Subaru started to do boxing as a career choice, going into professional fights and winning every fight he has ever been in. His fighting name is the White Tiger. He loves to workout, and keeps a very healthy lifestyle so that one time he did go to that annoying frat party it completely messed up his flow it took him a few weeks to recover. Before he was fighting he tried using steroids to get ripped but stopped after he started feeling like shit. He has a girlfriend, and they have been together for YEARS! She's pregnant too and they have a cat together as well, they live in a nice condo and iconically he drives a subaru. 

Ruki: He's in culinary school. Honestly, he can cook very well. even Gordon Ramsey was impressed. He goes abroad quite often for competitions and for learning more about cultural dishes. He's managing an online business where he sells these goodie snacks and its international as well, Kou being famous helps promote his snack brand even more. Ruki also got married around his 3rd year in culinary school to the head chef, she literally fell in love with his cooking, however they keep their relationship a secret for obvious reasons, she's his teacher technically. He always brings his brothers back souvenirs from everywhere he goes, his favorite places so far were New York and Las Vegas, the food impressed him very much. 

Kou: He's been famous, and now he's evenm more famous thanks to Tiktok and instagram. He has a whole PR team as well and is often also traveling between Japan, California, New York, and Paris. He has a lot of modelling and brand deals as well, he's currently working on a cologne line and perfume line for women as well as male skin care. Kou has a lot of groupies and he almost married one but she was crazy and still stalks him. He has a lot of scandals as well. His nudes were leaked and a tape as well going viral on twitter and discord. He has collabed with a lot of famous singers and tiktokers. He is thinking of getting into acting if the scandals die down. 

 

Yuma: Works in the agriculture industry, but he’s not a farmer or gardener, he inspects gardens for a living and if they’re bad he will tell them how to improve it, he also works closely with importation of certain fruits and veggies. Nothing gets past Yuma, he has a big house with an even bigger garden and green house as well, he’s also gay and still big in love with Shu but respects his relationship they hang out sometimes. He’s currently working on a product to remove pesticides without harming the human body or altering the fruit/veggie. He’s been to a few gay clubs, and had some fun but likes to keep his life private and isn’t interested in a relationship right now.

Azusa: He met a very good person who was working as a therapist and she ended up becoming his girlfriend, he was never her patient but she was def helping him without even him realizing it, he's focusing on his mental health mainly and he's gotten a bunch of tattoos to cover up all his scars. He also works from home and is currently writing a book about his life, specifically the peak of his low, which was when he met his brothers in the orphanage. He has a pet kitten and he actually has 3 kids with his soon to be wife, he's also been getting into drawing and wants to illustrate children's books, and do a side hustle of tattooing. 

Carla: Works in the police force, he spends most of his time with the international forces and monitors media, he’s also working for disease control he used to be a detective however he shot someone innocent and couldn’t work the ranks anymore so he just works in internal affairs, he had a whole political campaign at one point but some women came forward with allegations against him some were true, some just hate him so they lied, safe to say he’s not getting into power any time soon, his daughter is his rock but he’s on the verge of a divorce. (I don’t like Carla)

Shin: He went to college to become a zoologist, but decided to get into the fur pelts industry instead, he works closely with fashion designers and certain colder countries , he’s been getting great trade, he also almost had a near death experience with a wolf so he no longer wants to be around animals. He practices not showering for months. (Yea I don’t like Shin)

Kino: (I def don’t like Kino) He works at a game stop.

Yui: this precious Angel Yui, goes to college for religious studies, she makes cute rosaries for all her fellow church group members/friends and they pray together, she wants to become an abbess very badly and is trying her very best in all of her classes, she does a lot of charity and fun raisers too, putting her cooking and baking skills to use, she had a crush on Ayato they shared the same pre req class but once he started partying and stuff she grew super distant from him, but still says hi to him when they see each other on campus.

if sponge bob had a tumblr he would just use it as a normal blogging platform. like hed post stuff abt his day or pictures of him at work or with patrick or whatever w captions like "another fun filled day at the krusty krab!!!" or "just went jellyfishing with my bff!!! :)" and MAYBE hed reblog mermaid man and barnacle boy gifs but thats abt it.

squidward would use tumblr the most and have an aesthetic blog where he posts his art and rbs stuff like photography or poetry or music he likes. hes also constantly making callout posts for spongebob (who he has blocked but still hatereads his blog anyway) but he has like 0 followers so nobody ever reads them.

patrick has a blank blog w the default icon and banner. most ppl just block him bc they assume hes a bot

at first glance u would think mr krabs wouldnt use tumblr but he actually has two blogs, one for promoting the krusty krab (bc he sees any form of social media as a way to make money) and also a secret sideblog where he posts a mix of either financial/wealth posts where he brags abt how much money he has AND shirtless pics of himself w captions like "who wants the secret krabby sauce 👅👅👅💦💦💦🔥🔥🔥 #dilf #bisexual #follow4follow" and it has way more followers than the krusty krab one.

plankton steals krabs's idea of using tumblr to promote his restaurant but he also has a secret sideblog of his own where he doesnt post anything but he does use it to follow mr krabs's other blog. he downloads the shirtless pics for """blackmailing reasons""" (supposedly)

sandy doesnt use tumblr bc she has a phd.

i honestly feel like i was born in the wrong era. either im too old for something or someone or im past the point of being able to achieve something. then when looking at how all these kpop groups are so young yet successful and talented just makes me question why i didnt do something like that.

we didnt have kpop in my school time but why couldnt i have just picked something and stuck with it? on top of it i believe im never going to fit anyones ideal type so whats the point in existing cause no one gonna truly get to know me.

unless i can somehow pass away before im 50 then i dont have to continue to think about all this shit and how i shouldve done better or i shouldve picked such and such a career and i shouldve tried to put myself out there more but in my age theres really nothing out there to seek when its all handed to younger generations.

and i would want to have my own success based on my own effort but have fallen short in so many ways its impossible to not find something i could do about it bc im too far behind and it does get to a point where you think that it is too late bc in order to gain any talent you have to have done it from a young age.

i dont want to rely on someone else to do it for me but i couldnt do it myself due to personal situations. yet i feel like thats an excuse cause once again all these young idols seem to be ro have something about them that makes their life a success. like yes the end inudstry is far from perfect but thats what people have been seeking themselves so it cant all be that bad all the time for them if these groups including older age groups have went out got success and even they get all the benefits of the super rich lifestyle but at the same time money doesnt bring true happiness and it seems a very shallow way they live sometimes, they have a supply and demand contract with their audiences and rely so much on social media which although i use it im not attached to it and i cant relate to obsessing over latest dance trend. i also want to stop the woe is me narrative but its really fucking hard to not feel so ashamed, behind or negative about things.

the most advice people gove is bog standard like if ur bored, go out more but its hard not to feel left out, if ur loney go find someone, if u dont have an income go get a job its literally never that simple. even in education you still have to pay for it as an adult meaning you have to already have a job but even then theres still means of you getting misjudged for your age and classmates have already done that to me before it wasnt that fun. its like saying to someone depressed to go take medicine to take away the feeling.

idk what im doing anymore besides waiting to randomly pass away so i can be done with this shite. sorry for ranting so much but idk who else to speak too bc no one else never seems to understand my frustrations with the way things have panned out.

Comparing yourself to others people archievement is the worst thing you can do. because we are all different, we all go through different shits (just like you rightfully said) and not all of us have the same opportunities presented. beating yourself up for that is a cruel thing to do wishing yourself.

It does also seem like you struggle a lot with self worth, self love and that is probably because never once someone complimented you for the things that you have achieve (to this point were you believe you havent achieved anything).

Love, hatred that you carry is a motivator, and you need to accept one thing. as long as you are breathing nothing is to late to archive, as long as you are here you should be kinder to yourself. because why are you comparing yourself to idols? I often say this here but when was it the last time you appreciated life? when was the last time you went out, stared at the ocean, at the night sky, breathed into a forest, when was the last time you felt a sense of peace? seek that out. dwelling on what we could have been is cruel hun, and not helping you in any kind <3

its okay to rant, dont worry, I hope I dont sound to harsh either, its just that I pains me seeing you guys going through so much suffering when I promise you all, darkness cannot live without light. just find your way back to it, often you dont need a big reason. sometimes the most tiny thing can be a source of happiness, seek yours !

the strawhats (at least the ones ive already met) n if they had phones

zoros phone is definitely mostly barren, nothing but the default apps that came w the phone when he brought it n maybe instagram n youtube ? but only so he can watch workout n sword training videos n to message the rest of the strawhats

zoro doesnt post on social media tho often n when he does, its usually a post work out photo n it usually blows up; has a large following due to his unintentional thirst traps

sanji prolly also downloads a minimal amount of apps, only having the food network, instagram, cooking related apps n youtube; he mainly uses instagram n youtube for cooking videos n aesthetic food pics n also for following pretty ladies n to silently gawk n nosebleed at zoros shirtless pics on ig

he also has a large following, most of them follow for food but others follow cause they simp for him

luffy almost exclusively has games on his phone w v little socials, only has instagram n tumblr to follow n message his friends, downloaded twitter at one point but got bored of it after a few hours n deleted it

he posts frequently on instagram, mostly its just random photos of his friends but he does post pictures of his brothers as well; he has a decently sized following, tho its still smaller than zoro n sanjis followings

luffy also a tumblr as i mentioned before, but he only has it follow usopp n noone else, n all his posts are just reblogs of usopps posts

usopp has the most socials in the strawhats besides nami, having a twitter, instagram, tumblr, twitch n pinterest, he also has alot of art apps such as iartbook n ibis paint

for the most part, he just sticks to posting art on all his socials, saving art related stuff n art tutorials on his pinterest n doing art streams on twitch

he might post the occasional picture/tumblr post about his friends tho, usually candid pictures or random stories about stupid stuff they did but sometimes the posts are heartwarming :)

usopp has a decent sized following n his art almost always blow up

nami has alot of socials as well, having twitch, reddit, tumblr, instagram, youtube, tiktok n twitter

she originally didnt stream on twitch, she mostly just used it to watch usopp but than she learned u could make money off twitch n started streaming, now shes a decently popular twitch streamer n is making alot of money off of twitch

she doesnt post much on other sites, only really posting the occasional stream clip n her stream vods but when she does its usually scam to get money

alot of her viewers are simps tbh, like zoros n sanjis n she has a medium to large following cause of it

chopper also has a bunch of games on his phone like luffy, but unlike luffy he has no socials other than youtube

he prolly only watches gaming n medical youtubers tbh, but is only subscribed to a handful of them

i dont have much to say about chopper ngl

What do you think Wille and Simon fight / disagree about the most post-s3? Of course assuming they always talk it out after <3

woahhh okkk sooo

class differences. like in s3 ep 2, wille still needs to learn how to exist outside of royalty, and i imagine therell be arguments over this. but a part of me also thinks, as wille plans to abdicate, simon might be softer on him? as he's no longer a prince? if that makes sense?

linking to that, maybe the usage of money

im not entirely sure how abdication works and what exactly happens to wille afterwards, but there might be disagreements about work/ jobs

disagreements abt how social media is handled (but this gets better with time)

probably disagreements abt kristina - ik she apologised at the end but that doesnt mean she wont continue to fuck up. but as wille chose something for himself at the end, i dont think these disagreements will be as bad as they could have been.

theyd disagree over small stuff like who fell for the other first, or when theyre first official date was, and when their anniversary is. the general coupley stuff hehehe !

thanks for the ask anon <3

Taylor can donate more money in secret than she would ever be able to make a difference by calling for a ceasefire not even the head of the UN could get anyone to agree to. This is nearly a hundred years of horrific politics in the making, she can't do anything about it. She's a pop star! Not an elected official. Everyone who is her fan to the point of caring about her opinion already, most likely, is anti-genocide considering she is a role model for the soft hearted. She's already a target of violence and hatred; if tumblr users can loudly want for her death then gun-wielding zionists or violent misogynistic Republicans will too. She let us know what side she's on by going to a fundraiser for Palestine. Lucy and Phoebe are her friends and there's absolutely no way they haven't talked about it and therefore donated to one of the many causes Lucy has been posting about. I think just maybe Taylor deserves for us to trust her about this.

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah i dont really know how to explain to people how taylor’s silence hurts. i dont really care abt the private conversations she’s having with friends. also, if lucy and phoebe r posting on social media and she isn’t, i hope she’s asking herself why. there’s a reason phoebe and lucy r posting abt it- because their platforms matter and they know that. i disagree that her privately donating matters more than speaking out. yes, sending money and resources to gaza is essential, but i’m also interested in a global interrogation of the western world and the harm western governments have done to billions of people globally, namely Brown and Black people. Money doesnt STOP the genocide, it just gives the people being genocided food and medicine MAYBE ?? until they probably die. i also think her asking people to donate and getting 10% of her followers to donate $10 is over 300 million dollars and there’s no way in hell do i believe she’s donating THAT much. i disagree with ultra rich people asking regular people to donate, but at this point, i’ll take anything. also sure, she went to a fundraiser, but again, sending money to a relief fund isn’t the same as taking a stance. am i supposed to pat her on the back for showing up to one event in an outfit that could feed a Palestinian for an entire year ONCE during an almost 130 day genocide? I am also so sick and tired of people talking abt her safety. i care abt her safety!!! but i dont care abt her comfort, especially when quite literally millions of palestinians are unsafe she’s also one of the richest people in the world and im not convinced that there aren’t a plethora of things she could do to keep herself safe. in the wake of advocating for what is just, what is right, and what is beyond necessary to stop the endless, brutal, vile murders of tens of thousands of Palestinian people.

it wasn't a hate speech, I wrote about it, I'm sorry that something offended you.

ok, I'm bad at writing. try again. short version - why of all social things its a transgender people? you write (I wrote same) you have no self-interest other than equality. You write about Ukraine one time, you write about Israel one time. You know what I mean?

I mean, you like Taylor - you post about Taylor a lot. You post cute gay couple a lot - because you love it. And from social - you post a lot about trans. Only trans you post a lot.. More than about women rights or bisexual people. Why? :-) You are a woman, you are young, you have your own life, friends. Why you dont speak about this.

I'm asking this because I don't know any trans people in real life (like you as I know) other than tiktok, yt. but I know people of all orientations. my governem doesnt have enough money for education and medicine. I mean that everyone simply has problems. but you write about them. I don't have a problem with them, and neither do you.

I just don’t understand why so many posts on tumblr about trans rights, especially from people who are not in the trans community at all. So yeah, the short question - why trans?

(you don't have to reblog at all about anything, but you reglog about trans. and yeah, if its a post about hp you only write on tags jkr on negative part)

hi! sorry it took me a moment to get to this, and sorry that i misunderstood your ask in the first place. it's a valid question, truly, though i'm not sure i alone am able to give you a full answer for it.

there's definitely a number of reasons as to why trans issues seem to be disproportionately represented on my blog and many others, some of those reasons are personal and some of them sociopolitical.

the first and maybe most obvious personal reason is the simple one of queer solidarity. i'm bi, i've dated women, and that makes me part of a larger group that is as diverse and colorful as it is littered with a history of prosecution. trans people are very much a part of that collective, and i want them to feel as supported as they have made me feel when i've met them at gsas and pride events and fandom spaces. while i don't relate to their issues exactly, their overall struggle against the cis heterosexual matrix still connects with me. we're all under one umbrella.

also (and maybe this is where a bit of the sociopolitics comes in) trans people are one of the most immediately and publicly threatened groups within the lgbtq+. while so many other sexualities and identities are obviously affected by current events and politics, the queer hate spread in right-wing politics these days is specifically anti-trans. i'm half american and have grown up in western europe, and the impact of this hate mongering is felt in my own communities. while i know most about us and some uk anti-trans politics, i know the sentiment is more widespread than just those places. it feels like one of the most urgent queer issues right now.

and because i am queer and because i am western, the algorithm and the news and the people i follow on social media are posting about this anti-trans rhetoric. i don't think i ever deliberately seek out trans supportive content, but it's what i see on my feed/dash, so that's what i reblog. if i saw as much disability support or ukraine support, etc., i would reblog that too.

sure, there are things that i don't reblog that i maybe should, but again, i'm not here to be an activist and i don't like reblogging content about issues i'm not fully sure/educated about. the palestine/israel issue, for instance, is so much more complex than 'trans people deserve to exist', so i'm not as comfortable hitting a quick reblog. not because i don't care about it or because it's not on my mind, but because it's not as black and white and i don't feel like a worthy informant. i talk to my friends and my parents about it, but i don't need my incomplete opinions to be posted publicly online.

and i know i keep saying this, but i'll say it again: i am not here to be an activist. there is a definitely a conversation to be had here, and maybe i should be doing more, but i also resent being made to feel like i have to weigh in on every world issue because my silly little blog about queer tv shows and taylor swift has 1k followers. i reblog what resonates with me, i reblog what i understand. i want this blog to be a happy place.

Dear god that post you reblogged is making me want to rip my skin off (not because of you).

Just repeated the same BS misinformation we've been disproving over the last few days, weeks in the comments.

' The lead actor is a proud Zionist' no he isnt, 'actor says he was fired for being pro palestine' NO HE WASN'T, HE SAID OMFD WASN'T THE SHOW HE HAD TO COMPROMISE HIS BELIEFS FOR'.

It doesnt even matter what the truth is any more. People just love being assholes online and don't want to give that up, fucking brats.

Sorry for this, you're amzing. I'm just so angry

💕 this website is both blessed and cursed

people do be making shit up on the internet unfortunately

words don't mean anything anymore. 'zionist' has become a term to throw around to describe anyone who hasn't crafted the most perfect, morally pure social media post about palestine. anyone who calls their reps and donates money to the relief effort but doesn't post about it is somehow 'condoning genocide'. it's all just become an excuse for people to bully others on the internet and pat themselves on the back for doing good activism when all they've actually done is feed their own fucking ego

I thought I should post this Tik Tok here because all of the points are valid and true. When you are posting on social media, you are reaching an audience of people who most likely dont have power and dont have a huge say in things and most likely already agree with you. We see this is a genocide. We consistently call for ceasefire.

It is easy sitting and typing this, spreading info and calling it a day. This is not enough. Your governors are not listening to you. They are not reading your emails and answering you calls. They do not care about you, the individual. It's sad but it sure as hell is the truth.

What we need to do is speak their language and the only language they seem to care about it money. Make sure these people in the government know that if they dont side with us with will not be re-elected and, more importantly, keep your word to that! Companies who are not supporting the cause should be boycotted. It'll suck not getting something you want but it is worth it for the cause! An actor doesnt agree with ceasefire? Boycott their movies. It wont hurt them individually, but it will hurt the movies thus leading to them being appointed to less roles due to profits.

Protest! I mean go to the streets and protest! It's scary, it's going to be scary but we have to do it. Remember to hide your identity when protesting too. The mass group of people inflicting the day to day of companies and people in power will show.

If you want an animated movie, don't buy Disney, find something indie (it seems to be better quality anyway), if you want Starbucks, go to a local coffee shop instead. If you need electronics, do research and find a company that's better than Samsung or Apple. I am not telling you to give up everything for this (although we should be willing to) but take the effort to do something else!

Companies listen to money, not us. Use that agaisnt them. Move past the education phase. We already are educated. Let's start actually have some action.

i hope you get kidnapped and raped until your uterus falls out tranny

okaaaaay so yeah this isnt very fun anymore uhm I dont respond to anon hate and I never will even really react to it but this is kind of different uhmmm

you've been sending me nonstop threats and stuff for like a week or two and im only responding now because I'd like to ask you to stop sending stuff like that to people, not because it hurts others (since duh, thats your goal) but because it will hurt you in the longrun

I know that you think this is anonymous and that I could never find out who you are, but thats not true, there isnt such a thing as true 100% anonimity on the internet, all of the asks you make do get traced back to you, even if you sent them as an anon

Ive decided to find out who you are because I began to suspect that you are a stalker i had in the past, and it wasnt hard to do because they are many ways to find out who an anon on tumblr is, I did find your account

now, im not gonna link your account anywhere because even thought you've been unkind to me doesnt mean I want you to get punished for it considering the fact that youre really young

another reason why I wont share your account is because you have the same username on most social medias, ive managed to find your instagram that way, and your instagram has your full legal name as well as school address there, not only that but youre also following your family members, as well as Boris, your boyfriend, who seems to be a strong activist against transphobia considering the fact that he hosted a whole charity event to gather money to donate to translifeline, which is ironic since you keep sending me transphobic slurs and insults towards the fact that im transgender

now, im not saying this to threaten you, I do not want to doxx you or to expose you, nor will i ever do that even if you do keep harrassing me, but ill have you know that its very very easy to find your info and the next person you treat like this might not want to go the peaceful way and either dox you or contact your friend and family about what you have been doing,

I know you dont care that youre hurting people, so that wont convince you to stop, but maybe the fact that you are risking your own safety and future just to send a few empty threats to a tumblr user over a headcanon is kind of dumb

again, this isnt a threat, but keep in mind that all of this info i found out in literally 13 minutes with the help of nothing but google and tumblr, it wasnt hard, and it wasnt complicated, the stuff you have said to me could ruin your social life as well as any future job opportunity if it comes out sooo pls stop

yknow something ive been on social media for a long time, and starting from like 2014 if i was comfortable in front of a camera i could have a modest ig or youtube following and if i was either better connected or more openly attention-seeking i could have a modest twitter following and ALL OF THOSE THINGS could have translated into like, minimally, a modestly lucrative side hustle, or some connections, or something to put on a resume. but no. ive been on here. i gained a couple thousand followers over a slow enough timeline that i never got chased off. i embedded myself in a clique durable enough to last, insular enough to protect me from larger discourse but not so insular i didnt know what was going on outside. my posts have moderate reach and interaction. and it has gotten me NOTHING!!!!!! not a thing!!!!!! nothing i can TALK about in real life even!!!!! you ever try telling someone have a big post on tumblr? (not even to brag, this is not worth bragging about, just to mention a wacko take that was imposed on you or smth) its not only humiliating but it doesnt even really make sense most of the time!!!!! what did i get for my agonies? oh "lifelong friends," oh "thoughtful, fascinating people i share my deepest feelings with, who support my art and who eventually welcome me into their homes and introduce me to their cats and take me to concerts and hole-in-the-wall burrito joints and beautiful peaks overlooking the salish sea where you can see the flash of a seal's fin in the fading sunset" what if i want money!!!!!! what if i want CASH!!!!!!!!!! fuck this website

I love esports more than most, but it is genuinely fucking hilarious that it is like, the only thing less profitable than running a social media website. Sure, you can sell merch and whatever but the amount of money that goes into the salaries and marketing doesnt even break even, and skimming money from sub or ad revenue doesn't cut it either because the franchising deals (if the game has it) usually are way too expensive to be worth it.

Assume a team has at least 8 staff and they're paid 45k, how do you even make that much money when the services provided Genereally aren't making that scale of money and then there's the issue of prize splitting as well.
