the way tumblr is trying to distance itself from being a blogging platform is fucking. infuriating!!

like do you not know this is your strength!!! I want to be able to visit other people’s pages that have been CUSTOM MADE for their purpose!!! ARTISTS HAVE LINKS AND TAGS FOR THEIR ART!!!  COMMUNITIES AND HELP/TUTORIAL BLOGS HAVE TAGS FOR SPECIFIC QUIERIES!!! WRITERS CAN LINK ME TO THEIR STORIES!!! IT HELPS BOTH THE POSTERS AND THE CONSUMERS TO MODERATE THE EXPERIENCE TO THEIR LIKING!!!!

SENDING PEOPLE TO THAT UNSLIGHTLY “BOARD” OF A “BLOG” THAT APPEARS NOW WHEN YOU CLICK THE NAME OF THE BLOG INSTEAD OF SENDING YOU TO THE ACTUAL BLOG IS SUCH A DUMBASS MOVE? IT DOESNT EVEN ALLOW LINKS!!! I CANT DO SHIT ON THERE!!! I CANT FIND WHAT IM THERE FOR!!!! IT MAKES ME NOT WANT TO USE IT!!!!

TUMBLR IS/USED TO BE THE MOST FLEXIBLE AND THAT WAS ITS BIGGEST MERIT!!! YOU HAVE ONE OF THE BEST TAGGING SYSTEMS AND YOU WONT LET ME USE IT TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL!!! 

YOU CAN FOSTER COMMUNITIES, YOU LET PEOPLE KEEP MULTIPLE SIDE BLOGS WITHOUT HAVING TO SIGN IN WITH A DIFFERENT EMAIL, YOU ALLOW VIDEOS AND AUDIO AND +4 PHOTOS PER POST!!!! TWITTER CANT HAVE THAT!! TIKTOK CANT HAVE THAT!! REDDIT CANT HAVE THAT!!! FACEBOOK CANT HAVE THAT!!!

IM SO SICK OF THIS TWITTERIFICATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

idk if anyone else has talked about this but a trans man wheelchair user, andrew blake-newton was shot with a pellet gun in a drive-by hate crime & called a "tranny faggot." the injuries worsened his disability. i don't know if there's any ways to donate to him to help but i wanna make sure people hear about this. the link has a video of him & his husband talking about the hate crime.

He and his husband have a small business, he runs a Patreon, here's his LinkTree, the only article he says fully represents his story, his wishlist for wound care, his general wishlist, his pet wishlist, his Paypal (catandcatsnakes), and his Cashapp ($TheTransgenderTRex).

I am once again explaining that in order for walkable cities and public transit to work for disabled people, there also need to be more public bathrooms available in and around those areas. Not just places to sit down or rest. Bathrooms. We need accessible, clean bathrooms. With sharps bins. With multiple wheelchair accessible stalls. With an area to set down supplies needed to maintain one’s body. Even if it’s not being used to get rid of bodily waste, bathrooms are one of the few spaces disabled people have to maintain some sort of privacy when they’re in the middle of a flare up or they need to take medication or what have you. Designing a public space? Include bathrooms.

I think if a studio exec says they want to force you to starve to death so you’ll be made to accept garbage wages, you should crush them in a hydraulic press incredibly slowly

Like the fact that rich people have gotten to the point where they think they can just be like “oh yeah I’m literally trying to kill you” without fear of repercussions is beyond infuriating. They need to know what it feels like to be beaten to death by hammers.

when people are asked "would you rather spend 24 hours with X animal or Y animal for a million dollars" the conversation often naively pivots to discussing animal nature, with the argument for both parties amounting to "they're fine if you leave them alone". I find that this is the least engaging way to answer the question. you are not dian fossey. if you had a brush with a territorial animal in a mall and you weren't sure how hungry or agitated or tired it was, it would be a huge gamble trying to charm them into coexistence gorillas in the mist style. the most appropriate way to address the question would be asking yourself which animal is likely to end up killing you in a way that would be considered stupid but sympathetic, and which animal is likely to end up killing you in a way that is considered funny enough to be used as ytp fodder.

my mom having to regale the story of how I was bit by a highly venomous snake and suffered for hours and hours until I perished miserably: it was stupid of her to accept doing such a dangerous thing for money...but I still miss her :(

my mom having to regale the story of how I was grabbed by the ankle by a gorilla and swung back and forth against the t-mobile kiosk and the lululemon stand until I had unlocked ragdoll physics previously not thought possible: [cannot get a fucking word in because my dad is playing the clip on repeat like its americas funniest home videos]
