I haven't seen this version anywhere so I made one!

This flag is pissing off TERFs of course but i am seeing so much colorful JOY from trans lesbians and other lesbians in the notes like I've never seen a set of tags so happy before omg

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

MOON LANDING DAY IS THURSDAY!

HAPPY MOON DAY EVERYONE!!! 🌙

ref:

STOP SCROLLING THIS IS A PAINTING

the name "theresa" is so funny like. theres a what

I’m sure all you Tumblr users have heard by now about the changes being made to Tumblr’s ecosystem so that the site can make more money. And I’m sure most of you are as uneasy as I am or, in fact, are angry about the proposed changes.

The reason they need to make more money is simple: Tumblr is $30 million USD in debt.

For this site to run and for them to pay employees, the site needs to generate revenue.

This place maybe a hellsite but it’s our hellsite. We are still here because we actually like it here. Besides, the other social media sites are crashing or will crash soon. Where else would we go?

Now, I did some research. There are at least 300 million users and over 500 million blogs. One of the cheapest things to buy on the Tumblr store is the crab package you can gift to another blog, which is $3 USD.

If each and everyone of us buys a crab package, we get to keep Tumblr alive and kicking. @oracleoutlook suggested that we make a holiday of it on July 29th. It seems to have resonated with people. Others have also asked for that to extend to August 5th, as some people don’t get paid til the beginning of the month.

Many people have already agreed to celebrate July 29th as Crab Day, a day of posting crab memes and gifting crabs to other users. And if you cannot afford to buy crabs, that is a-okay! Participate in the crab memes. Who would pass up the chance to make and reblog memes about crabs, after all?

This hellsite is ours. Let us remind them of that.

Crab Day!!!

Here on Tumblr!!

Buy crabs!

As we now know, Tumblr is $30 million dollars in debt. Oops. Tumblr has announced some major (and unpopular) changes to the site in their attempt to get back above water. The alternative is that Tumblr ceases to exist. But maybe we can change that...

There are 327 million unique tumblr visits per month, and almost 500 million active accounts. If 10 million unique users (or less, if we bought more than one) bought or gifted Crabs from the Tumblr store, we could knock out Tumblr's debt easily. Buy crabs!

July 29, 2023 is Crab Day, running through August 5 (for anyone who can't log on that day) as Crab Week!

Everyone!! If you truly can't afford to participate with a $3 crab, (or other item from the shop) post crab memes!

Time for Tumblr users to rise again and surprise everyone...

you would not believe this song has been here for quite so long and that tomorrow’s its date of birth

nine years in a waking dream and now with a comeback meme the parodies spring up from all round the earth

Happy birthday

I hate when a post says “I love freaks” but then lists everyone EXCEPT the “classical” freaks: autistics / mentally ill people / kinksters / queer ppl / furries / cross dressers / what the fuck ever else they can come up with

… but absolutely NOT ppl with deformities and limb differences and face differences. we straight up do not exist to people on this site unless they’re mocking us and it fucking sucks

You're so real for this OP let's make this the REAL loving freaks post.

I LOVE YOU FREAKS!

I love you people with limb differences!

I love you people with facial differences!

Whether your differences are congenital or acquired!

I love you people with congenital bone/joint fusions!

Or surgical fusions! I love you!

I love you burn victims!

Love you heavily scarred survivors!

I love you people with dwarfism!

I love you people with Marfanoid habitus!

I love you people with gigantism!

I love you people with albinism!

I love you women with visible hormonal differences and intersex conditions!

I love you conjoined twins!

AND!

I love you no matter how many surgeries you've had!

I love you with your other comborbid health conditions since that's common here!

I love you with your comborbid intellectual disability and any neurodevelopmental delay since that's common with these too!

I love you with odd gait, limping, and use of arms for movement instead of legs!

I love PEOPLE! And we are all human beings. Even if ableism tries to tell you otherwise

happy disability pride month to those with degenerative/progressive disabilites:

-Those who know what their disability is and why its getting worse

-Those whos disability hasnt been diagnosed yet but the symptoms and degenerative nature of their illness is still taking effect

-and those who have to watch their bodies steadily decline while their healthcare professionals refuse to treat them (for no fault of their own)

-to the ones who are told they are too young to have their body declining

-'too young' to be using their mobility aids, or seeing certain specialists, or who notice they're the youngest patients in certain clinics by years if not decades

You deserve to be seen, and heard, and supported; You deserve kindness and respect and to be taken seriously about your medical concerns and the nature of your disability/ies

having a degenerative disease can be really fucking scary, I wish that tomorrow is kinder than today was.

-Those who know what their

disability is and

why its getting worse

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

brooooooooo i hate when ppl get like insanely weirdly anxious Abt interacting w other cultures Problematically and it ends up being just like "actually let's go for progressive ethnocentrism". it is literally always better to clumsily interact with ppl and culture different than you than to stay closed to the world and others

Crab Day

okay, so here's a new info post from the top.

the problem: tumblr is extremely extremely in debt. the current model is not profitable. this is why they are trying to turn the site into a shit clone of every other social media site, so they can attract new users and their money.

solution: not a ton of people can afford a long-term subscriptions like ad-free. however, many of us CAN afford $3 to inflict crabs on another unsuspecting user. (and those that can't, can still enjoy crabs everywhere)

the idea: in the grand traditions of mishapocalypses and goncharovs and tumblr users' obsession with [random inconsequential thing] Days, we create a fund drive/holiday on July 29th, dubbed Crab Day. buy your friends crabs. buy your enemies crabs. blaze posts. post memes. change ur icon. whatever. actually put your money where your mouth is and show @staff that there actually IS profit motive to listen to the current users about what we want this site to look like. (and yes, that means accessibility features too. we currently have zero leverage to demand these features. let's change that.)

i don't know if this will actually go anywhere. worst case scenario, a few of us have fun, tumblr gets a small amount of money, and nothing changes. best case though, we actually provide incentive to keep our stupid hellsite unique.

oh shit, thank you to the person who blazed this! ^^ i really hope the idea catches on, it really could be a lot of fun.

this is so fucking funny, tumblr is like "pwease we need money so so bad"

is it just me or is NASA weirdly aggressive in their article about black holes?

can a black hole destroy the earth?

no, you idiot.

black holes aren’t planet gluttons, you bitch.

and the earth isn’t some weak-ass planet that would just fall in to a black hole like a sucker.

and that dumbass sun that we’ve got isn’t big enough to make a black hole like other stars.

you fool.

This reads like an exhausted doctor explaining that no, you fucking moron, vaccines do not cause autism. 

seeing identity politics be so prevalent online is so disturbing because if a republican lawmaker was sat in a room with a trans woman, a butch lesbian, a trans man, a drag queen and a neopronoun user, they wouldnt give a shit about who was who and which person was more queer. theyd care more about keeping us all out of the general public.

I stg yall better not be reblogging this between posts about how bi lesbians tread dirt on your carpet and stole your ice cream

"I have so much homestuck on my dash" my brother in karkat you followed the homestuck blog

bro just guessed the character in homestuck meant to represent jesus christ and was correct

WHAT

here's the WIP of the first minute-ish of the dave animation <3

For the record, accidentally tapping on Tumblr live when it randomly appears every week does not count as using Tumblr live for the sake of this poll. This is only referring to purposeful use of the feature.

I'd appreciate it if people could share this for a larger sample size!
