I went on snopes and like, yeah no this was genuinely published in 1997, somehow

@staff I absolutely fucking hate snoozing tumblrlive every 7 days and it negatively impacts my user experience and pisses me off every time.

the last two times i snoozed it it didn't actually go away either

It really adds insult to injury that every time the damn thing pops back up I go into my dashboard settings and "snooze tumblr live" is still toggled on. Like a little testament to my futile wishes and how this isn't how display preferences are meant to work. So I have to turn it OFF, which refreshes the page, then scroll all the way back down and turn it on AGAIN.

And why did the value plummet, Marissa? Why did it plummet?

Would like to know how exactly she wouldn't fuck up Netflix or Hulu

Yahoo thought Tumblr would be the next PDF

What does that even mean? PDF as in Portable Document Format?

i cannot stress enough that i dont think yahoo even knew what a pdf was

people act like Pluto was dealt a bad hand bc they thought it was a planet but later classified it as a dwarf but consider this: there are 4 other dwarf planets in the solar system that most people don’t even know the names of so Think Again before you think Pluto is underrepresented

look. look at these precious forgotten siblings

Good news there are more now and one of them is called gonggong

apparently they’re all still named after gods, but not exclusively Greek or Roman ones?

Pluto, Orcus and Ceres is Roman, and Eris is Greek, but:

For anyone who needs it. Use in good health.

all of tumblr: we fucking hate bots

also tumblr:

Hey, I LOVE bots when they’re just here to play with us. COMMERCIAL bots suck.

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

NO FUCKIN WAY

Vivaldi on his deathbed in 1741: please, put it into my will that the first movement of my Spring concerto can only be used to indicate fancy settings in cartoons or as hold music for the absolute worst call centres.

Vivaldi's lawyer: Antonio what the FUCK does this mean

are you a “filters tags from my mutual’s new obsession” Tumblr user or are you a “learns about their new obsession (semi-forcefully) by osmosis” Tumblr user

there is a correct answer

#i would never filter the tags from your obsession without first learning enough by osmosis to determine that i cannot fucking stand it (via @unopenablebox​)

unironically people need to learn to say “they haven’t done anything wrong i just find them annoying”

I personally think people need to understand that if someone hasn’t wronged you or anyone else, you should NOT dislike them. You don’t have to like them; just remain neutral.

nope! this is the kind of attitude the leads to you picking apart every little thing a person does digging through their past for dirt and problematizing everything about them, exaggerating harm, assuming the worst about them, putting words in their mouth, etc, to justify the fact that you simply don’t vibe with them when the truth is that you will not get along with everybody you meet in life and it’s extremely possible to be civil to someone you don’t like. you don’t have to be friends with everybody its fine. it’s certainly nicer than falsely accusing them of some heinous shit rather than admit that you’re not some Disney princess who’s never had an unfairly mean thought in her life and loves everybody and sings with little birdies and is never bitchy or irritable. sometimes you get annoyed for stupid reasons and understanding that your personal feelings about a person aren’t necessarily related to their morals or worthiness as a human being is the first step to being a civil adult.

Honestly we really need to stop being weird about older adults who are virgins.

& not even purely in a "I'm sex repulsed &/or ace &/or not into the idea of so I willingly didn't have it" but also in a "I'm 80, I would've loved to have sex, but it takes two to tango & no one wanted to have sex w/ me-" and in a "I'm 60 & I wanted to, but I had anxiety so bad I just didn't put myself in a situation where I could've" way, etc. [But yes also the people who are like "I'm a virgin because I never wanted to have sex"]

Someone made a post about having their 40th birthday & still being a virgin & someone commented about how it was heartbreaking... [The OP talked about all their other achievements they reached & how they were happy - just never had sex btw. They weren't lamenting about how they never had sex]

You don't need sex/sexual intimacy to be happy. You don't need romantic intimacy to be happy. [Obviously having those may add happiness, but like you won't live a sad depressing empty life if you're single forever &/or never have sex]
