it is insane how fucking tiny these buttons are did they not like. consider the concept of UI scaling like at all. did they not consider what theyd do if someone had a big monitor. what is this shit

why asre there two post buttons. why do i get little numbers next to 'home' and 'following' when btoh are giving me the exact same information. why is it that when you open the account view you have the exact same information on both sides of your screen. why is it that the activity popup obscuires the dashboard now instead of the 1000000 miles of empty space on my god damn desktop. did they not consider the concept of UI scaling at all?????

when i first saw people p[ostp about this i thought maybe they were overreacting because they hate twitter and change but like. whatever you think abotu the concept of 'putting all this shit on the left side of your screen' as a bold UI innovation or whatever in concept this shit is like. just straight up unfinished. like i legitimately dont understand how this was considered ready to roll out to users

why does the activity popup open on the ONE part of my screen i DONT want to be obscured when im using tumblr dot com!!

no seriously why is this information displayed twice one inch apart. im not being snarky when i say this genuinely just seems actually unfinished

dont talk to me or my three (3) 'activity' buttons that show up when you're already on the activity page ever again

neurotypicallity be damned that girl will not shut the fuck up about those silly ass rock bands

hello babies; i’ve been very inactive the past like year ish, but in short my life went flying off the rails back in august after getting SAed. i developed ptsd from said event. i went into my internship and i ended up unexpectedly having to do a full classroom takeover during the last few months of my student teaching, so i was teaching full time, alone and with little to no staff support, at a rural bigoted school as an out lesbian. almost had a psychotic break. graduated with my bachelor’s in education with summa cum laude, dean’s list every single semester, and have decided i absolutely cannot go into a teaching job. so i’m working my retail job still.

i’m trying to find something full time that isn’t the job i’m at now because it’s really bad and i’ve been put into so many bad situations, including my manager telling new hires that i’m lesbian. i am trying to find something work from home and full time. i need to get out of my current living situation. my goal is to do so and begin therapy. i want to heal from what happened to me in august and i want to be able to learn how to live with flashbacks. i’ve dealt with trauma my entire life, but i’ve never dealt with textbook ptsd symptoms like flashbacks and memory loss and they’re extremely scary. i want to get out of where i live now and feel some control over my life after i lost so much of it.

i was wondering if anyone knew of any specific work from home places hiring that might be good to look into. or if anyone had any kind of advice anyone has for a directionless 22 year old who’s seriously at this point just trying to avoid getting hospitalized (bc i can’t afford it but my mental health is so fragile i’m so scared of a spiral i can’t get out of) or giving up on my life completely. i’m at a very low point. i just wanna know if anyone has any advice to offer on crawling out of it. or maybe any kind of direction lmao.

and my ko fi is in my pinned post, but there is never ever any pressure.

i just need some hope things are gonna get better. love and miss everyone here. 🩵💙

People don't like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn't be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they're basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.

Like it's just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like "we're using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can" and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.

Actually, I realized my real point here: we all need to make our art weirder. Please make weird art. I want more stuff like Prequel Adventure and 17776 and MyHouse.wad and I want it now. Capitalism thrives on conformity. We must be weird at all costs.

my first word was dada. yes like the art movement i was a precocious child

why is it always The Machine VERSUS The Flesh. why can't they be yuri. or yaoi. or whatever.

Unfriendly reminder that all you idiots being like "yeah just pirate media now, fuck corporations!" posting links and just openly telling people where to download pirated media are why it's so hard to find safe, working sites for it anymore.

I've been doing this shit for over 20 years and the availability has gone down as it's become more mainstream. The more you publicly talk about all these sites the less there are. Shut up. Tell people in private or don't tell them at all.

The final word in infiltration technology

Isn’t this what Snake from Metal Gear Solid does?

this is so funny. ducklings from wish.

the boys (yeehaw version)

Evidently landlord and lawyer were some rough slander 250 years ago, maybe we still have some things in common with the founding fathers

my favorite thing about this movie is that it pissed off Nixon so badly (by having a song about how conservatives are obstructionist) that he tried to not only have the song cut but also get the negatives for that scene destroyed and they only added the song back in decades later

it’s on YouTube now though! So you can watch the musical number that made Nixon do a whiny baby tantrum!

shout out to the film’s editor who back in the 1970’s completely hid the negatives for that scene for decades allowing us to have it restored for the 2002 re-release

hey instead of bullying or scaring you into switching to firefox, let me tell you why i LOVE firefox and how my online life has improved significantly since installing it

- the setup process is easy, and even fun! if you’re using tumblr rn, you can handle it, and if you’re the kind of tumblr user who likes customizing your blog or tinkering with xkit, you can have a lot of fun personalizing really granular settings and picking themes and extensions and everything, it’s very customizable and i happily spent like 2 hours getting everything perfect.

- you can use a command line entry tool to change specific settings right from the search bar! i did this to make firefox stop auto filling my email information since i use a different password locker (which you should too! try bitwarden!), and it was easier than digging through a bunch of submenus for a setting i wasn’t sure existed. you can just turn shit off!

- there’s a preset theme called aurora that’s purple and VERY pretty

- once you get ublock origin and as many other blockers as you’d like set up, no ads, anywhere, ever! streaming sites, youtube, all the basics, totally no stress and no compatibility issues for me

- in browser screenshot and picture in picture functions!! holy shit i use these every day, the PiP is especially helpful, it replaced an extension i used to use on chrome and it’s leagues better and works on all video content pretty much

- overall better downloads management imo, it’s a lot easier to get to your downloads and find them later

- better bookmark system, with the ability to organize your bookmarks with searchable tags and assign them a shortcut you can type into the search bar to go to

- containers! you can have two accounts to the same website open in two different tabs and switch between them without having to switch accounts. also gives firefox the ability to contain facebook and their trackers, so you can click that party invite link without feeling like you just let mark zuckerberg into your house

these were just off the top of my head, i love firefox a lot and actively enjoy using it, which i never felt with chrome! please download firefox!! you will not regret it!!! where’s your fucking rage!!!!!! go!!!!!!!!!

adding on my extensions starter pack! these are BASICS, there is a whole wide beautiful world of extensions that do useful and silly things. i can save a page im looking at to the wayback machine w a right click! (here)

and if you read through this whole list and still somehow havent yet

>> DOWNLOAD FIREFOX <<

still fuming over the teacher I worked with who was fired for posting a photo of her and her husband (who were in their 50s) sharing a bottle of wine and captioning it ‘it was just one of those days’ on her PRIVATE facebook page bc a parent took offense. believe it or not, teachers are real people with real lives outside of your children, and if I wanna club or drink or suck and fuck or go to pride or hell, talk openly abt my job then I should be able to. i should have the right to exist outside the classroom. I am more than just your child’s keeper
