i love wikipedia and i think it is good and right to give them money but all their funding drive messages are “well… we’ll be killing ourselves tonight. we asked so little of you and yet it seems that simply nobody cares about lil ol wikipedia anymore….sad…”

I'm cursing my followers with this one, bestie

Hey friends 🫂

Be nice with staff today, folks

Ok I wasn't planning to share anything about this because I was waiting for any official comms, but I'm seeing people from outside of Automattic sharing this screenshot in a WordPress-related public discord server, so I guess the cat is out of the bag:

TLDR: most of the current staff is being moved to other automattic divisions and Tumblr will be run by an skeleton crew

hi everyone!

if you've never paid attention to one of my posts, start now.

or you can look at the reblog before from @dualumina

i work in technology, specifically surrounding supporting enterprise software.

this is bad.

this is death knell bad.

this is "end of life" for a product bad.

tumblr has basically said: this website is not a revenue vehicle, and thus, it may perish naturally. we won't pull support from it. we won't force people to move off of projects surrounding it. but we will do the bare minimum moving forward to maintain it's existence and one day, when no one else wants to take responsibility for the decaying infrastructure and literally endless backlog of defects and code rewrites, the website will sunset.

you should start building a different online community today if you want one. there are options. or, hell, if you're savvy enough, you could start your own and open source it.

but you should start building a different, queer, inclusive online community yesterday if you want one.

anyone who's more of a hater than me is a mentally disturbed freak who deserves to be put down and anyone who's less of a hater than me is a naive moron who will be eaten alive by the wolves. anyone who's as much of a hater as me is my lover

McDonald's is giving out free fries.

Disney is giving out Disney100 cards.

Starbucks is giving out buy one get one frees.

Why? Because their stock prices are falling.

They are losing money because of the boycotts because we are not giving them more money to fund and support the genocide of Palestine.

They're scared.

So they're gonna do whatever they can to get that money.

Keep it up.

Make them cry.

We may not be able to get them all, but the ones we get oh they are gonna suffer.

"Why? Because their stock prices are falling."

They really aren't.

Disney had a dip, but McDonalds has been up over the past month and Starbucks was pretty even through October and has been up over the past week.

Meanwhile, companies do promotions through the year because. It's not all because of a poorly organized internet boycott.

If you want to have an impact with your boycott, you really need to listen to people who have been working on this for a while. Like BDS targeting companies actively working with Israeli security. Don't just listen to posts telling you misinformation that's easy to believe and agree with.

My longhouse is perfectly constructed. Every morning when I wake up in bed at the far end of my longhouse, I say my syllable. Then I spend all day sitting in bed. By sunset my syllable has traveled to the other end of my longhouse and back, and as it smacks me in the head, I fall asleep. My longhouse is perfectly constructed.

i am often broadly pretty negative / cynical about the impact of the internet on society but i do have to say that there is something very good to be said about how deeply it undermines the ability of the bourgeoisie to control media narratives in the way they could since basically the beginning of mass communications

like you can see in real time all the pro-israel lines that broadly worked on a population who only had access to corporate TV news completely crumple up and fail against actual footage of what is happening in gaza and what israeli officials are saying on live TV

"israel is just defending itself" doesn't cut it anymore when you can go on twitter or tiktok or telegram and see palestinian children being pulled from under rubble and netanyahu and ben-gvir going on television to say "this is totally a genocide and we love genocide and bombing civilians"
