My favourite thing about the latest Twitter meltdown is all the artists reanimating their dead Tumblr accounts today and immediately being greeted with hundreds of notes because even a Tumblr account they literally have not posted to in 3–5 years has more active and engaged followers than the Twitter account that they've been updating daily.
i think it’s p awesome that the first compasses invented in china were not magnetic, but in fact mechanical - the cart with the little wooden man pointing south was built in a way that no matter which way the cart turned, the little man would always point south
this is a model of what it looked like
how does this work? it’s so cool and confusing
the gears are aligned in a way to always turn the little man in the opposite direction as the cart at the same rate of rotation. so if the man points at you, and you turn the cart clockwise 90 degrees, the man will be turned counterclockwise 90 degrees, and still be facing you. if you turn the cart counterclockwise 90 degrees, the man will be turned clockwise 90 degrees, and still be facing you
as for how they got the cart to point south to begin with, that goes into fengshui and cardinal direction geomancy. but long story short, the workshops that built these carts would have their front doors facing south to begin with (using the sun and the stars to figure out which way is south), so all they would have to do is build the cart facing that direction, and the little man will always point south
thank you!
I get why someone would argue for the science gone wrong angle - no one expected the dinosaurs to spontaneously swap genders (Trans Dinos are the OG transfolks) but, I want to be very very clear - capitalism was ALWAYS the problem.
The scientists would have figured out the breeding issue before too long and found a way to deal with it (probably in a horrific manner, but they could have handled it) however, the thing that really messed up the park?
Dennis Nedry’s shit salary. Because despite the phrase “Spare-no-expense” being thrown around like candy in that movie, no one thought to give the guy who single handedly wrote the software that controlled the entire park a raise when he asked for one? Seriously? You have one guy building out the controls for your billion-dollar Dino park and you’re like, eh? No RaIsEs you little bitch.
Yeah, that tracks, that’s a capitalism problem, not a science problem.
really annoying to spend all of july every year seeing physically disabled people, usually with diagnoses fuckin talking about how the girlies with anxiety take attention away from the realllllll disabilities and it sucks and is annoying soo
real quick shout out to my mentally disabled girlies (gender neutral) who can't get a diagnosis either way.
to my girlies who know something is wrong but can't convince a psych or a GP to do shit about fuck.
to my girlies with mysteriously rotating symptoms that are consistently debilitating, even when they're different.
and of course to my girlies who live every day monitoring their entire mental state in an effort to prevent whatever trigger it is that makes their brain lock their body.
to literally everyone who cannot divorce their physical debilitations from their mental, to who the concept of psychosomatic has become a mantra for scaring off mystery symptoms, and to everyone who got a little bit too afraid yesterday and now your guts are clearing themselves out like you have salmonella:
you're cool, you're sexy, you're capable of so much, even if you are currently lying on the floor and crying because you don't know why you can't move, you were just moving 10 minutes ago! why not anymore!
You're great and this isn't a condition that has to be cured or removed before you can have a fulfilling life. Meet yourself where you're at and be kind.
Tumblr, buddy, listen to me. This is an unprecedented opportunity. You can snap up all of the pie here, and become defacto internet goodguy easy. All you gotta do is... drop the nsfw ban. Unambiguously. Announce that dicks are back on the menu. You want people subscribed the blogs? You want people to actually use your Post+ function? Porn. Let us use it for porn. The youngins aren't joining this site anyway, you're not competing with tiktok. The vaguely horny 20-40 demographic though? You can have that. You can have all of that. Think about it.
Do you know how many pinup artists alone are itching to come back to tumblr, but dont because of the unclear, seemingly arbitrary application of your nsfw policy? These are insanely talented people who are practically begging to give you content. For free. But you gotta change the policy. We can't keep dancing around this. Just think of publicity. The drama. A complete 180. You'd kill it tumblr. You could make it happen. Please.
obviously dietary requirements aren't a joke but my grandma sometimes runs errands for her church and i asked her what she's up to today and she said extremely seriously "ive got to track down the body of the gluten free christ, julia"
Fire season is here!
I know this is from the Washington State DNR, but like. please can we not set ANY of the states or counties or cities or towns or municipalities or villages or census designated places on fire either? and not just today, but for the entire future?
this is the current map of drought intensity in the PNW. It's not terrible, but the forecast for this weekend leading up to the 4th is blazing. (map from here)

This is a NO GIMMICK ACCOUNT ZONE
If your shit is called something like "we-rate-posts," YOU ARE NOT WELCOME. GO HOME
I disagree
There's a tension here that's really interesting to observe. The OP is almost a call to action for gimmick blogs, inviting attention despite the contradiction. It comes across as almost tsundere, doesn't it?
The call is answered by the perfect gimmick blog, calling out the contradiction by way of simple disagreement. The response is teasing and even domineering in the way it recontextualizes the entire post. It is the punchline, the center of attention, but wouldn't exist without the original setup.
While it seems like this post could be seen as a negative interaction, I think it's actually quite cute. It shows the kind of playful back and forth that could occur between two flirty girls.
Conclusion: This is yuri.
