My heart screams autumn but the calendar says July 

we should set more tv shows in fake US states the way we make up fake european countries for disney channel originals and hallmark movies

You ID’d the weapon from the gunshot sound?

there should be a checkmark that people can buy for lurking. a lurkmark. so we know that they're not bots. it should be a little shadowperson with a hat and sunglasses. maybe a top hat.

yes!

I think this guy is gonna have a shadow themed Fortress of Solitude

I am sharing this for my friends who are disheartened by unnecessary criticism. Fanfics are not school assignments to be graded by your teachers. Styles vary by region. What looks odd to an American may be perfectly fine for Australia.

Every style has an audience.

my little brother got a girlfriend recently and the two of them have been making their discord icons matching anime couples, so my other brother, his twin, keeps changing his icon to a third wheel character to annoy them

this is an old post but i have an update: the second brother started voice calling and playing games with a girl he likes, and every time the first brother walks into their room while hes talking to her he makes sure to hype him up, but in absurdly hyperbolized ways like “broo i just saw you on the news congrats on saving the bus full of orphans from crashing into the baby panda hospital. also zendaya called and asked if you wanted to go out with her and billie eilish but obviously you wont because youre so loyal. and joe biden came by personally and said he wanted to give you an award for most handsome man alive but i told him to just put it with the others”

The Struts and Mac Saturn were FUCKING FANTASTIC

Seriously like the best night EVER

Ended up dehydrated, soaked in sweat, exhausted, and wonderfully happy and high on the music.

It was so GOOD

The Daily Times, New Philadelphia, Ohio, July 9, 1924

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.

Hate to always be the one saying this, but:

No, they literally can't.

FOSTA/SESTA hasn't gone away. Credit card companies are still reluctant or completely unwilling to do business with adult content providers. The app store is still a bitch. Ads are still a necessary part of the website's revenue stream.

People don't seem to understand that Twitter being able to semi-openly host explicit porn, despite being so huge, is an act of fucking wizardry. It's unclear why Twitter gets such wildly preferential treatment from these entities (especially now) but the fact remains that it is preferential treatment. Not just any website can do that.

If Tumblr's ownership (not @staff mind you, the actual owners) was confident this website could be fully financially supported on subscriptions/post+ there might be a shred of a chance that we could get porn back, but people are EXTREMELY hostile to Tumblr's efforts to 'be a profitable business,' so why would they expect that to work?

Yes, the NSFW policy could be hugely improved. It needs to be more clear and consistent. But, for the record, it's fairly obvious that the inconsistency and vagueness are at least partially because A. the moderation is almost entirely automated and B. staff genuinely wants to give us wiggle room to post lewd shit while giving themselves plausible deniability

If you want porn back, stop talking to staff and start talking to your congressmen.

HEY. @staff LISTEN TO US. LISTEN TO YOUR LOYAL USERS. DO. NOT. I REPEAT DO NOT GIVE THIS SITE AN ALGORITHM.

the whole reason I use this site is because it DOESNT have one. PLEASE. I swear you will lose half your user base if not more.

@staff PLEASE

@staff please don’t!

@staff please. The people who want this are from Twitter. Don’t change the site that the majority of your user base likes for a new influx of people that might not even stick around. Don’t do that, we’re begging you.

Chronological order please!

wasted oppportunity that aaron sorkin never put anything inspired by this in the west wing.
