“Love isn’t only love, sweetheart. It’s hard work, and trust, and tears, with even a few glimpses of devastation. But at the end of each day, if you can still look at the person at your side and can’t imagine anyone else you’d rather have there, the pain, the heartache and the ups and downs of love are worth it.”

since tumblr is getting deleted on Monday you guys can climb a mountain and turn around and see my reflection in the snow covered hills til the landslide brings me down

I didn’t know it was actually possible to fuck up so badly, but, CON-FUCKING-GRATS! A++++

Like… Minors are being flagged as ñšfw when they are sfw, you get a notification that a blogger has made a post and you can only see the posts as recent as yesterday morning. You’re taking away ñšfw because you let CP, pedos and porn bots through. You don’t even try stopping stalking or harassment done online.

I realize you care more about getting rich with a big fat paycheck than actually listening to what your user base is asking for or saying. You were ONLY quick to act when your precious app was removed from Ios when Apple finally found traces of CP, the stuff you didn’t get to cover up.

The biggest mistake you made is taking away flagging blogs as adult content to only allow users supposedly old enough to look and removing safe mode. Some people rely on that because, believe it or not, some people can’t even look at artful nudes.

You’re only trying to cover your ass because you got caught not doing your actual job.

Which was/is keeping predators off the internet!!

You get paid more than the average working American. You were probably playing candy crush or words with friends on your phone when you should have been making sure you kept on top of complaints.

In the midst of your problems, you created even more on your website. Focus on the mess you created instead of making new additions to your already flawed ToS.

Scan for CP blogs, ban hate speech blogs, get rid of nazi blogs, swipe left on racist blogs, stomp out homophobic blogs, 86 the blogs that have proof sent for harassment and stalking.

Listen to your loyal customers, not your staff. We are your customers, because we continually come back to this hellsite, God knows why.

Start taking responsibility THE CORRECT WAY™, because if you want us to stay, listening is good way to start.

I highly doubt any of you at staff or support will read this or even care. Get your act together, or I predict that this hellsite will actually see hell by 2020.

So today this kid yelled Nani the fuck?!? in the middle of a test and I felt compelled to share this to the world.

teachers, share the weird crap your kids have done!

I’m not a teacher (yet) but I do work with students and one of them had the nerve to look me dead in the eye and ask me “why would it be a bad idea for me to eat this entire marker?” They’re 11

An 4th grader asked for a high five by saying, “A little slappy to make daddy happy?”

I did not give him a high five.

A student during break had her head in her arms and was shaking a bit, so i asked the kid next to her whether she was laughing or crying and this 8 year old stared me in the eye deadpan and said “im crying on the inside”

Wait i take that back, I cant believe i forgot about the time i brought in a small stuffed octopus as a class mascot because why tf not. It was a class of high schoolers and i didnt imagine theyd actually care much, but one student snuck in a snack and gave it to the octopus as a tribute. Which led to other students doing the same thing, until every day there was a pile of of offerings to Fweej the Overseer, mostly consisting of things like string cheeses and small bags of chips, but sometimes there wouldd be a couple bucks in quarters, one kid brought in some giant pocky i think, and at one point there was a cold stone gift card. This stuffed octopus gained a cult following.

Later i brought in another stuffed octopus that looked exactly the same but bigger and told the class that Fweej the Overseer accepted their offerings and became stronger. These highschoolers lost their goddamn minds.

how bad do you think the american government and the capitalists in charge of it hate the internet for cluing in the not only the american public but the rest of the world that living in america actually sucks extremely hard 

turns out it’s hard to lie to people about the quality of living in other countries when you can chat with someone in Sweden and learn that the government pays YOU to go to college there. or you can chat with literally anybody in literally any other first world country and find out that going to the hospital is Fucking Free. 

like it’s no wonder captialists want net neutrality to end so badly. they’re getting exposed super hard and future voters are learning to fucking LOATHE the shit they’re doing.

SO fuckin often conservative dipshits will be like why don’t you go over to Europe and see how they live you’ll be so thankful for Republicans protecting you from taxes and regulation. And I’m like. Holy fuck youre brainwashed by fox news. It would be sad if you deserved any empathy at this point.

my favorite thing is when an american conservative politician is like “oh you don’t want to go to europe it’s a lawless hellscape where people are murdered in the streets” and then online people are like 

a. what the fuck are you talking about i live in sweden and have never even seen a knife in my entire life

b. isn’t america a lawless hellscape where people are murdered in the streets every day? by COPS?

it’s like not even about the nsfw content like yeah i enjoy porn but that’s whatever. they are right that there are other places on the internet to get it. it’s about their complete disregard for their userbase, the flat out passive aggressive snarkiness of @staff, the hypocrisy, and the sudden strict policing of what used to be (what seemed to be) a generally uncensored place. idk about u but it makes me mad as hell to see a random ass post of someone’s arm flagged for being “explicit” like stop fucking watching us were gonna pack it up and go now

I’m very curious as to what exactly tumblr thinks they’re going to accomplish with this deletion.

It’s like they have vastly underestimated who uses their platform and why. This nsfw ban will touch everyone from sex workers to those who create explicit fan art.

Do they want the site to just…die? Because that’s how to kill this entire hellsite.

[Also: “female-presenting nipples” ??? Go fuck yourself, tumblr.]

Right? I’ve been in so many parts of this website in my many years of being apart of it. You know what all those different groups and parts of this site have in common? Naked humans. Sex. Boobs. Dicks.

I thought that was why we were here and not say IG?
