Media with no fandom =/= obscure media. 12 Angry Men is a famous movie but do you think that you can look it up on tumblr and find people shipping the nameless jurors? Well you can

bitches call my dick game weak bc my thrusts are uncoordinated and sloppy and i keep losing my erection thinking about the ramifications of the maze

i live in a fucking sitcom. I'm delivering packages to people in the building and a nice lady gave me some chocolate as a thank you for lifting all the heavy stuff. I'm like thanks yippee and eat it without hesitation and it tasted like burnt dirt. so i knock on her door and ask her where that candy was from and she said it was a 40mg edible. this was 15 mins ago

woke up and I'm still high, bless-ed be

...So, y'all may have seen this infamous cover of that one Shel Silverstein album, but have you actually listened to any of it?

Cause I did, and the titular song... well, let's just say the cover fits the tone very, very well.

Luigi… thunder. 

This is still the most confusing post this blog has ever made

what have i done

UPS has reached an agreement with the Teamsters union to equip its iconic brown delivery trucks with air conditioning for the first time for new units.

The agreement, announced by UPS on Tuesday, comes as the delivery giant and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters negotiate the terms of a new contract for more than 330,000 U.S. employees. (source)

Unions work, unionize.

They only just now got air conditioners?!?!?!

Yeah it’s a huge win. Those trucks are death traps on a good day. A bunch of drivers died and more got severely ill last year from heat stroke. The temperature in the back of those vans is usually 10 degrees hotter than outside. It’s terrible, and I’m so proud of my union for how harshly they’re negotiating right now. We’ve got a bunch of smaller consessions already but this one was big.

This round of negotiations is difficult. The UPS Overlords are trying very hard to keep their billions of dollars in three pockets instead of spreading the wealth we (the workers) earned for them during the pandemic’s influx of home delivery. They’re trying to give us as little as possible and spinning the news articles to make it look like they’re super generous. Meanwhile almost everyone in my warehouse is on food stamps cuz we aren’t paid shit.

The UPS Teamsters Union are currently voting on whether or not to go on strike in August, so prepare for that. Stock up on essential supplies, just in case. We’ll let everyone know how to support us when the time comes.

This job is my first time being part of a union and I never wanna go back to not having one. It’s amazing to have so much fighting power.

Warning: do not delete any sideblogs

I’ve been seeing it happen to a handful of people, but apparently if you try to delete your sideblog you will end up deleting your MAIN tumblr account entirely as well I don’t know if this is a bug or something, but I’ve seen it happen to ~4 people now, so until this possible bug gets worked out do NOT delete any of your sideblogs unless you want to risk deleting your account entirely

As far as I know, this is not a programming bug. This is bad design resulting in user error. It is safe to delete sideblogs if you do it the correct (non-intuitive) way.

Source: I have successfully deleted multiple sideblogs over the years. And I have unfortunately heard of many people accidentally deleting their whole accounts over the years too. This Tumblr help page corroborates my experience and outlines the proper way to delete a sideblog. (Note the difference between the headers: “Deleting Your Account” vs. “Deleting a Secondary Blog or Leaving a Group Blog”)

The mistake people make:

When you go into the settings of a sideblog, there’s a button at the bottom that says “Delete [sideblog url]”

Of course, people think this button will delete only the sideblog they want to delete. But the thing is, this button shows up at the bottom of every blog in the settings page, and the url displayed will match whatever sideblog you’re looking at. It will still delete your entire account, as intended by staff.

What you need to actually do:

When you want to delete a sideblog, you must go to the members tab of that blog and hit “Delete this blog”

https://www.tumblr.com/blog/[sideblog url]/members

Reasoning:

Sideblogs are meant to have the potential to be shared by multiple users. So the thinking is, if you are one of 5 members of a blog and you want to leave, you go into the members tab and leave. The 4 other people still share the blog without you.

That same line of thought applies when you are the only user. When you are the only owner of a sideblog, you must ‘leave’ the ‘group’ from the members page to delete it. Deleting any blog from the settings page will delete your entire account.

If you’re still unsure, you can follow these steps:

watching reddit go into a full death spiral is like watching the specifically trans equivalent of the library of alexandria go up in flames

like yes reddit is also the only place on the internet you can get an actual answer to any question in general. but it’s also a huge centralized community database about which surgeons will fuck you over, who takes what insurance, which doctors you can trust, how to write a template therapist’s letter, insurance appeals, peer support, questions that feel too stupid to ask anywhere else, diy guidelines, “hey this is embarrassing but,” finding trans people in your area, explaining why you need PTO without getting way too personal about it, safety tips, et cetera you get the picture

Someone on trans Reddit just bought the url transgender.org and have put out a call for folks to help turn it into a replacement (and more). Here's a link on r/ftm but it's open to everyone

Education and nutrition depend on each other.

Facebook and google are helping cops prosecute people seeking abortion. Be very careful in this new era people.

As the political climate grows increasingly fascist, please consider protecting yourself and the people you talk to by transitioning away from gmail, google chat, google calendar, etc. Protonmail has a free encrypted (private) email option and a free encrypted calendar service, and is trialling a free cloud storage option.

Also consider having sensitive conversations on encrypted services like Signal or Element instead of well-known leakers like facebook messenger, discord, skype, text messages, imessage, etc.

That buffer of increased privacy is probably enough to make a difference for the average person since these mass surveillance campaigns typically prioritize targeting the people whose data is easiest to harvest.
