seeing “balanced” takes on abortion makes me want to state for the record i love abortion. I love it. Unapologetically. I love all my friends who have had abortions and all the reasons they’ve had them. i love people who treat abortion flippantly I love people who have a lot of emotions about their abortion. I love people who will have only one abortion in their whole life and people who will have many. abortion is great, no caveats. Its not a moral quandary. if someone doesn’t want to be pregnant they should have safe access to rectifying the state of their own body
Reblog to give an ancient spirit lurking in your room a nice hot bowl of soup
people on this website loves days and dates. you could make a post that says “it’s sweet fat of the hog tuesday” and people would go nuts reblogging it every tuesday
happy sweet fat of the hog tuesday
I was bored in graphics class once again, take my uquiz and desolve
Which deadly sin are you but none of the questions make any sense
There’s something morally wrong with Pikachu’s mouth. This is a sign of demonic possession and somebody needs to help him.
ima give him teeth to see if that helps.
nope that didn’t help
I do not know why I thought this would help
tumblr guide for new users:
1) there is no algorithm for your dashboard. can't stress this enough. your dashboard is in chronological order of posts and reblogs from people you follow. "based on your likes!" is a joke and they removed that feature in a week
2) because of the lack of algorithm, likes do nothing. if you want more people to see a post, you have to reblog it so it goes on your follower's dashes
3) the vast majority of posts on a person's blog tend to be reblogs. think 90% or so. some of those will have that person commenting on it, and more will have tags
4) comments stay on reblog chains, while tags only show up on your reblog of that post. it's kind of like a whisper voice. in either case, both op and the person you reblogged from see that in their notifications
5) tags don't go in the body of the post. writing "staying in #lasvegas" won't make it appear in the las vegas tag, it'll just look weird
6) it's totally normal to reblog and post multiple things in one day. it's normal to reblog the same post twice in a row. it's normal to have 100 posts+reblogs in a day. post limit (the total number of original posts and reblogs) for a single day is 250. you heard me. 250. go hog fucking wild
7) it defaults to having a visible likes tab on your blog (but only on your blog, not the dashboard) but most people toggle it off
8) "tumblr clout" is a fucking joke. no one can see your follower count, and no one makes money here. there are no influencers. enjoy not giving a shit about maintaining a public persona. it's all anonymous and your employers won't find you here

This is why I have this. Even if they can get the lock opened they can’t push the door open. Got it at Lowes for $20.
reblog for that last bit to save a life
If you’re like me and have a large gap under your front door (someone could take a stick and just poke the leaning stick style door jam out), I recommend the Addalock. It’s small, perfect for traveling, and this lock is CRAZY. It’s so simple but the door does not move.
You can’t see it from the other side, either. It also cost about $20, and I can’t recommend it enough. Easy to travel with, too! Great for Air BnBs!
That’s why I have these on my doors. They get drilled into the side and once its flipped over the door nothing is getting it open. Not the door being unlocked nothing, I’ve unlocked the door and pulled and pushed as hard as I could and it didn’t budge. When I go on a trip this is what I use and when I’m home I leave it on too. No one is getting in here.

Okay I know that it is necessary for many but what do you do if you need medical attention and you’re not able to open the door from the inside? Can the fire department get through these at least?
Yes. The fire department can and will break down your door if necessary, it’s one of the reasons they have axes; it’s entirely possible for door frames to melt/expand/seize or otherwise become unopenable during a house fire but the door itself can be hacked down. Or the window. In rare cases, the wall. Firefighters don’t fuck around with collateral damage when lives are at stake.
Sharing for all the safety items!!
Informative. Please share!

“to greet you” has got to be the scariest shit ever ngl-
And please reblog for safety!!
Imagine just being like “Hey can you stop locking your doors so I can break in easier/assault you?”
I have made a craft paint acrylic on canvas repaint of The Happy Accidents of the Swing, by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, but it's frogs🐸🌸

As the staff post about ad-free tumblr continues to get thousands of notes telling staff to fuck off in the tags, I wanna remind you that this website's days are numbered. Tumblr is still unprofitable and by some modern-day miracle none of its acquiring companies pulled the plug on this money pit. But it will happen if it continues its trajectory.
Whether you like it or not, Tumblr needs to make money off you somehow in order to stay up. It either serves ads or asks for money to use it. This has been a paradigm on the web longer than many of you have been alive. It's Tumblr's job to make money right now because it's well past its grace period of being a black hole for cash. This has actually always been Tumblr's job, since it is a corporation, but that's capitalism for ya.
If you want Tumblr to be here for free and you want to continue to use it, you do yourself a disservice by opposing any changes Tumblr makes in order to pay for its costs. When this site finally goes belly-up then you're gonna be Tumblr-less until whatever startup takes its place and the cycle repeats itself.
If you think it should just ask for donations Wikipedia-style, remember that if and when that happens, there will be users repeating the same tired bullshit about giving Tumblr any money.
just a reminder in case you missed it directly from the current CEO of Tumblr:
Also like. If you do not want to pay that is cool, but why are you getting in the way of people who do? You could literally just keep using Tumblr exactly how you are. My reaction to this was "Thank god" because I appreciate having one social media site where they aren't actively trying to dominate my entire life. If you do not, don't pay. It's very simple.
Tumblr is a much, much better safe space for the LGBTQ+ community than Instagram and Twitter. I’m going ad-free so our community keeps a place where a vast majority of people are welcoming toward us.
given the recent national controversy regarding the graphic novels “maus” by art spiegelman i can imagine many people would like to read them. for the time being they can be found on this google drive for free.
Always buy the books as physical copies if you can to support the creators and artists!
we fucked up its getting more profitable
Today, someone has been lamenting that all stories which feature LGBT characters are about the characters suffering, sorrowing, going mad, and dying. Yesterday, someone was lamenting that all stories which feature LGBT characters are frothy, fluffy, happy stories where nobody has any serious problems and the characters are unrealistically sweet and wholesome. The person making the first complaint (proudly) only reads Very Serious Important Literature and watches Very Serious Important Cinema. The person making the second complaint (just as proudly) only watches children’s cartoons. This is literally true, but it is also a parable.
