"Today, we received a message from Reddit that our mod team will be replaced if we do not open up the subreddit immediately"

I mean- holy shit? Strikebreaker activity.

This is most certainly not the only subreddit that has gotten this message.

behold all my stick figures

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

48hr tumblr blackout proposal

tumblr mobile has seadily become near unusable these past few updates. not just from a user experience perspective (which is important enough in itself) but also from an accessibility perspective.

examples include the new way the image viewer works (if you can call it "working"), the tumblr live button replacing the profile button, and that newly created blogs will be forced to have their main dashboard tab be the 'for you' page.

the demands of the protest would be along the lines of:

to protest against these usability issues, and inspired by the recent reddit blackout, i propose a 48 hour blackout (where you don't use tumblr at all). preferably of both mobile and web (since web has problems too) but mobile is the focus here.

I suggest the 48 hours between the 30th of June to the end of the 1st of July.

this marks the end of pride month (for the "queerest place on the internet") and the start of disability month (since accessibility is a massive issue here).

tumblr office is in San Francisco, USA, so the times and dates will be calculated using their time zone (PDT).

you can find out the times and dates for your timezone here.

i can't afford to blaze this post so please spread it around as much as possible! protests only work if significant numbers show up!

tumblr rejected the blaze campaigns for this post because they know it would hurt them. let's make this an indefinite blackout - it's the best way to get results.

(so the blackout would be from June 30th onwards)

@one-time-i-dreamt @i-am-a-fish @lizluvscupcakes tagging some larger blogs to hopefully get the word out more

#i've been waiting for this day for 20 years on this planet

*touches ground* something happened here...

maybe esoteric tone tags are good actually. It's enriching my web experience to read this like this person appreciates OP's take so much that they're giving them a handy j about it

why must y'all be like this

the entire plot of “back to the future” but when it’s supposed to show him disappearing from the family photo it’s sasuke disappearing from this

Plot twist, they’re so busy focusing on bringing Sasuke back it takes them a moment to realize that one waitress in the back is also reappearing.

This is what growing up in the 2000s was like

the games looked like this too all low res textures and graphics

ten years of fighting and when shit hits the fan tumblr instantly has reddit's back. the greatest enemies to lovers story ever told.

you understand

Oops, my hand slipped–

humanizations of websites have returned. nature is healing, capitalism is the virus

a couple things i feel belong outside the replies

tips for reddit users coming to tumblr:

unlike traditional shooting games, ammo isn't free and neither are repairs. while it might seem obvious to spend all of your starting money on the highest quality parts available to you, this can easily result in the expenses of your early missions plunging you into the red

It’s real it’s real it’s real it’s real it’s not CGI it’s a three-story set and a multi house neighborhood and my God it’s beautiful.

 ok but what about

@triruntu

@elodieunderglass uhhhhhh… Birb?

I Suggest we Consider:

AQUATIC (penguin)

I dunno, I kinda love it… :D

It’s a fine line to tread when you’re breeding your phoenix. A swan is good:

But take it a few genes to the left and you’ve got a GOOSE

(Make no mistake, a swan will mess you up just as hard as a goose. But it is the difference between being slain with a katana and getting whacked with a bag of old potatoes.)

It got better

@elodieunderglass

Oh my God someone actually drew a Good Version of my Dubious Penguin????? And THEN someone added a sweonix (swan phoenix)? Oh man, this is the stuff you miss when you’re in the middle of a reblog chain.

@english-history-trip that is some powerful art, and I respect the trip that it represents from the sublime to the absurd, for in this journey we find enlightenment.

@keire-ke your magnificent penguin art represents the other side of the journey, which takes us from the absurd to the powerful. In this journey we find truth.

According to some sources, the legend of the phoenix might be derived from another bird noted for it’s striking appearance and who, indeed, are of the order Phoenicopterus

You know what birds those are?

FLAMINGOS!

Just saying…. if someone wanted to try ANOTHER take on Fawkes….

This is terrible and I feel like I should apologise, but really, it’s @iconuk01‘s fault.

Also I am not a certified Birb artist.

Never

Apologize

For

Shaming

Herodotus

so I’m speaking hypothetically here but is there any reason we can’t move the whole Phoenix thing backwards up the dinosaur family tree a little bit?

T-Rex Phoenix. that’s where I’m going with this.

Phoenix kiwi . Please you master birb artists make it happen! A useless flightless bird who gives death from the knees down

Dear @bunjywunjy and @gigi-tastic I hope you shall enjoy these firey beasts of past and present.

They make a fantastic duo.

HELL

YES

HELL

FUCKIN

YES

@elodieunderglass Do penguin phoenixes dive down to geothermal vents for food? That would be a good reason to make them phoenixes.

They could! There are some near the Antarctic. Also, since classically there can only be one phoenix at the time, their self-immolating funeral pyre is required to provide enough heat to hatch their egg 😔

I wouldn't mind a shoebill!phoenix it looks so happy :D

The problem I have with the “korra losing her connection to her past lives” plot line, is it wasn’t a plot line.  it was an event that was mentioned afterward but never really done anything with.

If it it gone on to be an actual plot line, and given how large of an event it was it should have, that would have made sense and been really good.  

but they just didn’t do anything with it.
