Cutiepie — Velociraptor is out, Mononykus is in!

It's worth mentioning the incredible comic you made in 24 hours about Heliogabolus

Yet another post from times gone by...

idk what traumatized or mentally ill person needs to hear this but dreams (especially the really disturbing ones you dont want to talk about to anybody) arent some deep peek into your psyche or a sign of your True Desires or whatever theyre quite literally your brain making fruit salad with whatever it can find on the shelf. just putting all that shit in a blender and hitting obliterate. its fine, youre fine, youre not a weirdo for it

Actually forget what I said. This dream is more important than anything

twitter is going to be shut down. half of reddit is locked or completely unmoderated. the entire first page of google search results are ads. tumblr does not and will never have a functioning search system and their content moderation is 100% automated. youtube only shares ad revenue with people who make snuff films for Youtube Kids. facebook is selling your grandma’s social security number under the table for like $5. web 2.0 is completely dead right

people from Twitter who come to Tumblr may see where all the gifs they saw or stole came from.

and yes, they came from the creators of tumblr. so don't do like there, here we reblog them.

"I think I've been shadowbanned:(("

Buddy I've been on this site nine wretched years and I've never gotten more than 17 notes on a post. And I love it here. Get on my level

Hey stop reblogging this assholes

friendly reminder for the new twitter refugees:

I have had it with this likescolding. “Tumblr doesn’t have an algorithm so likes don’t actually do anything” motherfucker I am not clicking that heart to give some post better ~algorithmic visibility~ I am clicking that heart to help my internet friend microdose on serotonin as god fucking intended

I have never felt so validated in never having given up on Tumblr.

IT GETS WORSE!

So he artificially limited the number of tweets you can see per day with a "free" account.

Once you hit your limit, it stops you from loading the page. But it also doesn't know WHY it isn't loading, so it keeps TRYING.

Twitter is literally hitting itself in the face ten times per second per user.

This is so completely amateurish it's unbelievable. It's like putting your car in neutral and slamming your foot on the gas until your engine redlines and then wondering why it's making a horrible noise and a terrible smell but not going anywhere.

A modern day titanic sinking. We all thought Tumblr would be the first to go.

SCOTUS is on the shittiest roll this week. Affirmative Action gone, you can reserve the right to refuse service to us dirty queers, and for some goddamn reason student loan forgiveness is "unconstitutional"

The origin is very old turns out

Real life events are treated like fictional media automatically entering some meme cannon and fictional media is demanded of so much moralism and the events in fictional media are treated with so much seriousness as if whatever is being depicted..is being condoned. People talk about media literacy all of the time now but it’s actually crazy how nothing that happens in real life is sacred or free of exploitation but anything fictional has to be explicitly clear in a specific moral compass.

Loki

How did she become Loki's daughter?

So she's only considered Loki's daughter because of what Thor did?

Marvel has me confused

Damn, I need to read Thor #35

I need to read this. And ugh Loki and Hela's relationship is incredibly confusing in Marvel comics. They can't make up their mind whether or not Loki's her dad (and Loki originally being her dad is the REAL reason her design looks so much like Loki's). And I felt they only said that so kid!Loki and Leah (who is some form of Hela and turns into Hela's hand) could crush on each other where they said she already existed when OG!evil!Loki (the one that died) was a kid (and might be a past iteration of Loki's daughter which is really fucking weird and makes me wonder how the fuck sylki got so much backlash in comparison to THAT).

oh fuck it’s disability pride month

shoutout to those with chronic illness, physical handicaps, genetic disorders (yo that’s me!!), paralyzed folks, amputees, people who were disabled in accidents, those who were born with their condition, those with mental disorders, those with ptsd, blind folks, deaf folks, people who use wheelchairs, those who have to lug around equipment or else they die (hey that’s me again) and people who have a whole shelf in their fridge or pantry dedicated to their meds. we are loud and beautiful and diverse and incredible. may we finally get the same rights as our abled counterparts

and may accessibility departments return our goddamn phone calls

reading European history is literally "and then Christianity showed up and things had to change". usually for the worse

Christianity is the fire nation.

I’m sorry friends, but “just google it” is no longer viable advice. What are we even telling people to do anymore, go try to google useful info and the first three pages are just ads for products that might be the exact opposite of what the person is trying to find but The Algorithm thinks the words are related enough? And if it’s not ads it’s just sponsored websites filled with listicles, just pages and pages of “TOP FIFTEEN [thing you googled] IMAGINED AS DISNEY PRINCESSES” like… what are we even doing anymore, google? I can no longer use you as shorthand for people doing real and actual helpful research on their own.

Time to drop some links again.

That Google and Meta can get away with this during an era of intense misinformation and disinformation signals that we cannot rely on large tech companies to provide reliable access to information and news:
