One thing I love about Tumblr that wasn't a thing on Reddit is that I can just write whatever the fuck text post I want. No titles. No putting text on images. No algorithms or karma. Just fuckin splatter your mind onto the screen and people will see it. Like god intended.

It has unironically been great for my mental health. It’s like the opposite of doomscrolling. Coomscrolling? Idk

Mood I've felt marginally better past 2 days than I have in how long???

Speaking as a longtime Tumblr user

It’s doing me good to see you all here. Like we’ve had some pretty sus UX changes lately (although nowhere near on the level of what Reddit’s doing—mostly it’s been months since they introduced Tumblr Live and we’re all still mad about it), and seeing y’all come stumbling in like “oh this is COOL” is letting me take a fresh look at the site and really appreciate why I love it here.

Maybe the real crisis of masculinity is that none of you people have FRIENDS.

The thing that I find most embarrassing about "Crisis in masculinity" narratives is that they've been talking about it my entire life and the "solution" has always been to consume: "BUY my book! LISTEN TO my podcast! TAKE these boner pills! JOIN this gym! BUY a big fucking truck! EAT steak! DRINK whisky! COLLECT guns! GET cosmetic surgery to MAKE YOUR HEAD LOOK LIKE A BOX so bitches will want to FUCK you!"

And yet it never seems to be enough, and the reason it never seems to be enough is because there *is* no crisis of masculinity, there's a crisis of corporate media making men feel insecure so that they can sell them shit. It's absolutely no different from the cosmetics industry or the diet industry or the fashion industry doing the same to women.

i would like to think that we can recognise that most men are actually victims of the patriarchy and of capitalism... while still recognising that this leads them to act in ways that victimise women... its like a giant train of misery and I think it might be more effective to fight it from the top down than the bottom up.... i.e. try to work on dismantling the systems of opression rather than demonise men... while still acknowledging that a lot of men NEED to fix their behaviour..... wow its almost like this is a complex and nuanced issue.......
