i think it’s really amazing how total strangers who have nothing in common but their shared love of a work of fiction will come together across distances and dedicate their time and energy working collaboratively to build an extensive, richly detailed fanon that completely fucking sucks

you guys are so committed to being bad at interpreting things you’ll just straight up decide this post means the opposite of what i wrote and reblog it anyway

I’m curious, because I’ve never seen anyone say that they like the changes. All of this seems to be an attempt to reel in new users more familiar with tiktok or twitter, but I’m not convinced that new users are actually joining in large numbers and consistently continuing to use the site.

I've been on tumblr for ten years at this point (fucked up but beside the point). I turned off the auto-update on the app months ago so I haven't had to deal with the FYP update, and thank god. The only draw of tumblr imo is the curation and the [relative] lack of algorithm influence on the content you see; Do you guys remember when they tried to take the dashboard out of chronological order, and people HATED it? The direction the site has been taking has really put me off, lately.

Also, from what I've seen, it seems like tumblr is kept alive by the users that have been here since day one, not unlike reddit. I think that if they keep trying to push the tiktokification they're going to lose a lot of people who have been making the content that actually makes this site worth looking at, for both new and returning users.

Sorry for my little rant but it's been frustrating watching every platform try to turn into a worse version of an app I hate lol

this personality test just obliterated me. saying it roasted me would be the biggest understatement

podcast in my left ear: the japanese soldier who had written this particular diary wrote, "if i went one week without chopping a head off, it felt wrong. we had competitions to see who could take the most. we were instructed to take no prisoners, and if we were taken, to commit suicide. by the end of the war, whole units held grenades to their heads and slit their stomachs before they could be captured. so many bodies floated in the water off of Saipan, the americans could not bring their boats to the shore"

boss over the wire in my right ear: there is a female presenting "baby" patron currently running on the stairs just a headsup for everyone to see if u can find the guardian, running is not allowed

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.
