Oh no! I've been Moose Plinkoed

i “left” tumblr an mcyt enjoyer and have come back a General YouTube Enjoying Girlie (/not girl), obsessed with tlou, obsessed with pedro pascal, obsessed with the mandalorian, poetry enjoyer, BIGGEST GARF STAN OF THEM ALL, etc

and am i gonna change my blogs layout to depict this? no i have no energy ever L (i’m going bonkers)

thought i’d make a specific list of some of my biggest interest rn just for the sake of…i enjoy making lists MAHDKSJ

in no specific order:

OH OH OH AND MUSIC!!!

I've shared my battle jacket before but it's been updated since so sharing again for solarpunk aesthetic week

By far my favorite piece of clothing, though it's too damn hot to wear it right now. I embroider all the patches by hand, so it gets added to very very slowly.

Ok but with how twitter and reddit are dying. What if tumblr actually takes off. What if the white house starts posting important things on tumblr. What if Joe biden announcement gets edited to cock monolog

I know its fun to be like omg twitter is dying lets goooo

but its really sad that we're losing yet another form of human communication and years of information because of another ceo baby manchild. I'm going to lose contact with a bunch of friends i've made because of this and it sucks

If i've learned anything from vine and twitter its that when humans are confined by limitations they accept them and somehow still make it funny and/or informative

girl isnt a gender its a state of mind

so i have a mildly popular “reblog and put in in the tags” post going around and its. very clear how many people don’t know how to interact with a tumblr post

so, first of all, tumblr’s culture has changed a lot in the past couple years. there’s a genuine community effort to not start any drama, and ironically a lot of the current hostility is an effort to keep things calm. there’s also a change in how people interact with posts, so if you haven’t been here in a while please skip down to the tags/replies/reblog with text section.

for newcomers: you should be reblogging posts about as liberally as you would like something on twitter. if you only like stuff, people will think you are rude/a bot. you’ve probably heard people talk about “cultivating your dash,” and thats because this platform is 100% centered around your dashboard. trending matters less, unfollowing and blocking in order to shape your dash into it’s best form is widely accepted, the majority of the content you’ll find and interact with will be because of your dash, and the only way to put things on your dash is to reblog them. tumblr users are deeply distrustful of algorithms and have largely turned off the “see posts your friends have liked” function (i recommend you also turn of the various algorithms in settings → general settings → dashboard preferences).

so, once you’ve reblogged a post, there’s three ways to add content to it. the tags, replies, and reblogging with text. all of them have different connotations

the tags: an inside voice. originally they were meant for organizing your blog (and they’re still used for this), but they’ve also morphed into a way to share thoughts that aren’t funny/insightful enough for non-followers to be interested in. when in doubt, put your comment in the tags

replies: basically talking to your friends in class. your followers have no way of finding your replies (they don’t pop up on the dash, nobody gets notified except for the original poster) so chances are, only the person who made the post is gonna see your comment. it’s for quick one-offs that you’re okay with other people overhearing, but really is only made for one person. they’re like a public dm

reblog with text: an outside voice. you’re getting up on a stage in town square and entertaining people. make sure it’s funny or insightful— bottom line, add something new to the conversation. you should use this the least

general rules of thumb: 

Finally real advice for new users. This is a solid guide for how to make the transition from Twitter to Tumblr.

In particular, artists need you to reblog. A reblog helps them get seen. A like doesn’t help them at all.

Pedro pascal, the man that you are

Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.

idk when we decided that explaining yourself shouldn't be part of an apology but like. if someone was a dick to me and apologizes but I still don't understand why they did it I'm not gonna feel any better

I know it feels like an understatement but you sometimes make more progress by pointing out that conservatives are fucking rude. going out of your way to call someone the wrong name because you don't like them? rude. childish. this isn't fucking kindergarten, Carl. she said her name is Jennifer. Everybody knows her as Jennifer. You are the one making things confusing. Grow up.

"misgendering is violence": invites discourse over the TraNs DeBatE, puts people on the defensive, opens you up to accusations of liberal snowflakery, comes off as a hypothetical thought exercise

"Who the fuck is Jason? I don't know a Jason. Oh her? You mean Jen? You mean fucking Jen? That's Jen, dipshit." : crystal clear. you're making shit more difficult for everyone because you're a rude manchild.

mimimi there’s no benefits to being a good person mimimi SHUT UP?!? stop being an angsty emo little creature and maybe sit outside in the sun and enjoy some fruit and see some nature. it will fix you.

i’m starting a movement to stop calling this shit “artificial intelligence” cause it’s fucking not. it’s not intelligent, and the things it produces are not informed by logical choices. it doesn’t know how to research sources for you. it doesn’t compose art thoughtfully or meaningfully.

call it machine-generated, text generator, chat bot, but it’s not intelligent.

that reminds me of this one thing i found on accident one time…..

"if you put too many people together they start shooting each other!!" that just sounds like usamerican projection, but okay

also: western lib: *sees an apartment building in a socialist country* western lib: is this a gulag??

i love the 'imagine the energy consumed by this building' because like. it's actually very clear and obvious that a building of many apartments will require less energy than the same number of detached houses, since it shares services and thermal inertia

imagine going to visit so many of your friends and they're like only a few floors away or maybe right next door

imagine the tenant's union that this kind of place can form 😍

The ideal living arrangement, according to the people on this post lmao

If you like this idea then go live there, go live that dream.

I personally will live like a human instead of a lab rat, I want to be able to go outside and touch grass and listen to the wind blow through the trees.

Usamericans are so suburbpoisoned they don't realize you can just. Walk out of an apartment building. You aren't stuck inside.

People on this website talk about creating self-sustaining communes and working together and making accessible walkable cities and then see a close knit community in China with walkable shops nearby to every home and call it inhumane

you know the fandomscape has changed b/c now whenever a piece of media gets popular I no longer see Malk, Circletine, Gay or European, or Left Brain Right Brain animatics anymore

Could not imagine stan twitter fandom being able to cope with the existence of gay or european

Sorry to everyone who’s enjoyed the last 130 years of science and culture journalism, but Disney needs the money to fund Toy Story 9
