For those wondering: this is the "new navigation layout for the desktop website". (I've blurred out users and post content for privacy)

It's fucking Twitter.

I know we've been saying Tumblr is trying too hard to be other sites for a while now, but...come on, this isn't even subtle. It's just the Twitter Desktop layout, with Tumblr-shaped posts and a Tumblr logo on the left sidebar.

So, I think this is a good time to remind people that tagging @staff or other official tumblr accounts does very little, and harrassing individual staff accounts is not the way to get things done either. Instead, fill out a Tumblr Support Request as linked in the original post, under the "Feedback" category. Tell them why this is bad. Don't scream and yell and swear, but be firm and clear about what is wrong and why they can't do this.

We can't let this become the new normal.

me: i don’t want to see jellyfish so i will blacklist the tag #jellyfish

people with no common sense: je11yf1sh, je11¥fi5h, j*llyf*sh, je//ÿf!sh, j3ï||yf¡sh, gel lee fisk

result: cannot account for the sheer amount of possible ways to alter the word jellyfish

conclusion: i have to see jellyfish now.

Once again, tumblr is not tiktok, tag properly.

Remember that loser who fucked up the triple tiger sashay 10 years ago? Get this, he’s a NINJA NOW.

Who would win, Morro or an injured child

Reblog for your chance to see an overconfident dead guy get his ass kicked by one of the deadliest 9 year olds ever to grace the realm

It's worth noting that the Nazis called him from the lobby of the building and threatened him, and King Kirby, an accomplished boxer, said "Sure, I'll be right down" and they weren't there when he got there. Because they wanted to intimidate him, and, having failed, got the hell out because their power comes from fear.

what the FUCK is this

Since WHEN have we asked for tumblr to use Twitter's layout. What the hell. I hate this. why.

@staff No.

In light of this new information, I would like to reword my statement above.

@staff @changes

Good morning/evening,

As this is an experiment for which you have asked feedbacks for, here is my reaction upon seeing it above, and my more detailed feeling of it now. I will start with the overall layout and my feeling of it, and then touch upon it's accessibility and usability, as seen by me and my experience as a user.

The reason I am not on Twitter and have barely touched Mastodon, is because of this layout. This several columns layout with the "main" one in the middle and squeezed between two other "side" columns feel oppressing, claustrophobic and cluttered. Due to this layout I have been leaving the Tumblr tab more often than I used to, and it makes me want to come back less and less.

As well, I do not like the create button at the bottom of the column on the left as it feels kind of thrown in there and keeps catching my eye despite me, which is very frustrating and annoying and makes me leave the site faster.

This also goes for the "tabs" feature at the very top, which I wasn't using in the first place but feels icky to me.

This layout feels very counter-intuitive, as everything has been switched. Long term users and disabled users relying on muscle memory will have a hard time using the website now. Now, I imagine you think "well, they'll learn", but this is another bad change amongst other, one that literally makes the website impossible to use. It would be the last straw.

I have caught myself several time moving my mouse to the places were things used to be, and felt frustrated when they weren't there, which prompted me to close the website and do something else.

As stated before, the "create" button at the bottom is very jarring and makes it uncomfortable to use as I have trouble focusing on the actual posts I'd like to see. This is one of the reason I liked Tumblr layout more than other website, for it's clean slate look with just the post in the middle, allowing me to easily focus on these and scroll and actually stay on the website, which I'm assuming is what you want.

If you must absolutely go with this design, then I suggest dimming and moving the create button on the right, switching back the search bar and tool bar to left and right respectfully, and removing all the text next to the tool bar, leaving only the icons, maybe with the text appearing when hovering, so it would appear less cluttered and stop battling for my attention with everything else.

TDLR; This layout is overwhelming, cluttered, frustrating, counter-intuitive, and makes me leave the website more often.

I hate it when I have a problem and the answer really *is* "fix your sleep schedule, do some exercise, leave the house, and drink water" like fuck offffff I don't wanna

leave the house for the first time in three days against my own desires and feel like both the soaking wet cat covered in flea medication and the owner struggling in the tub with it

the genuine human experience is to be both animal and owner

Reminder to me to do these things

"Farewell, friend of Oberon"

I think one of the reasons why tree law is so popular and people are so enthusiastic about it is because a big, old tree being killed feels so awful. You've got something that took years or decades to get that big, that provides so many benefits, and then it's just...gone and irreplaceable. Of course people are like oh boy, you didn't think that thing was valuable and now the law is gonna come for you and you're gonna regret it.

And it feels like one of the few cases where the rich (not the mega rich, but the regular rich) actually get held to account for their crimes, because the punishment is designed to match the actual damage they do. You cut down a bunch of your neighbor's trees to make your property more valuable? The punishment is basically the cost of your property.

I WAS SEARCHING FOR A SU CLIP BUT THIS IS SO MUCH MORE FUNNIER THAN WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR

Good Traits Gone Bad

Exploring good traits gone bad in a novel can add depth and complexity to your characters. Here are a few examples of good traits that can take a negative turn:

1. Empathy turning into manipulation: A character with a strong sense of empathy may use it to manipulate others' emotions and gain an advantage.

2. Confidence becoming arrogance: Excessive confidence can lead to arrogance, where a character belittles others and dismisses their opinions.

3. Ambition turning into obsession: A character's ambition can transform into an unhealthy obsession, causing them to prioritize success at any cost, including sacrificing relationships and moral values.

4. Loyalty becoming blind devotion: Initially loyal, a character may become blindly devoted to a cause or person, disregarding their own well-being and critical thinking.

5. Courage turning into recklessness: A character's courage can morph into reckless behavior, endangering themselves and others due to an overestimation of their abilities.

6. Determination becoming stubbornness: Excessive determination can lead to stubbornness, where a character refuses to consider alternative perspectives or change their course of action, even when it's detrimental.

7. Optimism becoming naivety: Unwavering optimism can transform into naivety, causing a character to overlook dangers or be easily deceived.

8. Protectiveness turning into possessiveness: A character's protective nature can evolve into possessiveness, where they become overly controlling and jealous in relationships.

9. Altruism becoming self-neglect: A character's selflessness may lead to neglecting their own needs and well-being, to the point of self-sacrifice and burnout.

10. Honesty becoming brutal bluntness: A character's commitment to honesty can turn into brutal bluntness, hurting others with harsh and tactless remarks.

These examples demonstrate how even admirable traits can have negative consequences when taken to extremes or used improperly. By exploring the complexities of these traits, you can create compelling and multi-dimensional characters in your novel.

Happy writing!

Early on in my career a well-known actor from a show on Nickelodeon cried to me for over an hour because they no longer made enough in active or residual pay to qualify for insurance and they didn’t know what they were going to do.

Fans came up to them everyday asking for autographs and talking about how great it must have been to be famous and the whole time they couldn’t afford their medication.

I’ve never forgotten them and I sincerely hope they’re alright.

CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it's part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions

if CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators

THEY ARE TRYING!!!!! SIGN THE PETITION TO GET THE DISNEY ANIMATORS' UNION RECOGNIZED

this petition is from IATSE (union), btw! it actually has credibility, unlike most change.org/etc petitions! please sign it!!

Oh okay so it's good then

Even going outside the context of the barbie movie, it is truly incredible that they could write that last part and try to frame it as a bad thing
