Wait, what?

Charging for access to APIs? Not on our watch.

Tumblr will always offer free access to our APIs of all kinds. No matter if the APIs are in the water, out of the water, and even half in and out of the water. Adorable Platypus Images are a cornerstone of the internet. It's a mammalian right to gaze upon these billed wonders.

Tumblr won't stop at total access to Adorable Platypus Images. Not only are we highlighting the entire Platypus community on Tumblr, we also hear Brick Whartley’s Crab Emporium (@emporium) may be dropping an entire line of Platypus goods...if that's what the people want.

YOOO THATS AWESOME NEWS THANKS @slonkel

why closed captioning should always be provided on every video:

  • Deaf People Exist
  • auditory processing disorder is a Bitch
  • people with ADHD can find it hard to concentrate on what is being said without the words in front of them
  • ^autistic people for the same reason
  • autistic people may also find it hard to interpret verbal messages within the context of the video, so it's useful to have written alternatives to fall back on
  • do you know how painful it is to be excluded from every joke, every video, every conversation because others just Can't Be Bothered?
  • some people live in a conservative household or with family who don't share the same ideals, and they may not have privacy to view things on their own, so they may need to watch things with the volume extremely low or muted
  • We Want To Watch Videos In Public, Dammit

feel free to add on!

as always, ableism will get you blocked (:

a lot of people have been saying this, so I'll go ahead and add it:

  • having written words in front of you when the language they're speaking isn't your primary/native tongue is very helpful for comprehension and fluency
  • Not everyone is fluent in every language and sometimes accents can make it hard to understand what is being said

The closed captioning should also be CORRECT, for all the reasons listed above. My biggest pet peeve is when there IS captions, but they simplify the wording and language to make the captions shorter and end up changing the tone entirely. Don't do that! Just caption things accurately!

Waluigi the Bard with Bagpipes Kills with Music

We were on a broken ship that had 2 zombies on board, 1 was heavily damaged and the other wasn’t.

I asked the DM if I would be able to roll to kill the zombie with my deafening music, I would play the chorus of ‘Long Way To The Top’ directed at the target and he was so impressed with the idea that the zombie died from music!

No dice roll needed and this was dubbed the most creative kill in any of his sessions, it was “The perfect combo between stupid but really creative” and if this isn’t how you have fun, I’m not sure what is.

So.. like this?
