oh BTW y'all I made a sideblog exclusively for things that make me happy. no politics or nothin. and prolly gonna keep the gender stuff here tbh. but so yeah, exclusively fun stuff over at @monochromanticore!
(btw you won't get double posts by following both. reblogs generally go to either one blog or the other)

"well I'm afab and I have to take estrogen so I'm transfem" damn! I guess menopausal cis women are transfem now! I sure am glad they're some of our biggest political allies! right?
I dropped my phone in the shower and the water opened up instagram and changed my fucking PRONOUNS?????

Hey uh brand new addition
i think tumblr urls in the old superwholock fandom style are like those old household appliances that got discontinued because they had asbestos or uranium or whatever in them - maybe you have a beloved cousin or old high school friend who still has a dean-and-loki-in-the-tardis and sure it's not great but what are you gonna do, make them get rid of it? come on, that's katie's url, she's had it forever, it's fine. but if you find someone that has a brand new castieldrinkingteawithsherlock then something dark is afoot. they have regulations against making any more of those. you should be able to cut tumblr users open and count their rings like trees. i bet some of you got horny reading that last sentence
WAIT HOW'D YOU DO GIF ICON
It's webp (derogatory) (it no longer works)
isnt webp that one cardi b song?
Girl what the fuck is going on in tumblr offices right now to let the decisions they just dropped be made
To the executive who made the decision and the RND staff that told said exec to make that decision: the only reason you’re winning the race right now is because you’re the tortoise. Don’t be the fucking hare.
“Valley what the fuck are you talking about”
Today, tumblr staff posted a very long announcement on their blog, which you can find here.
It’s a long post that’s pretty hard to read, mostly because the entire thing reads like the writer was held at gunpoint by the zuck himself. (To the poor staff member who had to write this shitshow, I’m so sorry, may you get a raise for your efforts) Here are some of the main points:
TL;DR: Tumblr is attempting to catch up with other social medias by becoming more like Twitter, even though the whole reason they had a massive influx of users recently was because of their lack of invasive, intrusive and vile business practices to sell themself.
Needless to say, people are fucking pissed. A lot of this is the exact opposite of what tumblr users want, and feels like the thing that’ll make this site finally crash and burn alongside the others. Which is terrifying!
So if staff are reading this, I’m gonna repeat my statement: the singular reason your site ended up being refuge in this time of dying socials is because the bar is in hell, and you barely jumped it by not having the bells and whistles that everyone’s tired of. Don’t trip while you’re still ahead.
the transgender experience of seeing a fictional character undergo an extremely painful but rapid transformation like growing and twisting into an enormous wolflike beast or having wings burst bloodily from their back and going god i wish that were me
the desire to not just change but be transformed into something else that is visibly different but still you. the need for that change to be something undeniable that you cannot simply look away from or pretend to ignore.
sorry for rebloggging so many pictures its just that i like these pictures
the "tumblr is hard to use 🥺" comment from staff is so funny bc like. its not untrue. but the solution isnt to make everything algorithmic, its to stop hiding the FAQ pages deep inside the site. just like. explain shit to new users. a concept. also obviously just fix the search function
I am shaking my fellow solarpunks by the shoulders, if Ron DeSantis becomes president people are gonna die. People are gonna get killed. Here and overseas. I feel it in my bones. And if you’re ‘fortunate’ enough to live quality of life is going to be dropping way low in the US if you aren’t some rich millionaire or billionaire who also happens to not be a person of color or queer in any way.
Does the system need a major overhaul/overthrow? Absolutely! But until we get there I swear PLEASE keep that man out of the oval office, he’s unhinged enough as just governor—as much as some of yall make fun of Southerners for being dumb and stupid and racist? Hoo buddy, you don’t wanna deal with what we gotta deal with after a level up like that.
Sincerely, A Floridian
Barnes and Noble booksellers are working on forming a union as well!
Their flagship store and New York has unionized along with 3-4 other stores! This is happening! People are tired of being seen as dollar signs and being made to work just to get to work more, to survive instead of thrive. Keep it UP.
