if you are distressed about not receiving a response from someone you'd like to be actively talking to, you have to take a moment. step back from the conversation, put yourself in their shoes. perhaps they're busy with something right now. you have to consider the possibility that maybe they hanging upside down by their ankle. everybody has their own schedule, and sometimes people spend time away from their phone or computer because they are currently suspended from a tree branch by a rope tied around their ankle that they unnoticingly stepped in because it was concealed by a pile of leafs. it's not that they don't want to respond; imagine that they can see their phone screen on the ground below but it's a good few inches out of reach and even if they bounce and flail on the branch their fingertips just can't touch it. sometimes life gets in the way

tumblr user wrenhavenriver this is the best idea I've ever heard

Family business

Both parties are clearly not the same. #VoteBlue

romeo and juliet?

more like steve and billy

We were feeling pretty chuffed about having the #6 trending post on this website until we saw number 7 was a Supernatural mpreg edit

Alrighty then

Yea that's fair

listen, they are never going to stop making star trek shows. So i know if i bide my time and wait like 10-20 years there will eventually be a star trek show where kirk and spock are a gay couple. there is only so long they can beat the gay spock allegations down with a stick thats all im saying.

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.

He thinks you’re really hot Billy

please no arguing in the comments

PSA: bot comments are taking over ao3

The above examples have been provided with the authors' permission to demonstrate what these look like.

Basic rundown:

Please spread the word about this so authors can filter comments and report them accordingly

There has been some speculation about why this is happening at all, and the best guess is that this is a feature that AI-training story-scraping tools are implementing to try and make their browsing traffic look legitimate

If wanting to avoid getting such comments, set your comments to "Registered Users Only" whenever you upload. You can also lock all your works to be read by registered users only.

If you have too many works to do that manually, on your Dashboard, go to "Edit Works" in the top right.

Select the little "All" button to checkmark all your works.

At the bottom, click "Edit."*

This opens the page where you can adjust basic settings for every work at once, like limiting who can comment, moderating comments, and/or locking your works.

And keep reporting any bot spam comments you find!

*Note this is also where and how you Orphan or Delete multiple works, so please be careful when making these selections!

Also here's the vid I mentioned abt men grunting and groaning in the bathroom

My third eye opened to the spirkverse

They are not as high-profile as the WGA, but I would like to bring everyone's attention to the imminent strike action by thousands of hotel workers in Los Angeles. They are set to go on strike tomorrow, July 1st, 2023.

More than 15,000 hotel workers are seeking higher pay, better benefits, and working conditions. This includes an across-the-board $5 an hour raise, as well as affordable healthcare and better pensions. They also are seeking a ban on the use of E-Verify, which is used to deny employment to undocumented workers and workers involved with the criminal justice system. You can follow what is happening at their Twitter.

Having your own personal blog is honestly quite a nice change of pace compared to Reddit. I could put a funny GIF of George Bush getting hit by a shoe on here and the worse case scenario is that no one even notices.

You put that on a big subreddit and you get your eyes gouged out and a heap of political discourse underneath your post.

YOU HEAR THAT EVERYONE??? I’M A LIL GECKO BOY
