i know everyone on here is so obsessed with the moon, but have you ever thought about the earth and its beautiful colors shining so bright in an otherwise so deep darkness?

Oh yeah, uh, this new desktop version of Tumblr sucks.

...well, okay, it's not AWFUL. I guess it'll take some getting used to but I do hate how it kind of feels very Twitter-y.

i could get used to it but i dislike it on principle. there was truly nothing wrong with the old desktop layout, the only reason they did this is to make it homogeneous with soulless social media platforms

No no I hate it

seeing certain mutuals on the dash like thank god you’re here. i missed you.

not enough secret gardens and hidden passageways and bookshelves that open to a mysterious library these days. get working on that girls.

Promise?

european whose defining personality trait is antagonizing americans: ohohoho! the american is angry that i've called him a yank! he must be upset that i've so thoroughly discarded his opinion based on his nation's propensity for ignorance! i've truly proven i can "banter" with the best of them, this calls for a soyjak!

the american in question: why the fuck is this dumbass calling me a yankee when i'm from lousiana?

The thing about bugs bunny is that he lives and dies by his bits. He’s fully capable of killing you if he wanted, but the thing is, not only is he a nice guy, he’s a funny guy. To beat bugs bunny, many people assume that you just have to not fall for the jokes. If he hits you with a pie, you don’t flinch, and eventually you’ll ware him down. The issue is, misery will only last you so long. There’s only so much bits to endure before it becomes funny. And whoever is getting laughed at is losing. Instead, to kill bugs bunny, you have to beat him at his own game. When he throws a pie, don’t try to sidestep or be a sourpuss, that’s playing into his hands. Instead, you comically open your mouth and swallow it whole. This is how you kill a god.

Not in the fucking slightest ^_^

To defeat Bugs Bunny you must become him

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

This is a scheduled post for two days before the anniversary of the moon landing. Please get your moon themed items and foods sorted now in anticipation.

THURSDAY BABY

one day, someone will consistently show up for you and you'll realise what safety feels like.

IT’S SWEET FAT OF THE HOG TUESDAY!!

humanity in like 20 years is going to be looking back after the collapse of the modern internet and thinking "seems like the whole global computer network algorithm designed to control everyone and everything and became everything, and the culture based on letting it feed you your entire experience of reality wasnt actually a good idea. i guess we'll just use computers for like some stuff...... sometimes.... every now and then"

This is why no one takes anti-gun people seriously. Thanks though, I always applaud you guys for consistently playing yourselves.

Will it ever stop

All of the Hogwarts students were armed, and rather than rely upon the government to protect them, they defended themselves against those who came to their school seeking to harm them.

@libertybill it won’t stop.

The solution isn’t to wish for it to end, it’s to do it better than they do.

Reminder that, as the Battle of Hogwarts was happening, the Death Eaters were in control of the government. Dolores Umbridge was never a Death Eater. She was just a Ministry official doing her job.

Which of these would you rather see on your dash?

Hey @staff. This is a perfect example of why collapsed reblogs is such a bad idea. Seeing the full thread, you go like this: 😮 ooh, that's cool 😀 "they're free," hehe! 🤣 "16 cents," perfection!!

I have achieved joy, I feel positive feelings toward Tumblr, I want to engage, I want to stay, my eyeballs land on more ads, you make more money, everyone wins! 🎉

Seeing the collapsed thread, you go like this:

😮 ooh, that's cool 😐 "16 cents"? yes, that's literally what the pic shows, not sure why you felt the need to say that

There is no motivation for me to uncollapse the reblog chain—it looks like a boring conversation about the denominations of coins. And even if I do uncollapse it, you've ruined the joke by showing me the punchline before the setup. I am sad, Tumblr is boring, I go elsewhere to entertain myself, I see less ads, you make less money, everyone loses. 😥

Reblog chains are the best thing about Tumblr. They are your unique super power. They are the thing that makes people screenshot Tumblr and share it around. Why on earth would you kneecap them??

I don't know exactly how you plan to implement this. Give people the option to keep them collapsed if there truly are people who are annoyed by how long they can get (you already have a version of this feature), but don't collapse them for everyone or new users by default. Please. It will make Tumblr so much more boring.

@staff

@staff

I see this across the political spectrum and I have to ask why? Why do so many people want death? Why even entertain a future where you’re condemned to death as a positive outcome? I remember seeing a natsoc with indigenous ancestry voice similar desires and it broke my heart. Who are you doing this for? Who convinced you that your existence is an obstacle to utopia? How could any fetish be so stimulating that you would be willing to sacrifice every tomorrow? It’s sick.

It's typical Christian martyr idealism.

This has nothing to do with Christianity.

Why do I keep encountering youth pastor tumblr

Anyway, it has everything to do with Christianity. You bitches are all about sacrifice, martyrism, all that death cult bullshit. Christianity infects and rots cultures, so a lot of people are influenced by it without realizing it. It's an influence that requires active thought and effort to purge.

"These two communists being delusional is the fault of Christianity!" Yeah, that's about the level of intellect I'd expect from the side that lost the cold war.

>#btw#your “this evil thing is both incredibly strong and incredibly weak at the same time” rhetoric is cribbing hard from fascism#horseshoe theory

It’s standard propaganda and ideological thinking, really. The target is whatever they need to be for any given claim. Sometimes down to the sentence fragment.

Not coincidentally, this mindset is also shared by many abusers.
