the world has been unkind to you so you continue the cycle of unkindness by passing on hatred and indifference to others? Wow. groundbreaking. you’re so cool and tormented

I will be kinder than the world has been to me, in the hopes that kindness multiplies and flowers in places once barren and cracked by cruelty.

the oceangate situation is really funny but i do want to take a moment to look at the fact that five people of their own volition decide to go two miles under the sea in something controlled by a $30 xbox controller with no beacon or way to navigate, go missing, and immediately a massive search effort is underway with people anxiously combing the ocean for any sign of these chucklefucks, but the greek coast guard capsized a boat full of hundreds of migrants, killing 80 with over 500 people still counted as missing, and the eu won't even investigate

you can and should hate rich people, but you also need to show up for the oppressed

Can we please make the deep sea the next cool desirable “final frontier” pretty please. I want Elon Musk to design a horrible Tesla Brand submarine and go down to map the Mariana’s Trench for commercial development and watch it crumple like a tin can the second it reaches 200 meters

society's infantilization of decorated objects is honestly one of the greatest recent crimes against humans' innate desire for beauty

how am I ever supposed to leave tumblr when it takes me on journeys like this

Anonymous asked:

Why do u call yourself a transGIRL if you are over 18? That's pedophilic .

this one is always sooo funny to me, cause like ok, when some random cis woman calls herself or her friend a girl or something she's quirky and cool, but when a trans person calls themselves a girl or a boy we're suddenly pedophiles! hmmmm i wonder where that rhetoric comes from?

Reddit management threatening note to protesting moderators:

If I were a pro-protest subreddit member with sneaky intentions, here's what I would do:

I would get together with some other members and, after privately contacting the existing mod team to make sure they are on board, we would apply to be moderators. Then we would use this generous offer to become senior moderators and displace the protesting moderators like the scabs we are. Then we would reopen the sub.

Then, after a few hours to allow management to enjoy their victory, we would close it again.

After a couple of days, another band of clean-cut Company MenTM would step up and displace us. And then they would do it again.

I have faith in Redditors. They are the most thrawn of social media users. They can win this fight.

As a long-time Tumblr lurker and now an official Reddit refugee, I think it's fucking hilarious that Reddit corporate is trying to have mods overthrow each other to stop the virtual strike. They must have forgotten that Redditors once stopped real scabs from taking people's real jobs in real life. I remember when Redditors from ONE specific sub, r/antiwork, blocked million-dollar-company Kellog's from hiring scabs to run a factory, so they could ignore and eventually even fire union strikers.

A ridiculous amount of people spent HOURS spamming in fake applications. I remember someone eventually built a web scraping app to send in several dozens of fake applications a minute, and put it on github for folks to use. You could download it and let it run, and it sent hundreds of real-looking application submissions for the company to sort through. There were so many spam applications their whole website crashed, and Kellog's hired a specialist IT security team to quickly rebuild their application process to be activism-proof. And guess what? Redditors fuckin' wrecked that one too, all manually this time. And when breaking their systems started to prove ineffective, plots were made for folks who lived nearby the strike to physically go through interview processes without any intent to work, and waste their time on a physical HR level. All the while donations were gathered for the strikers and people were getting educated about their labor rights.

Those corporates are in for a fucking ride thinking they can win a pissing contest with people like that without suffering permanent losses of money and traffic. It's going to be delicious watching them get humbled.

hi my names tyler i’m a trans bi guy and i recently got kicked out by my physically abusive homophobic mother and am experiencing housing instability, because of this i had to move states with my two cats to stay with my partner and get a new job and currently i am only being scheduled twice or three times a week and my paycheck is mostly dependent on tips, as you can imagine it’s been incredibly stressful and i’ve been developing canker sores bc of it, something id get frequently while living with my abusive mother and they make it rlly hard to eat or drink

i just had to go to an urgent care visit that was 30 dollars copay and my insurance didn’t cover the medicine they prescribed so i had to pay 80 dollars out of pocket, if i could get any financial help i’d really appreciate it as i still need to fill my car tank this week and get more cat food, and unfortunately i’m only scheduled twice this week again and really don’t want to reach into my savings bc i am in the process of attempting to get secure housing, i have a gofundme post with a more detailed explanation of events if needed, anything is appreciated i would’ve held off on getting my prescription but i’m in a lot of pain rn sorry, happy pride month and thank you !

happy juneteenth just giving this a final boost until i’m working again, thankuuu again for any help given!

Scientific fraud is the most baffling thing ever to me like do they think they're just going to make a huge breakthrough and no one will notice that it's fake by trying to replicate their results

Yeah actually I just discovered how to turn plastic into gold. Oh you want to know how I did it

obligatory welcome guide for redditors

A lot of the guides I've seen don't actually seem to understand how reddit works in comparison to tumblr so

  • your blog is basically your own small subreddit. some people curate this heavily to fit a theme, like a sub, most people don't
  • reblogs are culturally equivilant to upvotes but functionally equvilant to crossposting
  • there is an algorithm. it sucks and nobody uses it. turn it off in settings. everything is generally chronological
  • likes are functionally equivilant to saving a post
  • you've probably already seen this but change your icon and put something in your bio or people WILL assume you're a bot. personal info not required
  • generally, anything you would put as a comment on a thread should go in the tags or the replies of a post. only add comments in reblogs if you want it to become part of the base post
  • tags are mostly equivilant to flairs, used for organization and commentary
  • your dashboard is an aggregation of everyone you follow
  • there is an r/all equivilant(trending page) but it sucks and nobody uses it
  • our search also sucks. your best bet is using tumblr.com/tagged/[TAG] and not /search
  • there are no mods
  • by extension, reporting something doesn't put it in front of the mods, it sends it to staff, who may or may not do anything(usually they don't)
  • there is no karma, there are no karma limits. anyone can reblog anything, comment/reply to anything, or post in any tag
  • "reposting"(reblogging) old content doesn't matter. people can and will reblog the same post multiple times, including in a row
  • CAVEAT. reposting someones art(NOT reblogging, making a new post) is a dick move. i know this is commonplace on fandom subs but its not necessary here. everything you post should be [OC] unless you are reblogging. or posting shitty memes
  • we have our own sitelore, you'll pick it up
  • (though im not opposed to bringing some over from reddit)
  • our app also sucks. we do not have third party apps and any that claim to be are scams. sorry
  • for desktop, most people use the XKit Rewritten extension for QoL improvements and to revert shitty aesthetic updates, much like old.reddit
  • we have no idea where the porn rules are at either. add a mature content flag to anything you'd get fired for looking at at work, that's about it

finally, from the bottom of my heart, fuck u/spez
