I am going to assume that most people have heard of the crab day proposal by now but if you haven't;

Crab day is an event proposed by tumblr users wherein we buy and gift dashboard crabs on the 29th of July as a concentrated effort to get staff to at least listen to us about how we're willing to spend our money on this webbed site. It will not, as originally stated, erase tumblr's debt as that is A Lot of money and I don't about you but I personally have very little perspective on the cost of running a large media company but I'm pretty sure it's not that simple.

That being said it is essentially three things; 1) a donation drive, to keep the site running and show support for the things we actually like, 2) an attention-grabbing stunt, to bring notice to the users that are the actual lifeblood of tumblr and to tell staff a little louder that the other things they are doing and planning are stupid and we don't want them, and 3) a show of solidarity among users. We're here for tumblr. Not for a twitter clone, not for a tiktok substitute, and not for paywalled features.

i think that every child should have unrestricted access to thick blackberry brambles or some other delicious fruit that grows encased in a painful fortress. i think wading through thorns to reach the cluster of shining ripe berries you spied through a gap between the tangled vines teaches you something important. not sure what though

i just know no fruit has ever tasted as sweet as the ones i ate while bleeding under the blistering summer sun

After the third or fourth one I started to think someone was just doing this on purpose.

Some of these are so neat that I’ve a feeling they were done accidentally-on-purpose.  :->

Hey uh brand new addition

"A ship can never truly love an anchor." dude shut up. a ship without an anchor gets dashed against the rocks. it's useless, completely at the whim of the currents. a ship loves an anchor so much it carries it everywhere it goes. the anchor gives the ship the world to love. dude.

Hey, could you do me a favor?

The little RB statistics chart is so pleasant and stimmy to look at and I want to see what it looks like when it gets really REALLY huge because it makes me think of some deep sea lifeform

I relate to this animal more than I ever thought possible.
