do y’all remember before direct messages tumblr had a dumbass ask limit of 10 per hour and communication was impossible until they introduced dumbass fan mail and we were basically sending telegraphs back in forth trying to communicate those were…dark times

Do y'all remember when they finally gave us direct messages and instead of doing it normally, they gave it to a few people at a time and we had to infect each other with it like a virus

[piedude]

[abandonrun]

remember when any post with more than like 6 people talking was unreadably smushed except for the last few additions remember when any post of over 500 characters became a link back to op’s blog readmore style remember when video and audio posts had about a 10% chance of working when you click play

[curseofsisyphus]

As a recent user I love finding out shit like this from older users. What the fuck guys???? Why were you USING IT AT ALL?!??

[dono-harm-totonystark]

believe it or not, we liked that more

[thefloralpeach]

its worth noting that immediately after these updates that made everything better, we were all angry about it

[nat-20s]

Having zero emotional object permanence is so funny your therapist asks how your week was and you're just like "girl I have no idea"

[ja-khajay]

all these posts about people clutching their pearls about seeing bare titties at pride make me laugh because at last year's pride i met a cishet guy who had no idea what was going on and had joined because he saw bare titties and thought "those people look like they are having fun, and also i can see tits for free" and he asked me about what was happening and let me explain LGBT struggles for some time before telling me he had a transgender cousin and he was going to make sure to be there for her in the future. bare tits will be the beacon to world peace

[lesboevils]

idk im really tired of 15-17 year olds who have never interacted with the gay community irl and spend too much time on tiktok trying to act like the authority on all that is lgbt+ 

[lesboevils]

  mean this in the kindest possible way. if you are too young and unsafe to go to your gay community center or pride here’s some ways you can connect to gay history.

Hey, since pride months coming up soon, I wanted to remind everyone that terf and exclusionist circles will try to cause a controversy online like they do every year– be it a "new more inclusive flag" for an already existing identity and accuse the original of bigotry, (just last year, we had a "new" pan flag made by terfs because the maker of the original flag supported he/him lesbians) starting hate campaigns against certain identities, etc– they will pretend to be concerned little lgbt+ members and they will pretend to be victims to make us believe them and segregate online queer communities.

They will do this on pride month specifically because that is when queerness is more talked about and celebrated, thus giving them more attention if they come out with a (albeit fake) bigotry accusation.

Be aware of them. If any sexuality's or its flag's legitimacy and inclusivity is being questioned by the masses; do research before you follow what you see on your dash, on an instagram info presentation being reposted, or on a carrd link. (All of which can & are made by anonymous people you don't know the motivations of.)

Because no matter how smart you are, you might be following a crypto-terf (terf who hides their beliefs to get non-terfs to agree to their ideology in more subconscious ways) without knowing and if you are, they– and sadly the queer people they can trick– will be putting their fake facades on your social media.

Again. Do your research. Don't blindly believe an account's words just because you've followed them for a while. Be aware.

weird anti ideology finally leaking out into the mainstream

[vaspider]

I'm so exhausted by all of this.

[3liza]

me, patiently: the Tumblr porn ban was not a voluntary choice by the company itself because they hate sex workers and gays, it was a gun-to-their-head response to FOSTA-SESTA and the alternative was shutting down operations or getting sued/fined into oblivion. twitter and reddit can afford the lawyers and moderation and other nonsense required to operate under FOSTA-SESTA with porn on the table. Tumblr doesn't have that kind of operating budget. all the other sites that don't have that kind of money had to make the same changes. Craigslist personals and most of the Gigs and Community sections are almost impossible to post on now because of the same changes and lack of budget. i don't care about defending individual companies against accusations of wrongdoing, im saying you need to understand why these things happen and who the real enemy is if you're ever going to get anything done

a 20 year old who has never been tear gassed: why do you, personally, eliza, hate gay people

[princesscas]

You know the whole reason why I haven’t left Tumblr after all these years is because this site is so introvert friendly.

I don’t have the attention span or much less the strength to keep up with Discord conventions (bc apparently fandom is more in Discord these days?? I am not a talkative person to even take part in a group chat *shivers*) or follow with whatever’s going down on Twitter.

I can come on here, make a post into the void and reblog a bunch of posts then ramble in the tags. It’s great. You don’t have to be a person here, you can be a faceless blog and have a grand old time.

[crownquill]

I made a what the fandom thinks of you generator

I don’t like this story

[tista-bie]

what are the fucking chances of this exact situation happening

[leopardheart-deactivated2023022]

how to save a life by the fray, wonderwall by oasis, creep by radiohead, viva la vida by coldplay, lazarus by porcupine tree, numb by linkin park and bittersweet symphony by the verve. None of them are the same genre but somehow. They are united by a mood. A movement. A phase of memory. You had to be there (middle school)

[fellshish]

@ fic authors what do you personally consider a successful fic? What’s the bar?

[sherl-grey]

actually writing the fic down

the best trope in media is: “characters turn on the lights, see the monster, and immediately turn the lights back off”

i love torturing myself with fictional characters just to make sure i can still access depth of feeling. i love being normal.

nothing sexier than that picture with the italian players on top of eachother after the win and the english ones going through the 5 stages of grief in the back
