Formerly jambos6 / baccalonious / baccal0nius

mid-30s | PNW | queer | pronoun-agnostic | happily married | occasionally NSFW (tagged #oops) | I've been on tumblr since 2009 as jambos6 but got nuked 3 times in one weekend in November 2022 

[baccalonious]

So I made a sideblog earlier today, and after reblogging a handful of posts to the sideblog I got an authentication error, and upon logging back in I got a notice that my account was terminated. No warning, and (so far) no reason given, though I submitted the form to ask why.

This hellsite is really the only social media I’ve been using for the last ~2 years, so I couldn’t stay away. Hopefully I can find my old mutuals from when I was @jambos6!

[baccalon1us]

It fuckin’ happened again! Still no word from @staff or @support as to why my blogs keep getting terminated without warning.

Since 13+ years of @jambos6 was unceremoniously nuked from the site on Friday I’ve recreated as @baccalonious, @baccal0nius, and now finally @baccalon1us in an attempt to keep using everyone’s favorite blue hellsite. If it happens again, it may be time for me to give up social media for good and just become a hermit.

you are good even when you feel like you’ll never measure up to being an adult.

It takes work to curate your online spaces, but if you don't do it, corporations will do it for you using a couple harmful key principles. 1) Negative emotions hold your attention better than positive emotions. 2) Calm/contented people are less likely to spend money.

[queeranarchism]

Curate your online spaces starter pack:

Blacklist, block and mute at will. You don’t owe anybody anything.

Turn off those notifications.

Decide when you log on. Don’t use social media at breakfast if it will stress you out all day. Don’t use it before you go to bed if it will keep you up. Find a fun ritual to replace it, like a video game or craft thing.

Consider which platform allows you to avoid topics that upset you. For example: tumblr is kinda shit for fan fiction because everything ends up in the same tag. The older forum-style platforms are much better for finding content you enjoy and avoiding content you don’t.

Leave online communities that don’t spark joy. You don’t need to stay in a place where everyone is always fighting. You don’t need to stay in communities where you are afraid to speak your mind or to make mistakes.

Ask yourself: could this ‘debate’ also be a conversation instead? Don’t debate people who seek debate to upset you. Don’t debate people who seek debate to get an audience for bigotry. Don’t debate people who seek debate to win instead of to learn. Don’t debate people who do not acknowledge your humanity.

Repeat to yourself: doomscrolling is not activism. Nothing in the world gets better just because you read, liked and reblogged posts about how terrible things are. 

[Tweet by Kingfisher & Wombat @UrsulaV: “O best beloved, if you are doomscrolling Twitter today, ask yourself if there is anything you can personally do. If there is, do it. If there isn’t, remember that anxiety is not activism. Your misery does not improve the world a single iota.”]

If @staff and @staffs-secret-blog both have the same number of checks, HOW I CAN KNOW WHICH ONE IS THE LEGIT ONE

[staffs-secret-blog]

Aw man does this mean I have to buy more checkmarks to be the true official legitimate™ staff

[cryptotheism]

You're getting so much mileage out of "but a secret third thing"

Listen, when a 2000 year old magical concept becomes a meme, I would be remiss to not juice it to death.

I need people to stop blaming the death of movies on “quips”. A quip is just a funny line of dialogue. That’s all. Like I just saw a post talking about quips and the death of movies and brought up Pirates of the Caribbean as an example of a better movie and yes it is but also that movie is FULL OF QUIPS. I just rewatched The Princess Bride. It’s all quips. Every single line. And it’s a masterpiece.

Movies suck when people don’t care about the art they’re making. That includes them not caring about their quips. Which is why a lot of comic relief dialogue ALSO sucks now. But the problem isn’t that funny dialogue exists.

[kurozu501]

#it’s not the quips it’s the complete and utter fear of showing any kind of sincerity#honestly it’s almost the equivalent of saying ‘no homo’ after a moment of being genuine

[headspace-hotel]

The Princess Bride is almost all quips, but it’s all sincerity. Every aspect of the plot is ridiculous and yet no movie dialogue has ever gone as hard as “I want my father back, you son of a bitch”
