My emotions about space travel, and the history of, are strong today.

Okay aside from the inherent coolness of seeing a rocket launch from an airline flight, this is an awesome shot because it gives a sense of perspective on just how fast that vehicle is going that ground-based filming can't usually achieve.

And that's still early in the burn, so it's only a tiny fraction of orbital speed.

i started reading this book and kept tilting my head at the comparisons the author was using so i started a running list of them

this author's use of imagery is so questionable

i actually went "what the fuck" and had to stop for like 5 minutes after this one

We meant it. Let's work together

This place matters, and our goal is to keep Tumblr thriving for a long time. That means Tumblr has to keep evolving. There are things we know could be better. You probably have a list too. Some of it will be easy to fix. Some won't. That's exactly why we want to work with you.

The Tumblr User Panel will be a group of people on Tumblr who'll work with us over time to give feedback on how this place works today and where it's going. We know we have to earn your trust, and we want to change how we build features and include you more in the process. We’re looking forward to shaping this together.

If you're interested in joining: https://tumblr.survey.fm/tumblr-user-panel-interest-survey

Here's what you probably want to know:

Why a panel instead of just listening to everyone?

We won’t stop reading tags, comments, reblogs, and support tickets, but a panel helps us paint a more complete picture before we build, and go deeper than a reblog thread allows.

Who are you looking for?

A mix of experience levels, devices, countries, posting habits. People who've been here a decade and people who showed up last month.

Will everyone who fills out the survey get in?

No. We're keeping it small enough to have real conversations. If you're not selected, it's because we're balancing across a lot of dimensions, not because your response wasn't good enough. We may expand or rotate members over time.

Will critical feedback affect my account?

No! We want your feedback and criticism, and that will never result in any action against your account.

Can I leave?

Whenever you want. No penalties.

Questions before filling out the survey? Leave a comment.

"We're gonna go ahead with that panel of prominent users you all told us was a bad idea," sure is a way to show us you're listening to feedback.

If I ever share anything that was AI generated it is purely by accident. I hate that it's getting harder and harder to tell and it makes me want to never use the internet again. It definitely had its faults, but man I miss the internet of the 2000s so much.

Btw keep reblogging my post with fun tags and keep using your tagging system as it was intended, idc what that fuckass update say, we gonna make tumblr roll that shit back

spicyvampire

But let's be clear, this is clearly some corporate speak for "we gonna force that bullshit on you someway somehow anyways" we will have to be more vigilant about tumblr constantly fucking with the reblog feature, them adding a goddamn menu button for reblogs on desktop was only the start, it genuinely feels like these people don't use tumblr or their main social media is twitter because they are constantly trying to shit all over the best tumblr features to make it more like fucking twitter, the battle might have been won but the war continues

spicyvampire

When I told you the battle has been won but the war continues this is what I meant, tumblr has rolled out once again this very exact same updated but this time it only affects the least protected users of this website aka the gifmakers, edits makers, artists and creators of all sorts, because not only is every reblog of a gifset it's own post, but now every reblog of a gifset can get flagged without OP even being aware of it

They get flagged on your blog AND in your queue, and sometimes you can't even tell what the fuck was even in the post so you can give a justification for asking an appeal

And if you aren't scrolling your own blog or queue constantly like a maniac, you won't even know the reblog is flagged cuz they get put in your Review Flagged Posts section of your app and website, somewhere NOBODY even checks, and has no number next to it to tell you how many posts are in there

I got reblogs flagged all the way to 2017 in there, and the only way to know is to SCROLL DOWN

And the cherry on that bullshit Sunday is that some of these reblogs can be flagged without you even being able to appeal them like I have a bunch of them which are simply impossible to appeal, even if yet again the post is completely innocent

Tumblr seemingly continues to find new and original ways to make this place absolutely worst for creators by taking any & all agency you got on your creation away, and they fucking hiding it behind their April fools green cat
