my home away from home (rbing sideblog of oreowiskers/ angelogistics)

me: yeah so a few years ago someone invented infinite scrolling and really it was a terrible idea

the elf I just hooked up with, taking the lavender and honeysuckle lollipop from their mouth: An infinite scroll... most elfmaidens learn to enchant a scroll to never end before they're a mere 300 years old. It saves on paper.

me: oh see that's just writing, with social media it's really bad, it just leads to people doomscrolling all day

the elf I just hooked up with, spluttering and panicked: The Doomscroll! Be silent human, thou shoulds't not speak the name of that fell parchment

me: oh so you get it

The doodle was initial sketch and then I went for first aradia pass but I felt it was too similar that hot demon lady comic with the white blob guy comic hairstyle. Can’t remember the name.I know I could fix some things but my eyes are doing the Zoloft blurry sideeffect so I’m sending it off u_u

silly character idea: a granddaughter of octavio who wants to be a dj too but all she does is nightcore-ifies his music

[chillyfeetsteak]

my mom told me this story tonight about my grandfather. she said when he was a little boy he was afraid robbers would break into his house in the middle of the night and try to abduct him out of his bed. he thought that they would be able to feel that he was the shape of a little boy under the covers and know to grab him. so he would try to fall asleep in the shape of a letter of the alphabet. so that they would feel for him and be like "oh it's just the letter R, not a kidnappable child"

[antigoneprogone]

Here's something I think is fun - what do you most associate with all of the letters of the alphabet in math? It doesn't really matter if you think of the letters as being uppercase or lowercase. Here's what I think:

a, b - the Pythagorean Theorem

c - a scalar

d - differentiation

e - Euler's number

f, g, h - functions

i - the imaginary number

j - a quaternion

k - a scalar, but specifically when it's an integer

L - the Laplace transformation of a function

m, n - variables, but specifically when they're integers

O - Big O notation

p, q, r - Boolean variables

S - a set

t - parametric equations

U, V - more sets

w, x, y, z - all variables

[catboybrain]

a, b - arbitrary constants

c - THE arbitrary constant

d - delta

e - e

f - function, g - function

h - step size (but only bc im in num analys rn)

i - i

j - index on a summation

k - the other arbitrary constant

l - shitty dl from physics

m - min max i guess? i don't see a lot of m

n - indexer for recursion

o - "not" like x_o

p - pt

q - momentum

r - radius/ polar coordinate r

s - ds

t - parameterizer

u - u1u2 curves, so other parameterizer

v - vector

w - ..second vector

x y z - cartesian coords

So I'm trying to make folk linen pants from sowing to sewing.

Second post (here's first)

It's been about 60 days since sowing (it's 22nd of June). It's looking so pretty and started blooming about 55th day. I've been watering it one or two wheelbarrows of every 2 weeks, which I thought would be too little but it's growing pretty good. It's still not that high (about over the knee) and I doubt it'll get much higher sadly. That means lower grade of fibers but whatever. It'll be fine.

Every now and again there are parts laying down and I've been seeing some hares running about so they probably hide in it tramping down the plants. But it gets up no problem so all good. Maybe next time I'll put up a little fence around it.

Also idk when should I harvest it bc all the info is about oil flax, not textile flax, and even then it's contradictory sometimes. But either way it's around 100-120th day, so we're still only halfway.

Next up I need to start thinking about scuthing it, and it requires some equipment. But it's easy enough to build on my own probably. It should be something like this flax-brake:

And then this kind of metal comb, which I'll make just by densly putting nails in a blank:

So yeah, that's the plans for the near future. Here's a bonus flax video if you stayed till the end ❤️

[catboybrain]

honestly so glad they pulled that terrible move because it's gonna get me to leave here <3

still gonna be moving to rss so im gonna follow artists i like but i will . not be active on here hopefully going forward. ill be on my site on neoc primarily if you want to follow the things i do! <3

[ohcorny]

update that is gonna make artists start blocking people who comment so they can't take their notes

[ohcorny]

content aggregator blogs that just comment with three flower emojis and somehow rack up thousands more notes than OP. 16-22 year old fandom artists putting COMMENTERS DNI in their bio and COMMENT IN TAGS at the bottom of their posts. hapless i-check-tumblr-once-a-week users commenting on a reblog and getting their inboxes full of scolding. people making multiple single-posts instead of reblogging their own posts to continue a thought.

the culture of this place is gonna get so fucked. PVP enabled website.

Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.

This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!

[changes]

It’s very clear that you all have strong feelings about Tumblr and about this change. We hear you. The passion people have for how Tumblr works is one of the things that makes this place special.

As this rolls out over the next few days and you explore it, we’ll keep reading your replies and reblogs, so please keep sharing your questions, concerns, and ideas.

Your creativity has always been the heart of Tumblr, whether you’re the original poster or adding something brilliant in the reblogs, and nothing about this change is meant to limit that.

If you’d like to talk directly beyond the comments, leave a reply and we’ll follow up with as many of you as we can. We want to work with you to make Tumblr better.

[icannotgetoverbirds]

hey folks do we like this. reblog without commentary for reach

do we want this?

yes

no

Interesting.

Under the new post model, flagging a thread's root post as non-rebloggable affects only the root post and any reblogs without comments; reblogs with comments which were made before the root post was made non-rebloggable now remain rebloggable, regardless of the root post's settings.

Further, there doesn't seem to be any mechanism at all for flagging a reblog with comments as non-rebloggable, not even by the reblog's own author; the upshot is that any post that's been reblogged with a comment even once effectively cannot be made non-rebloggable at all.

Between this and rendering nearly all non-first-order reblogs with comments undiscoverable to the author of the original post, I imagine harassment campaigns are going to have a field day!

[phantomrose96]

Griping continues: I LOVE when I find a post that so deeply resonates with me and I have a deep and genuine "Amazing post OP! Yes and yes and yes and--" and now I can't "Yes and" without stealing ALL the note engagement from my reblog onward??

No more engaging with OP? No more building up a communal post? No more stupid funny back-and-forth posts without bearing the stink that every person commenting is stealing the notes and the tags and compliments and the thoughts?

I have to shut up on everyone else's posts now. You all have to shut up on mine. I hate that!!! I like to talk and I like when yall fucking talk to me.

Everyone mumble in the tags forever I guess. Anyone who adds a comment unthinkingly gets shot in the street.

[phantomrose96]

And like. One or the other has to win, right, if they do this? Either it's "No Reblog Chains Forever" or "Wanton Note Stealing Forever." Which one sucks less? Is it sadder to kill all conversation before it happens out of respect and consideration, or to go "Ah OP I love this post and have all these thoughts to tell you. Sorry that doing this is stealing the notes. Sorry. I wish it wasn't."

Do you just create a website of split opinions? Commenters who are wincing while doing it but genuinely want to express community and engagement, and OPs watching them with hostile disdain for stealing the fucking post?

[phantomrose96]

I DID IN FACT JUST NOTICE THIS. WITH THIS POST.

MY REBLOG STOLE MY OWN FUCKING ENGAGEMENT. WHERE DO I CHECK THE NOTES ON THIS NOW 3-PART POST? FUCK ALL IF I KNOW

[parasitoidism]

posts that have 10k notes if you take the time to add up the number of likes, replies and reblogs across 4 different sub-posts to me

[lizardsmp3]

i'm gonna keep it real with u guys i don't think we're ever becoming the new pdf like this

[boccher]

[cryptotheism]

Seeing the update in full function, and speaking as someone that relies on this website to promote my work and pay my bills, here are my thoughts:

This update makes me extremely anxious. It is now more difficult than ever to track who is interacting with my posts. I've dealt with stalking and harassment on this website for years, and the idea that the people stalking me can reblog my posts without my knowing makes me want to significantly reduce my presence here.

Additionally, it undercuts one of the core aspects of why I use this website. As an amateur edutainment writer, I love that people can ask me questions, and I can respond with essay-length reblogs. Under the new system, if a post leaves my orbit, I have no way of tracking it. Are people confused? Angry? Maliciously misinterpreting? Having fun? I can't know.

I have a prediction: The ability to interact with posts undetected will embolden this websites most malicious and toxic users. If this change is not reverted, the user base will become steadily worse until the platform becomes unuseable.

[thatlittleegyptologist]

Since some of you don't seem to understand how this 'new notes' thing works, I'll break it down:

I'm the OP. I'm making this post. If you like, comment, reblog (without comment) on this post, then I'm the one who will see all those notes in my activity page.

However...

If you reblog (with comment), I will get a notification that you did that, but any likes/comments/reblogs (without comment) you get on that reblog will only be shown to you. As OP I won't see them.

If someone adds a reblog (with comment) to your reblog...as OP I won't see that. I won't see any of those notes in my activity page.

Basically, if someone with a large following makes a comment, then they will get all the notes and OP will see nothing. If OP has said something silly because they're, y'know, 21 and it happens, and then someone reblogs it onto the dash of someone with a large following who then dunks on them for fun? OP doesn't see it, doesn't get notes for it, but they're gonna get the harrassment for it in their inbox.

If I, someone with a 5 digit follower count, reblog something to correct misinformation on Ancient Egypt, then OP will never see it unless it was on the original post, but I will continue to get notes on that post even though it's not my post. If I reblog fanart, or just art in general, with a comment like 'Oh this is so lovely!' then OP will not see any of the notes from people reblogging it from me. They'll only see my reblog. So it's possible for an art post by someone else to have 200 notes for them, but 9000 for someone who reblogs it with a comment, and the OP artist will have no idea it's been seen by that many people.

It's killing blow to the community we've built here, by someone higher up who doesn't understand that being able to see all the comments and reblogs is what makes this site the place I keep coming back to.

That's what sucks.

I encourage people to go to tumblr's support page, select contact support, and then in the dropdown menu select 'Feedback' and leave polite and constructive feedback (for those of you who enjoy 'emails worded politely but are a strong 'are you an idiot?', try that way of wording it). They're more likely to listen to you if you're not an asshole about it. I've already gone and done this, and I hope others will too.

[blessdunrest-deactivated2026042]

Hey OP, thank you explaining this for us. I'd like to also add to please submit all feedback by commenting on tumblr's CHANGES sideblog (link below). based on the tumblr support email i just received and many others have already received, tumblr engineers are monitoring their feedback more closely there.

You can access it here.

Please.

We need all the feedback we can. Support tickets, reblogs, but most importantly THE CHANGES SIDE BLOG.
