ITS APRIL 13 YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS
FETCH ME NEIL
HAPPY BIG TWENTY NEIL
everybody here's my tiny crochet coelacanth <3
STOP FOR A SECOND. A SISTER IS WRITING THIS WHILE HER SISTER IS BLEEDING.
My sister is lying beside me, too weak to cry loudly anymore, and I am terrified of what tonight might bring.
This morning I tried to clean my sister’s wound again.
She held my hand tightly and whispered, “Please don’t let me die.”
No one should ever have to say those words.
Her condition is getting worse every day, and without treatment the infection keeps spreading through her body.
Please donate now. Your support could help save my sister before it is too late.

The Death of the Digital Ecosystem: Why Decoupling Notes Destroys Tumblr
@staff
For years, the total note count on a post served as a universal metric of a piece of content's impact. Whether a user liked the original post or a reblog fifteen branches deep, that engagement flowed back to the source. This ensured that the original artist, writer, or editor received the full credit for the viral success of their work.
Under this new system, engagement is trapped within the specific reblog a user happens to see on their dashboard. If a massive, high-traffic blog reblogs a piece of art from a small creator, every like and reblog that occurs through that larger account stays with them. The original creator is left with a stagnant note count on their own dashboard while their work generates thousands of interactions for someone else.
Erasure of Creator Visibility
Instead of seeing one post with 10,000 notes, a creator may now have to hunt through dozens of different reblog chains to find where the conversation is actually happening.
If the notes no longer flow back to the original post, the creator loses the ability to see who is enjoying their work, what the tags say, and how the community is responding.
On a platform where engagement often dictates visibility, splitting that engagement into tiny, unlinked fractions makes it significantly harder for original works to gain momentum compared to the high-reach blogs that reblog them.
Incentivizing the "Big Blog" Monopoly
This system rewards accounts that have already established a large following at the direct expense of the smaller accounts that actually produce the content. It transforms reblogging from a method of sharing into a method of acquisition.
When a reblog functions as its own independent post with its own note count, the incentive to click through to the original source disappears. The platform is transitioning from a collaborative ecosystem into a standard social media feed where the person who posts the content last—not the person who made it—reaps the rewards.
Impact on Collaborative Conversations
Tumblr’s unique culture is built on the reblog chain: a chronological, evolving conversation. By allowing users to like or reblog "any part" of the chain as an independent entity, the platform is breaking the narrative thread.
If engagement is siloed into specific branches, the incentive to add to a conversation is replaced by an incentive to simply own a piece of the engagement. This change doesn't encourage conversation. It encourages the commodification of individual posts within a chain, making it harder for the original voice to ever be heard over the noise of the rebloggers.
The Disincentive to Create
Perhaps the most damaging aspect of this update is the psychological toll on the creative community. When the platform actively diverts credit and engagement away from the source, it destroys the motivation to share original work at all.
For many, the reward for posting is seeing how far their work travels. If that travel is now invisible or attributed to others, the labor of creating becomes thankless.
This system makes creators want to share nothing. If the platform is built to harvest a creator's effort for the benefit of curator blogs, the logical response is to stop providing the raw material. I am one leaning into this category. Without us creators, the curator blogs have nothing to curate.
By making it harder to protect and track one's own work, the platform is effectively telling creators that their presence is secondary to the conversations happening around their work: conversations they may no longer even be able to find.

I’m starting a new series today, and I wish I didn’t have to.
Parts 2 through 4 cover the history of Neuralink

In Part 2, we left off with Benjamin Rapoport and other co-founders walking away from Neuralink, citing vague concerns about safety.
I’ve been staring at a GoFundMe page for 6 days now, and I can’t stop thinking about the word “storybook.”

hi! making this post is incredibly embarrassing but i need to reach out for help.
the quick way to say this is: i am fucked. i didn’t pay in time and the swedish debt collecting company is giving me until the 21st (that’s like. 12 days) to pay off what i owe them. i need to raise up to 32 650 SEK. that’s 3430 dollars, if you were wondering. i will sell off a lot of my most prized items but it will not be enough, and that’s where i need help.
if you want to help a struggling trans woman, or if you perhaps enjoy any of the music i have put out or if you think i am cute.. please, donate! anything helps! i know everyone is struggling economically, it’s unrealistic to expect i could get the entire sum here so im setting up a goal of getting 1/3rd of that over here. if you can’t donate then please share this!!! once again, i am gettin desperate and literally anything will help.
my paypal username is @ iluvthevalley . if you are swedish and would rather swish me, please DM me.
thank you for your time and sorry to clog up your timeline with this! please reblog!
