well 🧍‍♀️ as a reminder this blog is NOT a safe space for trump supporters but it IS a safe place for women, queers, trans ppl, people of color, undocumented people, and any marginalized group.

[wakewithgiggli]

Even more so today.

[venusislesbian]

Already seeing people on tiktok saying “I still hate trump but he ate with this one” like … babes … you just got propagandized … that’s literally exactly what he created this situation in the hopes you would say …

I think the funniest part about the migration from tiktok to rednote is how americans are like "oh my gosh, our government lied to us, you guys are the same as us!" and chinese are like "holy shit, our government didn't lie to us, you really do live like this, i'm so sorry"

[scar-crossedlvrs]

aye so reminder, even if Trump 'saves' tiktok he's literally still a fascist and will try and censor it in any way he can while the government censors more and more of our everyday lives. thanks for listening.

where were u wen tiktok die

I was at house eating dorito when phone ring

‘TikTok is kil’

“no”

[cherriesnkisses]

“fortunate” and “president trump” being in the same sentence when i open the tiktok app was absolutely not on my 2025 bingo card

[guccifloralsuits]

nobody say a fucking word about tumblr we can’t remind these billionaires we exist

[ryderdire]

Really interesting thing I glimpsed on rednote today

I think We- we’re developing international class consciousness 

[transcyberism]

me and everyone else who never used TikTok watching all these teens radicalize each other across a language barrier and an entire ocean

Adding to this, beyond the cat/dog tax and the all around goofiness between us... Coming together like this... Almost feels humanizing.

And that's not to say either side didn't consider the other human, but it's finally finding a way to speak to one another openly and truly understand each other beyond the propaganda both of us were fed. Like, you can say anything you want, but we as Americans had a fucked view of China and it's people to justify fear and distrust. And that's what we were fucking fed.

And turns out, they were fed bullshit about us too! But this moment of mass movement to the app, finding out we have the same dark humor, our love for our cats and dogs. The fact they are trying to teach us mandarin and we're fucking absorbing it earnestly even if it is a massive fuck you to our government is incredible.

I've been seeing real questions, curious simple things that just show how much we truly didn't know about each other. It's sad and in a way beautiful how innocently we're learning about each other and in a way, seeing each other for the first time.

But also we need to learn how to behave... Stop barking/meowing at the pretty people. We just got there. Chill.

to those of you who are moving here from tiktok, from someone whos used both tiktok and tumbr for years...

1. DO NOT censor your posts

dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)

2. we dont really have an algorithm

you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points

3. dont crosstag

we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)

4. dont expect to go viral/be famous

"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is

5. blocking is your best friend

tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on

6. you cant go into someone elses house and start rearranging their furniture

this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we've been here longer and we're familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app

[goingknowherewastaken]

Another important point

You need to actually reblog posts for this site to work as it should.

Liking posts only saves them in a spot that no one checks except for the user who liked them. Most people have their liked posts hidden.

Also, this site has a spam bot problem. One way we weed those out is to check the blog to see if it's actually being used to post legitimate content. If there is absolutely nothing on your blog you're getting blocked and some users may just straight up report you as spam as a precaution.

Not to mention that the posts you reblog will only be seen by you and whoever follows you. Tagging it "fyp" does absolutely nothing.

I know everyone is trying to say that the reason the cat from stray can understand what b-12 is saying is because they are hyper intelligent from evolution but it's arguably way funnier if they're just a normal fucking cat doing random cat things and saved the world on accident

I mean.

Cartoon design is based off of 70s/80s fashion

So, it’s not wrong.

It’s rather likely

I’d like to add dickey collars for consideration.

I can picture him having an entire drawer devoted to an assortment of these, right next to his drawer full of ascots.

May I present this image from Legend of the Vampire?

[synille]

what is the FUCKING truth

[meckamecha]

He has multiple outfits that all look identical while having completely different construction

[sizvideos]

[nopizza]

He committed to how pissed off he was

[cocochineal]

I love how petty this is

[quiet--batpeople]

I hope he brought the video to traffic court to contest the ticket lol

[doing-talking]

I love the poetry that this gifset ends with him running into a police car.

[gjallarmoth]

This is a tactic called Uncivil Obedience: where you follow the law so stringently that it exposes the injustice the law causes.

[changelingsrule]

If I remember correctly, he did take this video to court and I think he won.
