the veritable shiz

I'm Becky I've been on this damn website for over 10 years now. British/Indian illustration obsessive. I've lived in Tokyo, Singapore and Costa Rica, but there ain't nowhere like London. I suffer from PMDD. I don't talk about it too much but sometimes I do talk about it...

It's still so strange to me how apparently taboo it is to like a post on someone's Instagram from a month ago when there are posts still circulating on Tumblr from 1550 BCE

[roolsilver]

If he didn't want it circulating in 2022 he should have sold better copper

A woman is going to be wrongfully executed next month for a crime she did not commit. Her case was used as a political ploy, and a false confession was produced by gross police misconduct.

Her name is Melissa Lucio and she’s going to die this April.

Stop the Execution of Melissa Lucio in Texas

Melissa Lucio faces execution in less than 60 days in Texas for a crime that never occurred. Join the Innocence Project by adding your name.

[mendelbreakdown]

Melissa Lucio could soon become the first Latina executed in Texas despite serious concerns about her case

On Feb. 8, Lucio’s lawyers filed a motion to withdraw or modify her April 27 execution date, arguing she was denied a fair trial and wrongfu

[opencommunion]

Not only did Ms. Lucio not commit a crime, the crime never happened. It was completely fabricated. Everything she was accused of is disproven by mountains of evidence and testimony. She lost her toddler daughter in a tragic accident and was baselessly blamed. In an already traumatic situation, when she was grieving for her baby and should’ve been surrounded by the healing love of family and community, she was kidnapped and now might be murdered by the government. No matter how you feel about the death penalty (though I would hope this case, and the many others like it, will inform your stance), this woman is not being executed as punishment for wrongdoing. She is being killed as punishment for being a poor Latina woman. The state is also injuring and traumatizing her children (including the twins she gave birth to in prison and was forced to give up for adoption) by taking their mom away. This is white supremacist murder and state terrorism, plain and simple.

literally if you’re new to tumblr: reblog shit

“it wont fit my aesthetic” make a sideblog. reblog to it.

“i hate tagging” don’t tag then. reblog it anyway.

“but my likes are public” ppl here dont fucking look at your likes. they dont do anything anyway. reblog it.

“you just want attention” jokes on you, I dont make shit anymore. I’m talking about other artists.

“it’s embarrassing” tumblr is an anonymous platform. make a sideblog if you’re too cowardly

“but on twitter its fine to have lurk accounts” well they suck ass here and are assumed to be bots. reblog.

[thesevenumbrellas]

A big part of what makes Tumblr a desirable platform is there’s no algorithm (or a usable one at least) gearing people’s work towards users who enjoy it. The only way anyones going to see a good post is if you the first wave of people who see it reblog it.

[mckinlily]

“it’s embarrassing” honey, it’s tumblr. why else are you here?!

seriously, if you don’t want to reblog, you don’t have to. I’m not here to pressure or guilt you into doing anything. But reblogs are how you become part of the tumblr community and keep the community alive if that’s what you want.

also, yeah, people will totally assume a blank blog is a bot and block it. It’s nothing personal, just common practice born out of a LOT of spam bots.

[original-missif]

Pretty sure I've blocked a fair number of new users for having irl avatar pics and 0 reblogs or likes, so new users PLEASE reblog and/or like shit and don't be a lurker because you will get blocked and mistaken for a bot

[just-another-insane-fangirl]

If you're on this website and not reblogging posts, what even are you doing here?

[deafmic]

I personally think that Tumblr should embrace their status as an anti-social media and start implementing small things that would actively make this website more of a nuisance.

[deafmic]

Some ideas, some borrowed from other posts:

-an @ everyone feature, which would notify all your followers of a post. What's the difference between this and turning on post notifications? Well, with this you don't get to choose if you've been notified or not

-mail forwarding. You get an ask you don't like? Hit this button to forward it on to a random person.

-bring back the ability to edit other people's posts except this time it notifies you if someone has edited their post so you can have beef with them if you want

-the ability to create statuses that show up next to your username when you go to your blog. This has great chaos potential.

-polls, with both unlimited options and unlimited time that can be customized. I want to see the entire bee movie script in the form of a poll

#I for one would like an option to tell people why I blocked them#just a little pop up when they try to come to my page#you've been blocked by this user for: being annoying in the Jason Todd tag

i still hang on to this tumblr. Sometimes it’s for the brilliant meme accounts and sometimes it’s in the hope that I still have friends here that will see this. And maybe help. Because you have to ask for help but I’m too fucking terrified to admit that. This is not only the only platform but the only way I at all feel safe in sharing what I’m going through. After 6 months of feeling like my brain was slipping out of my fingertips I finally managed to align my symptoms with something akin to ADHD or an anxiety disorder.  I finally spoke to one person who I know had experienced something similar and got brave enough to reach out for CBT and get on the list for a formal diagnosis but getting this stuff on the NHS takes time. And meanwhile I’ve now learnt that if something happens to cause me stress, it’s not like it used to be. I go into overdrive, i guess my threshold for handling shit is now very low. My immediate thought for coping was to cause myself harm. I haven’t (so yeah to any friends reading I haven’t.) I’m 33. It’s been at least 8 years since I’ve had this thought and longer since I followed through. Unfortunately I have learned through experience that depression doesn’t leave and is like a bruise you don’t push. If I get down, I can easily slip over into it again. After something really unfortunate happened I allowed it. It took me three days to push myself to get out of it again. And now, when something bad happens, my thoughts keep racing to the fact that when I FINALLY get some sort of therapy I have to speak up about what happened to me. Something I never ever have told anyone, but I’m sure one person out there had some idea of what happened. And if he didn’t he really is as clueless as I originally thought. I have so much shame and guilt and worry locked inside of me, manifesting as everything from poor thoughts, bad concentration to what appeared to be 2 weeks of chest pain and an A&E visit. Maybe posting on here will help me, and be the first step in actually feeling able to admit that something really bad happened to me, and I haven’t dealt with the consequences of it properly. Anyway..back to normal stuff..
