I DO think tumblr's dev team has been instructed to constantly implement new features and that's why they keep tweaking the UI in goofy ways. I imagine this is an upper management thing, so even if we say "well don't change anything and just maintain the status quo" they'll continue to make other changes anyway.

I will admit I REALLY like the recent improvements they've added to tumblr's search (you can exclude terms now!! you can search multiple tags!! and time frames!!) so it's not like they're incapable of adding useful features. it might be mutually beneficial for us as users if we were more vocal about things we want and don't want. Some features I'd like to see added:

spoilerable text

spoilerable images

the return of hover text!! remember when we had that?

ability to embed videos in reblogs

ANIMATED GIF ICONS!!!!!!!!!!!!

the ability to turn off other people's animated gif icons

the ability to filter original posts on a user's ENTIRE blog, not just a tag/search

more html support, like what if we could build tables

adding reactions to replies! I'm glad we can like them more but it'd be nice if we could take this further

embeddable tiktoks?? I don't even use tiktok but I remember trying to embed one in like 2020 and I'm surprised we still can't! even vines were able to be embedded

being able to search in your DMs. not being able to do this is why I tend to redirect mutuals to discord

MUTING USERS POSTS/COMMENTS WITHOUT BLOCKING THEM! just cause I don't want to see someone's posts doesn't mean I don't want us to never interact ever

a mutual-only dashboard feed

a feed for the blogs you're subscribed to

get rid of tumblr tv lmao I've literally never used it

"mark as read" button for communities without opening them

please dear god no AI shit unless it's a way for me to filter/block it easier

several of these I've submitted support tickets for under "feedback", and if there's anything you feel strongly about I suggest you do too!

I just saw a post by someone who claims to be an antizionist Jew, and it reminded me a bit of the haggada.

Now first off, can you be antizionist and Jewish? yes.

On the other hand, if your entire blog is dedicated to being anti-Israel, you only bring up Judaism if someone calls you out for being antisemitic, you post 0 things about Judaism without being ant-Israel somewhere in the post/tags.... I doubt you are, in fact, Jewish.

This is besides the point.

The post in question said 'isn't this [Israel] supposed to be your ancient homeland?' [emphasis added]

Look, believe what you want to about the modern country, about Jews being white, whatever. It is indisputable that Israel is supposed to be the ancient Jewish homeland. You can believe that while at the same time believing it is a colonial state, or evil, or anything else. But that area of land is where Jews come from, it is our original homeland.

But this blogger didn't say our they said 'your', and it reminds me of the wicked son from the haggada:

'What does the wicked son say? "What does this drudgery mean to you?" To you and not to him. Since he excludes himself from the community, he has denied a basic principle of Judaism. You should blunt his teeth by saying to him: "It is for the sake of this that Hashem did for me when I left Egypt." For me and not for him. If he was there he would not have been redeemed.'

This blogger, like many others has decided that they are no longer part of the Jewish people. Maybe they were born to Jewish parents and raised Jewish, as I said I doubt it, but it is possible.

By saying 'your homeland' they have cut themselves off from the Jewish people.

You can have any number of beliefs or lack of beliefs and still be Jewish, but once you start refering to the Jewish people as a group separate from you, you have cut yourself off.

[jewish-vents]

everyone opining about Iran, “why now? why do this now? it’s wrong, the Islamic Republic wasn’t even doing anything” while ignoring that the regime killed 30,000+ people in 48 hours

now I understand how no one helped the Jews screaming out for help during the Holocaust. now I understand why the allies refused to bomb the train tracks to Auschwitz. “no war with Hitler!”

I understand why they think defending Hamas butchers helps Palestinians.

the world is filled with cowards who don’t care about helping civilians being massacred by fascist regimes unless it’s convenient for them, and maybe not even then.

hello

I know you probably get a lot of hate 'asks'. So I just wanted you to know: your work helps. maybe not antisemites.

but it is regularly something that cheers me up. that we're *not* alone in pushing back against antisemitism. that at least one person I don't know in real life isn't participating in the collective gaslighting on antisemitism it seems the world has decided is appropriate. that I'm not overreacting, that this is a valid thing to be concerned about.

I am incredibly grateful for this.

I appreciate this so much, thank you ❤️

I do get a lot of hateful asks, but ones like this make them all worth it.

Reblog to hug prev

Please

the thing is like. i know plenty of poor americans that really did join the military because it was "the only option" but its important to recognize that even among those people its not actually the only option. you can just be poor. they made the choice to kill people so they could advance their own societal position. thats still evil

[forevermorallylucky]

Oh my god, I am not a marxist, but maybe you guys should learn a few things from him, because for all his flaws the guy really did point to the fact that actions of evil are an inevitable result of a larger system and not of the sins of a few individuals.

I don't know how to break this to you. But ''just being poor'' isn't that simple for people who have a family. especially when we talk extremely poor, not just lower middle class. I don't know how to break this to you. But not everyone has been blessed with a leftist education on why the US military is bad. Most people who enlist are propagandized 18 year olds that genuinely think are doing good.

And I am not arguing there is nothing iffy about joining the military but as long as you guys continue to talk like puritan evengelical christians you are not preventing anyone from joining, bcs you lecture them from a perspective they can't afford to have.

[prof-grace-aspen]

“Just be poor” jfc. That’s up there with the dingdong who insisted they chose to be homeless.

[jackiefour]

Okay, so according to this post, @staff says they're listening to us, so...

Sound off, Tumblr! How do you feel about the latest update to the reblog and notes?

Hate it. 👎

Like it. 👍

No nuance. Go ahead and reblog the crap out of this.

Had a dream that P.M. Seymour went on vacation and he uploaded a week's worth of videos that were just him talking about local Chinese restaurants that weren't, like, amazing or anything - they were mostly kinda sub par, but in that "mediocre comfort food" way - and he came back from vacation to an offer from Food Network to be the next Anthony Bourdain. Not sure how to feel about this.

[itsapmseymour]

Okay but like

That’s not a bad idea??

[prof-grace-aspen]

Just like pro-lifers are actually just anti-choice, so too are many pro-Palestinians actually just anti-Israel. And so that is what I will call them. Because I am in fact pro-Palestinian! But I’m not anti-Israel.

Maybe we should pry that phrase back from them, for people who actually want to help Palestinians and advocate for them to have their own state alongside Israel.

i need 2 refill my queue but sorry im posting bullshit. it will continue.

fun fact about kashrut and halal and all other cultural and religious foodways: you, culturally christian american atheist, also have these practices. they're just the dominant cultural norms where you live so you don't notice.

which animals do you consider food animals? which animals would you only eat if you were desperate? if you sat down at a restaurant and they served meat from an animal you don't consider food, or a body part you don't consider food (like tongue or testicles), what would you do? order something else? leave the restaurant?

what kinds of foods do you think "go together," and which don't? what foods do you find strange or exotic? what makes them seem that way? maybe they combine ingredients or flavors that you don't think go together. maybe the texture or appearance is something you're not used to.

hindus don't eat cows because they consider them sacred. jews don't eat pigs because we consider them unfit to be eaten. many people don't eat veal because they object to killing a juvenile animal. none of these standards or attitudes are actually that different from each other.

okay now imagine someone snuck some veal into your food because you told them you don't eat veal.

Things people have told me are treyf in their culture, but didn't use those words:

- Breaking spaghetti

- Mole pasta

- Jalapeños in tortilla española

- Picking up a gyoza with the fingers

- Vegan sausages

- Mayonnaise on various things

- Eating the fuzzy skin of a kiwi

- Various foods when it's breakfast time and only breakfast foods are allowed
