Im not the uncle you want. I'm not the uncle you deserve. I'm not the uncle you need. Im not your uncle

looks like my account has the option to let other people see my replies in that comments tab but not the option to see my own comments tab which is. interesting,

[parakeet]

just saw a 'comments' tab on someones blog you know where the following and likes tabs would be if enabled and it was just showing all the replies theyve made on peoples posts. this is fascinating when did this feature come out

[parakeet]

EMERGENCY - ITS AUTO ENABLED!

if you've made replies on posts there is now a tab on your blog showing every post youve replied to and your reply.

if this is not what you want, either go to your blog and click comments and disable it from there or just go to your individual blogs setting pages. just change it from blue to grey if you dont want everyone to see your replies AND the post you're replying to

PLEASE BE ADVISED that it is set to disabled for blogs that have not made any replies but it will turn ON if you reply with that blog in the future.! i just tested it with my main, which was greyed out but it turned on the moment i left a test reply

figured i'd get the word out bc i have not seen a single mention of this and i'm sure there are plenty of people who maybe comment on things they don't want on display for everyone to see on their blog lol. you can still look at your replies with it toggled off just no one else can, like locking the following and likes list

[parakeet]

so for some reason this feature was actually announced on the tumblr engineering blog. interesting choice not to reblog it to the staff or tumblr blog, esp considering they asked for user input on how to implement it, but i suppose considering the response to the last update maybe the replies would be too overwhelming...

so couple of clarifications. comments are disabled as default for primary blogs that have their likes disabled. they are seemingly enabled for all other blogs that have replied to posts

posts you comment on may show on your followers 'for you' page if you leave your replies publically available. they may, in the future, show in on your followers dashboard if your follower goes to their dash settings and enables this. apparently, if your likes are enabled, your followers can already see those on the dash if they've gone into preferences and selected to do so, which I was unaware of, and that seems to be disabled at default, but it's possible i disabled it previously and forgot about it ig

they just don’t do any classic homophobic children moments like this anymore

There was really no winning that one

if you build “community” around hating other people, just know that the second you step out of line—regardless of your moral uprightness or the hypocrisy on their part—you’re the next person they’re going to tear to pieces.

Does no one on tumblr watch youtube?? Why is no one talking about the Bricks and Minifigs scandal???? A stuntman/provocateur just exposed a $200,000 scam involving lego bricks, which resulted in an entire police department demonstrating that they will do anything in their power to protect members the Mormon church, up to and including swatting and injuring innocent people with the sole purpose of scaring them away from investigating Mormons.

[hapalopus]

State news are talking about it now

[ghostportals]

the news report leaves out the part where the official police media report includes them literally saying "johnson (one of the thieves) called us and told us he was gonna shoot "someone" (heavily implied to be schneider, the youtuber who exposed them, and/or the people helping him try to serve johnson court papers,) so we arrested schneider." like yeah technically they say he said he was "going to shoot someone" not specifically that guy but they still literally arrested him for the crime of being threatened with being murdered. but like the guy threatening to kill him is a mormon so he obviously deserves it right.

smaller thing but the police report also says they were pulled over for running a stop sign despite there being public police footage of them sitting at said stop sign, blinker on, full stop, for several seconds before driving forwards

i need to fight my coworker for taking the day off i do not want to go to work today was supposed to be a drawing day!!!!!!!!!!!

[ghostportals]

my cat likes to try to get my attention by trying to eat things that will send him to the hospital if actually injested, frequently when i'm in bed and not very awake and not really capable of actually getting up, which sometimes leads to me trying to get him to stop by throwing things at* him (*in his general vicinity) but it never works at all because he knows i'm not actually gonna ever intentionally hit him so he doesn't care. and yet i still find myself grabbing a sock or something and tossing it in a desperate attempt to not have to get up and pull him away from the wires or tape or whatever frequently. on rare occassions it'll at least distract him for like 3 seconds if he decides to chase whatever i throw as a toy but he usually just goes right back to the crimes after those 3 seconds are up

still caring about internet friends you lost touch with years ago is so embarrassing. yeah i had a deam we met up irl recently. the last time we spoke was maybe 7-8 years ago. i still wear the laces we randomly decided was a sign of our friendship. i dont know what any of your socials are or if youre even active on any. sometimes i see someones art resemble yours and i wonder for hours. do you still go by that name you chose? whenever i see it i wonder if its you. we couldve passed each other in this vastness a thousand times and not have a clue.

[razzmothazz]

we were lonely kids having fun together. do you remember?

it's a weird experience having a very not online friend who Is still more online than the average person just like. on pinterest and ao3 exclusively. most often if i reference an internet thing or use online or fandom slang i have to explain it to them but then every now and then they'll just hit me with something that comes so out of left field like How Do You Know About That.
