Somewhere In Neverland

Hi I'm Morgan and I like bands a lot.

there’s a very specific aesthetic i’m going for on this blog and it’s called cool things i like

[cogentranting]

I think the key to celebrities who survive Tumblr is that they understand we’re not here to follow them, they’re here to hang out with us. 

We’re here building a fort out of scraps of stuff we found in a dumpster and if Ryan Reynolds would like to sit down in the mud and contribute, he is welcome to. But the fort comes first. Neil Gaiman found an old couch cushion. Wil Wheaton has a cool rock. Sometimes Taylor Swift shows up to say how nice the fort looks. That’s the way of things.

someone in the UK threw eggs at Charles and was arrested and has been banned from openly carrying eggs in public and has since been sent death threats but their statement on the matter was so fucking good

After careful consideration and going over multiple options I think the best choice is stay warm and cozy in bed forever.

the fact that likely a not-insignificant percentage of the people getting twitter banned for criticizing Elon Musk were personally banned by Elon himself is so fucking delightful to me. imagine having 200 billion dollars and yet you're frantically searching for your own name on twitter to find accounts to suspend because your widdle baby feelings got hurt

In the continuing story of "genius" Elon Musk taking over Twitter and then possibly fucking up entirely, apparently you have to give at least 60 days notice of mass layoffs by federal and state law in California, and shockingly enough, Musk didn't do that when he bought to company and planned to start mass layoffs within a week.

God. Musk's had twitter five days and he's already running it straight into the ground. This fucking rules

Underappreciated element of the Tumblr checkmarks is that the implementation is nearly identical to how twitter is doing them. This took twitter like, several days and a blow to their public reputation to implement.

The Tumblr devs looked at the whole fiasco, said "hey you know what would be funny" and minted these bad boys before lunch.

Twitter and tiktok are like a coral reef

It’s loud and bright and productive and glamorous. It’s fast-paced and things cycle through the environment in hours. Everyone is trying to fight for their position in the food chain and stay Relevant. There are lots of pretty things to look at. If something gets Popular it has an impact on everything around it, for a brief time until the next big thing arrives. To an outside observer it’s chaos but to those involved it has order, reason, a Purpose.

Tumblr is like a deep-sea ecosystem.

Things are slow and weird. Memes bounce around for years and even decades. People exist in their little isolated hydrothermal vent communities of mutuals. Sometimes something big happens (suez canal, November 5th, Queen Lizzie kickin’ it) and we all gather around like a whale fall but for the most part we’re just snootling around in the sand doing whatever the fuck. Occasionally someone comes down and shines their flashlight around and immediately leaves and tells their friends about what freaky shit we have going on in the depths. We don’t care. We’re very busy talking about Our Friend Jonathan from a book published in the 1800s like worms slowly digesting the bones of a long-dead organism.

sometimes i really love being an adult bc like if i was 17 and asked my mom for 7.99 to support one website slam dunking another as it goes down in flames she would roll her eyes and tell me to save my money for better things but now that im 28 i have full autonomy over my money i can just. spend 7.99 because i think a joke is funny and it made me laugh

[beggars-opera]

Tumblr today be like

guys we’re not being cringe to keep out the twitter users. we’re being cringe to keep out the ALGORITHMS, the CAPITALISTS, the INFLUENCERS. twitter users are welcome as long as they agree this site is UNMARKETABLE

[hey-hamlet]

“rent lowering gunshots” this, “we can’t let them know we like it here” that, i think everyone is just having fun posting cringe
