@hell0howlow - Tumblr Blog

This platform feels foreign to me now since it’s been a minute since I’ve had regular use.

Familiar but foreign.

I’m thinking I deadass wanna go back to using it for actual blogging and maintaining my tags.

We should be able to block certain tags on tumblr by now. It’s 2022 wtf

I think like, the death of Vine and Rabbit, Wikipedia constantly needing to beg for money, Discord depending so heavily on venture capital, Facebook turning towards spying on users to generate a return on all the venture capital that got them started, Adobe creative suite turning into a subscription rather than a single product you buy, the strangulation of streaming entertainment as every company pulls their content and makes it exclusive to their service, are all great examples of how like, it really doesn’t matter if something is legitimately useful, efficient, or beloved, it is next to impossible for a service to exist if it doesn’t make shareholders increasing amounts of money year after year. Which may seem like a “no duh” type of statement, but it’s a very simple window into how the profit motive makes products and services worse, not better. And how that’s not just a matter of certain companies or ceos being bad and greedy on an individual level, but is an inescapable factor of an economy where existence is dependent on generating capital.

alotta the reaction to the notion that queer people are promiscuous, sexually deviant, predatory, and so on is to reject that by focusing on romance, on softness, on domesticity in an effort to normalize us in the world’s eyes and while i get it i just cant get behind that method of pushback. the goal is to dismantle the idea that hookups are bad, that sex is bad, that multiple sexual partners is bad, that sex outside the norm is bad. the romance focused approach doesn’t address this and only leaves us with the same problem, but this time brushed under a rug.
