Seeing more and more blogs without a [username].tumblr.com site which means you can only view their blogs in tumblr.com/[username] mode, and I realized just the other day that nowadays you have to manually go to your blog settings and toggle the “enable custom theme” switch to have a browser site activated.

I REALLY recommend activating this! Especially if you’re an artist or if you have a themed blog, like if you reblog fanart for a specific fandom or ship. First and foremostly you can change the whole theme if you want to, you can really just go wild with building your personal aesthetic for your page.

But what I think is even more important, is that you NEED to “enable custom theme” to enable access to your archive! The link [username].tumblr.com/archive doesn’t work if you don’t have this enabled!

If you post art or archive fanart or fandom content of any kind, letting people access your archive makes it so much easier for people (and yourself) to find older art on your blog or to look for something you drew a while ago that they remember loving and want to look at again.

We talk lots about how on Tumblr old art gets to circulate, and the archive is part of how that works. It’s a really useful tool in finding good content that isn’t brand new. And especially if you are good at tagging, it’s very easy to filter the archive to find ship content or meta or fics, whatever you want to find.

hey so tumblr just added this thing (community labels) and by default ALL these category filters are set to remove anything labelled with these from your feed entirely (not just blurred).

Please remember to go into your settings and adjust them to what you prefer! if you're under 18, you won't be able to adjust them as they are set to Hide until you turn 18

this is what it looks like in settings (i have everything set to Show, the default is Hidden)

[hnetu]

Uhh

I don’t remember how to use this shit. So... Let’s find out.

I dunno, JRPGs teaching us that if you haven’t saved the world by 16 you’re not gonna do anything kinda ruined things for me WELL before social media existed.

Bethesda's inability to make a coherent plot without it being a hamfisted remake of a previous plot probably has them smashing their collective heads into a random plot generator and being frustrated it keeps shitting out bad Skyrim remakes because FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER they know they need to not fuck it up.

[ithelpstodream]

[jonpertwee]

I feel like this would be a slippery slope towards making it illegal for people to choose to not vote.

[hamfistedbunvendor]

that’s already how it is in australia

[jonpertwee]

That’s just so fucked up. :( Do certain medical conditions exempt you?

[sapphicdalliances]

?????? why is it be fucked up to have compulsory voting? that’s the way it is in most democratic countries? it’s a part of being a citizen, like paying taxes and obeying speed limits? the fine for not voting is only like $50 and because of the compulsory voting law, our country bends over backwards to make it accessible: it’s always on a weekend, lasts most of the day, and is set up at schools and community centers so there’s one within easy reach of almost everybody. you can also mail your ballot or vote early if you’ll be out of the country on the day. like, IT’S EASY TO VOTE, and the penalty isn’t even that ridiculous. i don’t understand why the usa doesn’t have this, except obviously it would make it harder to literally stop minorities from voting.

[salparadisewasright-deactivated]

I think we Americans tend to forget that a lot of other countries don’t actively work to make it harder to vote.

[thisdiscontentedwinter]

Adding to this here, in Australia you don’t have to vote. Or, more precisely, there’s no way they can tell if you ruined your ballot. You have to turn up, get your name marked off, but you can put a line through the ballot if you don’t think any of the candidates are worth voting for. Or do this: 

Or this: 

Or this: 

You have get your name crossed off (if you don’t want to wear the fine), but you don’t have to make your vote counted if you’re opposed to it. 

And it is so, so easy to vote. Stuck at work or on holidays? That’s fine. Do a postal vote.  Stuck in hospital? That’s fine. They’ll go to you. Stuck in an old people’s home and can’t get around? Again, they’ll go to you. It’s amazing to me that it’s so hard for so many Americans to actually vote. If you make it compulsory, than at least the government is obligated to provide you with the means to vote. 

And look, I get it. Sometimes I don’t want to vote either. But I suck it up, I walk three minutes down the street, and I hope that this year they’re selling lamingtons again. Oh, and I buy a democracy sausage, which, even if all the candidates suck, makes the effort of turning up pretty worthwhile. 

[julad]

ALSO, you can see even on the fucked up ballots that you NUMBER CANDIDATES IN ORDER OF PREFERENCE. There’s no need to calculate whether I would be throwing away my vote on the candidate that I most agree with if they’re not from a major party. I can say, I want that independent person to get in, but if not them, give me Big Party A, and if not them, that minor party person is still better that Big Party B, and I’m not giving any preference to the Lunatic Fringe Party.

Our system certainly has some issues still, but I can show up to somewhere nearby, line up for a few minutes (if at all), vote exactly in line with my values (on paper, leaving a paper trail that can be recounted), and then buy a sausage and some home made cupcakes on my way out.

A country’s voting system matters a hell of a lot and every citizen deserves one that makes it easy to vote and results in a government that is representational and accountable.

And by the way, one time I had a bad asthma flare-up on Election Day and didn’t make it to my polling station. I got my fine in the mail, I filled out the form explaining why I couldn’t vote, no more fine. I would rather have, you know, expressed my preference for who should run my country, but they were cool with the fact that I couldn’t do it that day.

“oh no, what if people actually have to participate in picking the government officials who will impact their lives” jesus christ

[christophoronomicon]

For the last time, for everyone who still doesn’t understand: not voting is not a tool of resistance, it’s a tool of surrender.

[val-ritz]

The problem with forcibly seizing the assets of, say, Jeff Bezos is that his net worth of $161 billion does not mean he has that in cash. That’s the worth of everything he owns, including stock in his own company.

And the problem with seizing THAT is that it isn’t real. It’s based on confidence and what people might conceivably pay for it. And if you just seize it, that confidence tanks. And then that wealth evaporates.

The problem with capitalism isn’t that there’s a bunch of old dudes sitting on hoards of cash. It’s that they’ve collectively created a system by which they have ludicrous social and economic power based on the PROMISE of hoards of cash. That don’t exist. They have created a social stratum in which debt is money.

That’s why the exhortation is to SEIZE THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION, not GO GRAB ALL THE MONEY. Because the money isn’t real, and the need to go out and get it is blinding people to the fact that it doesn’t need to exist.

[hnetu]

Not gonna lie, had me in the first half. Thought this was going either else.

[karayray1-deactivated20230129]

If this aint the most ignorant shit

[karayray1-deactivated20230129]

I mean

[karayray1-deactivated20230129]

I literally have no words

[iron-sunrise]

Also dark skin looks great with literally any saturated color on earth. People stay reaching. Dislocating their shoulders and shit.

[magicalgarmentbitch]

Don’t play yourself.

[alwaysbewoke]

I WANT TO KNOW THE NAME OF THIS FOOL!! I WANT TO EMBARRASS THEM PUBLICLY!!!

[chibiyanai]

Fuck anyone that says that these gorgeous beauties don’t suit colored hair

[beccaoftheglen]

OP is such bollocks! Dark skin can rock any colour, pale or bright. As a pasty white girl, I can only wear/use about 4 colours without looking washed out or just awful.

[hnetu]

Attractive people can rock any color. Full stop.

If you're ugly (she says, to a mirror) your weird colored hair will look ok at best and tacky at worst. Most of these women are gorgeous and the "bad ones" are still pretty, so they can pull off anything.

[9435984-deactivated20200818]

so i made some memes

[fgrobichiko]

“If voting did anything they’d make it illegal” wow I guess gerrymandering isn’t a thing, I guess taking away all first nations peoples in a state’s right to vote isn’t s thing, I guess “accidentally” deregistering thousands of black voters isn’t a thing, I guess charging fees and closing early isn’t a thing etc. Etc. Et Fucking Cetera

[9435984-deactivated20200818]

@flowergirlrobichiko i want you to know that i fucking support your addition and that i appreciate your comment

YEAH SO FUCKING VOTE

[madame-serpentine]

Especially as someone who can’t vote yet… fricking vote please!!! ❤️

It’s important!!

[randomslasher]

VOOOOOOOTE.

[virgiliananxiety]

PLEASE VOTE

I’m not 18. I can’t do anything except volunteer to register voters, and I’m trying to do that. But the administration is trying to legally erase trans people. I can’t vote, so I can’t tell my government what I want.

But you, that 18, 19, 20, 24, 28, 32, year old, reading this? You can. So please, register. Please, please, please, vote, for those like me that are too young, and for the thousands of minority group members that have been cheated out of their rights. Your vote counts, so, please, use it.

[katesattic]

This Canadian is reminding her American followers to vote.

[sandersmemes]

Hey American folks who are old enough: please vote. It may not seem too important to some of you for various reasons but it genuinely is. No excuses, folks. You need this.

[nightmarecorruptedfairy]

Please vote. We can’t change things if we don’t even try. Sure, a single vote by itself might seem like it won’t mean much, but in the same way a downpour of raindrops can create floods, we can do the same.

[otakusapien]

Primaries are coming up!!!

[sailormoonsub]

Little known fact: the first YEET in recorded history actually occurred over one thousand years ago! 

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

Please tell me I’m not the only one whose now picturing Goliath roaring the word “YEET” as he does this O.O

[zensparkle]

Yeet was invented in Scotland.

Also, petition to get Keith David to record himself growl-roaring “YEET!” so it can be dubbed into this scene
