"exercise will give you more energy" gets said a lot as a common piece of health advice but I think it needs to be expanded into "exercising will make you tired while you do it, and you will continue to be tired immediately afterwards, sometimes even the next day too, but over months of consistent exercise, your muscles will get stronger and therefore get less tired out by everyday activities, making you feel like day-to-day life takes less physical energy than it used to"
i love a dim lit room!! turn off all big lights!!!
A room needs two different sets of light: a) cozy, warm light, decorative lights, one warm reading spotlight, candles, just all the cozyness b) big ass very bright overhead lights for when I lost something and need to find it
Is this the tumblr April fools? Or is this something I‘ve just never noticed before?? 😂😂

The Death of the Digital Ecosystem: Why Decoupling Notes Destroys Tumblr
@changes (Edit: I already sent this to Tumblr Support under the feedback option. I encourage everyone to send feedback on how bad this feature actually is).
For years, the total note count on a post served as a universal metric of a piece of content's impact. Whether a user liked the original post or a reblog fifteen branches deep, that engagement flowed back to the source. This ensured that the original artist, writer, or editor received the full credit for the viral success of their work.
Under this new system, engagement is trapped within the specific reblog a user happens to see on their dashboard. If a massive, high-traffic blog reblogs a piece of art from a small creator, every like and reblog that occurs through that larger account stays with them. The original creator is left with a stagnant note count on their own dashboard while their work generates thousands of interactions for someone else.
Erasure of Creator Visibility
Instead of seeing one post with 10,000 notes, a creator may now have to hunt through dozens of different reblog chains to find where the conversation is actually happening.
If the notes no longer flow back to the original post, the creator loses the ability to see who is enjoying their work, what the tags say, and how the community is responding.
On a platform where engagement often dictates visibility, splitting that engagement into tiny, unlinked fractions makes it significantly harder for original works to gain momentum compared to the high-reach blogs that reblog them.
Incentivizing the "Big Blog" Monopoly
This system rewards accounts that have already established a large following at the direct expense of the smaller accounts that actually produce the content. It transforms reblogging from a method of sharing into a method of acquisition.
When a reblog functions as its own independent post with its own note count, the incentive to click through to the original source disappears. The platform is transitioning from a collaborative ecosystem into a standard social media feed where the person who posts the content last—not the person who made it—reaps the rewards.
Impact on Collaborative Conversations
Tumblr’s unique culture is built on the reblog chain: a chronological, evolving conversation. By allowing users to like or reblog "any part" of the chain as an independent entity, the platform is breaking the narrative thread.
If engagement is siloed into specific branches, the incentive to add to a conversation is replaced by an incentive to simply own a piece of the engagement. This change doesn't encourage conversation. It encourages the commodification of individual posts within a chain, making it harder for the original voice to ever be heard over the noise of the rebloggers.
The Disincentive to Create
Perhaps the most damaging aspect of this update is the psychological toll on the creative community. When the platform actively diverts credit and engagement away from the source, it destroys the motivation to share original work at all.
For many, the reward for posting is seeing how far their work travels. If that travel is now invisible or attributed to others, the labor of creating becomes thankless.
This system makes creators want to share nothing. If the platform is built to harvest a creator's effort for the benefit of curator blogs, the logical response is to stop providing the raw material. I am one leaning into this category. Without us creators, the curator blogs have nothing to curate.
By making it harder to protect and track one's own work, the platform is effectively telling creators that their presence is secondary to the conversations happening around their work: conversations they may no longer even be able to find.
Reblog if you do NOT want the new Tumblr update
Apparently, from what I hear people say, in the new Tumblr update, if someone reblogs your post and adds a comment of their own, that reblog is counted as a new post and it belongs to the reblogger. Not you. You, as the OP, do not get the notifications if someone else later reblogs from the person who reblogged your post with their own comment. You can’t see what comments people leave on the reblogs of the post you originally made unless they reblogged directly from you.
If this is actually true, it will just open doors for harassment. And also it takes the credits away from the OPs. Tumblr’s etiquette has always been “reblog don’t repost”. So this new update, if true, contradicts the whole core values of Tumblr as a community.
Respectfully, we don’t want this @staff @support @tumblr @changes please listen to your users.
I’d also like to clarify that this is what I hear from what a lot of people are saying, and it bothers me. But if I got anything wrong, I do apologize.
MY FRIEND IS FINDING OUT THAT HES COLORBLIND AND WE’RE ALL HELPING HIM THROUGH IT LMAOOOOOO
UPDATE WE HAVE TWO COLORBLIND BITCHEZ IN THE SERVER
what the fuck is going on
On the last one Deuteranomaly and Protanomaly are identical though
What I’m getting from this is that there are a lot more colorblind people in the world than even colorblind people know.
Share to save [shame] a friend
WAIT! DEUTERANOMALY AND PROTANOMALY IS THE SAME! IT’S THE FUCKING SAME! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT?????
The deuteranomaly and protanomaly ones are very similar but they are different. The purple section ranges out a little farther to the right in the protanomaly one. Not seeing the difference between might not indicate color blindness but rather difficulty with color differentiation.
The green is also slightly more vivid in the protanomaly strip than it is in the deuteranomaly one.
@skeletal-spire-man-aka-overfit
um
these are not the same
They’re… They’re identical…
What’s… What’s the difference-?
welp. one of the moots has tritanomaly colour blindness!
I’m not colourblind, but like, on the last one, deuteranomaly and protanomaly are identical to eachother- so are protanopia and deuteranopia-
They aren’t different?
I feel like I should add this

The test is fun! While I got a 0.0028, which is apparently pretty good, I also learned that differentiating purples and pinks is somehow much harder than any other color, and any difference in light/darkness of the color is super easy. I made my eyes unfocused and then just scanned the screen, especially at the edges I could sometimes see the gradient better than in the middle.
Also fun story, one time I had to do an assignment with a boy in class and countries were color coded red and green by some metric. And he just looked at it and was like „what are we supposed to see here?“ and I gave him the side eye and pointed out that there are red markings and he just said „oh“ and we didn‘t talk about it further. I think it may have been the moment he realized he‘s colorblind. Or he knew and just tried to play it off.

does ao3 allow videos to be uploaded onto the site and does it protect them legally as well
ao3 allows video edits as far as I know…
but as for legal protection. listen, every work that is written text is to my understanding legally protected (fanfics and original works). you own the copyright to your written works, because they are your own words and you don’t monetize other people’s copyrighted materials. but when it comes videos? honestly I am not sure — because, assuming you’re talking about video edits of copyrighted materials, in my honest opinion I think it’s trickier and more of a grey area for you (general you) to use a scene from a tv show with a copyrighted song over it, for instance, and claim legal rights and protection to it simply because you post it on ao3.
like — and I must emphasize that this is me guessing and I could be wrong — the scenes still belong to that tv show, the song still belongs to the artist. so I am honestly unsure if ao3 can make that video legally yours, copyright-wise, if they can legally protect it from being potentially strike by copyright violation, simply because you edit it and post it on their platform.
I know some hyperrealistic fan art were hit with copyright violation because they were “too realistic” — but that is usually only the case where artists try to monetize their fan art, which is obviously not on ao3. so it has nothing to do with ao3 here. I’m only bringing it up because it might be relevant since we’re talking about copyright infringement here.
but again, about your question about videos, I am mostly just guessing based on what I think is the case. so I could totally be wrong. maybe someone with more insight than me could chime in?
Just adding on, I might be wrong, but as far as I know AO3 doesn‘t host videos or audio or images. You have to upload them somewhere and then you can link to them, but they‘re not hosted on AO3. E.g. I‘ve posted podfics before and put the audio on archive.org and then embedded it in AO3. So AO3 doesn‘t really need to worry about the copyright (I think?) because it‘s not hosted on their site.
If anyone knows more about the legalities feel free to correct me/explain further.
Tell me you see it too 😂

could you please do a tutorial on how you do your risograph style drawings? they look so cool 😭😭
Okay, so far my favorite bit from Warlock Holmes - A Study in Brimstone is the line "I got cardio-cranial narrative-sensitive exploditis" 😂 This guy literally has the "I'm going to die when the plot demands it" disease 🤣
I love Fourth Wall breaks like this.
