i can't do this anymore guys. dostoevsky never wrote this. please. can anyone hear me. if you do proper research the earliest version of this quote is from like a 2010 facebook quote with a magenta flower on it. it's gotten so bad that it's even credited to him on goodreads but nobody can source where he wrote it because he fucking didn't. i can't keep seeing this in your web weaves. dostoevsky the author of crime and punishment did not in fact write "you were destined for me. perhaps as a punishment". that is just simply not true. please nod and tell me you understand

Whoever invented "open in app" links that redirect you to the app store instead of actually opening the app even when you already have the app installed on your phone should be involuntarily turned into a beanbag chair

Here is an article from NPR about it (May 22, 2026):

Carolina Milanesi, an independent technology analyst, said Google is trying to make its cash cow business — search — richer and more personalized, and it will make shopping easier. But there is a risk that users may have fewer choices about what to click. "Right now it's: I ask a question, I get a bunch of answers and I feel that I'm in control as to which answer I take, or if I'm looking for something, which product I'm going to end up buying. That is going to be less so going forward," she said. Milanesi envisions AI-enabled search and agents proposing products to consumers — perhaps even those they have requested — but with less clarity or choice around where it's coming from. "If you're going to say: 'I want a pair of Jordans, go find them,' you're not necessarily sure what steps have been taken and whether the AI has used a source or a store that was paid for and therefore came up in the search results," she said, "or if AI actually went and did their due diligence and picked the best for me as a customer."

And here's one from Time magazine (May 20, 2026):

While Google already has “AI Mode,” the company will now power the whole search bar through its new Gemini 3.5 Flash model.  Instead of the classic list of blue links, Google Search will now also generate a custom page with an AI-generated summary of what you’re searching about, which will then trigger a conversation with AI Mode on the main page, allowing users to ask follow-up questions—similar to the kind of layout you would see when opening ChatGPT.

And a little more from Time's article on how this may affect the websites that we are trying to search for:

When Google first started implementing AI-assisted results, news publishers warned of “catastrophic” impacts on the industry, much of which relies on Google search to drive users to their websites.  Last year, news websites saw significant traffic declines as chatbots increasingly replaced Google search as the primary way to find sites and ask questions.  Small businesses also noted drops in traffic to their sites from Google, which has traditionally delivered customers.   Lily Ray, vice president of SEO strategy & research at Amsive, a digital marketing agency, warned as early as last year that Google’s planned changes to search are “going to have a devastating impact on the Internet.”  “It will severely cut into the main source of revenue for most publishers and it will disincentivize content creators who rely on organic search traffic, which is millions of websites, maybe more,” she told Technology Magazine.

PSA about custom themes!!

The popular icon family "cappuccicons" was abandoned a while back. More recently (within the past few months), the website that hosted it vanished. Even more recently (within the past few weeks or days) that website has been taken over / replaced, and blogs that use cappuccicons are now redirecting people to shady sites with a risk of malware.

To check if your blog or pages have been affected, just go to your true desktop blog: [blogname].tumblr.com (mine is memento-morri-writes.tumblr.com). If it loads normally, you're fine! If it starts redirecting you elsewhere (aka, if you see the address in the address bar change), close the tab immediately!

Fear not!! It's an easy fix! If your blog is affected, you just need to open the code of your blog or page theme and delete this line:

As for replacing your missing icons (which would have been missing for weeks/months anyways), it's very simple, even if you have no coding experience! It essentially boils down to 1) Find a set of icons (I've used Phosphor and FontAwesome.), 2) copy the provided script into the top of your page/blog code (where you deleted the cappuccicons script from), and then 3) replacing the icon names in the code with the names of whatever icons you want from your chosen icon family.

Feel free to send me an ask or DM if you need more detailed instructions!

(Gently pinging @bebewrites / @softcodes because even though you don't use those icons, I know a lot of people follow you for coding stuff, so maybe you could give this a boost?)

It's happening again, so just to remind everyone:

TUMBLR ADS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO AUTO-PLAY AUDIO! THAT IS A BUG AND YOU SHOULD REPORT IT!

"This ad is auto-playing audio" is literally on the drop down menu for reporting an ad. Tumblr isn't trying to implement this! Don't protest this "new policy", cause it's not one.

Report the broken ads.

Thank you.

I cannot explain why I have this one actor that I just “hate watch.” As in, I’ll see he’s in a movie or show, think, “ew, him again. I’m gonna watch it”

That’s like… really stupid of me. Right?

But anyway, I just watched a movie that was really good and I’m really annoyed about it.

[imsleigh]

I’m now eyeing a show that he was in that every reviewer said had a disappointing, if not infuriating, ending. I should know better, right? I could at least watch the show with a more interesting storyline.

Or just stop watching him at all. But where’s the fun in that?

[imsleigh]

I went with the "interesting" one. And dang if it doesn't seem good so far. I'm only one episode in, though, it could all change.

It helps that his character is supposed to be a bit punchable, though.

I've been role-playing silly characters in VRChat for a few months and it's so fun.

But today i couldnt because my voice was destroyed. Partially because of allergies and because I talked about the Bible ALL DAY LONG with my coworker.

I have a job interview pray that I will have a voice peas.

Pray for my coworker that he will accept jesus. He lost a child years ago and he was very traumatized by it and had a hard time not being mad at God for it.
