31st of December

i had a meet n greet with the anaesthesiologist for my top surgery and he said it’s his favourite procedure to work on because everyone who wants it is just so truly happy to be there, and i can’t stop thinking about this career that is 99% attending to various sadnesses miseries and woes and 1% having funny little dudes in dangerfield buttonups throwing themselves on the operating table like YEEHAW LET’S GOOOO

i don’t normally add to people’s posts, but i’m an OR nurse who specializes in gender affirming surgery, and this is totally correct. when we bring the patient into the OR we always ask them what surgery they’re having (to make sure there are no oopsies) and more often than not, my top surgery patients will say “YOU’RE CUTTIN’ THESE BITCHES OFF” or “YOU’RE GONNA YEET THE TEATS” and i know i have the best job in the world.

those is mcdonalds jeans?

Fun fact: those McDonald’s jeans are part of the standard uniform here in Colombia. I’ve tried at least 16x to ask where they source them, if I can buy them from the manager, even going McDonald’s not to order food but just to ask for the jeans. I asked someone high up in their marketing dept here to see if maybe they know which company sourced them, and still couldn’t get my hands on a pair. Apparently employees only get one pair per year. They’re slightly high-waisted, they taper very slightly, they’re always kind of high water at the bottom, and they’re the perfect light jean color. They’re not stiff, they’re not that stretchy, they’re the perfect denim material. They come with a cloth belt that’s either yellow or turquoise, and the stitching on the M is almost sensual. I will not give up

So we’re all just ignoring Tumblr Live right? Like not make eye contact and hold very still until it goes away?

That's what I'm doing!

Yet y’all paid for the checkmarks?? I’m confused here, do we hate tumblr’s money-grabbing or not?

It's not about "hating Tumblr's money-grabbing", it's about having an opinion on how Tumblr makes money. They have to make money in order to survive, there is infrastructure to pay for in the form of servers and the support for those, and there is staff that deserves to be paid for doing the work to keep the site running and they deserve things like health insurance too. All of that costs money, and Tumblr has not been making enough of it to meet those needs.

So I accept the reality that they need to have income, but I want it on the user's terms. The checkmarks are a silly joke making fun of Twitter that lets users decide to "opt in" and give Tumblr money. It's clear from the beginning what we get for that money and what Tumblr gets from the transaction, same with paying to put crabs on your dash for a day. It's a fun, very Tumblr-like thing that gives me a way to choose to support Tumblr without significantly changing my or others user experience and without losing any of what I enjoy about Tumblr.

Tumblr Live is not that. It is a new feature that no one asked for and which is clearly trying to grab some of the popularity of TikTok. I don't judge anyone for enjoying TikTok, but it's not my kind of thing, and it's not what I come to Tumblr for. Video is a very popular format with advertisers, so I am guessing that's part of why it was implemented. It concerns me that this may be the beginning of Tumblr shifting towards catering to advertisers rather than its users, and that shift would destroy the uniqueness of Tumblr and make it just like every other shitty social media site that's all about harvesting and selling users' data.

So yes, I paid for the checkmarks because it's funny, I wanted to, and it doesn't change my user experience. And yes, I hate Tumblr Live because it's opt-out and indicates a potential shift in the focus of Tumblr, which I don't want.

This.

All of this, plus Tumblr Live also has a WHOLE LOT of location data that it's harvesting when it's turned on that I do not want it to have. This is evident in the "nearby" feature.

Setting reminders on my phone to snooze Tumblr Live every 7 days. Staff thinks we don’t have the commitment and will cave eventually. We’ll see about that.

I did pay for no ads though.

“Why do you wear that black mask? Were you burned on Mustafar, or something like that?” “Oh no, it’s just that they’re terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.”

“Luke doesn’t get eaten by the rancor at this time. ”What?” “The rancor doesn’t get him. I’m explaining to you because you look nervous.”
