My tolerance for tumblr @staff's shit has hit a breaking point for a variety of reasons, I'm going to be leaving tumblr for the time being until they fix their withered, transphobic hearts, or die. I'm on bluesky still at the moment as @josapr.bsky.social but my patience with bsky's staff is wearing thin too, so idk if I'm going to be on there much longer either. We'll see.

Fanfic readers are losing the fucking plot and I’m not okay with it.

In two days, from two different fandoms and two different commenters, I have received comments that never should have been left. Backhanded compliments are still insults, people! Telling me I should have wrote this instead of that because you didn’t read the tags isn’t a me problem? Hello?

And trust me. I know there are more deranged commenters out there. But I’ve been publishing fics on ao3 since 2018. And I have never, not once, received any form of a negative comment. Am I lucky? I shouldn’t have to say that because NOBODY SHOULD BE LEAVING NEGATIVE COMMENTS!

Fandom is a community space! It’s where we can all meet to flail about our OTPs and share safe space together. but is it any wonder why communities are dying out when you have entitled pricks who think they can give unwarranted commentary on how you should change a fucking word because it icks them?! Be so fucking for real with me right now. Your fanfic writers, your fan artists, your editors — yeah, we all do and share these things because we love it! And we want to share the love with the community! Yet why would anyone want to share the things the love when someone else thinks it’s acceptable behavior to comment asinine things?

if we don’t address the problem, one day it will come down to the death of fandom.

I love watching streamers speedrun precision platformers I don't understand at all, because half the time it's clearly a display of the most batshit moves you've seen this side of GDQ, and the other half of the time it's like

Streamer: *walks two steps to the left*

Chat: *fucking explodes*

astronomy club sent up a weather balloon w a gopro in it last friday. put in three packs of fruit snacks so they could have a giggle over eating fruit snacks that had been to space.

balloon went up into inner space, about 90,000 feet. came down right near the dinosaur park. a few physics teachers drive out to get it, crack it open on the way home to start watching the footage.

fruit snacks are missing.

multiple sources confirm that fruit snacks were put in balloon and sealed in with duct tape. physics teachers check entire balloon. no fruit snacks.

physics teachers watch footage. all 7 hours of it. right in the middle of footage, there are about 8 minutes of visual and audio static when balloon is in orbit. no other interference with balloon recorded.

conclusions: ???????

I’ve been a UFO enthusiast for 2/3rds of my life and this is the most convincing alien encounters story I have ever heard.

Happy just-over-ten-years to this post. Early in its life, it was viewed by a seventeen-year-old aspiring astronomer who DESPISED it, thought it was the dumbest Space Post ever, got mad every time it crossed her dash. But this wasn’t anybody I knew, and she did the mature thing and didn’t send any hate mail about it, and went off and got her whole entire astrophysics degree without me ever finding out. So how do I know about this person’s deep dislike for this post? BECAUSE. I have, at press time, been sleeping next to her for three and a half years

Random thing for people to consider is that since Laika is the saint of one way trips should Felicette be known as the saint of safe landings since she did make it back to the ground safely

it still makes me go insane that somehow no social media site bothers to implement interleaved text and images. Fediverse cannot support it broadly, Bluesky can't handle it, Facebook can't do it, Twitter can't do it, fucking, LinkedIn doesn't do this, somehow only Tumblr has this, and it barely even counts as a popular social media site.

i can't overstate how much this used to be the default on blogging platforms. blogging used to involve as much mixed content as you felt like. the goofy defunct french blog platforms (Skyblog, U-blog) where i was making my first posts in 2004 had that. you could embed media or javascript or applets or anything you wanted. the reason this feels like a unique tumblr-only feature now is that rotten as it is tumblr is one of very few remaining blogging platforms in 2026. everything else is microblogging now. everything else is twitter now
