To appreciate this story, please understand that my child Bear, aged 9, is nonjudgmental and dreamy, and Mouse - aged 3 - is wildly charming, but above all things requires that OTHER people behave with DECENCY and DECORUM.
Today, Mouse’s principles had been compromised, because (among other things) I had allowed their two-year-old friend to finish eating an apple core that Mouse had not entirely abandoned (violating an ancient rule of chivalry) but when this was pointed out, I hissed privately that we had to let the baby eat the apple, citing some obscure law about ‘hospitality’. I had also asked Mouse to overlook this baby’s other crimes, such as chucking toy cars about, and flagrantly hogging a small balloon.
“That,” mouse says strongly, all propriety outraged, “is NOT sharing!!!”
Earlier in the day, after swimming, when Mouse’s best friend Bess acquired some gummy snacks, Bess did NOT trade them with a favourable exchange rate for Mouse’s generously offered cheese snacks; and one of Mouse’s other good friends, Syndy, has invited them over to play fire engines NEXT week. Attentive minds will instantly notice that this is not THIS week, when Mouse would prefer it to happen.
Syndy furthermore is persisting in having their birthday party in MARCH, not tomorrow - I DO hope you can understand the stress that Mouse is under. Also, Mouse has - in their own opinion- generously offered to forgive these crimes, by kissing and making up; but, although their friends often accept the snog, they continue the crimes. Thus, poor Mouse! The last defender of good manners! A parfait gentil knight! Is reduced to screaming: THIS IS NOT WHAT WE DO. That is TOO MUCH.
(Bess demonstrated being Too Much this morning by uncoupling their car seat and climbing into the boot of a car, and sprinting across a parking lot while their sire howled in anguish; while respecting Bess’s tremendous coolness and defiance, Mouse is the first one to condemn their wild behaviour, and the loudest voice to shriek: “NO BESS YOU ARE BEING TOO MUCH.”)
When Mouse, aged 3, and I came downstairs this evening - I had just had a Mouse-assisted shower- we found that Bear, aged 9, was watching Galaxy Quest with their sire.
Mouse watched with appreciation as a pretty lady on the screen snogged an attractive man. “Oh,” they said, tenderly, delighted.
The kiss deepened. “OH!” Mouse hooted, and coo’ed with approval, as someone who snogs their friends with almost-alarming lack of discrimination - they said, supportively, “oh good! A good kiss.”
The lady produced some tentacles.
“Oh, WHAT?” mouse said, aggrieved by this. “Oh WHAT!!!!”
The lady produced more tentacles, and helpfully dragged the man under.
“THAT IS NOT,” howled a beleaguered Mouse, “HOW WE KISSING.” And they proceeded to shriek in outrage; “NO LADY! That is NOT NICE KISSING! YOU STOP IT!”
The snogging continued. The man disappeared.
“MUMMY,” Mouse shrieked, “MUMMY, LADY NOT NICE KISSING!”
“Er,” i said.
“HIM SAD,” mouse said, feeling tremendously on the side of the gentleman, “THAT IS TOO MUCH.”
“Well, you see, Mousey,” I said, inadequately: “sometimes, some ladies are squids…”
I petered out.
Bear came to the fore. “And some boys,” they declared, with confidence, “are octopuses.”
I like to imagine Mouse's narration was nearly identical to the man's own internal monologue during the struggle.
The Force will be with you, always. HAPPY STAR WARS DAY!
No, no it isn’t.
this gif is perfectly timed because it gives you enough time to read it, comprehend it, and still have this too-long-for-comfort moment of suspense before being punched square in the solar plexus
You can have any animal for a pet. Any complications such as “keeping the animal healthy and happy” and “the time and effort it would take to keep happy and healthy pet” and “keeping yourself uneaten” and “the pet I want is kind of extinct” have all been solved perfectly. You don’t have to think of that.
What is your pet?

But Tumblr says this will build engagement; and Tumblr is an honorable site.
(feel free to reblog this any way you want, if you want.)
Friends, tumblerinas, feigalach of all kinds, lend me your ear. I come to mourn the reblog chain, not to praise her
The good that features do, is mentioned after them. Their frustrating parts are oft intered with their bones, so let it be, with the reblog chain
The noble tumblr had told you the reblog chain denied engagement. If it were so, it was a grievous fault, and grievously the reblog chain paid for it
Here, under leave of tumblr and its @staff, for tumblr is an honorable site, so are its staff, honorable in their help, come I to speak, at the reblog chain's final moments
She was a good feature. Simple, and engaging to me, but tumblr says it denied engagement and tumblr is an honorable site
It had brought many memes to the world, who's sharing did the userbase grow, did this, in the reblog chain, deny engagement?
When that the meme did flop, the reblog chain had not notes! Engagement denial should be made of lesser stuff, yet tumblr says it denied engagement and tumblr is an honorable site
You all did see that in the last 3 years thrice users of other sites flocked to it, and thrice they had not stayed because opening Tumblr for the first time sucks, and absolutely never for the reblog chain, but tumblr says it did deny engagement, and Tumblr, is an honorable site
I speak not to disprove what tumblr spoke, but here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love her once, not without cause: What cause withholds you then, to mourn for her? O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, And @changes have lost their reason. Bear with me; my heart is in the coffin there with the reblog chain, and I must pause till it come back to me.
Ja, Jonatan, ja, jag ser notiserna! JAG SER NOTISERNA!
Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes
The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve.
Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.
If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.
Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.
This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!
Let's talk about reblog notes.
We rolled out a significant change to how notes work on reblogs, and the reaction has been strong. We're not going to pretend otherwise.
First things first: We're reversing the change. Your feedback in comments, emails, and especially reblogs, made clear that the rollout created problems we need to address before moving forward. We also should have communicated this differently from the start, and we didn't.
We still believe there's a better version of how reblogs can work. One that gives every voice in a chain the credit it deserves. But we want to get there with you.
In the coming days we'll share more on how we plan to do that, including ways to work directly with some of you on this and future changes before they ship.
Keep an eye on @staff for updates to come soon.
So, many posts have been made on the subject of Tumblr’s latest update that explain the situation, here and here.
I don’t know if this will work out, but here is a compilation of actions that can be taken to make Tumblr @staff take notice:
1. Feedback on the support form, just reblogging posts will not work except raise awareness, which is still important. So write a feedback, (find an example here) comment on the @changes Tumblr’s post, instagram, twitter. And don’t do it once! Come back to it a few days, weeks.
2. You can vote on this poll
4. And finally, a word is spreading to stop using Tumblr from March 18th to 20th. Hoping that a drop in activity will make staff understand that we are not happy and go back to the former setting.
If you want to reblog art, in the meantime here is a PSA on the new etiquette regarding reblogging. (another one)
I’ll be doing that so you won’t find me for the next few days starting tomorrow. Discord is a way to contact me if necessary.
And I’ll be posting my writing on ao3 until there is a change in the settings.
Edit: all my fics will be set in private for the meantime. I don't feel comfortable not having control over my own writing.
What we wanted: Boops but with knives for the Ides of March.
What we got: The worst UI change in the history of Tumblr.
What we wanted - something to celebrate the assassination! The betrayal! A knife in the back!
What we got - a... Uh... Betrayal... A knife in the back even.
Okay well. When you put it like that I guess you deserve all the notes of my post.

It’s very clear that you all have strong feelings about Tumblr and about this change. We hear you. The passion people have for how Tumblr works is one of the things that makes this place special.
As this rolls out over the next few days and you explore it, we’ll keep reading your replies and reblogs, so please keep sharing your questions, concerns, and ideas.
Your creativity has always been the heart of Tumblr, whether you’re the original poster or adding something brilliant in the reblogs, and nothing about this change is meant to limit that.
If you’d like to talk directly beyond the comments, leave a reply and we’ll follow up with as many of you as we can. We want to work with you to make Tumblr better.
hey folks do we like this. reblog without commentary for reach
do we want this?
yes
no
can more people frame this dumbass update as destroying the flow of communication on this platform and not "stealing" notes from people. they're made up numbers on a screen babe nobody's getting paid by the note
