just saw a 'comments' tab on someones blog you know where the following and likes tabs would be if enabled and it was just showing all the replies theyve made on peoples posts. this is fascinating when did this feature come out

[parakeet]

EMERGENCY - ITS AUTO ENABLED!

if you've made replies on posts there is now a tab on your blog showing every post youve replied to and your reply.

if this is not what you want, either go to your blog and click comments and disable it from there or just go to your individual blogs setting pages. just change it from blue to grey if you dont want everyone to see your replies AND the post you're replying to

PLEASE BE ADVISED that it is set to disabled for blogs that have not made any replies but it will turn ON if you reply with that blog in the future.! i just tested it with my main, which was greyed out but it turned on the moment i left a test reply

figured i'd get the word out bc i have not seen a single mention of this and i'm sure there are plenty of people who maybe comment on things they don't want on display for everyone to see on their blog lol. you can still look at your replies with it toggled off just no one else can, like locking the following and likes list

[parakeet]

so for some reason this feature was actually announced on the tumblr engineering blog. interesting choice not to reblog it to the staff or tumblr blog, esp considering they asked for user input on how to implement it, but i suppose considering the response to the last update maybe the replies would be too overwhelming...

so couple of clarifications. comments are disabled as default for primary blogs that have their likes disabled. they are seemingly enabled for all other blogs that have replied to posts

posts you comment on may show on your followers 'for you' page if you leave your replies publically available. they may, in the future, show in on your followers dashboard if your follower goes to their dash settings and enables this. apparently, if your likes are enabled, your followers can already see those on the dash if they've gone into preferences and selected to do so, which I was unaware of, and that seems to be disabled at default, but it's possible i disabled it previously and forgot about it ig

californians, consider calling your state assemblymembers in order to object to the current budget proposal stripping Medi-Cal (our Medicaid) from asylees and refugee applicants except in emergencies. also, they’re agreeing to reduce the asset limit for many Medi-Cal recipients back to $2000. That number means that the maximum amount a Medi-Cal recipient who is aged, blind, or disabled can have in the bank at any time is $2000. That figure is obscenely low, and it’s actually lower by about fifty bucks than the amount they’re allowed to get each month in income.* if enacted this policy change will vastly hurt thousands of seniors and disabled people and i’m not kidding. please speak up if you can.

i've been phasing the phrase 'google it' out of my vocabulary and going back to 'look it up'. fuck you youve lost your generic trademark privileges

It really irks me when people are like 'lol Cloud went snowboarding immediately after Aerith died!!' NO!! NO HE DIDN'T!!!!

After she dies, a still grieving Cloud goes to the Icicle Inn where he finds the house Aerith was born in, complete with video tapes of her biological mom and a dad she never knew she had falling in love with eachother before deciding to have her. You hear them choose her name. The final tape shows Hojo gunning down her father and kidnapping Aerith and her mom, thus beginning a lifetime of Shin-ra torture, while the player is left with the heartbreaking realization that if Aerith had lived just a little bit longer, she could have known everything about herself she ever wanted to including how loved and wanted she was from the very start. And now she never will, rubbing an incredible amount of salt in a very fresh wound. and THEN Cloud went snowboarding, which is way funnier.

[mealreminders]

This has gotta be one of the funniest things I've ever seen. 😂😂😂

Remember to eat, my loves! There's a whole world of delicious joy awaiting you!

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

I try really hard to be positive and not self-insult my skill level or the work that goes into making things in front of the kiddo, for the obvious good parenting uplift and inspire reasons blah blah, but I let myself whine and pity-party tonight because (counting a handful of copypasta images of mine for color grabbing) I’m literally up to 38 layers because I don’t know how to SEE things correctly and recreate them and bless their sweet soul:

Me, with a clearly sarcastic and whiny tone: “painting is a stupid hobby, don’t do it”

My baby: “don’t give up on what you love! ❤️✨”

😭

[kkelenca]

I’m serious, 38 cursed layers and counting _(߹𖥦߹」∠)_

This Pride Month, remember:

We're here, we're queer, we're really fucking tired so we're just gonna go straight to biting instead of feigning polite confusion if you're gonna be a bigot this time, just so you know.

Happy Pride!

[gothiccharmschool]

I support all of you biting bigots. Do that.

[nepofledgling]

happy pride month from sápmi! ❤️💚💛💙 I want to show you the sámi pride flag, it’s a rainbow version of the sámi flag (bottom left picture) and I think it’s really beautiful

[nepofledgling]

happy pride month from sápmi again!

One of the terrifying things about chronic illness is watching time slip away from you. You spend almost all of your time just surviving, and like that you watch days turn into months and months turn into years and the time you have in which to do things slip away from you. But the pain and fatigue and the shear difficulty of living won't let up enough for you to actually live your life, so you just have to keep watching it pass you by.

people hate it when i say "black people getting cancer is racist" but im literally fucking right because systemic racism has led to chemical dumping being acceptable in black/brown neighborhoods and black people have higher rates of cancer as a result

[nonaferatu]

the "cancer belt" is also just a metric for black/brown population density and that is a function of a racist society

@theejuggler : #same shit going on with data centers right now

One of the reasons (arguably the primary reason) that Flint Michigan has had decades of poor-quality water is because of automobile manufacturing utilizing lead in their production and gasoline and then dumping it into the river.

Data centers also need a lot of water to function and we know time and time again from history that companies will sooner poison everyone in a zip code than safely process industrial waste.

[would-you-punt-them]

wait is it really true that "the noughties" isn't just a common expression in most of the world???

like, people must at least know it, right? it's just that i don't want to put it in a post and have everyone stare at me blankly like they did when i said "fortnight"

Do you ever use the term "noughties"?

Yeah, I'll use it sometimes / interchangeably

Nope, I'd personally never think to say it, but I'm familiar with the word

I've literally never seen that word before in my life

Remaining time: 2 days 8 hours

[would-you-punt-them]

you as a child in the noughties

[would-you-punt-them]

see. this is why they stopped naming decades after 2009. because all of you thought you were hot shit and such whimsy was beneath you.

and now look where we are. the fucking "tWeNtY-TwEnTiEs"

[transkojiro]

you're all so miserable, noughties is such a fun name for the decade

[kkelenca]

Noughties and I remain besties from the day it was created and they can take it from me when they pry it from my cold, dead “geriatric millennial” fingers

Happy Pride!

[rootbeergoddess]

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

[candycoloredwolf]

Anyone gonna mention how this guy actually preformed live with Carly Rae Jepsen?

[restfromthestreets]

I’m gonna scream is2g

[galaxa-13]

I was thinking of reblogging this again just because the original video is still amazing, but then I see the second video and lost my mind. The upgraded fan, the body glitter, the sheer fact that he got to do this with the actual singer.

When my mother forgets a word, she is the queen of coming up with new words. Words that would take a third National Treasure movie to fully decipher. I was talking to her yesterday, and she said this: “You know the time for los jibbities is coming up. You must be so excited!” Oh, is it time for los jibbities already? I must have missed it on my calendar. Are we celebrating something? “Of course! We should all be celebrating, shouldn’t we?” OK, so los jibbities is a happy thing. It’s not like something is giving you the heebie-jeebies, which would have been my one and only guess. “Los heebie-jeebies? Now you’re making things up...and this is my show.” You’re right. The time for los jibbities is coming up. Is this a season? “Yes, the season for love. The season for pride.” OK, los jibbities. “Yeah, sound it out.” Los…jibbities. LGBTs! “Sí, mira cuz you’re gay!” “You couldn’t just say pride season? You couldn’t just… *laughs*

[party-gilmore]

HAPPY LOS JIBBITIES EVERYBODY!!!

The time for Los Jibbities has arrived!
