tumblr is great bc its like a diary where I can take other peoples diary entries and glue them into my own diary

[hotvampireadjacent]

Sweden ????

[ashketchupandfries]

So Sweden used to give random citizens control over the official @Sweden Twitter account for like a day/week/month or whatever. As you can see why, it didn’t last long

[leninthesixth]

what do you mean it didn't last long they did this for like seven years between 2011 and 2018 they didn't stop doing it because someone tweeted about cock sdfgsdfgsdfgsdf they kept doing it for four more years after this

Being chalant is one of the most beautiful ways to demonstrate love and interest. Be expressive. Let me know. Say the kind thing. Risk being cringe. Don't make me guess your feelings. Life is too short for that.

aaaaand, new scenario:

A third button has been added. everyone who presses the red button survives regardless, but if a majority press the red button, everyone else dies. If a majority of people press the blue button, everyone survives—except for anyone who presses the green button. Everyone who presses the green button gets a crisp 1 dollar bill

which button do you press

saw a comment that misspelled “kind gesture” as “kind jester” and am now imagining a beautiful world where we praise good samaritans by calling them kind jesters. good on you, you gentle fool. you’ve made the world a sweeter and sillier place.

gxrl i do not care if being fat “makes you hot” or not. i do not care. you need to eat so you can experience life as a full fucking person. you are a whole ass person bitch, not an entity that can solely be reduced to being desirable as an object!!! you have other concerns or fulfillment in life besides ensuring how fuckable you are!!! eat your damn food!!!!

[moldavite]

my fav thing in the entire world is witnessing people try new things. almost teared up at this bc i love it so much

[hollowistheworld]

I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.

You'll also notice that these are all problems that are framed as solvable through individual planning, willpower, and dedication

Which is a great way to distract people from examining the societal systems and structures that are responsible for the problem in the first place.

We have always existed, and we always will.

[alagaisia]

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

[alagaisia]

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

[alagaisia]

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

[watermelon-converse]

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

[emi--rose]

Hell yeah moon holiday

[hello-delicious-tea]

Ooh coming up we should celebrate

[ariaste]

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

[sarostheghostcat]

MOON DAY MOON DAY MOON DAY

[wafflebloggies]

moon day is 20th July!!!

[silly-jellyghoty]

Scheduling this a day earlier to remind you all and myself about the Moon Day tomorow!

[sashaforthewin]

Happy moon day to all who celebrate

[kitsuneofthemist]

This is your reminder to prep for Moon Day on July 20th.

[inkyrainstorms]

MOON DAY MONDAY THIS MONTH NOT A DRILL!!!!!

bud you disabled comments

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

I disabled my comments section because it was full of bots trying to scam people

how someone sets their boundaries has absolutely nothing to do with censorship.

censorship is when someone tries to control other people what they can or can’t create and consume.

censorship is not about a random person disabling their own comments section for whatever reason. censorship is not about people blocking other people on social media as their way of setting boundaries and curating their internet experience. censorship is not about disrespecting other people’s boundaries and censorship is not about tolerating it when other people disrespect you or your boundaries.

so your comment is entirely irrelevant to the point. I say censorship is bad. you say but the sky is not green.

I'm really jealous of this one tiny feature of the Japanese tax system called furusato nozei which is the "hometown tax." Basically you can choose to pay like, some locality taxes to your hometown rather than say, just the big city you currently live in, AND, as a bonus, some of that tax money can be exchanged for select goods from the locality you're paying taxes to.

So if you live in Tokyo, you can delegate some of your tax money to like, another prefecture instead.

So you get like, a "gift" box of stuff from that town. It's not actually a gift, you're getting the item at a slightly higher than retail price, but it's from the tax money you already paid. So it FEELS like a gift. AND you can tell that other place that you want your tax money to go to like, x or y specific thing.

Example 1 (music loud unfortch) and example 2

And I just think this would be fun to do in the US, maybe on a state level (+ inclusive of reservation funding) Imagine being like "yeah I grew up in Arizona so I'm sending some of my state tax money there and telling them that I want it to go to education. and in return they're going to send me a box with some jars of prickly pear jelly, a bag of masa, a bolo tie, a bag of oranges, and a USB drive."

I'm very jealous.

[mr-crocodile]

This becomes a lot more meaningful and sad of a feature when you remember that the main reason for the hometown tax is that the demographic collapse of Japan combined with the emptying of its rural areas as older people die and younger people move to cities has resulted in many rural municipalities becoming insolvent.
