You want humanfist.tumblr.com long story short I joined tumblr for a now completed rp and tumblr won't let me change my "main" blog so I like and follow from here but post at humanfist (because it is the blog human running the blog of the alien who's actual first name is Fist get it).
TGIRL MOVING OUT FUND!!!!!!!!!
hi everyone !!! ive got good news, we got a new apartment that should hopefully be a lot cheaper (and nicer), but now we just have to manage to get in. we really need money to be able to afford moving in, both for the apartment costs (first & last months rent, deposit, setting up utilities) and for transporting all of our belongings (renting a uhaul or something)
if we're not able to get the money in time (about a month from now, deadline is tbd, somewhere in april) we will not be able to move in. we'll make some money, but with how expensive rent is we've been living paycheck to paycheck and spending 90% of our money on rent, leaving.. not a lot of room for everything else.
if you can help, you'll be getting 2 tgirls get a home that can hopefully be semi-permanent. we'd really, really, really appreciate it

Redeem your free estrogen today and you too can be a girl
The image was just boxes of estrogen btw.
Oh hey I took this picture. Thank you tumblr from protecting us from estrogen.
Beyond that, it seems that staff actually nuked the notes of the post??? Horrendous behaviour.
To expand on the notes thing, I think that as long as you can access all the notes in a post from one point, e.g. the root post, you have basically preserved the important part which is getting to see everything going on under a post, and maybe added a valuable addition (being able to see branches of a post), the clout is real but not that real, e.g. note farming with "oh no don't let this post get 100k notes" is basically an annoyance.
I think the ideal behaviour would probably be more like "each reblog with content constitutes a new branch which gets all the notes below it, but that number is not shown anywhere" because this would let you follow an offshoot of a post more easily which is often what you want to do.
if we can branch we should also be able to merge and rebase
anyway looks like they made the baffling decision to totally hide global notes from anyone including the OP, this is a bad design, trawling the notes of a post for interesting threads is a great time! As the OP you can't see replies to your post more than 1 post away from you, which makes every post require many more interactions to find where different people are branching off. It's fine to have that but a global view would be appreciated, and is basically how the sites they're trying to imitate do this: if you open a twitter post it shows you all the threads of replies leading off it, even ones that are a few replies long.
You can see the entire reblog chain, in the reblog graph view which isn't very useful, and global replies do not exist. This is an extremely confusing way to handle tumblr reblogs.
Notably this means if you start a reply chain you cannot easily follow any threads that start more than one reblog away from you unless you're the OP without following each one individually which is I think better for the 1% of tumblr users whose notes are permaclogged with discourse but worse for anyone whose notes are in the sub-1000's range.w
This basically treats all reblogs as a new root post that happens to have some stuff transcluded on top of it which is baffling on account of: it's obviously related to the above post.
I don't really care about where note numbers go, like, there's no clout, but this means the following interaction is almost intractable:
Alice makes a post
Bob reblogs the post with a comment
Carol reblogs Bob and says something about both Alice and Bob's posts
Alice reblogs from Carol to say something, incorporating both reblogs
It's difficult because the chance that Alice even sees Carol's post is zero unless she goes to Bob's post and checks all his notes. And we can fairly safely assume that what Carol says has to do with Alice's post! It's on her post!
Like I said, a tree system where notifications flow upwards would probably make more sense than what we have now, this just turns all reblogs into awkward islands that are hard to interact with and take longer to scan.
A glaring problem with the new reblog note system: If user B reblogs a post from user A, and then user C reblogs it from user B - and nobody adds comments - the second-level reblog is not shown in the note count of the original post. It is just gone. If user C adds tags, the only way to see it is to look at every individual reblog in the reblogs graph until you find it. Here's an example that I just saw happen:
Person C's reblogged a post from person B (me, in this case, who reblogged the original post directly) and added #reblog. I didn't add a comment or tag, so according to @tumblr's post, that note should go to person A'. But the reblogs list only shows reblogs directly from the original post. So any tags beyond first-level reblogs? There is currently no way to see them.
This update is unintuitive, adds unnecessary steps, makes it more difficult to hold conversations and interact with other users, and should be reverted as soon as possible.
Since some of you don't seem to understand how this 'new notes' thing works, I'll break it down:
I'm the OP. I'm making this post. If you like, comment, reblog (without comment) on this post, then I'm the one who will see all those notes in my activity page.
However...
If you reblog (with comment), I will get a notification that you did that, but any likes/comments/reblogs (without comment) you get on that reblog will only be shown to you. As OP I won't see them.
If someone adds a reblog (with comment) to your reblog...as OP I won't see that. I won't see any of those notes in my activity page.
Basically, if someone with a large following makes a comment, then they will get all the notes and OP will see nothing. If OP has said something silly because they're, y'know, 21 and it happens, and then someone reblogs it onto the dash of someone with a large following who then dunks on them for fun? OP doesn't see it, doesn't get notes for it, but they're gonna get the harrassment for it in their inbox.
If I, someone with a 5 digit follower count, reblog something to correct misinformation on Ancient Egypt, then OP will never see it unless it was on the original post, but I will continue to get notes on that post even though it's not my post. If I reblog fanart, or just art in general, with a comment like 'Oh this is so lovely!' then OP will not see any of the notes from people reblogging it from me. They'll only see my reblog. So it's possible for an art post by someone else to have 200 notes for them, but 9000 for someone who reblogs it with a comment, and the OP artist will have no idea it's been seen by that many people.
It's killing blow to the community we've built here, by someone higher up who doesn't understand that being able to see all the comments and reblogs is what makes this site the place I keep coming back to.
That's what sucks.
I encourage people to go to tumblr's support page, select contact support, and then in the dropdown menu select 'Feedback' and leave polite and constructive feedback (for those of you who enjoy 'emails worded politely but are a strong 'are you an idiot?', try that way of wording it). They're more likely to listen to you if you're not an asshole about it. I've already gone and done this, and I hope others will too.
Hey OP, thank you explaining this for us. I'd like to also add to please submit all feedback by commenting on tumblr's CHANGES sideblog (link below). based on the tumblr support email i just received and many others have already received, tumblr engineers are monitoring their feedback more closely there.
You can access it here.
Please.
We need all the feedback we can. Support tickets, reblogs, but most importantly THE CHANGES SIDE BLOG.
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!
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.
Please make the notes also go to the op and allow op to be able to turn off reblogs. The other parts of the changes are fine.
i like this better actually
Caine trying to think up a new adventure?
I have a suggestion...
An immigration system based on you finding someone in the target country who wants to move to your country and then you swap places. The two countries come to an agreement about how similar your foreign double needs to be (perhaps they about the same about of money, or consume the same amount of welfare etc).
This way immigration and emigration won't affect the structure or tax-burden of a country while allowing more freedom at the personal level. More people get to live where they want, and basically no concerns that immigration opponents have apply (if you require your foreign double has the traits they care about). The immigrants don't take our jobs/homes (a job/home was freed by the emigrant), use our welfare (the emigrant was using the same amount of welfare), and loyalty is potentially better too since the immigrant lives in their preferred country.
Yeah thats how it works you just make sure they are the same caste and it basically works out.
Yeah let's make a system for immigration specifically designed to maintain global inequality
(ooc: I realize I orignally forgot to tag it, but as stated in the description this is an RP blog, and the setting is a dystopia that actually does that)

Imagining a world where all the seasons are twice the length. We'd lose our minds. There'd be cannibalism in the streets every hyperjanuary.
Your seasons are actually pretty short.
another emergency comm i did
Marie Curie's notebooks are crazy once you think about it. They're so radioactive they have to be sealed in a lead box. Imagine a world where atomic theory is forgotten and a dude just goes "yea there's a book that details the secrets of the universe, the machinations of the creation of existence down to its barest essentials, but if you get close to it you fucking die. The more you read it the more your body slowly disassembles into mush." like wat excuse me
Hate it when TikTok farm cosplayers and cottagecore types say stuff like "I'm not going to use modern equipment because my grandmothers could make do without it." Ma'am, your great grandma had eleven children. She would have killed for a slow cooker and a stick blender.
I’ve noticed a sort of implicit belief that people used to do things the hard way in the past because they were tougher or something. In reality, labor-saving devices have been adopted by the populace as soon as they were economically feasible. No one stood in front of a smoky fire or a boiling pot of lye soap for hours because they were virtuous, they did it because it was the only way to survive.
My great-grandmother on my father's side came to Oklahoma on a covered wagon as a child, so she pre-dated most modern appliances.
When my dad was a kid, he asked his grandma what things were like in the good old days.
She leaned down, looked him in the eye, and said:
"The good old days began the day they invented air conditioning."
She was a woman who had done everything both ways, and she was very clear about how easy her dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, blender, toaster, etc made her life by comparison.
