I promise you things will get so much better when you start processing people’s behavior as information rather than a verdict on your self-worth. If someone doesn’t text back, suddenly pulls away, whatever it may be, the solution isn’t to put on a tap dance for them and try to regain their approval. It’s not to crash out on them and try to force them to react a certain way. It’s just to take a step back, take a deep breath, and assess what this tells you. What’s this saying about them? What’s this saying about you??
This is what's so fucked up about "nothing that requires the labor of others is a human right".
The labor is already being done under capitalism. The laborers are already being underpaid under capitalism.
When you propose removing the greedy profiteers and paying the workers a reasonable wage, people call that "slavery" while they have no problem with the current system.
its devastating when someone, in good faith, draw a trans woman who looks like me: tall, scruffy facial hair, wide shoulders, far apart boobs, big nose and then the trans community dog piles them in the comments saying its evil to depict such a negative stereotype like that.
like actually fuck off fuck off fuck off FUCK OFF FUCK OFF!!!!! and then theyll fight me when i reply with my pov! like christ lets all just chill the math out please for the christ of love
it’s so weird because the trans women it’s describing are also describing cis people of color? Like, I’m sorry if I’m being weird about it but it feels like their idea of a woman was like based on misogyny/transmisogyny and racism

RED
These people might be younger than you or they have youthful manners. They can feel like your fans, your admirers, someone who looks up to you, either for support (both of you can support each other in one way or another) or guidance. They want to learn from you, to become someone like you, you're their role model.
They have a curious mind combined with dedication to learning. They're hard working and don't give up easily. You can feel motivated when you're around them, like their fire rubbing off on you. They can be a little childish or reckless but you will feel that they can achieve anything, their potential is limitless. It's that childlike candour that's fuelling their actions. When you talk to them, your mind won't have to spin, to look for hidden messages or schemes behind their smiles. What you see is what you get. That doesn't mean they're simple minded, single minded? Yes, a little bit, but not foolish, a little naive too. They're just honest. You will feel relaxed with them. You can let your guard down, especially if you're someone who finds it's hard to trust people. Your biggest supporters will be those whom you can trust easily.
If you struggle with feeling motivated, or tired by the busy life and constant hustle, or worry too much about the future. You will learn a lot from just observing these people living their lives. They don't worry too much about tomorrow, they aren't lost in the past either, they just try their best to live today to the fullest. Sometimes it's better to be with people who can offset your habits. They will give you a new perspective on life. Also, because they're passionate and hopeful, if you have any ideas that you want to execute, or plans that you're hatching, they will be your cheerleader. They will hype you up, express their excitement for your new plan and give you encouragement to go for it. You will want to be with people who believe in you, who can see the potential in you, who can give you optimistic feedback instead of just logical and sound advice. They can do that for you because they also believe in themselves. They walk the talk, they have substance.
Your supporters will be good friends, not just to you but to other people as well. They're generally kind and love companies. Their friendships aren't superficial at all. They treasure each one of the people in their lives deeply. They cherish your friendship with each other. They could be the kind of people who remind you of your memories shared together, the joy and hardship, the effort and comfort. You can see their sincerity and affection clearly and consistently. Being with them brings you peace and hope.
WHITE
These people are your silent supporters. You might not even notice them or can guess the extent they would go for to help you. You can always count on them, in the most mundane problems to dire situations. I feel that you're an independent person, someone who's quite stubborn about admitting their weaknesses. You don't feel comfortable asking for help, thinking that your problems are yours to solve and you don't want to burden others with them. You might have the tendency to think that your problems and you yourself can be a bit too much to people. You would assume that they won't understand you, much less sympathise with you. As a result, you don't ask for help much or expect support from people. You go about your quests alone. The people who can support you will be those who are perceptive enough to notice your burdens and subtle enough to not trigger your defence mechanism.
They can be people of few words, who act instead of talking. They're wise, experienced, that's why they can offer you their knowledge and practical support, even when you think you don't need it. They have a way that makes you feel at ease, you can depend on them, or you want to depend on them. They're persuasive with their actions, not with big talks. You connect well with people who share a familiar background with you or have familiar experiences. They can understand you because they've also gone through the same things. The people who support you understand pain and suffering. If that knowledge isn't from their past experience then at least, from the observations they've made throughout their lives. They're perceptive and compassionate, but in a silent way.
They're selfless. Some could even sacrifice themselves and their convenience for you. These people can protect you from harm, physically, mentally and emotionally, they're strong. They might not explain their reasons and actions with you but you will always know that they're doing it for your own good, even when it can be unpleasant. Their energy feels benevolent but a little bit wounded and cautious. You will see their good intentions and care when you look closely, when you don't let your ego get in the way.
You could meet your supporters through shared missions, causes, ideals. It's like people from different worlds gather together to form a band, to march forward together.
BLUE
These people have so much fire in them. When you look at them, you can't help but smile and feel life's good again. They will be a special light in your time of hardship. If you ever feel down or begin to lose faith, they will be there to remind you again the joy of life. These people have soft but jubilant energy. They know how to have fun and look for joy in the smallest corner of their everyday lives. They can appear youthful, childish even. They move and talk gracefully, some of them could have small stature but their small frames hold so much strength. They're strong but they're not aggressive or boastful about it. They know where to use their strengths. When you're with them, you will feel safe and motivated at the same time. Instead of standing in front of you in the face of a challenge to protect you, they will stand next to you to face the challenge together with you. Whether they do it intentionally or not, they let you come into your own strength and independence. They want you to be strong and happy, on your own, without having to depend on others. That doesn't mean they would encourage you to isolate yourself or be a solitary figure, or they don't give you a hand when needed, they just give you the opportunity to be more self-sufficient. If you're generally shy or aren't used to taking the initiative, they can create a safe space for you to do so.
Your supporters are those who are playful. They smile and laugh easily. They find many things adorable and beautiful. They might have a photography hobby. Just a random note, but they know how to take beautiful pictures of you, moments when you shine, when you're at your best, when you're at ease and enjoying the present. You would feel seen when you're with them, they can see the best in you and they encourage you to bring that part out more often. They can also challenge you a bit, just for fun. They might like fun games, like video games, sports, card games etc. For some of you, if you struggle with or find physical closeness uncomfortable, these people would understand that and give you space. But they're warm and affectionate so they can make you feel safe and relaxed enough to slowly feel more comfortable with their touches, hugs or other physical interactions.
Being with them would feel healing. Another random note but the scents and fragrances might be relevant in your connection. They could wear a scent that eases you. You can recognise these people by their comforting or alluring scents and their general care for their well beings. They know how to take care of themselves so they also know how to do that for other people too. They would want you to adopt healthy habits, improve your health, and live a better life. They won't nag you but they will guide you, give you advice and have their medicine cabinets ready whenever you need. Their energy feels wholesome, like a lifelong friend who can stay with you through ups and downs.
YELLOW
This group feels a bit like the White group, if you're drawn to the White group, you can read it too. Both group's supporters are people who can get the jobs done, who can manifest your dreams for you, who are silent but capable and sometimes ruthless. But this group's energy feels more cheeky, playful. They can have you fooled at first impression. Your first impression of them might not be too favourable, you might think that they're unreliable, unpredictable and have too many cards hidden in their sleeves. They can be a bit manipulative too, playing with people's perception and challenging their rooted beliefs. But that's exactly why they can be your deadly ally. They know the tricks, they know how to maneuver difficult circumstances, though their method might seem questionable to you sometimes. Like an employee who's willing to break the rules as long as it can bring benefits to the company.
They're greatly misunderstood most of the time. But it could be possible that they find it funny when they're misunderstood like that. As I've mentioned above, they like to play with people's perception, it gives them more leeway to do things their own way. Most of the time, they don't really have malicious intentions, they don't scheme to bring someone down, though they could scheme to gain the upper hand. They like to be behind the scenes, like a puppet master, controlling the situation and the people. They have a sharp mind and a charming, albeit a little cheeky, manner. They like to talk in riddles, they like mental games, but they also like other fun activities like sports, video games, tinkering with creations. As long as they feel amused. This person or these people would get bored quickly with mundane life.
So why can they be your biggest supporters? If you're in a close connection with them, they're willing to roll up their sleeves and solve your problems for you, any problems, with their unconventional methods. They will indirectly teach you how to be more resourceful, how to think in a bigger picture and how to keep your cool in the face of trouble or harsh judgement. They also keep their promises very well, even when they don't look like it. So if they want to help you, you bet that they would do everything they can to help you, simply because it can be a fun challenge to them.
They also bring a lot of fun into your life. They can feel like a sibling to you, sometimes a younger one, sometimes an older one. You'll never get bored with them, they can cheer you up, they can protect you, but they can also frustrate you to no end. They can be chatty, they can be philosophical, but they can also be silent and just observing. Seeing their myriad moods and "masks" can help you understand how complex a human can be and you will gain a more nuanced understanding of the psychology of people through interactions with them and observing how they operate in the world.
PURPLE
The first thing I got was that this person or these people could be merchants, someone who works in business, finance, commerce. They have excellent negotiation skills and persuasive manners. Hearing them talk could feel like being hypnotised or being convinced of something that you normally wouldn't believe in. They have the ability to instill beliefs in you, whether beliefs in your own ability, your potential or belief in a future with them.
When you're in doubt, they'll be the best person you could come to for help. They're intelligent, witty, resourceful and skillful. But there's always a catch, they don't usually help you for "free" though, they might have something to gain in helping you, either that would invest further into a future they want or they gain something indirectly through helping you. Or they just like to have an equal exchange, they help you, you help them. When you're asking for their help, it would feel like you're trying to make a bargain with them. It's not that bad though, you can learn a lot when you're with them. They might make it look like you have to return the favour but in reality, you're the one who benefits the most. It's just their way of dealing with you, maybe they find amusement in asking for a favour in return. It could create more chances for them to interact with you more.
If they're interested in you, whether romantically or not, their way of expressing interest can feel unconventional, like they try to vex you, to challenge you, to poke you a little. You will gradually learn to thicken your skin around them and take things in a more lighthearted manner. This would benefit you greatly if you're someone who's a little bit uptight or shy.
This group's energy feels very masculine. Your greatest supporters could be of masculine gender or they have strong masculine traits. But not the macho, aggressive or domineering type. Their energy feels more like the Magician card in Tarot, skillful, willful and have strong principles, even their external expression would make you doubt that. They just follow their own path without feeling the need to explain themselves. They might keep a lot of secrets, hidden plans that would surprise you but it will usually feel like a deus ex machina, a helping hand suddenly appears when you need it the most.
They also uphold their promises to you with unusual seriousness. If they promise to do something for you, whether big or small, they will do it. They're also oddly protective. You wouldn't guess it from their usual demeanour but when needed, when you are threatened, they can protect you, both physically and emotionally. Despite their unpredictability and secretive heart, they can be a dependable person for you to lean on. This group's energy feels like a single person rather than a group of people.
GREEN
This feels like several different people who can be your best supporters. They have different personalities, different talents, resources, different relationships with you. But they all can support you in many ways. I think you're an independent person who's quite good at solving their own problems and can achieve their goals on their own without much outside help. There are many things that you rather do on your own, it's faster that way, more efficient. A lot of your big dreams are realised by your own ability, your own effort and talent. Or it would seem that way. In reality, the people around you support you, cheer on you more than you know. They might not provide a grand support with apparent effects but their existences alone are enough to give you strength. They might be the motivational force behind your goals.
I see three different kinds of people who can be your best supporters. The first group are those who are optimistic and always believe in harmony and shared effort. They might be the kind who likes to do things together with you. Who likes to cheer you up, encourages you to try new hobbies, new endeavours, who believes in your potential. Their encouraging words and faith are their biggest gift to you. They might not be able to lend you practical help or material resources, but they can give you the best emotional support. When you're with them, you'll feel uplifted, hopeful and joyful too.
The second group are your silent supporters. They can be quiet, they don't like to stand in the spotlight and prefer to do things behind the scenes. They don't feel the need to hoard attention to themselves nor receive praise for their good deeds. If they want to help you, they help you, with no expectation of anything in return. It could feel like a duty to them. Someone who's loyal and dedicated. They might want to help you from a far or give you valuable information that can help you progress further.
The last group are the funny ones. They're funny in the literal sense but they also act funny in a quirky and head-scratching kind of way. You could never expect or believe that they can help you. This energy feels like children, young people. Or people who can be quite skittish and scaredy cats, who don't seem to have any obvious power. But don't be fooled. They can give you help in the most crucial time. They're much stronger and more brave than you think. Their words, their presences feel healing to you. Maybe they can give you an innocent observation that can awaken a new perception in you, they might give you a merry hug when you feel like crying. For some of you, when you're in their presence, you feel protected, energetically. Like they have a strong spiritual shield that can shield you away from harm.
OH MY GOD… my baby Qais’s heart stopped tonight. I ran through darkness carrying him, screaming for help, until doctors said severe anemia from his bleeding nearly killed him again.
Today we ran out of clean bandages and medicine, and I had no money left to replace them. I never imagined I would beg strangers to help me care for my child.
I am begging you with everything I have left—please don’t let this happen again. Donate now, because your donation could be the only thing that keeps my baby alive.
After they stabilized him, I held his hand and felt how cold it was, like life was slipping away quietly. Please, I beg you, don’t leave us—donate now and help me save him.
The doctor told me that due to malnutrition and lack of treatment, my baby Qais has developed severe anemia. I have no money to get what he needs. Please, can you donate now so I can buy his medicine and food?
you guys make such pretty gifs with such pretty captions and coloring like even when i dont go to a fandom i'll see gifs and be like wow that person is cool and that is still true after over a decade on this site. i think gifs are cool and that is why i'm stranded here forever. i love u gifs and gifmakers
The Death of the Digital Ecosystem: Why Decoupling Notes Destroys Tumblr
@staff (Edit: I already sent this to Tumblr Support under the feedback option. I encourage everyone to send feedback on how bad this feature actually is).
For years, the total note count on a post served as a universal metric of a piece of content's impact. Whether a user liked the original post or a reblog fifteen branches deep, that engagement flowed back to the source. This ensured that the original artist, writer, or editor received the full credit for the viral success of their work.
Under this new system, engagement is trapped within the specific reblog a user happens to see on their dashboard. If a massive, high-traffic blog reblogs a piece of art from a small creator, every like and reblog that occurs through that larger account stays with them. The original creator is left with a stagnant note count on their own dashboard while their work generates thousands of interactions for someone else.
Erasure of Creator Visibility
Instead of seeing one post with 10,000 notes, a creator may now have to hunt through dozens of different reblog chains to find where the conversation is actually happening.
If the notes no longer flow back to the original post, the creator loses the ability to see who is enjoying their work, what the tags say, and how the community is responding.
On a platform where engagement often dictates visibility, splitting that engagement into tiny, unlinked fractions makes it significantly harder for original works to gain momentum compared to the high-reach blogs that reblog them.
Incentivizing the "Big Blog" Monopoly
This system rewards accounts that have already established a large following at the direct expense of the smaller accounts that actually produce the content. It transforms reblogging from a method of sharing into a method of acquisition.
When a reblog functions as its own independent post with its own note count, the incentive to click through to the original source disappears. The platform is transitioning from a collaborative ecosystem into a standard social media feed where the person who posts the content last—not the person who made it—reaps the rewards.
Impact on Collaborative Conversations
Tumblr’s unique culture is built on the reblog chain: a chronological, evolving conversation. By allowing users to like or reblog "any part" of the chain as an independent entity, the platform is breaking the narrative thread.
If engagement is siloed into specific branches, the incentive to add to a conversation is replaced by an incentive to simply own a piece of the engagement. This change doesn't encourage conversation. It encourages the commodification of individual posts within a chain, making it harder for the original voice to ever be heard over the noise of the rebloggers.
The Disincentive to Create
Perhaps the most damaging aspect of this update is the psychological toll on the creative community. When the platform actively diverts credit and engagement away from the source, it destroys the motivation to share original work at all.
For many, the reward for posting is seeing how far their work travels. If that travel is now invisible or attributed to others, the labor of creating becomes thankless.
This system makes creators want to share nothing. If the platform is built to harvest a creator's effort for the benefit of curator blogs, the logical response is to stop providing the raw material. I am one leaning into this category. Without us creators, the curator blogs have nothing to curate.
By making it harder to protect and track one's own work, the platform is effectively telling creators that their presence is secondary to the conversations happening around their work: conversations they may no longer even be able to find.
disabled people who do not directly "contribute" to society and need large amounts of care and resources to survive deserve not only to survive but to have comfort, stability, and fun within their lives while they do. no compromises.
isn't it ridiculous how you're only allowed to have types when you're into conventional appearance and conventionally attractive things. if you're into fat people you're immediately labeled as a fat fetishist but exclusively dating skinny people is just normal. if you're into muscular women you're a disgusting gooner with a muscle mommy fetish but if you're into muscular men you're literally just a regular person. thinking feet is attractive is a fetish but being into boobs is the normalest thing ever even though both are non-sexual body parts
you know even if a homeless person or a starving person is in that position because of their own "bad decisions" i don't care. it doesn't matter. no supposed financial misstep is enough to condemn someone to homelessness or poverty.
Search and rescue teams do not ask if a hiker was properly equipped and prepared before they go out to look for them.
EMTs do not ask if a driver checked their mirrors before they take them to the hospital.
Lifeguards do not ask if a swimmer made a mistake by going into a riptide before they dive in after them.
Judgement doesn't help anyone, including you, the person doing the judging. Just help people. Just shut the fuck up and help people.
Every time one of my mutuals reblogs something from me this exact imagine pops up in my mind and have to restrain myself from saying this stupid ass sentence out loud
you won't believe the weather we've been getting [remembers to avoid giving away my location] the sky was turned to darkness and the moon to blood, and the stars fell from the heavens.
