Poll runner's ship song:

Vrisrezi:

literally the most important ship in the comic. Their relationship makes literally everything happen. Vriska contacting John was because she was trying to compete with Terezi. Terezi felt like she was responsible for dealing with Vriska which led to shit. no spac [pt 2]. its just really good. they're weirdly obsessed with each other. its literallyd escribed as competitive codependency by hussie. its literally the best ship.

Vrisrezi is literally sooo important to me. The scourge sisters ever. They hate each other but they love each other but they're moirails. They hurt each other and loathed each other for a while but deep down they still caref about each other. Terezi regretting killing Vriska so much. Vriska loving Terezi but not knowing how to express it but showing it in her own way. Just. Them <33333333

The crazy thing is that estrogen actually would have fixed pjackk but unfortunately he's made of metal so needles don't work on him

[txttletale]

good to see something, at least, but the phrasing of the rollback announcement is hardly reassuring. i honestly don't care too much what they do, though, so long as they do not hide any interactions from the OP. that was the catastrophically bad element of this and if they do all the other silly bullshit without that the site will b salvageable

[txttletale]

make sure everything 'downstream' of you still shows up in your notifs

add an 'all replies/all reblogs' view in the notes

fix all the obviously silly oversights like breaking blocks and reblog control

three steps that are a prerequisite for making whatever change some exec is clearly pushing for without annihilating this site's good qualities @staff @changes

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!

[tumblr]

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.

this is the first shitty change to make me ACTUALLY consider leaving the platform, impressive

[stqff]

We here at Tumblr have noticed everyone has very strong feelings about every post on this site being changed to a picture of Lex Luthor from The CW's Smallville with the words "Lex Get Bald Tonight" over it. To this we say: we're listening. we hear you. and we couldn't give a rat's ass what you think. Get out there and start balding.
