Once upon a midnight DEAL WITH IT.
I give a fuck, nevermore.
merely a bro, nothing more.
#suddenly there came a swagging as of someone gangsta rapping #rapping at my chamber door
Quoth the raven, “Swag galore”
#edgar allan bro
And my mom still doesn’t get why tumblr is so fucking amazing.
ITS BACK FUCK YES
OMG I FOUND IT
You guys have to stop reblogging this. It’s 2026. Please
so ijs archetypicality just adhd
archetypicality is a lot of things, but it primarily stems from my experiences of social failure in my youth. it is meant to encapsulate the feeling that others perceive you as a predictable character in their life story, lacking the self-awareness and depth of someone they'd actually like to spend time with or get to know better.
I like to think that I am a good friend to the birds in my neighbourhood. They chirp, they flap, and occasionally I give them some birdseed. As long as nobody ever asks them what they think, I can remain comfortable in this delusion until senility inevitably sets in. In my stronger moments, I wonder why people would ever want anything more than a nice morning and happy birds. Then I remember I need coffee.
As soon as I've had my coffee, my neurotransmitters are reinvigorated, and perspective returns. All of nature is an immortal, perfect balance that must be respected, but some of it needs to stay the fuck out of my house. There are, of course, birds that I don't like. Many of them poop on my car. Occasionally, a woodpecker tries to get inside my house and steal the copper out of the walls.
Once, I made friends with a guy at the bar who was really into falconry, in the hopes that I could convince him to come on by the house and scare off the woodpeckers. He showed up, alright, but without the bird. Doesn't do well in strange houses, he told me. Later, I found out he just admires falconry on Reddit, which is on the internet. The internet! Get the hell out of here, you freak, and don't come back until you have a razor-sharp subsonic killing machine latched onto your arm.
No doubt I would have regretted that if it had worked. I'm sure falcons poop all over the place. If one of them gets "off the leash," so to speak, it would probably try to kill all of my favourite birds. I can't afford to lose the cute little songbirds and the black-billed magpies that keep bringing me pieces of copper wiring from someone else's house. Again, the balance must be maintained.
Have you ever heard of propaganda? Once, a long time ago, I thought it was a correct male goose. Turns out it's way more insidious than that: malevolent forces are trying to control how you think! Propaganda is like those awful phone calls you get just as you're sitting down to dinner, trying to talk you into buying an extended warranty, but for your mind.
Once, a long time ago, propagandists were beloved by warlord and fascist alike for their powerful ability to project ideas into the world. Nowadays, any dipshit with a vtuber can talk a bunch of normal people into doing ridiculous shit. You'd think that would be make the real propagandists work harder, but it turns out that it's cheaper to fire them and then just hire the kids with the smartphones. You may have noticed a diminishing quality in the bullshit you are fed as a result.
If you're like me, then you don't really want your mind to be polluted by every Madison Avenue and K-street whackjob that comes by. You have to keep your thoughts clear and your will freed. How do you do that? The hard working folks in the humanities haven't figured out a way yet, mostly because they keep getting fired. I have a proposal, though.
My theory is that the human mind can only hold so much propaganda at once. If you've filled your brain's "spam hole" up with enough ridiculous crap, the new stuff will just bounce off. That's why I spend every morning reading, front to back, the Chevrolet Corvair advertising brochures. Sure, it doesn't have the tang or the subtlety of today's micro-targeted bullshit, but I air-cooled boxer engine haven't noticed any consequences.
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!
This is horrible I can't see the number of notes on my posts at all without adding up everything in the chain
Cursed cursed cursed evil evil evil
This is a terrible idea. Horrible.
EXTREMELY BAD HOLY FUCK.
This would kill the entire point of the reblog chain. Staff, please, don't do this. It will transform the reblog chain in just plain twitter quotes.
Seriously, this is a tumblr-killer feature. This breaks the most fundamental way tumblr is different from any other social network. This makes tumblr just another blueskytwitterthreads. Or worse: An unfederated mastodon clone.
Please, stop this. Please, don't roll this out.
Please, mutuals, post about this, comment and reblog the original post (while you still can without making it your own quote-post). I don't know if staff is looking or if the feedback would matter, but seriously, this is a terrible change that would kill tumblr as we know it. Please, don't roll it out.
look, I can endure any kind of UI changes that are supposed to help tumblr-rookies to understand how this works. They may be a nuisance, but that's ok, we have x-kit or we can get used to buttons being here or there.
But this. This changes the data architecture. This changes the SINGLE THING that makes tumblr the "... yes and" website. This KILLS THE COLLABORATIVE POSTING THAT MAKES THIS SITE DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER MEDIA PLATFORMS.
Please, don't do this. Please, don't ship this.
Things that will never make me think less of someone: Enjoying media, entertainment, or aesthetics with ideologically reactionary elements
Things that will IMMEDIATELY make me think less of someone: Insisting that the ideologically reactionary media, entertainment, or aesthetics they enjoy are actually Le Hecking Epic Wholesome Leftist Praxis
To draw upon a semi-recent Discourse topic, if you encounter a claim along the lines that, idk, for example, the imagery and cultural idea of Knights as it exists in pop culture is entrenched with a long history of islamophonia (due to how much of this cultural imaginary comes directly from the narrative of the Crusades) and your response is "I still think knight imagery is cool, I don't enjoy things based on how ideologically correct they are" I'll respect you infinitely more than if your response was "Actually liking knights is leftist because there's nothing more leftist than protecting those weaker than you"
"I don't engage with this thing to have my politics parroted back at me" will always be 1000x more graceful and productive than trying to argue that everything you like is Fundamentally Leftist, Actually.

fucks me up that by total coincidence the sun and moon's size difference is exactly matched to their difference in distance from us, thus making our beautiful total solar eclipses where you can see the silver threads of the sun's corona possible because the moon just covers the sun completely
The stars (literally) aligned just right for this experience to be possible. It's likely that aliens don't have this
The moon is also absolutely gargantuan by moon standards. It isn't the largest moon in the solar system, but it is BY FAR the largest in comparison with its planet. Ganymede is the largest satellite of Jupiter and the largest moon in the solar system. Its diameter is only about 3.8% of Jupiter's. Titan's radius is 4.4% of Saturn's. Callisto and Io are the next largest in the neighborhood, with 3.4% and 2.6% the diameter of Jupiter respectively.
Our moon is number 5. It is smaller in direct comparison to the above moons. The diameter of the moon is 3475 km. That is a full 27% of the diameter of the Earth. More than a quarter. That's ridiculous. It's unheard of. The universe is large enough that the word unique probably doesn't mean a lot, but this might be about as close as you get.
This has had a huge impact on our planet. Other things aliens might not have are significant tides. One of Mars's dumpy little potatoes wouldn't be able to move oceans the way our moon does.
Our moon has also stabilized our axis to a massive degree. Without her up there our axis would wobble all over the place and our climate would be far more chaotic. Aliens might not be quite so lucky.
I guess what I am really trying to say is that the moon is extremely cool. I like the moon.
Just want to add that the reason we have such a large moon is because a whole planet crashed into proto-Earth. Theia (the planet) and Earth got so superheated by this collision that their component cores fused and the impact jettisoned a lot of material into space. That massive amount of jettisoned material became our moon. So Earth and the moon have very similar composition. This does not seem to be a common method of lunar formation.
what if the answer to the fermi paradox is that life cant exist without a moon like luna
I got a serious beef with the Fermi paradox. There is no Fermi paradox. There stopped being a Fermi paradox once the first radio telescopes went up, and we began to get a true sense of the sheer scale of the universe.
Space is big, empty, and loud. Sunspots can cause enough interference to affect global communications. We’re not even loud enough to talk over our own sun. On our own planet. We can barely communicate with Voyager, and we know exactly where it is and what its signal sounds like.
The Fermi paradox is like doubting the existence of Belfast, because you stood on a windy New York beach shouting towards it and didn’t get an answer.
i didn't realise we were drowned out by our own sun :(
She is screaming so loud
I scream so loud
It is comforting

the grinch is fucked up right. he was created specifically as a critique of the commercialization of christmas, but now all his edge has been sanded off. now he's a generic mascot for "hates christmas," which is great to have because the commercialization of christmas has become so overbearing that that's a demographic you can market to! and now he's just part of the Christmas Fold. he's santa's edgier joker counterpart. he has become the very thing he sought to destroy. back in november i checked out a customer with a $1100 order and most of it was grinch merchandise
