Labels
Do not label me.
These things you call me, these labels,
They are merely aspects
(Many of them mutable)
Of the greater whole that is my self.
Just as humanity is not one race, one creed,
So am I more than those parts of me.
Just like humanity, those parts add up
And though the whole is not seamless,
It is still one entity: humanity.
Me.
i do have to say that no matter how shitty any sort of media is or how shitty your own creations are. always remember
the use of AI lately has made me feel so hopeless, i translated pages of an unfinished fanzine of mine so i can remember why i love art...i hope it can resonate with anyone feeling the same way

Life. <3
This is the best one
(in case anyone needs context, since i know there's a bunch of younguns who didn't even know the "It's gonna be May" meme... The song playing is NSync's song "It's Gonna Be Me", the guy in the mint green t-shirt is NSync member Lance Bass, and the guy in the pink hoodie is his husband Michael.)
I need to you all to know that the original caption for this is : “POV your friend mispronounces a word once and now it’s a national holiday.”
Do you hear the people sing, singing the songs of angry men, it is the music of a people who will not lose notes again! When the reblogs on your post don't echo the reblogs in your notes, it is a sign to overwhelm the staff with votes!!
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.
I've been using Tumblr for 17 years. Every one of those 17 years I've seen Tumblr users dramatically declare that the most recent update is the end of the world, and then come back and keep using the site. I've also worked in Community Safety for YouTube, so I'm aware of the type of reports that must be flooding in right now.
I understand why this situation may not seem urgent.
Nevertheless, I do genuinely believe it is. The mood I'm seeing isn't the usual resentment or anger, but rather a defeated acceptance. I have only ever seen this reaction once on this site: after the new adult content rules in 2018. Like a pothole, trust weakens, and weakens, and falls in all at once. Tumblr never got back its reputation from before 2018, and I am afraid that this change will deal a blow from which it will not recover. That is the nature of the resignation I am seeing.
You are asking for feedback on a website that is broken. In fact, the very channel for feedback in which you ask is, currently, broken. The sheer volume of messages explaining the unacceptable costs to your users are invisible. The official announcement that reverting the change will not even be considered for multiple days makes it clear that the organization does not understand the gravity of the situation, or the loss of trust that their inaction is already incurring.
To the small creators who keep the rest of the users on the site, artists and educators and fans and fashionistas, this update is a service outage. It cuts them off from conversation with their audience, the thing they are on this site to do. They've just been told that you have no intention of resuming service. I have Tumblr Premium because I want to keep playing in this sandbox. This update is a hole in the bottom. Every announcement that insists the app is in a working state is digging it deeper.
This change must be reverted. Not in a few days, after you work out the obvious bugs and go through the reports. It needs to be reverted now. Angry users can be appeased. You can't do that with a userbase that walks away.
I estimate you have 12 hours. Perhaps 24 for the actual reversion update, if your communication team makes it clear you're taking this seriously. You should very seriously consider whether your organizational process can better survive a git rollback, or what will happen without one.
You've consistently fixed usability and security vulnerabilities in hours. You do a thankless job, and you do it much better than anyone thinks you do. I've seen it, and I haven't said it the way I wish I had, but better late than never: It's a good website. My very favorite, even. I met my fiancee here, and we're getting married in 2029, and you can take your credit for that regardless of what comes next.
Good luck.
We are fucked, fam.
Looking back into the history of my "fuck staff" tag because today's big announcement has me stewing in anger, and I encountered a change from a while back where they removed profile pics (for some dumb reason) and the uproar was loud enough to get the decision reversed (even as noted idiot cyle argued in favor of the terrible UI change, and even now is reblogging shit that paints himself as the superior intellect plagued by the peons of the userbase).
So yeah, send those feedback tickets, make a fuss. They've reversed course before, no reason they can't do it again.
Okay, so according to this post, @staff says they're listening to us, so...
Sound off, Tumblr! How do you feel about the latest update to the reblog and notes?
Hate it. 👎
Like it. 👍
No nuance. Go ahead and reblog the crap out of this.
if you were a fictional character, do you think that the fandom would misinterpret you?
yes
no
it would be so bad😭
nothing would probably happen
results
Some information I gathered while having carpal tunnel syndrome myself! I got it almost six months ago and even though it’s mostly gone I can still feel it when I work too hard.
I want to point out that I have NO medical training and that you SHOULD consult a doctor if you suspect that you have CTS. I will however try to do my best to answer questions if anyone has any.
Currently relevant.
Eleven years later this should not still be relevant.
Happy New Year, Trees! 🌳💚

It's my 12 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
And I still pop in occasionally... Rarely these days, but occasionally. (This was apparently about 2 weeks ago.)
What if abilities changed the appearance of a Pokemon?
A master post of all the ability forms drawings I've done! It's been such a fun series to work on and it makes me so happy that it's brought you all so much joy!
I regret not starting the little additional descriptions earlier and I thought of fixing that but I desperately need a nap so nope.
I did fix the one that ruffled the most feathers though - quite literally! The Skarmory saga is finally complete!
Other Ability Forms posts!
Find me and my art elsewhere!
i taught a baking class for 12 year olds today and we made your garden variety chocolate chip cookies, but i’m a big believer in Questioning Everything and the who/what/where/why/when/how behind things, so the first part of the class was purposely letting the kids do things the wrong way, to show and explain why we do things the way we do.
“why do we bake cookies at 180 for 9 minutes when we could do 400 for 2 minutes?” -enter the godawful lump of coal with a still gross wet and uncooked inside
“why do we have to scoop out little cookies instead of doing the whole tray?” -ok well that one you can technically do if the spread is even. you just end up with one giant, structurally unsound cookie. “PLEASE CAN WE MAKE GIANT COOKIES” (we did make 1 giant tray cookie)
we talked a lot about why consistency is important, but i don’t think it really hammered home until i said “okay everyone gets ONE cookie, that’s fair, right?” and then handed out cookies of hugely varying sizes. + baked one fat lump of a cookie that still wasn’t done at the 9 minutes, vs the regular one i put in that came out charred by the time the first was actually done.
we also made a row of cookies where each one had one single differing ingredient omitted, like a cookie with no flour, or a cookie with no butter, and laid them all out on a single tray to bake together to see how each ingredient affects the outcome.
two of the little girls added cocoa to their cookie doughs until it matched the colour of each others skin to make best friend cookies, and that almost made me tear up a bit 🥺
got briefly distracted (…for over half an hour…) talking about how eggs form when someone cracked an egg and it had 2 yolks
expertly tolerated being asked how old i am (just turned 31 the other day) which was immediately followed by asking if i watched the moon landing live on tv
was so focused on keeping track of all the kids that in the end i forgot to make a cookie for myself, but it’s ok because one of the girls gave me this
tiny……….
the class went well and they asked if i wanted to do another one in a couple weeks and i said yeah, and they’re taking uh… fuck, what’s the word for inventory when it’s people?? attendance?? whatever, they’re trying to see who’s interested to get a feel of if it’d be 1 three hour class again or if there’s too many kids so we’d do a couple classes. anyways, i love the emails from Concerned Parents.
“will there be knives involved?” we are baking cookies.
“what temperatures does the oven get to/will it be hot enough to burn?” we are baking cookies.
“will there be [insert ingredient used in cookies]?” we are baking cookies.
“are you using fahrenheit or celsius?” ??????? d-does it matter?? it’s going to get Hot. (also celsius; this is ontario)
“are the ovens childproof?” no?? i’m assuming you’re asking if i’m going to let your kids reach into the ovens while i’m staring out a window in another room. i will not be allowing your children to use the ovens. they will not be left unattended.
“why is the library baking class taking place at the high school?” the library does not have 10 ovens. the library does not even have 1 oven. the high school has many ovens.
“what if i don’t want my child to have cookies? can you let her make muffins instead?” this is a baking class for cookies. we are baking cookies.
“cookies aren’t healthy. why don’t you make [insert whatever]” do you know how many cookies i can make with a $40 budget and a trip to the bulk store? we are making cookies.
“who needs a class to bake a cookie, why not teach something more valuable?” IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT THE COOKIES, KAREN, IT’S ABOUT FAMILIARIZING CHILDREN WITH THE ART AND SCIENCE OF BAKING/COOKING/FOOD, ABOUT TRYING NEW THINGS, MAKING MISTAKES AND REALIZING THAT THE MISTAKES ARE NOT ONLY OKAY TO MAKE BUT VALUABLE IN AND OF THEMSELVES, FAMILIARIZING THEM WITH INDEPENDENCE, THE UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THINGS CAN COME TOGETHER TO FORM A NEW AND BETTER WHOLE, ALL WHILE HAVING TRYING TO INJECT A MODICUM OF JOY INTO THEIR LITTLE LIVES. SORRY THAT THERE ARE CONCEPTS AT PLAY YOU CAN’T SEEN TO UNDERSTAND HERE. MAYBE YOU SHOULD COME JOIN AND I’LL LET YOU MAKE A FUCKING COOKIE.
