anyone who's read house of leaves will understand this and probably laugh at me for only just reaching this realisation but i'm so impressed by the literal real labyrinth this books constructs out of footnotes and formatting. it's incredible. i am so fucking lost.

You can "fix" one thing from the Lord of the Rings books or movies. Choose.

Frodo keeps his finger

Merry gets to have his chat with Théoden about pipeweed

Faramir recovers Boromir's body from the river and brings it home

Frodo leaves for Rivendell early, before the Black Riders reach the Shire

Théodred lives

Haldir's eyebrows match his hair

The guards prevent Denethor from attempting to immolate Faramir

Sam learns to make real elvish rope

Frodo locks the ring in a box so it stops "accidentally" falling on his finger

The Fellowship succeeds in crossing the mountain pass of Caradhras

That one jumpscare with Bilbo is removed

Gandalf gives Pippin a hug

this is a beautiful illustration of the point of my code-switching post, and honestly i've seen this before and it's probably part of why i made that post

so I'm Canadian and I grew up ALWAYS taking my shoes off in the house. I watch a lot of American TV though and they almost never take their shoes off in the house, which for years I thought was just for convenience when filming, but I've learned that apparently some people actually do leave their shoes on???

anyway all this to say can you reblog this with where you're from and whether or not you take your shoes off in the house?

There's obviously a lot of talk about Tumblr being shut down, which does not appear to be happening, but do you think the re-organization will be enough to keep Tumblr running indefinitely? Or is this maybe the start of an eventual shut down of Tumblr?

What's super clear is our previous approach wasn't working. It didn't turn around the business to make enough money to support the investment of infrastructure and staff needed to run Tumblr, and a lot of users were unhappy with some of the changes we tried. There have been a few staff changes within the team, but basically what we're saying is starting January 1, 2024 we'll try a different structure with smaller, more focused teams working on the core parts of Tumblr that people say they want improved. We'll sunset or rollback some things we tried that didn't work.

I'm advocating for this change because I think it has a good chance at success. I don't do anything hoping to fail. There are lots of examples of products with hundreds of millions more MAUs and smaller teams than Tumblr currently has, and there are amazing examples like OpenAI and Telegram running circles around much bigger players with small teams. That's what we hope to replicate.

The good news is as well, since people leaving Tumblr aren't being laid off, they're just switching to other teams within Automattic, if something doesn't work or breaks we can always pull them back in to work on it.
