I'm cutting back on the amount of donation posts I reblog. I will be aiming to use tumblr as a personal social media platform first and foremost.
More information under the cut.
I have noticed recently that the majority of donation posts I reblog don't get traction from my blog. Aka, I reblog and it doesn't actually spread to a wider audience. (No likes, reblogs, comments, or sudden upticks in donations)
As a result, I'm burning a lot of energy and I'm not actually helping very many people. I've been dreading opening Tumblr because I know there will be more people needing support that I can't actually provide. That means people are already not being supported because I am overwhelmed.
The current solution I have is: I will try to once a month clear my inbox of donations (aka, I will sort through and reblog from each account once - or each go fund me once, since some people have multiple accounts).
This will hopefully mean people are more likely to get their gofundmes and support funds donated to. Furthermore, it will mean that I won't have as many people slip through the cracks because they've only sent one post compared to the daily messages from other people.
I won't be reblogging any more donation posts this year, and will aim to do the clear out at the end of January.
I understand that this may be frustrating for some people. I know it is already frustrating that I can't donate. Those feelings are valid. Do understand that I will not tolerate those frustrations being taken out on me. Please do not threaten, guilt-trip, or spam me in response to this decision, as I will have to resort to blocking your account.
While I am not reblogging donation posts, I will continue using Tumblr as normal. So I will continue reblogging art, writing, shitposts etc., because I want my space to reflect my interests still.
Thanks for reading, and I sincerely hope that your support funds are filled and that you are safe.
Everyone in Mary's life was trying to keep her stagnant and obeying. Her mother wouldn't let her leave the house by her own strict rules, Clark wouldn't let her leave the kitchen until she said what he wanted her to, the async scientists wouldn't let her go because of the information she could provide. Her whole life was basically just being stuck in the backrooms of everyone else's creation.
For a little I felt like we missed Clark’s spiral and that’s why the change felt so sudden but in the same scene that Clark shows this “sudden” violent part of himself he says ‘I don’t want to change’.
Clark has always been like this. We saw his extreme anger at the start of the movie. His disregard for those around him with how he speaks to and about them. The implied breaking of the glass was that he threw it, not knocked it over.
I was expecting a spiral but he didn’t need one. He was already there.
a handprint made in concrete is just the image of a hand, it’s not the real thing. or, it’s the absence of a hand, more than anything, the negative space. the casing around where it should be. it’s an indent that was made from something real - that could not have existed without something real - but it’s not the real thing, it’s just trying to be. maybe it’s not even trying. you put your hand there with your mother and the concrete remembers, and the handprint doesn’t even know why it exists, it just does. if we can make copies and not-things from real things in the world, who’s the say the world couldn’t do that itself? does it even need to know why?
Severe lack of Clark and Mary art on this website so I must pick up my pen and draw in swiftness, hopefully encourage others to do the same. It's really a shame because they definitely had the most interesting and robust relationship/depth in this movie.
