... this is gonna be my whole day tomorrow, isn't it?

I mean, there’s the change itself, at a time when a lot of us are using Tumblr as a place to hide away and feel normal, so the timing couldn’t possibly be worse. even just the change in font is making me feel like I’m on a completely different site. it’s also weirdly crowded and difficult to visually process, while ALSO having huge unused space on the outside edges. but at the moment my biggest complaint is that I can’t queue things from my drafts with one click anymore, I have to edit a post to queue it, which is ridiculous.

ugh. the one upside is that this inspired me to try re-installing xkit yet again -- in the last several years, it has just flat out not worked for me, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to try again, and it actually works this time! as of now there really isn’t anything in xkit to edit the new dashboard (so far as I can see? and based on the post to the new xkit blog from the other day), but hopefully that’ll be coming soon. until then I might just have to avoid, this is so unsettling to look at. I’m going to try to get my queue filled all the way up again (with the obnoxious edit-to-queue pipeline) so things will continue on without me for awhile, but I ugh, I just cannot with this today :P

Why do things use Welsh for 'elvish like language'?

I wouldn't mind.

But.... must you mangle it?!

It sounds kind of elvish already.

Blaidd Gwyn - White Wolf

Gwynbleidd - is the equivalent of me saying Wolfwhite. Spelling and pronouncing it wrong.

Dd is th btw. (Don't ask, it's a letter shuuush 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿)

Okay. I'm done being a picky Welsh Woman now. It just makes me twitch violently when I hear it spoken.

Please return to regularly scheduled posts.

(My Irish friend just sent me a 'same', 😂)

What in the fuck

So I’m reviewing posts of mine that have been flagged for adult content and I have three main take aways:

1) I AM SUPER UPSET THAT MY DAVEFUCKMETILER KISSING GIFS FROM SINGLE FATHER ARE FLAGGED. Like I get some of them, because they “depict sex acts” even though you see no nudity?? BUT UGGGGHH

2) Two of the posts I can’t even see because when I click on “keep reading” I cannot...keep reading. It just tells me about my post containing adult content. So that’s helpful...not.

3) HOW THE FUCK WAS THIS FLAGGED??? WHAT EVEN....????

tl;dr: woe is me, I would like a greater amount of comments on my fic

What on earth is up with this fandom? I’m used to getting four comments, sure, but that was because the fandom only had like <10 actives and another 15 people on the periphery, so the four comments would mean perhaps 10 kudos including anons, and 0-1 bookmarks. Perhaps 100 hits, a year on. (Also, the comments would typically be at least two sentences long and point out something about the fic that made clear that they read the fic instead of just the pairing tag...)

With this fandom, I know it’s larger, but sure, this is a more niche fic, so 5 comments is okay ... except that I have over 50 kudos, 14 bookmarks, and 31 subscriptions. Oh, and over 500 hits in less than a week. Like, what? You like it enough to bookmark it, but not enough to say “I liked this” somewhere the author can see it? Does everyone in this fandom use bookmarks as a to-read list, or has commenting simply died as a concept?

just take a deep breath and remind yourself

....everything is Legendarium canon if you look hard enough

...Oh great, after the high the first few pages of my book gave me here comes the ‘life is pointless and always will be, you’re not good enough for any sort of creative work and will always have to do shitty people-oriented jobs until it rags enough on your low-key ND tendences that you just give up and step into trafic’ mood again.

Cheers.

Also, I know I’m Oversharing On The Internet, but if I tried to tell this anyone IRL they’d just be like ‘well get a better job, duhh!’.

Because I *obviously* have the appropriate degree and expected experience to do like... anything I find even remotely interesting! That’s why I’m a receptionist who hates talking to strangers!!

And if I get far enoug to say at least this, they’re like ‘but you could do what you do now, but for a better pay!’.

Here’s the thing. I do not want to do what I do now for any amount of money. And anything I can think of that brings in enough for a living AND is within my competence is like this or WAY WORSE. Like, I feel that if I leave this job it can only get worse.

I feel trapped.
