the meow meow of all time

Cat fight tournament 2023 :3 Mods: Orange (he/they) and Calico (any prns)

[thecatfight2023]

congratulations to our winners of the 2023 cat fight!

art by mod orange again

the grand champion title of "the meow meow of all time" goes to Jellie (GoodTimesWithScar)! congratulations to all jellie supporters out there, you guys campaigned so hard for her when we had never heard of her before this tournament!

second place goes to Nyan Cat! seems like old internet nostalgia wasn't enough to carry him through to victory, but he did his best sweeping the competition most of the way through!

and finally, third place goes to Cat (Stray)! a relative newcomer to the scene, yet trumped two classics (salem and the cat from coraline) in the third place poll! apparently being a silly little kitty you get to play a game as was enough to sway the votes :)

LOSERS BRACKET WINNER: Cat (Ghost Trick)

REDEMPTION ROUND WINNER: Jellie (GoodTimesWithScar), maintaining her crown!

if you wanted to submit multiple cats that's totally on the table ! whether or not it will be a separate submission or all on one form... to be decided. it will be clearly stated on the form and the announcement post if the tournament happens

just a note it would depend on the number of submissions on how many submissions each user gets in the actual tournament! say if we get a lot of submissions, the priority would be to include as many people as possible before adding any extra cats for users if that makes sense :)

share this frequently, please. or include these into other compilations. these are crucial and don't get as much attention. these are resources that benefit everyone. Look for these resources in other websites with greater traction. Please do your best as you can.

are we allowed to submit cats that are deceased? cause like. i still love my cat but. he dead now.

hmmmm i really had to think about this one bc on one hand, i totally get it ! but on the other i think it would be kind of sad :(

ultimately tho, i think we'll leave it up to y'all if you would want to submit a deceased pet (submissions would be allowed)

[thecatfight2023]

Would we be able to submit cats that technically aren't ours? (ie: a feral cat that comes around but we don't have the resources to take in but still love on that was tnr previously, roommate's cats, family member's cats, etc?)

You can submit feral cats as long as you personally know them! :)

And you can submit family members cats or roommates cats with permission from their owners!

Yes, investigation claimed at least 1,200 detainees 'dropped off the grid' from 'Alligator Alcatraz'

The claim is not new — the Miami Herald published its findings in summer 2025.

source for the congresswoman thing as well, because i hadn't heard about that:

Rep. LaMonica McIver Faces 17 Years in Prison Over ICE Jail Inspection

The Trump administration has repeatedly attempted to restrict or thwart congressmembers’ access to ICE jails.

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!

[changes]

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.
