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!

Hey guys go send in your feedback on how terrible this is as soon as possible. We are witnessing the twitter-fication of this hellsite. No contributor wants “recognition” from a reblog. This is down right disgusting and I’m shocked this got through every single person that’s employed by tumblr

Go send feedback im so serious

Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your

[shabby-blog]

Y'all HAVE to fill in the feedback form. Please. If you enjoy seeing fanart, GIFs, writing, fanfics, anything that's creative on this site, you need to fill the form in and leave your outrage on there.

This is killing the notes sent to the ogs. The original creators aren't getting a TON of notifications and feedback and interactions because of these new "chains"

[lamortwrites]

They want us to spam @changes instead but I'd still recommend lodging a ticket anyway. Multiple if you feel like it

[kawareo]

spam both!

you know how it goes

I simply cannot stand how current Star Trek treats Section 31 as some hypothetical moral quandary.

“What if we needed a secret extrajudicial organization to commit crimes to protect us?” We already had one, it was the Cold War CIA, and do you know what it did? It instigated holy wars. It installed dictators. It authorized kill squads to make goods just a little bit cheaper. You’re asking a question that has already been answered and the answer was “When you give people a lot of power, zero accountability, a mission statement of doing awful things for ‘the right reasons’, and a mentality that people are either sheep to be controlled or wolves to be slain, they do not protect anyone. They just kill and hurt and destroy, and even the people they claim to protect just suffer all the more for it.”.

Section 31 was created when CIA declassifications made clear what had been done in our name and with our money. That’s why in its native DS9, its primary purpose was to be rejected as a concept and defeated by our protagonists, why the Federation has to be saved from its rampant, thoughtless cruelty. Section 31 is not a sci fi concept. It is not a “what if?”. It is an allegory for a very real organization and ideology that has harmed billions of people, that will take decades to root out and further decades, possibly even centuries, to heal from. It is evil, it was modeled on evil, and the impulse to defend or lighten it is not a politically neutral one. It has no place in the Star Trek future, just as it’s real world equivalents have no place in our society, and anyone who says otherwise is deceiving you or themselves.

Portraying Section 31 as morally grey or worse, necessary, is a lie. It is repackaged military propaganda used to justify and whitewash its real world equivalents by creating a fantasy where such an organization is anything but evil, to make it easier to sell that same fantasy in real life. I can accept and even enjoy moral quandaries and flawed characters in Star Trek. I will not accept being lied to.

Unpopular take:

The worst “happy ending” in movies is when the very talented and passionate female character gives up her passion & dreams after marriage to dedicate her life on raising children.

"calypso literally did nothing wrong GOD forbid a woman / goddess / immortal bad bitch loses track of time because she's out doing hot girl shit. sorry that your scurvy addled sailor minds arent swimming in the infinite expanse of sea and time rendering "ten years" utterly meaningless. weak."

[plaguedocboi]

We need to go back to using sailing ships full time like immediately. Yes it would take longer to get places but the Aesthetic is unmatched

Like there is nothing sexier hthan this

[theboboshow]

Can’t wait for OP to get scurvy

[plaguedocboi]

Are you under the impression that the ships themselves are what caused scurvy

[plaguedocboi]

Once again. Do you think this is the fault of the ships themselves

USS Constitution vs. HMS Guerriere by Michel Felice Corne (1752-1845). The two ships fought 211 years ago today on 19 August, 1812.

Constitution defeated Guerriere, but the American ship was also a much larger and more powerful 'superfrigate.'

An illustration showing the relative sizes of USS Constitution (top) and HMS Guerriere (bottom) by Florian Richter for Revenge in the Name of Honour: The Royal Navy's Quest for Honour and Vengeance in the Single Ship Actions of the War of 1812 by Nicholas James Kaizer.

Royal Navy frigate captains were warned not to challenge the enemy's heavy frigates alone, or "attempt to engage, single handed, the larger Class of American Ships, which through they may be called Frigates, are of a size, Complement, and weight of Metal much beyond that Class, and more resembling Line of Battle Ships."

The slogan Not the Little Belt on Guerriere's sails refers to an 1811 incident where the British sloop-of-war Little Belt was harrassed by the much larger frigate USS President in an hour-long naval battle that badly damaged the small sloop.
