Every time there’s a new tumblr meme there’s always people like “this isn’t funny anymore, it’s gotten boring/cringe” We are on tumblr, we drag dead jokes around so that their blood decorates the place like a children’s hospital
everyone giving up on masks is so fucking stupid, like it’s like if everyone was like huh, we’ve been wearing seatbelts for a while now and it’s really decreased the amount of injuries people have had in car crashes. let’s all stop wearing them now cause we can’t live in fear forever! no more seatbelts unless you really want one! Oh, you’re still wearing a seatbelt? Didn’t you know you don’t have to use those anymore? why are you being so paranoid?
hey remember when pop-ups and banner ads were associated with malware? when youtube didn’t have any ads at all? when you could get a cheap netflix subscription that was better than cable TV? digital marketing experts estimate that most americans see 5-10k ads every day. what the hell is going on
as a woman u could have a PHD in something and men will still value the opinion of their random guy friend who read an article on the topic once more than you
what super expensive indulgence would u get for urself if u suddenly came into a bunch of money?? assume all bills/mortgages paid, all friends helped: what treat are u buying just for u?? for me it would be a quilted lambskin chanel bag in iridescent pink
It’s actually kind of impressive how ill-conceived this whole “Notes Preview” business is. At a single stroke, it’s been rendered impossible to curate one’s experience even on one’s own dashboard – now it doesn’t matter that you’ve carefully followed a group of blogs you can trust not to reblog noxious bullshit, because with every post that crosses your dash there’s now a chance that Tumblr will automatically append some random asshole’s opinion about that post, in a way that neither you nor the person you’re following can predict. Bravo.
In the short time this feature has been live I’ve already been obliged to remove a post from my own blog because I tried to do the “scroll back up the thread and reblog a version without the commentary” thing, only for Tumblr to helpfully display the exact post I was trying to avoid putting on my blog as a notes preview.
