Attention Pennsylvania Voters!

I know there needs be a through line. And racing is fine but not my favorite. I stand by my original ask, though, and I want racing / theme quieter and the worlds to be louder.

Thanks for agreeing, @portisleft !

Good afternoon! I agree with the asker who preferred the “three worlds” to “racing”. I’d love more travelogue sets with a heavier emphasis on the worlds (kind of like how alara was five worlds all together)

If the focus is on the three worlds, there has to be a thematic (and mechanical) through line.

omfg i forgot that i never showed tumblr my greatest achievement. my pride and joy, my pi-ass de résistance

To be fair, @thirteensfavoritetoy , the crown/ royal family is still one of the three houses of British parliament. The "Punxsutawneys" are not enshrined in a Government charter.

Perhaps an oversight we should correct.

this is quite literally on-par with a royal baby announcement

This is critical for everyone to understand about social media.

Any engagement encourages the algorithm. It's a skill to cultivate only your stuff, and on most meta platforms, impossible by design. They sneak (and often sledgehammer) stuff in to just engage you, especially stuff you might hate.

An explainer for why I don't fuck with algorithmic social media

If you give a pigeon a little button to peck that releases pigeon food, it will push the button when it's hungry.

If you give a pigeon a button to peck that releases food every 5 pecks, it will peck it more often.

If you give a pigeon a button to peck that releases food at a randomly selected, always shifting number of pecks, the pigeon will peck that fucking button all day long.

Algorithm based social media is not set up to give you the best most fun stuff all the time, it is set up to give you a bunch of stress and nothingness with a randomized reward of something that actually makes you happy, because they want you pecking that button all damn day. It is a slot machine of content, meant to keep you putting in quarters made of your time and attention till you've nothing yet.

At least if I'm having a shit day on my own Tumblr feed it's because I've made a bad choice about who to follow and I can fix it.

Happy Leland Melvin Day!!!
