Im sorry but it is so funny how people outside of tumblr view us. Like why are the tiktokers treating tumblr like some professional ass website you need to do extensive prep before you begin posting on. And the follower farming advice is so fucking funny to me when this is the website where people actively hate getting new followers
You promised
Final version and I think it looks way better than the previous one idk
I love talking to kids about disability bc
1. they often just Get It, and
2. they have 0 concept of disability as a tragedy or something pitiable.
I've watched kids get into an argument with a teacher bc they thought wheelchairs were cool. I told a kid that I can't stand for too long sometimes and they replied, "That's okay, I can't do cartwheels sometimes, but I just do other stuff then. You can sit down with me if you want". Today a girl asked me what the headphones on a classmate's desk were for and I told her that headphones are important for some kids because noises bother them, and she said she wished she had headphones at home, because her baby brothers make a lot of noise and it makes it hard to think. The idea that different people could use tools at different times is intuitive and simple and when accessibility aids are explained neutrally, kids don't see them as bad or unfortunate, they're just things that are useful.
Even mental disability!! In Kindergarten the other day one of the kids asked me why his table partner got stickers when nobody else did. I started off by saying, "Well, when you do your work well, it feels good, right? That's your brain giving you a reward," and the kid just right away went, "Oh, and the stickers are like his reward?" YES! You are 5 and have a better grasp on ADHD than most adults! Kids blow me away every day.
Happy The Crux day to all who celebrate!!!!
you're kinda a loser
Yeah, but I used to be a lot worse, and being a loser hurts a lot less when you remember that you're still better than you used to be.
You should try it sometime. Be better, and see if it hurts less.
in honor of 4chan exploding, I want to remind you all that they used to do “raids” on Tumblr.
they tried to flood the popular tags with gore and porn. this was when Homestuck was at its peak, so they were a target too. (side note: tags barely functioned at all at this point so trying to make them useless was like throwing a molotov into an already burning building but try telling that to 4channers)
but the Homestuck fandom was ready and countered by flooding the tag with weirder, more explicit Homestuck porn and gore.
to the point that the trolls themselves got weirded out, fucked off, and never attempted a “raid” again.
everyone moved on but I stayed there because that is one of the funniest fucking things to happen on this website.
I think this could be solved if we all mutually agree, as a community (because that's what we are) that everyone has different tastes and objectively, everyone is simultaneously hot and ugly.
Say Nikki Sixx is the hottest in Motley Crue and no one bats an eye
Say mick mars is the hottest in motley Crüe and SOCIETY!!
