My Advice For Not Going Insane? Try To Do Something Every Weekend. Go To Events, You’ll Love Events.

2024 + HORROR

I'm sorry I can't remember who on my dash said they were going to have a ton of spoiled food because of the hurricane.

If you have any kind of home insurance (owner or renter) there is likely a clause to cover spoiled food in the event of a power outage or disaster. It's generally between $200 and $500 and often no questions asked about the food itself. But you do have to call them and request it.

If you know anyone who's having this trouble please tag them in on this.

I've had quite a few goyish friends who were always quick to tell me that I'm "worried over nothing" and that "people have learned since the 30's, no ones actually going to act on the antisemitic things they're saying"

Antisemitism has been on the rise. Now is not the time for minimization or denial. Listen to Jewish voices. Especially black and brown jews.

TW: antisemitism

It’s terrifying seeing how many people who Would be willing to kill me and my entire family, yet everyone around me seems to not realize just how in danger we’re in.

My great great grandmother moved to this country 110 years ago and soon I think I will leave again, my mother always says “ we built wood houses not stone because we won’t be here that long.”

Often I think people forget that Jews are a traveling people not by choice but owning little but story’s is deeply imbedded into are culture.

I think this is why the disappearance of Yiddish and Ladino is so sad to me.

So if you’re a fellow jew I’m sorry we’re in this together, and if you’re not have sympathy for your Jewish friends right now

(This post is about my experience as a Jewish person and rising antisemitism this week)

(Please don’t send this more death threats, I’m already suicidal you’ll just make me want to live more.)

(No I’m not a Zionist)

(Sorry for all this notes but this is the internet and for lack of a better term people are mean)

Sorry for spelling and grammar dysgraphia is a bitch

i’m so glad earth only has one moon, if there were more i’d have to pick a favorite and that sounds too emotionally taxing to even fathom

here’s the thing, gentiles. there is pretty much no “critique” of judaism you can make that a jew hasn’t already made.

“circumcision is bad!!!!!!!!”

plenty of jews agree and have been wrestling with this practice for decades.

“the bible says being queer is bad!!!!!!!!!”

these verses have been torn to shreds by jews for decades if not centuries. i know dozens of queer rabbis, and most of my friends are queer jews. my rabbi has a trans kid and frequently goes to our state capitol to yell at the government for being transphobic.

“what even is the point of keeping kosher!!!!!!!!!!”

we have entire books written about this and discuss it frequently.

“but israel!!!!!!”

congrats! ur just antisemitic.

in conclusion, there is no Hot Take you as a non jew can have abt judaism and jews that hasn’t already been discussed to death by jews. your dumb one liner has already been pondered for 200 years by a bunch of nerds in kippot on a tuesday afternoon. your revolutionary opinion is old news. you are boring. make some jewish friends and learn something.

Graphic design is my passion and 80’s movies are my vice

My gender is not only damaging to a young child's self-esteem if he were broken just because of his genetics and likelihood of disease. Who is Vincent?

Yo what dog 🐕 😐

Type "my gender is" on your phone and let your phone finish the sentence, then tag your moots to keep the chain going...

tumblr blackout proposal

tumblr mobile has steadily become near unusable these past few updates. not just from a user experience perspective (which is important enough in itself) but also from an accessibility perspective.

examples include the new way the image viewer works (if you can call it "working"), the tumblr live button replacing the profile button, and that newly created blogs will be forced to have their main dashboard tab be the 'for you' page.

the demands of the protest would be along the lines of:

reverse the recent image viewer update

scrap the new users 'for you' page default setting

let us turn off tumblr live indefinitely

increase efforts against spam / porn bots

make reporting abuse and hate speech as easy as reporting as reporting spam

let us go nuts show nuts again... for real this time

remove flashing ads, including not accepting blaze campaigns for posts with flashing in them

commit to improving usability and accessibility, and listening to users!

(suggestions welcome!)

to protest against these usability issues, and inspired by the recent reddit blackout, i propose a 48 hour blackout (where you don't use tumblr at all). preferably of both mobile and web (since web has problems too) but mobile is the focus here.

[edit: a 'blackout' is when you don't log in, or interact with the site at all, for [x] amount of time.]

I suggest from the 30th of June.

this marks the end of pride month (for the "queerest place on the internet") and the start of disability month (since accessibility is a massive issue here).

tumblr office is in San Francisco, USA, so the times and dates will be calculated using their time zone (PDT).

you can find out the times and dates for your timezone here.

i can't afford to blaze this post so please spread it around as much as possible! protests only work if significant numbers show up!

edit: tumblr rejected the blaze campaigns for this post because they know it would hurt them. let's make this an indefinite blackout - it's the best way to get results.
