God I wish this were a service I could actually offer to people. I’d do it for a hot meal and some laughs, I don’t even need money to start trouble.

yeah I have back pain. and yeah. yeah I like birds. and music.

I'm gonna write a song watch this

I don't have sex

because it's scary

the lobster from spongebob

he is larry

the thing about working in childcare these days is that I'm blown away by how open minded and genuinely curious these kids are. there are multiple openly queer kids, who are aware of the intricacy of the queer community and the multi-faceted nature of queer identity.

none of that was around 10 or 20 years ago. queerness wasn't even necessarily taboo during my childhood experiences, it just,,, wasn't taught or talked about, even from one child to another. I just didn't know it was a thing. but these little kids know about intersectionality!!!

and then when I was in high school, kids used 'gay' as an insult, but these kids at my job don't even blink differently when I told them the little queer flag pin on my messenger bag was the aroace flag. some of them ask what it means, because perhaps they've only heard of gay lesbian and trans. (and they've heard of gay lesbian and trans!!!!) I explain my flag and what it means, and it makes sense to them. that would have been alien for me as a ten year old.

some of these little lesbian girls and aroace and bisexual boys, the pan, poly, demigirl and nonbinary little ten year olds are the best friends that little me needed.

it's refreshing and heartwarming to see that the young ones of today are the kind of people this world needs.

PROTECT QUEER KIDS!!!! EMPOWER QUEER KIDS!!!!

someday people are going to have to grapple with the fact that their idea of a bad and annoying person is just a guy who's fat and autistic

tumblr staff have...

allowed false flags of 100% sfw posts made by transfem users (and blacklisted trans-adjacent tags)

taken away basic accessibility features in an effort to tiktok-ify tumblr

pushed tumblr live, a feature users actively dislike which is mostly unused and overrun by spambots, that also collects all of your data

allowed ads that can literally kill people via flashing / strobing lights, even if the person had it filtered, despite user complaints, with the ceo even saying people with epilepsy should "just buy ad free" in response to concern over potential death or serious injury from such ads

STOP GIVING THEM MONEY! stop trying to make crab day or whatever else happen. paying for stuff from the shop is rewarding them for ignoring the userbase continuously and doing things the majority don't want, even if the things they're doing and allowing can cause actual deaths. staff shouldn't be praised and get profit for ignoring their users in exchange for trying to turn tumblr into twitter 2 ft. tiktok. at this point i don't even care for "staff are people 🥺 be nice" arguments, because even when people are being very polite in feedback, they're perfectly fine ignoring it in exchange for implementing changes nobody wants or asked for, all because new users may like it more (and forget anyone who's used the site for years, apparently).

leave bad reviews. don't buy things from the shop. send feedback, even if they never reply. email them and @ the staff, send asks to the wip blog. don't just blindly buy into "we need to support the site, buy xyz shop product", they don't deserve more money for giving a worse product.

waters so amazing because you can drink it really sloppy style and like spill it all over yourself and it doesnt even leave a stain. you dont even have to wash it out/ . because its already washed

i need you to know this is the most followers i have ever fucking gotten at once like its been almost 80 in 22 minutes im gonna go freak mode

So a very crusty old man was being accompanied by his son to grocery shop. Awesome cuz this guy was absolutely CLUELESS.

He tried to get me to open the milk doors for him to get his milk. The son goes "dad. You open the door and get it yourself. They're not wait staff."

The dude is complaining about the prices. "Its not 1945 anymore dad, eggs aren't just 1$ anymore."

Later, I hear "dad move out of the way, you're blocking traffic"

At the register, they're the 2nd in line. Im almost done with the customernin front. Like they're about to pay. And he demands we open another register. "Dad. You can wait for 1 minute. We're next." And then he tried to pay with cash and the son goes "you just got mad about waiting 10 seconds, and you're gonna make the whole line wait 5 minutes for you to count those coins? Just use your card!"

After the transaction, the guy is looking over his receipt. "He was so fast he must have messed up something" the son goes "cashiers are timed these days. He has to be fast. Everything is fine."

Shoutout to this grownup kid. Educate your parents.

The fact that there’s an actually functional website for the library of Babel is one of those things that fucks me up more and more the more I think about the implications.
