god you know a site is a sinking ship when someone like me, who has never really used any other blogging/social media sites except tumblr, is looking at other places. That dash glitch just makes it near unusable. 😔
RIDDLE ME THIS TUMBLR: how am I going to scroll my dash if anything beyond 3 hours old gets tossed into the abyss and I am forced to start my dash anew!!!???

I came into my room and there was a web directly across the inside of my doorway even though it had only been a couple of hours since I last walked in here. Of course I immediately thought of this old Far Side which is never too far from my mind
Have loved this particular Far Side moment for ages.
A month ago during the “soundcloud is going down” scare I wrote a script that basically downloaded my entire corner of SoundCloud at incredibly abusive speed and got bandwidth-banned for a month since CloudFlare detected it as a mass DDOS (which is fair I mean I was downloading like terabytes of data)
These hot mermaids invited me to smoke a bowl at their place and I had to tell them I can’t go because I can’t breathe underwater and would drown and then they all started pointing and laughing at me. They called it a gill issue.
Did you guys know the size difference between an adult worker driver ant and the queen? Did you know their mom’s head alone was that much bigger than their entire body?
This photo is featured in the photographer’s book about army ants:
The crazy thing about “army ants” is that there are just several unrelated ant species that display exactly the same set of behaviors so it’s sometimes just referred to as “army ant syndrome.”
for a while there i was sympathetic to tumblr because of how much they’re in debt; i was kind of like “well of course they’re absolutely desperate for new users, they literally need the money or else tumblr goes down forever”. and then suddenly today it hit me that there’s actually no fucking reason for that debt to be causing these ui changes? the userbase has been INCREDIBLY clear about what they want from tumblr over the years, not to mention clear about the fact that even twitter people don’t need this place to look like twitter. it actually would be very… EASY? for them to just make changes in a direction people would actually be HAPPY with?
for fuck’s sake there were people trying to organize a “crab day” for tumblr despite tumblr doing nothing but telling us to go fuck ourselves for months on end. there were people spending hundreds of dollars on check marks just for the glee of MAKING FUN of twitter. can you IMAGINE how much money this userbase would donate to tumblr if they actually made ui updates geared toward what people have been asking for?
if tumblr actually crowdsourced ideas or even just LISTENED to their userbase it may have been possible for them to make way more money than they’re begging for now, they just insist on trying to drive their actual demographic and loyal userbase out for literally no reason
