UM GUYS. I JUST NOTICED A CRAZY ISSUE W THE TUMBLR UPDATE.

YOU CAN SEE THE ICONS OF ANONS SOMETIMES.

The way I was able to recognize several anons in one of my inboxes bc of this error. Oh my god. Guys. This isn’t supposed to happen.

Weighing in to say:

YES, I SEE THIS ON MOBILE. HOWEVER I DO **NOT** THINK IT'S SHOWING THE ANON'S REAL IDENTITY.

The profile pictures I see next to anon asks are profile pictures that belong to other, non-anon asks in my ask box also. Some info

I think the bug is the inbox INCORRECTLY attributing anons to neighboring, logged-in asks.

Which is still a bad bug! Considering it makes it look like a long-time follower of mine sent me a spam ask.

And is worse if, say, one of these was anon hate.

But it's NOT the anon's real identity. It's a neighboring ask asker's identity

So if you have anon hate in your inbox that looks like it's attributed to your dear friend, who sends you lovely asks all the time, it was Not them.

CONFIRMED THE BUG IS INCORRECT ATTRIBUTION.

Thanks @thepatchycat for being a test subject. As you can see the icon being attributed to this ask is NOT the patchy cat

The pictured icon belongs to @watchingforcomets who sent me a nice ask about nail polish yesterday which I have not yet answered!

Takes a guy who's obsessed with saving people even if it risks his life and a guy who is literally allergic to asking for help in any situation and puts them in My stew puts them in my fucking stew and stirs it

nothing scarier than being a fan of a fic and then becoming mutuals with the author. like hi shakespeare. big fan of your fake dating au

We literally cannot let them start charging 80 dollars for video games 70 dollars was already outrageous 60 was pushing it. 80 fucking dollars. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND. For MARIO?!?!?!?!?

If we don’t buy it, they’ll lower the price, just like the 3DS. They make more money from 2 million people buying it at $60 than 1 million at $80

Don't even buy the console, don't let them think they can get away with this

I refuse to live in a world where a console cartridge costs eighty fucking dollars

ACT UP, 1990

What the “haha millennials can’t even make phone calls” crowd fails to appreciate is that making phone calls is a far more user-hostile and physically uncomfortable experience than it was 15-20 years ago.

It used to be you picked up a landline, which had physical buttons and at its smallest was still 3x larger than a smartphone, dialed the actual location you wanted to call (instead of a corporate call center) and you could actually talk to someone with access to the store computer/government records/dinner reservations that actually fucking applied to you.

You could also actually hold the phone with your shoulder without it hurting, which freed your hands up to cook or eat, or type on a computer, etc. it didn’t require an accessory you had to keep charged. It was built into the phone’s physical design!!!

It sucks more to do phone calls now! Like it just does!!!

The most mundanely dehumanizing experience I’ve had in the last few years was when I called a domino’s to troubleshoot a pizza order and they directed me to a call center in a different state.

“We had to automate it because nobody would do the job!”

PAY YOUR FUCKING WORKERS

throwback to when I was working at my desk with Cu Rùa on my shoulder and suddenly heard a loud and abrupt fart… I genuinely was so startled at the volume of it and thought it was my dog but she was nowhere to be found. I turned my head and there he was, tail pointed down near my ear… next to a large pile of shit

“what was he doing on your shoulder” all of the animals that I’ve ever owned have had an affinity for my neck and shoulders. the perfect perching spot

"what was he doing on your shoulder?"

Shitting, next question

Hey OP, I read this post to a friend, and now she feels like she cannot know peace until she can hear the sound of a scorpion fart. She's literally angrily ranting right now that she can't find any recordings. "All I want for my birthday is audio of a scorpion pooping!" she just said. Please if you can.

your job is not more important than media from 2005. never forget this.

Btw much as I love to make fun of twitter and reddit's business decisions, I have 0% trust in tumblr's management to not go a similar route so this is your gentle reminder that you should regularly go to your blog settings to export your blog. That's a fancy way of saying you can download a backup of your blog so if everything goes down you'll still have a backup of your posts & convos.

It's gonna come as a surprise to most of you, but if you don't want to do that for whatever reason you're allowed to not reblog this post. I'm not holding a gun to your head here I'm just trying to spread the word for people who do want a backup of their stuff.

Also, made this guide for backup Tumblr blogs (ft. export blog method, and python 3 script method):

Whoever runs dropouts instagram is killing me in the comments under their video announcing that the subscription price is changing

Reblog to give prev a fucking break holy shit y’all

i love the never kill your self meme like yeah joy can be found in humble places peace and love on planet earth

that is the wrong gif

there are many unexpected hierarchies to being a marine biologist

I will literally never stop thinking about this.
