it's actually sick you get tired of eating the same food over and over when some animals they just eat grass all day mind you. just another pointless challenge mechanic added in by big universe to get you to go to the grocery store
YoutubeDrama thread where this came out.
He truly seems incapable of not passing off others work as his own.
Okay, I mean, if he'd just popped up as a wedding photographer I'd be on team Leave Him Alone. Like, dude's gotta eat. Sure as shit never gonna hire his beturtleneck'd foghorn ass to commemorate any special event of mine, but sure, whatever. Get that coin and stay the fuck off YouTube.
BUT THE FACT THAT HE'S PLAGIARIZING HIS GODDAMN PORTFOLIO
Oh my god. He just can't help himself. He can't make a goddamn thing. Can he do anything besides steal and hate women? One goddamn thing, James?
pitter patter putter patter *you look down and see this*
I trust him
Okay but this is exactly what I love.
The above image is a historical artifact. Colima dog. It dates back to circa 100 BCE-300 CE. (x)
And, around two thousand years later it was originally shaped with care, painted with love, and adored… someone draws it. Draws it using a new technological device that allows modern people to shape things with care, paint with love, and even move them -on a screen, glowing.
And the said person decides to share it with the world. The whole world adores it.
I love the connection between past and today. We were humans back then, and we are still the same.
Cute dog :)

hello all just popping on to say that if youve taken depo provera (injectable birth control) for a long period, it has now been linked with a much higher risk (5.6x base likelihood) of brain tumors than the base population and there is a lawsuit being staged against pfizer for not disclosing or investigating this risk.
matt just fired half the remaining tumblr support staff lmao
from my sources adjacent to tumblr--from which i can spread rumors and insider information freely because i dont give a fuck about ever working in the tech sector--im hearing this round of firings was focused on purging the senior staff, and not just from support but from the entire remaining tumblr workforce. i'm hearing there are about 25 people left.
tumblr baby you are beautiful just the way you are please please please stop trying to be that godforsaken bird app
This update would make Tumblr permanently obstructive to users if they don’t roll it back.
Because of this update, it’s harder for the app to load and it will freeze and close on your device much more often. Say goodbye to having multiple pages open at once. Most users will suffer from this, especially if they don’t have access to a device with a lot of data.
The follow buttons are way bigger and easier to hit by accident, and are so obstructive on a phone they can cut off part of an op’s username. The size of the usernames actually make it more difficult for disabled users to process the text of a post.
And edit and delete buttons are now hidden in the meatball menu on your own posts so it’s less easy to use and you have to scroll up to the top of a post to edit it every time.
And most users can’t press and slide the reblog icon to do a quick reblog anymore. Quick queue has been removed. Nor can they edit the tags on their own posts without having to rewrite all the tags from scratch.
We need to tell staff this!! Send some actual complaints to them, which you are allowed and able to do! It’s the only way not to make the app even more inaccessible to users permanently!!
Go to Settings -> General settings -> help -> contact support and select Feedback and write an official complaint threatening to take your business elsewhere in turn decreasing traffic (and shareholder value) unless tumblr changes the UI back.
And tell them everything about this update is designed to make the website and app harder to use, which makes it less attractive to new users. Every UI update is them trying to imitate other websites, like Twitter, to catch new users from them. So tell them it was ease of use in the first place that made people enjoy Tumblr despite its flaws. And making it more difficult to use, imitating the flaws of other websites that people complain about, as opposed to their strengths, will drive away both potential, new, and old users.
If you don’t know what to write, you can just use and tweak the above paragraphs. That’s what I did in my report.
If you’ve seen this text before, it’s because I’m pasting it around on multiple of my posts to spread. Send complaints to them, quickly, while the update is still new and they can be convinced to roll it back like with some of the others in the past. The difference was time! Do it now!
"i want a dislike button on ao3" so you want less fanfic. even if you don't think you want less fanfic you want less fanfic. because when people start getting dislikes on their fanfic they will want to write less fanfic. hope this helps <3
Dislike buttons aren't that bad
for fanfic? for things people put their hearts and souls into for free? for creative works where there is literally no reason to downvote a fic except to just be mean? where negative reception (and even just unwanted constructive criticism) could potentially kill someone's passion for their fic or even their motivation to ever write again? You're right! They're actually not that bad!
They're terrible! And it would be a terrible idea to ever implement them.
He's right tho
Sent this to my brother and he said "anyone who's heard of Margaret Thatcher can define a negative cow" and I needed to share that with you
“Some years ago, I was stuck on a crosstown bus in New York City during rush hour. Traffic was barely moving. The bus was filled with cold, tired people who were deeply irritated—with one another; with the rainy, sleety weather; with the world itself. Two men barked at each other about a shove that might or might not have been intentional. A pregnant woman got on, and nobody offered her a seat. Rage was in the air; no mercy would be found here.
But as the bus approached Seventh Avenue, the driver got on the intercom. “Folks,” he said, “I know you’ve had a rough day and you’re frustrated. I can’t do anything about the weather or traffic, but here’s what I can do. As each one of you gets off the bus, I will reach out my hand to you. As you walk by, drop your troubles into the palm of my hand, okay? Don’t take your problems home to your families tonight—just leave ‘em with me. My route goes right by the Hudson River, and when I drive by there later, I’ll open the window and throw your troubles in the water. Sound good?”
It was as if a spell had lifted. Everyone burst out laughing. Faces gleamed with surprised delight. People who’d been pretending for the past hour not to notice each other’s existence were suddenly grinning at each other like, is this guy serious?
Oh, he was serious.
At the next stop—just as promised—the driver reached out his hand, palm up, and waited. One by one, all the exiting commuters placed their hand just above his and mimed the gesture of dropping something into his palm. Some people laughed as they did this, some teared up—but everyone did it. The driver repeated the same lovely ritual at the next stop, too. And the next. All the way to the river.
We live in a hard world, my friends. Sometimes it’s extra difficult to be a human being. Sometimes you have a bad day. Sometimes you have a bad day that lasts for several years. You struggle and fail. You lose jobs, money, friends, faith, and love. You witness horrible events unfolding in the news, and you become fearful and withdrawn. There are times when everything seems cloaked in darkness. You long for the light but don’t know where to find it.
But what if you are the light? What if you’re the very agent of illumination that a dark situation begs for?
That’s what this bus driver taught me—that anyone can be the light, at any moment. This guy wasn’t some big power player. He wasn’t a spiritual leader. He wasn’t some media-savvy “influencer.” He was a bus driver—one of society’s most invisible workers. But he possessed real power, and he used it beautifully for our benefit.
When life feels especially grim, or when I feel particularly powerless in the face of the world’s troubles, I think of this man and ask myself, What can I do, right now, to be the light? Of course, I can’t personally end all wars, or solve global warming, or transform vexing people into entirely different creatures. I definitely can’t control traffic. But I do have some influence on everyone I brush up against, even if we never speak or learn each other’s name. How we behave matters because within human society everything is contagious—sadness and anger, yes, but also patience and generosity. Which means we all have more influence than we realize.
No matter who you are, or where you are, or how mundane or tough your situation may seem, I believe you can illuminate your world. In fact, I believe this is the only way the world will ever be illuminated—one bright act of grace at a time, all the way to the river.“
