"how do you tell the difference between a whippet and an italian greyhound" simple. look at it head on. if it looks like a dog it's a whippet. if it's making a face like you've just threatened it with a firearm, it's an iggy

see? simple as

FISH HAMMER

i dont hate shipping i just think a lot of you people maybe like shipping too much

its ok. you can engage in a fandom without shipping. its ok. there are other things you can do. not everything needs to be about romance and characters being cute and kissing

and not every unhealthy relationship has to be romantic either. can we get some love for unhealthy platonic and familial dynamics

I for one think the symbiotic relationship between Tumblr and AO3 is beautiful

Post-Covid with the boys

Actually that no punctuation plot hole ooc wattpad fanfic written by that 12 year old will ALWAYS be better than character ai. And I love that 12 year old btw

Reblog if, no matter the size of the role, you would agree to work with the Muppets if offered the chance to do so, no questions asked

THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FINISH THE PITCH BEFORE I TELL EM I’M IN

Recruiter: Hello, I'm with the Muppets and...

Me: Where do I sign?

every day i try to remember that the rabbis of the talmud were like “don’t waste your energy trying to explain a thing to someone who has already refused to listen” more than a thousand years before tumblr existed

biggest reason i make so many flop posts on here is because everything i do reeks of the desperation to make a popular tumblr post. this is deliberate, because it is what protects me from ACTUALLY making a popular tumblr post. so long as i crave it, tumblr fame will never find me. it is only when i turn away, and accept my fate of obscurity, that people will lay their eyes upon me. and it WILL be because i tripped and fell on my stupid face while i was turning

time for people to do the funniest thing ever

Do not.

your regularly scheduled reminder that tumblr operated with <20 tech staff for literal years. honestly even having like... 100 was a relatively new and short-lived development

i've been here since 2008 bro i Remember

november 2010 3 years after launch - for months they had been "at capacity" in their offices with a team of 12. then they became 20 😱

https://techcrunch.com/2010/11/19/tumblr-funding-office-hires/

employees in 2012 5 years after launch according to tumblr's own press info page (archived): 105

in 2012. when it got really big. before it was sold to yahoo for absolute bank

unwrapping tumblr has a handy infographic showing we didn't get to over 100 total staff for 5 years, and even getting 100 was a pretty rapid uptick from "less than 20 this whole time"

in 2017 there were still only 405 and that's honestly about peak (employee numbers removed from the press page mid-2017

by 2019 when it was sold to verizon we were back down to 188

in 2023 there were 139 employees... which is still more than in 2012. i laughed when they called it a "skeleton crew". that skeleton crew was bigger than the entire crew for the first third of this place's existence.
