imagine being the guy who discovered microorganisms trying to explain to people that you promise there are millions of little secret guys on everything
i saw some comments on tiktok where people were talking bout how they found tumblr too hard to use and part of it being that there was no lack of dates so “what if you reblog or like something from five years ago?!”
buddy… we have posts circulating still from 2011, its literally just how it is
Being on tumblr for years like:
I reblogged this before (for instance lol) but I just want to reblog again to add; I think this unintentionally really shows how superficial and shallow an app like Tiktok is.
You’re not allowed to have long term faves. You’re not allowed to return to old content. You’re not allowed to have a lasting presence. Everything has to be NOW NOW NOW.
To value anything to only the minute and a half when you first see it can’t be a healthy mindset in the long term, can it?
everyone bringing up legitimate reasons why the tiktok community is toxic but meanwhile i just don’t use it because it’s full of jumpscares yelling and screaming
and this is why the school no longer has computers
It's okay if you have a stutter, a lisp, a thick accent, difficulty pronouncing words, difficulty speaking a specific language, etc. It's not your fault if people are impatient or unwilling to communicate with you. There is nothing wrong with the way that you talk.
I open tumblr, I talk to myself then I leave
normalize flopping. it’s ok to fail baby. sexy even
the amount of people saying "i thought you meant flopping on the ground". target audience
all of us vaccinated people communicate directly to each other via brain chip technology and we all talk about how sexy we are
You wouldn't believe the memes in the brain chip groupchat
Wait… Isn’t Ed Balls day coming up? ED BALLS DAY, I HAVE TO GET READY TO CELEBRATE
What’s Ed Balls day?
Omg, okay explanation time.
On the 28th of April, 2011, Ed Balls got a Twitter account. He decided (as most people under the spotlight do) to attempted to look up his own name. However, all he did was tweet “Ed Balls”. This, for some reason, got retweeted by THOUSANDS of people. On a global scale. And because he didn’t know you could delete a tweet it stayed. Every year since then,the 28th of April is Ed Balls day.
This is the infamous tweet
and here are some gems to celebrate that have followed the years, including last year where they framed the tweet and got him to sign it for charity
There are also LOADS MORE in this article from the Telegraph
HAPPY ED BALLS DAY 2017 WOOOP
Now that the clock has struck midnight…
HAPPY ED BALLS DAY 2018 WOOOOOOOOOOP
IT’S HERE
if you are in high school and you follow me idc if you learn nothing else from me, but learn this: do not join the fucking military. they will promise you all sorts of things in exchange for joining their muder-system for a few years. do not listen to them. you won’t find a sense of purpose, you won’t find an adventure, you might not even get the money they promise you for college. if you survive, you’ll come back with blood on your hands, feeling just as aimless as before except knowing you’re a killer. the government will drop you like hot potatoes the second you are not useful to them, and you will be on your own with nothing but some ptsd and a more intimate understanding of the phrase “blood for oil.”
They also have a way of targeting POC as well as those who are in a family that isn’t doing well financially. Be wary of any and all recruiters.
I also recommend the podcast What a Hell of a Way to Die, which is by two men who joined the military very young, (one of them was 17) and then became very leftist socialists after seeing it for what it really is. They cover a lot of topics like anti imperialism, military propaganda, fascism, and talk about all if it from a perspective I haven’t heard before.
They did an episode about this topic pretty recently, titled Recruiting 16-Year-Olds: Patriotic Child Grooming.
I’m the polar opposite of anti-maskers, in that no matter how low the risk of transmitting a disease in the future, I will be wearing a mask. It’s just a part of my going out clothes now.
Am I sick? Am I dysphoric? Am I trying to avoid the facial recognition technology of the dystopic modern age? None of your business, keep your distance.
I love that in the ten years I've been on tumblr, tumblr users' attitude towards tumblr has come full circle, now we're back where we started at "tumblr is our beloved home, no other social media can compare, no other website has what we have, do not trust other websites, do not tell the outsiders about us", only this time we're like. Really exhausted and with a sense of irony about it.
Hello @staff I would like to make a formal complaint that my tumblr ads are no longer funny and nonsensical, but annoyingly frequent and boring. I demand you bring back the frog with a knife. I want to pour vinegar on bread.
