I find it so funny, in light of TikTok’s imminent American demise, that even now they aren’t considering moving to tumblr. The last two social media refugee crises (Twitter -> X and whatever happened with Reddit) prompted a wave of wide-eyed new baffled tumblr users to flood this app and yet last I heard all of the tiktokers are flooding en-masse a Chinese social media app. That is entirely in Mandarin. Instead of moving to tumblr.
reminder that even if you're not interested yourself/don't have money/etc. to commission someone, sharing the posts makes a big difference! this is what this blog is, for myself. i can't comm everybody directly, but I'm sharing hoping these posts can reach someone who can help. if you think an artist is cool or think they really need help, reblog!
I think we all need some soup right now. Reblog to give prev a bowl of their favourite soup.
Tumblr is unique bc like. It's collaborative shitposting and you can't opt in or out. You can just say something about your day then an evil wizard shows up to turn your post into something humorous
Every other site is just one and done, but here a post is a welcome mat to be funnier than you
yeah or sometimes you’ll see a post that hacks into your brain and forever rewrites your instinctual reaction to seeing a pineapple explode

So many things I said on this blog pre, like, 2020 (maybe even later) are absolutely stupid.
Look, I was a suicidal alcoholic and I hated myself and the world. I said a lot of things that I now regret and I'm genuinely sorry.
I want to believe I'm a better person these days, even if not by a lot.
Want an honest opinion?
Nothing exists in a void, we are always influencing and influenced by things around us. Consequently you need to look at your action in the comtext in which they took place.
And based on that i can honestly say that by pre 2020 discourse standards, you werent bad. Not great, but not bad either. People like hominis hostilis, and misandry mermaid were significantly worse in terms of how seriously they took discourse, and how bigotted they became. You never did things like post thirst pics like .... yeah im not naming names but we all know people who did that, and that they did it to take advantage of horny easily impressed men and women, which ironically fueled anti men loving men and ace views. You also never crossed lines like i did, by obsessing over people you found attractive (i got better but still) or obsessed over people you hated like that dobson hate/stalker blog. And its not like you made personal drama your entire personality.
So overal you were ok, and you deserve to hear that every so often
Yeah I think you are seriously overestimating how destructive that late 2010s discourse actually was. For one, there was a lot at stake. A lot of those battles were lost and now we’re dealing with an environment that’s more toxic than ever.
While my attitude towards mindlessly fighting for something has likewise changed, I ultimately can’t say that the effort toward pursuing something you truly believe in is wasted. There’s a level of honor in it, even if it can spiral out of control and turn really ugly.
And while it can definitely be the wrong way to go, incubator is right in comparing you to some other people who have become demon-possessed lunatics. Hominis is a particularly depressing example: he’s not a human anymore, just a ball of ideological insanity. People are being overtaken by their hatred and it’s made them into monsters. Maybe you think you contributed to this, but the path you take means something and avoiding that means you weren’t on a destructive trajectory.
And finally, you have to realize that the place you are now is a result of where you have been. You could have been apathetic until 2016 the got caught in the madness that came with the Trump era. You can’t expect to reach a level of understanding without the trials that earn you that wisdom. The path you took to where you are now means something. Every part of a person’s life contributes to who they are in the present day and that process is constant until the day you die. Don’t feel such shame for the path you took. It was required to get you to where you are.
I'm just remembering how bitter and angry I was, lmao
I did believe in a lot of stupid things too, but that's not THAT big of an issue. Views evolving and changing is normal. Ultimately, they didn't even change radically, I just mellowed out and sanded off the edges.
Just...
Venting my shame over being a very confrontational and very unpleasant to be around.
I feel like I ventured out of the toxic swamp that messes with your brain, while a lot of people rushed straight back into it.
I mean, you haven't turned into Hominis or Direwolf at least.
Just aside, whatever happened to Hominis after the staffs last round of whack a moron in 2021? I think
He's still around with a different url, I believe, even more unhinged
😮💨. Why does he have stay in this swamp. Its nicer without people like him. Can you send me his url to block him?
I believe it's fictionalauthorityii currently
If thats him then wow. Its pathetic
I'm not as obnoxious as I was 3-5 years ago, but I still say incredibly stupid things that cause people to block me. And I'm well past the age where I should know better. It's depressing that I haven't moved beyond this already.
Also, I'd like to know why boopsloop, everyone's favorite Nazi-LARPer troll, hasn't been permabanned yet.
Tumblr is like "isn't it weird that Christians never think about this fairly obvious implication of their own theology?", then proceeds to independently re-invent an eight-hundred-year-old heresy that caused three separate wars.
THERE IT IS

We ask your questions so you don’t have to! Submit your questions to have them posted anonymously as polls.
begging the poll anon to tell us about the argument that led to this question
this was posted in 2015. the years come and go but tumblr is eternal.
good riddance live
@pauvrecamille so you got into the “blocklist”...
Nice. Less irritating people to run into.
Wtf do I have to do to finally get put on one of these!? I'm so sick of running into their crap
you have to be a jew.
g-d so many of these accounts are openly run by antizionist and nonzionist jews. THIS IS A LIST OF JEWS.
OH HEY LOOK AT THIS FUCKING. THIS. from oop's google doc list.
the one part op of this post didn't screenshot:
BITCH.
ANTISEMITISM IS ANTI-JEWISH SENTIMENT WE HAVE GONE OVER THIS.
"christian Zionist's have more power" why is your list all Jews. why is your list all Jews. WHY IS YOUR FUCKING (((ZIONIST))) BLOCKLIST ALL JEWS THEN
not even gonna start with the third point. I cannot fucking deal with the goyim atp.
and. EVEN IF ZIONISM MEANT BIGOTRY AND COLONIALISM. "Making or reblogging zionist propaganda" some of these users post Positively about Being Jewish. or at most Nuanced Opinions beyond "israel bad and we should murder or displace all Israelis ignoring that's 50% of all Jews" NOTHING else.
mask off. zionism means judaism to this person.
I am so fucking done.
oh my gd
So that's why I got anon asked if I was a Jew, and they were upset when I said I wasn't.
Same, though mine was a few months back. These used to be the only blocklists I used to be able to make it on and I got skipped on this one for some reason. Guess that thing about Christians was just a lie from them. (shocked I tell you)
I've been going after antisemites for a while now; I'm surprised I never received an ask.
Beyond Belief with Jonathan Frakes except it's tumblr posts
“And Oppa Homeless Style? Never happened, it was invented by a writer.”
"Do you like the color of the sky?"
"Ever had a girlfriend? What about three girlfriends?"
"We all love a good chocolate fountain, but would this bird agree?"
"There can be a way to have unlimited chocolate."
never mind
I should make another comic about blocking people for being even mildly annoying and how good that is for your mental health.
Yeah. That’s the way to go through life… segregating yourself from anyone, any idea that you react towards emotionally.
“Practice intolerance of others, every day, to prove how bad they are.”
Congratulations on being mildly annoying and also blocked.
Literally every time I’ve tried to “foster tolerance” of people I find annoying-to-reprehensible by exposing myself to their personalities every day … I have only ended up hating them more.
I don’t know what the correct way is of brainwashing yourself into being alright with something you find annoying as hell, but more and more I think you just … don’t have to. You can just not engage with people who are like that.
And that’s okay.
Most of us are on tumblr to have a good time, not to be surrounded by people that annoy us or piss us off. It’s better to regulate your blog and be sane and happy than let these people go and face possible constant harassment and get even more bitter and angry.
What gets me is when people say "If you block them, they win." Buddy, if I don't block them, I might lose my damn mind.
You can say a lot of things about the band Imagine Dragons and their music, but their 2021 song "Enemy" does perfectly capture the feeling of realising that some random account you've never interacted with before has you blocked
"Heh. This post is kinda funny. I think I'll add it to my blog"
"Huh that's weird? There was an error processing my post??" "Wait a minute..."
1. You are responsible for your own media experience.
2. There is such a thing as a healthy level of avoidance towards topics that make you feel unwell or even (in a real-life clinical definition of the term) trigger you - but you are the one to actively take care of what you view.
3. Avoiding does not mean policing others.
4. You have no right to tell artists to censor themselves - you may criticize what others do, you may dislike it, that’s fine - but actively asking for censorship when you could easily unfollow or block a person just makes you look incompetent in your use of the internet.
5. Do not give people on tumblr or /any/ website the responsibility for your emotional well-being. Because these people do not even know you so no, you have no right to ask them to take care of you.
6. Content creators are not your parents and owe you nothing, not even a breakdown on why their content isn’t problematic. You don’t get to demand a dissertation denouncing any and everything unhealthy in a piece you don’t like. Move on.
7. Tagging is a nicety but not an obligation. You can message people, politely, and ask them to tag things, and many people will, but understand that it’s their blog and they aren’t obliged to say yes. Unfollow and block when you need to. Circling back to number 1, you are responsible for curating your own experience.
8. Don’t be a jerk. Remember at the end of the day, there are actual living, breathing people behind each screen name. Don’t say anything you wouldn’t say to someone’s face in real life.
got told at lunch "you feel like Tumblr Incarnate" and i had to tell them i've been here for 13 years and counting. i was here three years before dashcon happened. i saw the mishapocalypse. i survived the gigapause. i've been here longer than the shoelaces post. i've been here since it was hipsters versus fandom and i played both sides extensively by overdoing the sepia filters on everything and making my own flashing galaxy gif edits for my fandom posts. i'm every tumblr. it's all in me
Oh ancient one what wisdom do you hold?
My life has become better since I started blocking the bigots and freaks and just focused on the things and people I enjoy.
I made it though April 1st without getting booped once. I don't know whether to be proud or sad.
