If you paid ME all the money that tumblr I got paid, I would've spent it on smart stuff like medical debt and credit card bills and rent, instead of like, making this website even more ugly and unusable

No seriously, I'm a Black disabled lesbian with an alarming amount of debt + rent to pay in two weeks. I write, I make art, and I'm Charming. MONEY PLEASEEEEE!

Hello....HELLO!

Autistic Student, round 4

You know, I've been thinking about the writer/actor strike in Hollywood, and like, I love it. I really do. They absolutely deserve better pay models and protection from AI. But do you know what would just be the cherry on top for me?

Hearing CGI artists are starting a union to demand better pay. That would just be *chefs kiss* to me.

they are called VFX workers and they HAVE been investigating the best way to do this for a while! they would be a part of IATSE, and you can follow their efforts here:

follow them on twitter and instagram!

fyi tumblr is fucking over people with custom domains

if you have a custom domain set, DO NOT UNTICK THE BUTTON on blog settings. you’re not allowed to add it back. (nope, that’s not mentioned anywhere on blog settings itself.) if you switch hosts and need to update nameservers, congrats! you’re fucked

custom domains were a feature that’s been available over a decade, but they’ve been unceremoniously removed. the idea of “legacy” domains is a joke

this is doubly egregious because they absolutely could be selling domains for people that don’t have one, while still allowing those of us that already had a domain to keep using ours. they also don’t even allow you to pay to use your own. so if someone bought a domain specifically to use on tumblr, if they accidentally untick the button then poof! they’re fucked because they can’t re-buy their own domain from tumblr 

it’s honestly pathetic how much of a transparent cash grab this is at worst, and how badly implemented this was at best. this is what happens when you accept incompetency as a modus operandi bc “lol quirky hellsite”

i highly, HIGHLY recommend not investing in this feature due to that incompetency and lack of transparency

Life Doesn't Discriminate

I don’t get it, man. why. why do we have to homogenize everything. why does every product have to look and behave and feel the exact same way. why can’t tumblr maintain its individuality? why can’t it lean into the things that make it a unique and refreshing offering instead of scrambling to make it a carbon copy of twitter? sucks, man. sucks.

it’s just like. this broadcasts loud and clear that the people behind the curtain have no pride or faith in this site at all. that tumblr, as a whole, has no worth or merit unless it’s somehow tricking the larger internet community into thinking it’s actually another site. and the users are supposed to celebrate this? where’s the dignity? where’s the self-respect? where’s the joy? it’s disheartening and embarrassing to be forced to conform. smh.

The illusion of choice and all that

@staff this is truly a basis for me to never open tumblr desktop again so if that was you guy's aim congrats, you nailed it!!!! Now if you wanted to keep "what makes Tumblr unique" you have never failed better

so there’s a very good chance i’m going to have pay my rent twice this month and i’m freaking out because of the email says we have to pay it within three days, despite the fact it was already paid. and while i’m going to do my best to make sure that’s not the case. between my being sick and my approaching birthday. please consider helping me out if you can. i’m doing all that i can. everything helps, thank you so much for your time.

 my paypal. my cashapp. my venmo.

hey, if someone could send me like 20 bucks, that would really help. thank you so much for your time.

Organizing DON’Ts #1: [a little black cat says: Never talk about organizing on the job.]

[a shady figure wearing sunglasses eavesdrops on the little black cat talking to a coworker] If your campaign is public, then organizing on the job can cause National Labor Relations Board issues. [The little black cat is saying, “Um, let’s talk after work.”]

[the little black cat wears an apron and stocks a shelf at work while being watched closely by a security camera] If you aren’t public yet, the job is the worst place to talk about unionizing. 

[the little black cat and coworker talk safely in a café over coffee] Always organize outside of work. It’s safer, more secure, and let’s you get to know your coworkers better! [the coworker is saying, “I been at the job 4 years…”]

WHY IS THE DASHBOARD COMPLETELY DIFFERENT NOW?

image

like. i don't absolutely hate it. but also it is SO different from what i've been used to for years. it's like my brain is itchy in a really uncomfortable way looking at this. maybe i could get used to it? but. waugh

some further thoughts:

having this bulky sidebar follow me wherever i scroll on the dashboard is incredibly distracting. If it were out of the way and not taking up so much screen space, I might find it useful, but as it is right now it just feels distracting and bad. I don't like it. But I'm not one to jump to outrage based on first impressions, so, idk, I'll give it more time to marinate I guess.

also, why is the horizontal line in "+" ever-so-slightly closer to the bottom half? it almost looks like an inverted cross?? am i going crazy. do i need my eyes checked. wh.

oh seems very suspicious to see the barbie movie tumblr pop up on my dash after the strike. maybe it was made before, but I’m actually seeing it now

remember:

there’s no boycott on going to see new media

but there is a promotional blackout

don’t do the studio’s marketing work for them

I just checked their archive. They created it Today, July 17th.

prior to the strike they did not have an official tumblr lmaoooo

don’t reblog their shit
