to those of you who are moving here from tiktok, from someone whos used both tiktok and tumbr for years...

1. DO NOT censor your posts

dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)

2. we dont really have an algorithm

you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points

3. dont crosstag

we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)

4. dont expect to go viral/be famous

"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is

5. blocking is your best friend

tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on

6. you cant go into someone elses house and start rearranging their furniture

this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we've been here longer and we're familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app

asking the right questions

Shrek 2, while a cinematic masterpiece, is also an interesting look at queerness and comp het.

Fiona is married so it's time to reunite with her parents. But instead of marrying a prince, she's married to an ogre. Not just that, but she's also an ogre. (Yes everyone knew she would sometimes be an ogre but that was when she was a child, she didn't know she would be an ogre for the rest of her life, and besides once she met the right prince she would stop being an ogre. She was supposed to stop being an ogre.)

But okay they're both ogres. We can still ask about when they'll have children because even if they're ogres they can still have kids, right? That's what married princes and princesses do so naturally that's what everyone does. Even if ogres might not be great parents (I've heard that ogres eat their young, is that something you people do?) it's still something that should be discussed.

And okay you can stay in Fiona's childhood bedroom filled with all the reminders that hey, everyone thought she was just a princess and princesses marry princes. Her toys left out from the last time she played with them. The prince slays the ogre. The princess offers a token of gratitude for slaying the ogre. Fiona wrote Mrs. Fiona Charming a million times in her diary because what else was she supposed to grow up to be?

And Harold you have to fix this, your country can't be ruled by ogres. You were unfit to rule when you were a frog but I changed you, I made you better, I made you a prince. You know how this works. Think of your daughter's safety.

Shrek goes to the Fairy Godmother and oh honey, ogres don't live happily ever after. It's just not done. It hasn't happened in all of fairy tale history. You have to change the both of you to be happy. You have to present as a prince and a princess. It will be better. You'll fit in better that way. You'll be accepted that way.

a gun holster is more or less functionally the same as lingerie

i think the best genre of image is "creatures trapped in starbucks cups with receipts reading [cup of water (no water, no ice, creature)]"

truly I do not get the "Laios is so autistic he cannot fuck" posts. If you asked Laios to pretend to be a werewolf while having sex he'd be like "Cool I was going to bark anyways let me tell you about typical werewolf mating rituals so we can do it right-"

Don't wish for a freak if you cannot handle one.

i think kabru should be allowed to infodump on laios. equality

When I was in the hospital, they gave me a big bracelet that said ALLERGY, but like. I'm allergic to bees. Were they going to prescribe me bees in there.

the year was Two Thousand and twenty-four. I took a puff of my Electronic-Cigarette, inhaling the vapours. my mobile terminal buzzed in my pocket, a flat slab of microchips and glossy touchscreen. I ignored it....... probably another Electronic-Mail

You haven’t eaten anything yet today and your estrogen isn’t going to work if you don’t feed yourself. There are hashbrowns and sausage in the freezer, you should make a breakfast burrito! It will be delicious and i won’t have to eat your boobs just to keep your organs alive.

I realized it's apparently odd that I research medication interaction with various foods or supplements before consuming them. I wanna know if it'll fuck up how my body/chemicals work but all y'all out here raw dogging unknown symptoms like...

--------

You shouldn't be eating or drinking grapefruit if you're on an oral contraceptive it'll make it not work. Truthfully any chemical contraceptive you should be careful about but an oral one get shut DOWN fast.

Or how pineapple/pineapple juice can cause buspar or other anxiety medications to not properly absorb into your blood making its job moot.

Amphetamines, your ADHD/ADD meds if those are the ones that work for you, should not be used along with tricyclic antidepressants or decongestants.

Adding on to avove, depending on the Brain Skittles you take you also can't take Mucinex (guaifenesin) cause it could cause Serotonin Syndrome. Or how I learned the hard way, it'll just make you faint and feel the worst you've ever felt. Better off being boogery!

Anyway all of that to say that apparently wanting to know how stuff works makes me "paranoid " and I just wanted to yell about it.

... sometimes I miss my pharmacy job.
