Great fucking news. Just what I wanted. COVID attempting a round 2 of trying to kill me.

Here's to the people who weren't abused by their parents, but whose parents sucked anyways. Here's to people whose parents fucked up raising you out of ignorance and not malice. Here's to the kids whose parents didn't know what to do with you so they did nothing at all. Here's to people whose parents are getting better and growing as people but still hurt you. Here's to every mean comment that wouldn't have been so bad if it hadn't come from your mom; here's to awkward family dinners because you're all trying to forget;

here's to you, survivor of a thousand 'not as bad as it could have been' hurts. I see you. You aren't alone.

Link isn't too happy about being stuck in Wind's awful clothes.

A drawing I just HAD to do for chapter three of Desert Flower: Stars Don't Shine.

Which, by the way, is out.

Which of these would you rather see on your dash?

Hey @staff. This is a perfect example of why collapsed reblogs is such a bad idea. Seeing the full thread, you go like this: 😮 ooh, that's cool 😀 "they're free," hehe! 🤣 "16 cents," perfection!!

I have achieved joy, I feel positive feelings toward Tumblr, I want to engage, I want to stay, my eyeballs land on more ads, you make more money, everyone wins! 🎉

Seeing the collapsed thread, you go like this:

😮 ooh, that's cool 😐 "16 cents"? yes, that's literally what the pic shows, not sure why you felt the need to say that

There is no motivation for me to uncollapse the reblog chain—it looks like a boring conversation about the denominations of coins. And even if I do uncollapse it, you've ruined the joke by showing me the punchline before the setup. I am sad, Tumblr is boring, I go elsewhere to entertain myself, I see less ads, you make less money, everyone loses. 😥

Reblog chains are the best thing about Tumblr. They are your unique super power. They are the thing that makes people screenshot Tumblr and share it around. Why on earth would you kneecap them??

I don't know exactly how you plan to implement this. Give people the option to keep them collapsed if there truly are people who are annoyed by how long they can get (you already have a version of this feature), but don't collapse them for everyone or new users by default. Please. It will make Tumblr so much more boring.

Glaze is out!

Tired of having your artwork used for AI training but find watermarks dismaying and ineffective?

Well check this out! Software that makes your Art look messed up to training AIs and unusable in a data set but nearly unchanged to human eyes.

I just learned about this. It's in Beta. Please read all the information before using.

Everyone- eat the rich! everyone on the Titan was a self entitled rich person (except that poor kid rip)! They shouldn’t have exploited the victims of the Titanic!

News sources everywhere-

Why do I keep seeing James Cameron all over my news (I know these are both Insider, but I have been seeing James Cameron in the news for days from several different outlets, I’m just lazy) Listen, I know he did the time and made the movie but how is he any different? Rich white guy? Profited off of the exploitation of the tragedy of the Titanic? Self entitled expert? Bleh I’m over seeing his crusty wannabe Saruman face all over my phone. Go back to the Avatar movies and think about what you’ve done.

Image descriptions- two news articles, one titled “James Cameron estimates he’s spent more time with the Titanic than the ship’s actual captain after 33 voyages to the wreckage” and “The Titan sub was likely trying to surface and the passengers probably knew the hull was starting to crack before it imploded, James Cameron says.”

A news article titled James Cameron on Titanic Submarine Loss: “Struck by the Similarity of the Titanic Disaster Itself” and a lovely hands rubbing meme with the text “James Cameron eyeballing the opportunity he never thought would come: Titanic 2”

I wasn't towed as punishment, but my experience was arguably worse.

My car was stolen in the middle of the night from in front of my workplace. There had been a band of car thieves running around and we were unfortunate enough to get hit. We called the cops, and then waited.

Three days later, they recovered my car, out of gas and battery because the thieves had just let it run after they ditched it. The officer assumed it was broken when a blind man could see that it was just dead.

He called us and told us about the car, and asked us if we wanted them to bring it in for processing, you know, looking for evidence and fingerprints and stuff. Wanting to help, I said yes. So the car was towed to a tow lot.

They made ME pay for moving the car to the lot so THEY could investigate it. $200. And remember how it was dead and out of gas? I couldn't just go pick it up, because it wasn't running. So they had to tow it to my house so I could put gas in and get a jump. Another $200. PLUS they tried to tell me that I was too far away to be towed to. I had to give them a piece of my mind.

We had just missed three days of work because of the car situation, and I had to pay the entirety of one of our paychecks at the time in order to get my STOLEN car back.

it should be illegal to tow a car as punishment and i’m not even kidding

I... Needed to hear this. I love you too, stampcollective. I love that you made this post with all the love in your heart, I love that you're not scared of me, I love that you love me, despite the BP and the hallucinations and the crippling anxiety.

I love that you believe that I deserve care and comfort.

people with ‘scary’ and ‘weird’ mental issues i love you.

i love schizophrenics. i love psychotic people, i love people on the schizospectrum, i love people with DID and OSDD, i love people with NPD, i love people with PPD, i love people with SPD, i love people with ASPD, i love people with personality disorders, i love people who hallucinate, people who have delusions, and people who have paranoia. i love people who are mentally ill in ways that are viewed as strange and scary by society. 

it is not your fault that you struggle. you are valid. you are deserving of care and you are deserving of love. your issues do not negate any of that.

I used farosh scales but I had item duping

I attack anything I'm scared of with lightning so they can't attack me

There was that time where I killed a gloom hand and phantom Ganon and there was a moment of confusion as I wondered why the sky wasn't changing back to normal and bam! Blood Moon. I was still in the PROCESS OF PICKING UP THE LOOT!

The only appropriate reaction to Gloom Hands is BOMBS

Surprise! It's the last chapter of Desert Flower! Don't worry, though-- the first chapter of the sequel is already up.

Me, literally four hours ago: I don't know why I get so ANGRY, I'm not mad at you it's like this frustration just TAKES OVER and I start snapping and yelling and I don't know why it's like I can't control it

This post: COVID. Like all your other problems, it's fucking COVID.

Me: oooooh that makes an unfortunate amount of sense.

seeing a lot of people posting about "why is everyone acting so crazy lately what's going on" girl it's COVID. we did the research and we know for a fact that COVID gives you brain damage, microstrokes, and other serious cognitive pathology. it makes people stupid, impulsive, angry and crazy. it messes with your ability to process and store information. this is on top of the intense background stress that will make you act out even if you don't have brain damage. traffic accidents are up. road rage incidents are up. check my COVID tag I've reblogged and posted a lot of information on this. every single person who got COVID of any severity is at risk of having brain damage and cognitive problems of unknown severity, for an unpredictable length of time. it's not bullshit it's just the data as it has been measured

why would anybody actively choose to use tumblr exclusively through the mobile app. so many ads. no xkit extension. broken ass search function. can’t disable endless scrolling. tumblr live turns itself back on every week. can’t view custom blog themes. the video player only works if the stars are in perfect alignment and even then you can only watch like, two or three videos before they all break again. i’m convinced that people who use tumblr only through the mobile app either don’t have an actual computer to use the desktop version, or they’re just masochists who enjoy the suffering.
