to preface this post i am anti-advertising i think we should explode the entire industry but it's sooo funny when you people make posts like "and they don't even work!!" like. sorry to be the bearer of bad news but yes they do. that's why we have to put up with so many despite everyone hating them and thinking its annoying. because they actually work really well and make a shit load of money
#it actually would be way better if they didnt work and made no money bc businesses would abandon them#this isnt like stocks where everythings abstract and is essentially gambling (i dont understand stocks)#like ppl in the ad industry create things. that make a tangible and quantifiable impact on the business#which is then used in further ad planning. it is NOT all smoke and mirrors#like its fake in that the industry is not providing a necessary service the way like. grocery stores are#but its not the level of fake where everything is abstract like theres deliverables#moreover there is an extensive body of academic work specifically on how to make ads more effective#ALSO i think some of u views ads like. as if they have a win condition. which is you buy product#but in current advertising this is pretty rare and comparatively ineffective#which is why you see MANY ads which dont seem to be selling anything in particular. or which have nothing all to do with the product#the 'win' condition for THAT kind of ad is something more like 'viewers remember our name'#like. ex i would say ads for temu have not been effective on me bc i havent bought anything from them#but temu probably thinks they were SUPER effective on me because i talked abt them like 5 different times at work#and i do in fact know exactly what the company does and what they sell#and they were able to capitalize on the reputations of existing companies (wish shein etc) to build their own brand#good idea generator

on moving out
#for context i drew this during the paradise of providence event👍#repost of old art#kavetham#haikaveh#i still think abt kaveh moving out often#always a bit torn between it signifying him getting back on his feet + regaining confidence in himself#but like sometimes he's a bit of an unreliable narrator....remember when he was like#hm. the first thing i will do w the prize money is move out and then build another palace but ten times bigger! like oh...kaveh.....#plus he can sometimes be blind (purposefully or not) to what's actually good for him..bc we (and alhaitham LOL) know the significance of#him having a home that's not just a house and how full circle of a moment that is for him#its always interesting to consider that their living situation in itself is this in-between flux moment#though i think kaveh trying his best to escape this “chapter of his life” isn't necessarily the solution.....#i still don't know how tumblr works so if u have to go thru all my yapping in these tags to repost i am so sorry </3#ok thats all thank u for coming to my ted talk

honestly even if I’m in misery over this week’s elimination I am living in hope we see Jarvis on Titans because he is so stunningly talented and his comedy is hilarious! and he has the perfect brand so if he could believe in himself like the fans do, you just know he can take over the entire world
#although technically I suppose it’s Jules who needs to believe in Jarvis? or believe in herself while he possesses her?#I’ll let them handle that one I think#this is a quiet plea to come to ldn and perform#but seriously yea the ghost is hot. I am (unlike himself) but a mere mortal#but I genuinely respect and admire the talent and skill and the entire package Jarvis served this season#yes it was serving a little bit of thing 1 and 2. but it served!!! and the lipsync extermination was BRUTAL#that had never happened before and suddenly it was them versus JAYKAY??? ouch. a valiant but futile fight#I just love everything their drag encompasses and provides and it’s amazing!!!#it’s really energising too like I love drag and Jarvis reminds me why#especially in a time period when so many drag races and other competitions are flinging performers at you#and some just blend into sameness#s5 dragula is presenting so many talented varied performers and Jarvis is my fav of them all (even though I love so many of them!!!)#anyway Jarvis merch in the UK when????? haunt an international delivery truck sir just get that here and I’ll hand over the money#this season is so good!!!!! wow. loving it#dragula#jarvis hammer

how bout on july 29 we all log off tumblr and go see crabs at the beach
#tumblr crabs#crab day#don't care what you do with your money but don't make it some kind of big grand 'righteous' thing#call for tumblr blackout? impossible#even reddit. which started out strong. then got back to it after protesting 2 days later#for tumblr? nah i cannot expect us to follow through with anything and make it a success#like the dashcon thing.the apple doesnt fall down from a tree or something idk the saying#seriously. why do you want to keep supporting when all they do is make changes that provide no benefit to the OG users??#why didn't you guys do it. say. when they were releasing polls or something? when they did something that was a tiny bit good

it is kind of. insane. that Izzie Stevens donated almost nine million dollars to the hospital she worked at to start a free clinic there. and then when she got cancer while being an employee at that hospital. she still ended up in 200,000 dollars in debt.
#her friends operating on her in the hospital she works that she also donated an insane amount of money towards providing options for people#in positions where they can't afford money and yet#though also her disappearing on alex is the way she did. beyond fucked up. ironic he did the same thing to his the next woman he fell in lo#with to get back together with her (bad decision) lol but they had to write him off somehow#also I'm sure the izzie thing gets solved via the clinic or pro bono or something i don't remember#it's just about the PRINCIPLE of it in the first place. come on.#greys#greys anatomy#incoherents#i think if you work for a hospital and then need medical treatment there the hospital insurance should cover all of it <3 my simple opinion#well also I think everyone should always have free access to good healthcare. but this is next level ridiculous. come on

life with primitive dogs is me everyday asking my pack: will you be governable today? and they go "only if you provide us with payment good enough to exchange our labor for and our standards for that labor payment will change daily. and if we don't want to do it that day? Even for payment? You are out of luck."
#dogblr#dog behavior#what i'm saying is that malamutes are socialists.#they do work for me but it costs me money lmao. as their 'government'#i provide their medical care good diets and fun#and yet they still know how and when they would like to demand what they are owed#like god forbid i don't KNOW that zombie wants to go outside before she goes to the door#she knocks the first time with such distain and sass i am simply of the belief she wants a dog door so she doesn't have to ask#these silly humans for things#(i will NOT get a dog door bc my dogs would 100% dig up poopsicles that have gone unseen during yard cleanup and bring them inside)

I absolutely love the inadvertent comedy of reading descriptions of Americans from the perspective of English people. Yeah, what a rude freak that lady was, smiling at you, introducing herself, and saying that she’s your new neighbor as you saw her moving in to the apartment next door. Who does that?
#tbh it is much appreciated in this book#my lady detective books have morphed a bit into lady spy books as WWII breaks out over the course of time#and they're currently at the point in the war where they're trying to get Americans to provide money & troops#while London is getting bombed#so like I could use a little silly laugh after hearing the descriptions of the lady detective volunteering to drive ambulances#to take care of bomb victims throughout the city#because those descriptions make me cry a little bit#also the narrator is so good at accents#she does all these different ones from across the UK#and then she does the American ones#and THEN she does the 'British person attempting an American accent' which is a whole other thing

What if they didn't put ads every 3 posts. Three posts between ads, literally. Not even counting the ad for Tumblr Live.
Also what if tumblr didn't know what city Im in. I do not want my location tracked or stored anywhere unless I give explicit ongoing permission, like with my GPS app that I allow to track me only when the app is open, and then it deletes the data (allegedly) when I stop giving permission.
#ugh i do SO much to try to keep my location private. i use an android with all the tracking things Off (except for my weather app#which is a highly specific app that does NOTHING except provide weather; and i have the location turned Off so it doesnt even know where i#live). my tumblr email is not connected to any real life stuff because i made it when i was very closeted and made a new email and password#for it and never linked them to anything else. i have bare minimum apps. i use firefox and duckduckgo.#for shits sake i use a small barely-known map app because any Map App that has had large success under capitalism is inevitably going to#start selling private info or working with a cheap security system designed to allow quiet data leaks.#i guess i use gmail and gphotos but my phone doesnt HAVE a native Photo App. i have to use one i download and im too damn skittish to try#i guess i did get netflix recently....sigh.... i figured they WERENT tracking me because they email me EVERY TIME I USE NETFLIX to alert me#that OHHHH A NEW DEVICE IS USING NETFLIX AAAAA WHAT IF ITS AGAINST NETFLIX POLICY OH NOOOO. so i figured they didnt have a way to ID me.#UGH. CAN I PLEASE EXIST WITHOUT BEING MONITORED FOR FIVE SECONDS. can i please access Social Media which is a shitty substitute for actual#human connection but its the best i have--without someone noting my location and then trying to sell me things??? can i please watch film???#i cant go to a theater because my region does NOT believe in covid and not even medical staff attending Very Ill Patients wear masks anymore#stupid fucking homophobic transphobic anti-vax society has made it too dangerous for me to access most Not-Online forms of enrichment. and i#cant even use the Internet (a magnificent ASTONISHING human creation) without being tracked and advertised to.#ugh..#humanity is just so cool and brave and kind and amazing and yet we have taxes and advertisment IDs and traffic and medicine shortages.#its not like the ads even work. even when it shows me stuff i DO want. i cant fucking afford things. i already have spent too much money on#things that i dont need like Good Food and Entertainment and Juice. ugh....okay i do need food and liquids....Good food even. my body cant#survive on College Foods like it could in the past. And i might literally die if i dont buy juice...#and i guess its really really really heartwarming to have good entertainment to take breaks from all the stress.... its not like i havent l#..... like im so frugal. thank god my partners encourage me to buy myself things. i have been so much healthier since giving in and buying#Non-Water drinks instead of just Chronically Drinking Less Than A Bottle Of Water A Day. my partners are so good and sweet 😓 i shouldnt be#upset with myself for letting them convince me to take care of myself. that isnt fair to them or me so i will stop doing that now.#my faith in humanity is mostly just knowing that my partners exist. theyre so sweet. if people like them exist--then i have faith in humanty#no pressure lol. they are both so good and perfect regardless of how much energy they have to spare for Being Good. they are just inherently#very dear and good to me and for me. but just because i have faith in humanity doesnt mean im gonna stop complaining the whole time!!!!!! i#will whine about the bad stuff forever!!!! and BITE IT if i ever get the chance. but i will complain until the bothersome things go away.#if i complain my whole life with no results then...! so be it. i will whine and it will be art somehow.#sorenhoots

a baffling amount of the our flag fandom on all platforms need to have their accounts put down like lame horses like this is so truly beyond the scope at this point. these people need to repent. i would say something crueller but they're not worth thinking about for more than two seconds if i want to keep the amount of white blood cells i have
#🐾#being a fan of something while the fandom is like the worst people imaginable is like a very well known experience but fuck ... 😭#how are you turning harassing palestinians into a Sick Burn contest for your followers and then feeling like. good about yourself#man can you guys just be fans of things 😭 i am so sick and tired#you all need to get surgery and have to be away from the internet for a week and then you'll be normal again#i started this whole thing like so ... i don't know. i barely interact with any fandom i don't see anything i'm just in my own world#but now i have seen it and it's just like man 😭 this is a lot and you people suck#like some of them are genuinely evil but even that aside it's just fucking mind numbingly annoying#also this is a tangent but it is not the only gay show on earth it's not the only gay comedy it's not the only show where middle aged#people have fallen in love. you are deranged in a bad way#the billboard was DUMB i deleted all my other posts about it cuz it doesn't even matter and i figured having a partial outsiders pov would#be helpful mostly for like. YOU GUYS. as in just providing the info on what moneys going where for accuracy's sake but man#burning money contest

hhh. ok. for the past couple years i've had front row seats to this person who i've known for a long time (she's an ex of my best friend who we're still chill with) just. devolving as a person and doing a lot of self sabotage and constantly complaining about one or more things (including like. pre complaining about things. like she finally got a job, hasn't started it yet, and is already claiming to like. hate it because she read somewhere on reddit that it sucks when i've known people who've held this job for years and say it's good money and easy) and refusing any and all help. on top of this she's just openly posting about the horrible financial decisions she's making (while completely self aware joking about how bad these decisions are and posting about how she has no money) and it's stressing me the fuck out. i care a lot about her and i've reached out multiple times asking what i can do to help her and she's refused every time or just been like "yeah i probably should and could do that but knowing me i won't" and just resigning herself to that. and at this point i want to say something like grab her by the shoulders and shake her but i wouldn't know where the hell to start.
#to clarify she's not buying things like. a phone or some headphones like technically non essentials but comforts everyone should be afforded#she's buying $400-$1200+ fursuit pieces parts and then freaking out because she doesn't have any money to move out#and she NEEDS to move out her home situation is not fucking good#she needs professional help that i can't provide and that freaks me out.#vent

keep saying i don't want 2 work another retail xmas but canNOT 4 the life of me make myself finish my goddamn fucking job applications !!!!!! death & dying & despair etc. etc.
#i dont dislike the application process for gc jobs on principle BUT#it does not mesh well w/ my difficulties re: starting & finishing tasks#but like i understand why u cant just send in a resume n hit done#NOT that there are many IT listings up atm...... and ill apply 4 clerical/admin stuff too#but an IT-1 STARTS a good $10k a year higher than a CR-5 soooooo :///#which is whatever its fine money isnt everything!! ill gladly make less if it means not hating my job!!!#but i also wanna. u know. LIVE. move out of my parents house. buy brand name snacks occasionally. maybe -gasp- go on a vacation#(not 2 say i dont make an attempt at travel now but thats with very finite savings that are def only going down not up)#also extremely frustrating 2 me the emphasis put on having a degree that completely locks me out of certain job categories#like. yes. there are for sure some where having the bg knowledge is important eg. an AU (auditor/accountant) or MA (methodologist)#and there are certain skills a degree (in theory) provides eg critical thinking research etc.#but not all of us have $40k+ to get tge fancy piece of paper saying we have those things. and u can have those skills w/o a degree#and smth like an EC which needs a degree in economics sociology or statistics is so arbitrary#and maybe not necessarily actually based in the majority of work done by the majority of positions in that category#ANYWAYS not me being bitter abt education standards YET AGAIN lol#idek if i could go to uni even if i could afford it. even tho i have 2 college diplomas id probably have 2 redo my grade 12 english 😶🌫️#also if money were no object id probably go for like. film studies or smth lol not sociology#tho. ngl. if i had the willpower and determination 4 smth so rigorous (i 100% dont) accounting does seem. interesting asdffhkkfdghh#ANYWAYS pt. 2 all this 2 say this is why i instead spent $10k+ on the only possible 2 yr diploma#that can still get u in2 the higher paying public service jobs. even tho ive discovered i Dont Particularly Care for programming. :(#thats an understatement actually i was actively in hell for like 80% of that program and the remaining 20% mostly wasnt coding

if capitalism breeds innovation why is every social media company the same
#BECAUSE every company now wants to be like tiktok bc capitalism doesnt encourage creativity and innovation#it encourages copying your competitors to make more money than them#which most of the time doesnt even work! i can buy shitty knockoff converse but everyone will Know theyre not Real#and the knockoff company isnt making more money than converse by copying them#just as everyone Knows tumblr live isnt tiktok and its just a money grab#basically what im trying to say is. social media was better when each website was trying to do its own thing and provide unique features#no other platform had#and that's slowly being taken away from us as the internet becomes more and more standardized#when tumblr dies for good i'll see yall on neocities#steven speaks

saw a post on reddit that was like "nobody warns you about how when you really like someone you start wanting to buy things for them". so true bestie
#i won't even buy groceries for myself but i will have a desire to purchase various things for another#the provider instinct ...#pegasus speaks#this is the premise of sugar dating but now instead of the receiving end i am perhaps becoming the sugar parent#in all seriousness im very good at saving money & bad at spending it on nonessentials. so this is healthy for me
