I had to mentally send myself a reaction image the other day. I ran up the stairs on all fours, said to myself “i’m such a locationpilled scampercel” and then perfectly envisioned this image
please i’ve already hurt so much
BRO????
THIS IS SO COOL?
I can’t read old english but the second chapter is both a translation and notes on the translation/writing choices which i HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEYRE SO COOL
THE MEANINGS AND CHOICES IN TRANSLATION ARE GETTING TO ME
Also so many of them have these awesome explanations behind them and then there’s this:
“The Old English word for “doctor”, læce, literally means “leech”, which he would hate being called so, so much that I immediately had to use it for him.”
LIKE YEAH THATLL DO IT LMAO
GO CHECK IT OUT ITS INTERESTING AF
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
I think we should let Ron Perlman burn a house down. You know, as a treat.
Thanks @ingdamnit for bringing this to my attention.
Reblogging a new chain with uncensored captions because disabled people aren’t babies
“But I will say one thing before I get off this. The motherfucker who said ‘we’re going to keep this thing going until people start losing their houses and their apartments.’ Listen to me motherfucker. There’s a lot of ways to lose your house, some of it is financial, some of it is karma, and some of it is just figuring out who the fuck said that. And we know who said that, and where he fucking lives. There’s a lot of ways to lose your house. You wish that on people, you wish that families starve, while your making 27 million dollars a year for creating nothing. Be careful motherfucker. Be really careful. Cause that’s the kind of stuff that stirs stuff up.”
Protest The New Tumblr Changes
ok so since everyone and their dog absolutely hate the new changes outlined in this new post from staff, I’ve been thinking about what we can do about it.
HERE is the contact page on Tumblr’s parent company, Automattic’s, website. Please write FEEDBACK/WEBSITE FEEDBACK/TUMBLR FEEDBACK in the “What’s This About?” section
HERE is the Tumblr help centre link, please select the category FEEDBACK when messaging them.
My recommendation would be to write something like this, but in your own words to mitigate any spam filters:
“Hello, I’m contacting you today because of the proposed changes to Tumblr’s UI. This is not what the community wants, and will negatively impact all users of the site.
Users enjoy the Tumblr experience because it is unique, and a throwback to the days before all websites were algorithm focused. Employing this sort of algorithm will kill your websites usability, and along with it, drive away your current userbase. People will simply remain using their other social medias, as New Shiny Algorithm is not the reasons why people would flock to your site.
Please reconsider these changes, and instead reach out to the wider community about changes that we need to use Tumblr more easily, such as:
- A reworked search function on blogs and tags as the current one does not work/is not stable. We also cannot search for untagged posts.
- Better toggle options for people with photo sensitivity, your advertisements often strobe and it makes the website unusable. Ads should be tagged as flashing, or with content warnings for users (i.e diet ads, ads for horror movies with gore in them) that actually work (advertisements are filtered out of the tag system).- Options for 18+ and NSFW creators on your site; Your userbase would quintuple overnight if you were to look into options for NSFW hosting and safe toggle options for adult users. The community labels were a step in the right direction, please pursue this further.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of things, but changing the very fabric of what makes Tumblr work is NOT the move that any of us want. Please, again, reconsider these changes and listen to the community. Thank you”
AGAIN please add your own points to this to help prevent spamfiltering of your messages, and please spread this to everyone you know. If anyone wants to add more ideas of what to add to this list, please do so in the replies, tags or add a comment to this post!
