you want to help stop tumblr from murdering itself? here’s how!
click this link and go to the support page, then click “contact support”
click on the category list and click on feedback
now you need to tell staff WHY putting in an algorithm will cause the site to fucking die, and be sure to be detailed and not a dick in it. theyre not gonna listen to feedback calling them assholes
i encourage you to reblog this so we can get as many people leaving feedback as humanly possible. we need to let staff know this is an utterly terrible idea
by the way, tumblr has turned off asks on all of their staff blogs, so this is the only way to tell tumblr how you feel
The new layout it a whole mess. Thankfully Xkit can already help with a bunch of this! I’m sure it’ll give more options soon.
Vanilla Tumblr: (I have marked in red what can be removed. The tabs can be set not to stick, so you will really only see them at the top of your dash. Empty box on the left for hidden notifications and shop sparkle, i just didn’t have any. I’m EU so no Live for me).
This is the contact support form which is also the giving feedback form. I imagine this is more likely to get listened to than replying to staff posts with incoherent rage so I recommend just telling them the layout change is really bad before they get a chance to commit to it:
Please be more eloquent than this example. Also to the users with unchecked anger issues that you think makes you cool: no violently threatening the support team please that will help nothing and probably just be counterintuitive Just say the layout is bad and you don’t like it. I believe in my heart that we can perform a #ThisNewLayoutSucksAssSweep
‘who is claude’s retainer?’ could be a trick question on jeopardy. there is no one answer. retainer as in child of the second most powerful family? that’s hilda. someone who is actually politically powerful enough to rival him? lorenz. someone reliable and capable, who fulfils the role of an advisor? judith. someone specifically chosen to command in his stead? nader. someone with complete faith in him? marianne. your guess is as good as anybody’s
“Claude doesn’t have a retainer outside his own route cuz Byleth fills that role” is the hill I will die on
i think it would be cute if after a long night of patrolling, tim crashes at home, ready to sleep through his birthday, but he checks the YJ groupchat and sees that they’re really excited to come visit
my dnd party has run into an npc who may or may not be evil and may or may not decide to betray us and the dm was in chat today like “just so everyone knows…not addressing this comment at anyone in particular…his favorite colors are red and black…wink” so now i’m desperately trying to get a real physical friendship bracelet done before session tomorrow in the vain hope that i can somehow stop this npc from trying to do a murder on my party
UPDATE: the npc was in fact a shapechanged adult black dragon with violence and conquest in his heart. however he did let merry put a friendship bracelet on him and then when she was like “hm okay how big is your wrist in dragon form” he was like “you wanna see?” and then turned into a dragon and let merry measure him for a second, dragon-sized friendship bracelet. the dm described him afterwards as being deeply confused as to why he did this or let any of this happen to him. call that the merry effect
this guy is now a recurring npc because merry was SO determined to make him her friend that it actually somehow worked. he cast dream to talk to one of my party members like “hey…how’s it going…how are the tieflings in the party…not that i care…also i’m not lonely. bye” and the player was like “is he still wearing merry’s friendship bracelet in this dream” and the dm was like “yeah…”
fsdfjhskdf the dm just sent us all this image
so merry taught naeric (the dragon) the power of love, obviously, and because his heart was open and beautiful he started dating…a SECOND evil dragon. and then that gf betrayed him and cast ninth level imprisonment on him so now naeric is our damsel in distress and we have to save him from his girlfriend, the actual villain. how the turntables…
and. in the most horrible plot twist of all. the gf stole his friendship bracelet.
As someone who took etiquette lessons, politeness is an incredibly effective tool for disarming bigots. You can either force them to reconsider their words/actions by directly and calmly confronting their behavior (by using the rules of society in your favor), or you can dip entirely while they appear to be in the wrong.
Both options are great.
Because the thing is, when bigots pick fights, they are 100% counting on you to get louder than them. Or meaner. They want you to react emotionally and provide fodder for their ‘You’re Too Emotionally Immature To Understand’ cannon.
What they aren’t expecting you to do is say one of the following phrases in a polite, concerned tone:
Are you okay?
That’s not the kind of language I was raised to use with others.
Do you need a moment to think on why that wasn’t acceptable?
This is no way to engage in intelligent conversation. Please try that again in a kinder tone if you’d like this to continue. (I really like this one because it lets you turn their public-shame rhetoric around)
For those of you who’d are spiteful and/or dealing with Fundamentalists/Evangelicals/generally shitty Christians:
What’s happening in your life to cause you this much anger? I can’t imagine hurting so badly that I need to hurt other people.
Who taught you it was acceptable to treat other people this way? Certainly not the Jesus I remember.
Whatever happened to 'judge not lest ye be judged’?
If I talked like that in front of my parents or grandparents I would be ashamed.
I think there’s something you need to pray on before we try and have this conversation.
And my all time favorite:
“It sounds to me like there are some seriously dark and angry forces at work in your heart.”
(Nothing stops a Christian bigot in their tracks faster than implying the Devil is causing their bigotry. But you MUST be calm, polite, and gentle with your tone and wording. It is absolutely fair to twist the rules and play them at their own game, but you gotta play hard.)
TLDR: It’s much faster to use etiquette, politeness, and rhetoric reversal when eviscerating idiots online and in person, because they aren’t expecting you to weaponize their behaviors back in their direction. Don’t get angry, get spitefully polite! :)

am I making sense
Some additions from the notes

To everyone who has reminded me that the Percy Jackson movies exist, I hate you, thanks.
btw i’m 100% sure i did not invent this concept but i think coat racks are such a nice option for renters/dorm-dwellers etc. who would like to have hanging plants without nailing into the walls
^ this costs $12.99 at IKEA
and if you can go up to like $25 you can get one with a low shelf to put, like, medium-sized floor plants on as well
these tags make me so happy!!!!!! you can find really nice ones on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist sometimes, too – here the $10 rack i found on FBM :^)
I HAVE THAT SECOND RACK THAT JUST BECAME OUT OF USE FOR ME BECAUSE I MOVED AND HAVE MORE CLOSET SPACE NOW, THIS IS BRILLIANT
enjoy the plants!!!!!!!!
i’m really tickled people liked this post!!!! 🥰
for people with a higher budget, i think bamboo clothes racks like this one could look absolutely fantastic btw! and a little less stark white if that doesn’t match your decor (though that could probably be changed with a can of spray paint if you have the room to do any DIY stuff!)
i do see the bamboo racks pop up on Facebook Marketplace from time to time as well…..👀
maybe wander around the house/stretch a little if you’ve been sat at the computer a while (artists especially: sTRETCH THOSE WRISTS)
reply to that text/message from earlier you’d forgotten about
maybe send a nice lil message to someone having a bad day?
I just would like to thank everyone who ever reblogs this so that it somehow ends up back on my dash because I usually need the reminder (especially the drinking water one)
Of all posts to see with a million notes, I’m glad it’s this one.
