“oh they’re not taking away chronological dashboard, well everything’s okay then” they also said in the post they’re making reblogs collapsed (like comments on twitter) so you won’t see the full conversation in a post. they also won’t get rid of tumblr live despite it being an annoying and cancerous data-miner that isn’t legal in much of the world. they won’t even let you opt out of tumblr live for more than seven days. they implemented a terrible photo viewer that mimics tiktok and makes it so you can’t zoom in on images. they took away the ability to view prev tags. they’re making it so you have to sign in with your email to view almost any thing on tumblr. they’ve already made it so you have to sign in to send asks, even on anon. they’re slowly phasing out custom blog themes.
the things that make tumblr at all usable and favored by us– the older web blog features, the anonymity– that is still being taken away. it HAS been being taken away for some time now. i am urging you people to reveiwbomb the tumblr app. force them to acknowledge that users do not like these changes.
Also, mobile users - TURN OFF AUTOMATIC UPDATES IN THE APP STORE
You’ll likely start getting a blue banner at the bottom of the screen whenever you open the Tumblr app, but it can be swiped away. I turned off automatic updates for the app a while back (my app logo is still the wizard hat) and honestly? Best decision I’ve ever made.
look i worked in publishing briefly and i am probably not allowed to say this because i’m sure i signed something in my hr paperwork that said so, but also:
It is the biggest open secret in the industry that james patterson absolutely does NOT write his own books, he writes his ideas and some very detailed chapter-by-chapter outlines and then some other author, the ones who are credited in the books as co-authors, are the ones that actually write the words that you wind up reading on the page
and like, okay i guess, but can you imagine having THAT as your career, so easy you don’t even have to write your own books other authors hungry for a paycheck and some exposure write them for you after you come up with the idea, and still you think this fucking industry is biased against white men
just so we’re clear, shit talking of James Patterson over this comment wasn’t just because he doesn’t write his own books and yet is wildly successful
its also because he had a pretty successful imprint that published lots of first time authors (many of whom were women and/or POC) who published under their own names and not his, and then without warning it was turned into an imprint that solely published books that he “wrote” in collaboration with other people.
like not only is he a wildly successful white guy who thinks he is being discriminated against, he also screwed over tons of less successful POC and female writers and editors because he wasn’t getting as much credit for their work as he wanted.
LEXIE: I love you. Oh go-Oh my God. That just came, fa-flying out of my face. It was some- some kind of ‘I love you’. I love you. I just- Uh. I did it again! I… I-I-I- I love you. I do. I just, I-I love you and I have been trying not to say it. I have been trying so hard to just mash it down, and ignore it, and not say it and Jackson is a great guy. He is. He’s gorgeous and, and he’s younger than you. He doesn’t have any grandkids or-or, babies with his lesbian BFFs and he’s an Avery and he liked me. You know? He really liked me! But it was never gonna work out because I, I love you. I’m so in love with you. And you’re, you’re, you’re in me. It’s, you’re like, it’s like, you’re a disease. It’s like I am infected by Mark Sloan. And I can’t, I can’t think about anything or anybody and I can’t sleep! I can’t breathe! I can’t eat. And I love you. I just, I love you all the time. Every minute of every day. And I-I-I, and I love you. God, that feels good to just say that! I feel so much better! I love you! Mark?
SEASONINGS include herbs and spices, along with minerals and chemicals used to season food!!!! Salt, citric acid, and MSG, are all examples of seasonings that are NOT herbs or spices!
HERBS are flavorful leaves. Only. Leaves. Doesn’t matter if its dried, fresh, whole, or ground, if it is a leaf, it is an herb
SPICES are flavorful parts of plants that are NOT LEAVES. These include seeds, berries, stems, bark, roots, flowers, buds… NOT LEAVES
i desperately want to study russell t. davies’s mind bc he was like you know what this classic british kids scifi show needs? a really slutty extroverted openly bisexual american space criminal who becomes immortal and then turns into a wrinkled wizened ten foot tall suspended alien head in an aquarium. and he was right
And here you can see, the displaced redditor, roaming the wilderness of Tumblr. An invasive species, but one that is nonetheless welcome after decades of deforestation drove off the natural predators of the ecosystem, and allowed the wild pornbot to thrive and wreak havoc on the local plant life.
