unfriendly reminder that the people organizing “crab day” are christian terfs that aren’t at all subtle about it.
tumblr’s debt is their fault. they’ve shown that they don’t care about their base - especially the trans women/fems on the platform - and should not be rewarded for this behavior.
use your money on better things. plenty of fundraisers that need help you can donate to (please reblog this to add in yours/flip through reblogs to find someone’s fundraiser) or you could help out the Entertainment Community Fund since LA has predictably sided with Universal.
its really bizarre how after a couple decades of mostly uncensored internet access and raunchy premium cable made it so nobody gives a shit about swearing, we’re now re-entering an era of quaint self-censorship in the name of platform marketability rather than politeness. im sure nobody actually cares. im sure none of the advertising dicks, or boardmembers, or anybody really cares that much personally. they just think it will scare people off somehow. so now grown adults are saying “h-e-double-hockey-sticks” ass bullshit on the same social media websites where they try to get their meat slonked and find a dealer.
either tumblr’s moderation staff is actively transmisogynistic or they have completely automated community label reviews and their automated system is, because of its training sets, transmisogynistic. and to be clear i think the second one is both more likely and also worse
the crab day thing kind of proves staff must think we’re all fucking idiots
hi there. tumblr as a website is currently operating at a deficit because nobody wants to pay for ad free browsing. this is because basic quality-of-life features are either nonexistent or malfunctioning, our staff refuses to take the most trivial of anti-hate speech measures despite demonstrating the tools to do so against minority bloggers, and every form of content moderation is heavily and transparently weighted against the LGBT community. as the people in charge, we have decided that we’re going to ignore all of those factors and instead make an appeal to nostalgia to get you to buy dumb cosmetic bullshit for your dashboard while we threaten to turn the website into an even less functional twitter clone, much like how all the smartest shipwrights in the 1920s decided to model their new vessels after the RMS Titanic.
lest it ever be thought that i think that literature is better than other forms of media by dint of simply being literature, i must say, light novels are the worst dreck known to man nigh-universally
“I’m at the foot of the ladder. These LEM footpads are only depressed in the surface of that one or two inches. Although the surface appears to be very, very fine-grained as you get close to it. It’s almost like a powder. It’s very fine. Okay, I’m going to step off the LEM now. That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

obsessed w when people start inevitably bitching about how long the winds of winter is taking and they’re like “Brandon Sanderson has written 15 books in that time” yes but. Are they good?
The threat that we won’t have new shows and movies coming out because of the strikes would hit a little harder if 99.9% of everything coming out wasn’t God awful derivative schlock that you watch once and immediately forget.
