recent incidents and reflections have really made me want to return here... I even had a dream last night about scrolling through tumblr on my phone...
I just miss feeling like I could say anything on my mind, even if it was "controversial" without being worried about repercussions -- does that sound terrible? I don't even know anymore! and I love that if I posted about being distressed it felt normal and for no one to say anything. it gave me the freedom to express how I feel without people getting up in my business about it.
I miss having -- what is it -- parasocial relationships? in which we could all kind of know of each other's existence without getting into really serious potentially irl involvement with one another.
somehow, I could talk into the "void" without feeling isolated.
but these days I'm trying really hard to "live by my ideals" and the couple times I've peaked at tumblr I've found it's become less and less what I liked about it and increasingly what I don't like about other social media... and who knows! maybe the things I have to say will put me at equal risk of losing the few mutuals I care about.
I'm exhausted and I want it all to go away
(anyway, if tumblr EVER allows porn again I will return IMMEDIATELY)

I've been tracking this thing for years now…
First saw it two years ago. I set up a trail cam outside to keep track of some loose boars. Since then, my life has been a nightmare. Whatever this "thing" is keeps trying to get into my house, every damn year. Can anyone help me?

at first I thought this was about the drink and I was like "fuck you"
now that I understand what it's saying I am still like "fuck you"
we have got to take monster energy anyway from the hands of trans people

here's your fucking feedback @staff
list of problems the removal of icons causes:
i cant see my friends
ruins the sense of community
can't tell at a glance who's online right now and what they're interested in
literally cannot tell without scrolling back up who put a post on my dash if it has a single addition attached to it. or like. 2 paragraphs in the op.
i cant click my own icon at the top of the dash to quickly view my own blog
can't tell who someone used to be if they change their username
squashes the margins between the menu and posts, making the whole dash feel more cramped
ruins the quick visual cue of how long each post is and where it ends when you're trying to scroll past ones youve seen before
people put a lot of creativity and individuality into icons, and now i never see them
makes people who primarily reblog instead of make their own posts all but completely disappear
list of problems solved by removing icons:
?????
who the fuck was asking for this
ive never in my life seen a website or app that has profile pics forcibly HIDE them, so i guess you did it you made the dash unique again in the worst way
here's some more feedback: maybe when you run an a/b test you should, idk, actually have a feedback form people can fill out about it somewhere

see i think what people get caught up in is going "oh this and that are fetish art......hey did you know x thing is a fetish...pretty crazy right.....this piece of art is actually a fetish for the artist........" and like. see the problem is thinking that devalues the art. i don't think something being a fetish or sexual in nature or whatever actually detracts from any meaning or emotional weight something could have. i don't think "horny" is a worthless or meaningless emotion and i don't see why exploring it in art is any different from "sadness" or "happiness" or "anger". does that make sense? im just sayin we should examine why we view sexuality as inherently detracting/meaning less in art than other things

Good morning 🦋
I got up at 6am to do the moth trap and have all my flappy friends released and safely hidden under leaves or logs when the rain arrived.
& Friends, it was worth it. Behold the antennas on this male spongey moth. BEHOLD THEM!!
May your weekend be as fantastic as this moth's antennas.
This moth is considered a pest reportable to forestry services in some countries/regions. Luckily it's not a problem in my area, and this majestic floof flew on about its day.
