Okay so I did some research, very basic research, on the user base of tumblr and how many of us there are.
There are at least 300 million unique visitors worldwide on this site. Over 500 million blogs.
Listen. Tumblr is $30 million in debt. This is Super easy for us to solve.
If each user gifts one blog crabs, which costs slightly over $3, that would be roughly $600 million at least. Far more than enough to get Tumblr out of the red zone.
If we want tumblr to stay afloat and not change something as integral about their operating system, we need to show them they can be profitable without reducing themselves to common social media sites. What we have here is special. It is different. We are the social media site people run to when theirs collapses and for good reason.
If we want this to work, we have to make it work. We can even make it into a game. Just how long can we outlast the other social media sites?
If you can't show up in person, make a phone call. If you can't call, write a letter. If you can't write a letter, an email.
In order to liberate our communities from this lovecraft country's Jim & Jane Crow violence, we have to upRoot white supremacist politics and practices from the root.
Hello, I made this short animation for @rumpuslr’s Ident series. It took me about 2 years, on and off, sometimes off work and sometimes during work hours. Clean up is what took the longest - it very nearly broke my back. Think it was worth it though because I’m pretty proud of this (still got to look after ourselves and not sit down for too many hours straight, though)
There are some bits in it I am quite not happy yet, but they are mostly some clean up mistakes. Better to have something finished than perfect though; While being a student it’s easy to claim to be a perfectionist because by then we don’t have much experience yet and are not aware of how long/how much work the things we want to do actually take.
If you’d like to check out some pre-production work either from Rumpus’s website or mine, here are the links:
Here's my take. I don't care if Christian lawmakers are just reading the bible wrong. I don't care about the bible. I don't care about Christianity. Religion and government should not mix. There is no way to be a good religious politician if your religion influences your politics. Even if your religion is about peace and love. Human rights are areligious.
So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom
It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education
