one of my favorite things about Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter is that he made it so that anyone who gave Twitter $8 could get the blue checkmark that indicates that the user is verified, so people on Twitter started paying for the verification check so they could impersonate tons of corporations on Twitter and tweet shit that cost some of the corporations billions of dollars in stock

(alternate text included under each picture!)

Alternate Text: A Tweet from an account with the Eli Lilly profile picture, handle (EliLillyandCo), and account name and a blue checkmark that says "We are excited to announce insulin is free now." (Eli Lilly is a pharmaceutical company notorious for jacking up prices/making drugs not affordable)

Alternate Text: a picture of the what Google shows when you search up "Eli Lilly stock," mainly a graph that starts out at nearly $370, steadily decreases to below $350 until a little before 12:00 pm, briefly climbs back up to just past $350 at just after 12:00 pm, and then continues climbing down. The graph is in red. Above the graph, the header says "352.30 USD: -16.08 (4.37%) down today"

Alternate Text: A Tweet from an account with the Lockheed Martin profile picture and account name, the handle LockheedMartini, and a verified checkmark that says "We will begin halting all weapons sales to Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the United States until further investigation into their record of human rights abuses. #WeAreLM" There is a picture of a jet flying in a blue sky with wispy clouds attached to the Tweet.

Alternate Text: a picture of the what Google shows when you search up "Lockheed Martin stock," mainly a graph that starts out at nearly $480 and is rapidly decreasing to just above $460 by 4:00 pm. The graph is in red. Above the graph, the header says "463.86 USD: -26.91 (5.48%) down today"

Alternate Text: two pictures, three Tweets total. The Tweet in the picture on the left comes from an account with the Nestlé name and profile picture, the handle NestleDeathCult, and a blue checkmark. The Tweet says "We steal your water and sell it back to you lol"

There are two Tweets in the picture on the right that both come from an account that has the Chiquita account name, profile picture, and handle (Chiquita) as well as a verified checkmark. The Tweet on the top reads "We've just overthrown the government of Brazil." The Tweet on the bottom reads "We apologize to those who have been served a misleading message from a fake Chiquita account. We have not overthrown a government since 1954."

Okay so musky bought Twitter, so we can probably expect some new tumblr people to crop up. I’d just like to say some words.

Please use the app as it is supposed to be used. Know that the algorithm here does not exist like other sites. This means that you create or follow the content you want to see, you share the content you want others to see. No one will be stalking your likes even if you have them public. Reblogs are the way to go. If you feel awkward reblogging, get used to it or go somewhere else. Reblogs are ALWAYS appreciated unless otherwise explicitly stated.

Also. You may not be used to this, but tumblr blogs are so fun and super customizable. You are highly encouraged to do this, because most tumblr users will block blank blogs / not-customized blogs on sight. Have fun getting to know the freedom of having a whole website to customize for yourself! Or 100! Side blogs are fun for that too!

Or you can just leave the theme as is and just have a different pfp / header just like anywhere else. No one will judge you.

TLDR; reblog posts you like, customize your blog, interact with the communities you’re entering. Otherwise, you may find that you’ll be blocked seemingly at random.

If you have any questions about how anything works, ask!!! If no one else is gonna answer, I will 🤷 welcome to tumblr

#tumblr meta #wishpost #wishrambles #the reblog crisis #Elon musk bought Twitter. and so i feel this is important to reiterate.#elon musk

Imagine being so rich you buy twitter for 10s of billions of dollars just for the lulz and then realize that wasn’t a good financial decision, so you plan to charge users $8/month for a feature that has been free since it’s existence just to recoup some money from your bad decision, but then that looks to lead to twitter’s downfall. Imagine.

#couldn’t be me #what if #hear me out #what if elon bought twitter for this very reason #to cause it’s downfall on purpose #but nah #i doubt it #he’s too much of a dude bro chad to do that #twitter #elon musk #stay woke

I interviewed a kid last night and she told me how she doesn’t have many friends at school but she makes up for it by having a ton of friends online through her blog, and bc I was in work mode I didn’t immediately connect blog with tumblr so when she asked if I’d heard of something called tumblr, I spent the next 10 or so minutes of the interview earning a fucking Oscar for my performance as Clueless Facebook Millennial #182

#me: ‘wait is that the one elon musk just bought?’ 🤣#it’s the overacting for me #but it got the job done #she thought I was funny for not knowing the difference between tumblr and twitter #I saved my reputation and what’s left of my dignity #can y’all even imagine if a client recognized me???? from fucking tumblr?!#I’d quit #move to Montana and start up a horse ranch #only 3 people live in Montana anyway #and I doubt any of ‘em have wifi #I’d be safe up there

WAIT! waitwaitwait!

ARE they gonna change Twitter's URL? They haven't yet and that was on my list of things that makes this rebrand so funky (they have a x.com url that DOES point to the site but it's just a redirect rather than a domain change).

But like. If the change the domain. They'll break all the links. Links directly to specific tweets that could be imbedded in posts and sites where someone can no longer change them, or like on Tumblr, even if they DID update the url that wouldn't change it in every instance of the post.

Omg this is so messy.

Oh that's funny.

#twitter #twitter x #x #elon musk #he bought himself into a situation many would sell their own organs for and he just pissed it all away~!#real life writes the post

Honestly, can we please take a step back and laugh over how absolutely hilarious the spectrum that is humanity? This turned into a bit of a tangent so the muskrat dragging will be under the cut.

Like, on one hand we have Elon Musk who is throwing the world’s biggest, most publicized temper tantrum over random internet strangers being mean to him and rightfully calling his bullshit out. This man is trying so hard to cover his tracks after buying Twitter and time after time after time again he keeps being his worse enemy. If he would just shut his mouth and stop giving the rest of the world fuel to clown the fuck outta him, Twitter wouldn’t be actively burning to the ground in real time right now. Sure, these memes are incredibly funny and I am very much thriving over these homefires, but I do feel bad for those who relied on Twitter for business like small artists. This is only the iceberg tip of his vileness, mind you.

Moving on, on the other side of the spectrum we have the backbone of our society, truly the peak, dare I say the PINNACLE of humanity- softly apologetic ao3 writers. Literally some of my FAVORITE ao3 experiences is opening up the update and seeing author’s notes like, “I’m so sorry I haven’t updated in a while, my cat’s ovaries exploded and on the way to the hospital I got into a major car crash but don’t worry the doctor who took care of me was amazing and next thing you know we’re wives now with like, two kids and yes my cat is perfectly fine after all of this time.” Obviously this is a dramatization, but we all know and have seen those authors who literally went through the most traumatic, the most absolutely life-changing shit and STILL genuinely apologize to their readers for?? For what??? Not updating this Wenclair Griddlehark AU 200k words enemies to lovers slowburn??? Like, you are the least problematic person to ever exist please don’t ever apologize for not cranking out surprisingly well-written smut about some popular Tumblr Sexyman getting the wizzy dizzy glizzy gulp gulp guzzler 9000 because real life obligations got prioritized.

(In all seriousness, yes, I love getting updates on my favorite fics as much as the next media enjoyer, but self care babes self careeeee. You may be a content creator of any variety, but you’re your own person first. Don’t ever feel the need to apologize for living your life because us shippers, shitposters, and all in-between can (and should) wait.)

tl;dr: The sheer duality of humanity is absolutely hilarious and I think we should talk about this more.
