said this on tiwtter too but im seriously at my limit, people go and be all like "oh my god young people have no idea of basic internet security omggggg"
and the same person will immediately make an account on t/hreads that is stealing so much data from you its basically one step away from straight up kidnapping
i get we are all desperate, i really do, but i WILL judge you if you go and sign up for the literally shittiest app on earth thats really just a flimsy disguise of a bunch of data suckers in a trench coat
use tumblr, cohost, pillowfort, (the latter two also allow nsfw) ANYTHING but that suckerberg leech i am BEGGING you
idk how accurate it is but i saw the numbers of 75 MILLION sign ups for the threads bs, what the hell are you doing, i feel like im in one of those old anti technology comics were young people just walk off a cliff en masse bc they only look at their phone and nothing else while im the old guy in a chair watching them do it

let me put my apathy towards c!aimsey “losing a canon life” this way: you’re watching a new show thats been going strong for 2 years, has a central plot that everyone has been a part of at one point. a new character is introduced and dies instantly. now. now why would you care

i feel like i see posts like this so much and it's kind of weird bc this applies only to like. a very specific subset of people (ppl who are into phineas and ferb + aware of the "two nickels" thing being repostet a lot) which is like. a subset of people in a fairly specific age range (the right age to have watched phineas and ferb so like. idk 15 - 30 year olds probably being generous) AND are active on specific social media platforms to have seen this joke repeated a lot so it burrows into their memory bc most people who just casually watched phineas and ferb aren't that likely to remember this specific moment (i know i didn't without the meme). and idk this is not a big deal i just find it interesting how often people online will post about something that is extremely specific to them and the social circles they move in as if it's a really universal experience

Two things going on in my mind the last few days:
One! I'd love to do some sort of collab with ppl here ironstrange, Stephen, Tony, or any ship with either of those two tbh stuff along those lines- I've always adored doing collabs, but I don't think I've ever made one with a topic I'm actually passionate about. Soyeah-
But I am incredibly awkward to approach people and don't wanna seem pushy sO- If any of yall ever at some point in life are interested in making a collab, hit me up! My inbox is always open and I'd love to create something together we both like :'D
Two- self ships
How do those work? I've never interacted this way with fandom before, Tumblr has really opened me to new ways to enjoy media and the general non judgemental attitude I've seen around so far really makes me wanna try and have fun with things I haven't tried before.
Plus I've seen other people's self ships and it looks so fun and cool but I'm also like- what if I'm cringe? but also like others don't look cringe but also what if I am though?
Does one just fucking- go with it and say fuck it?

I wish green, white, and purple emojis weren't some kind of terf dogwhistle bc they're also the colors of the genderqueer flag but I can't trust anyone who has them on their socials :[

I’ve seen some stuff on multiple social media sites since 5sos5 came out about Luke and Sierra’s relationship and how the songs on the album mean they’re toxic together and I’m just really confused why the fandom seemed to collectively decide that every song 5sos writes is about Luke specifically. Like there’s four people in the band who are all songwriters why does every lyric have to be about Luke?

ngl people keep bitching about tumblr's choices to basically skullfuck their own UI as if the average user has any bearing or influence on the choices made and its starting to irritate me.
it can't be unique as a platform because shareholders and investors are generally high risk to maintain and most corporate teams do whatever the trend is to play conservatively to old men with money who have no idea how the average user interacts with social media. they literally hire everyone to do that research for them.
and you can insist that tumblr is worse; but it isn't and has always been like this. I understand the frustration, and I even agree with it. But can we stop being naive for five minutes and accept that no matter what if a social media platform is funded by corporate wealth hoarders that they will never give a shit what you personally enjoy doing with a website at least?
i use tumblr because it works and for no other reason. if it stops working for me, I follow the rules of capitalism and fuckin leave. This is why the free market sucks! because its blind competitive growth that means ultimately extremely nothing, and CEOs can just claim failed websites as tax deductible expenses if and when they fail.
They will tell staff they care about user retention. The staff believes them. They are being lied to, and so are you. Use the service as long as it is useful to you. That's it.
