#tumblr is my safe space

[agendergenderqueermasculenbyguy]

Welp, it happened.

I have posted before about how blocking content on tumblr has no stigma attached

You – yes, you, person reading this – are allowed to block whatever tags/ content you want

You don’t need to have a “reason”, you are allowed to block and filter content “just because” or “because I don’t want to see it”

Content does not need to trigger or squick you for you to be allowed to filter it

This post is officially your personal permission to filter out whatever content you would rather not see

And this includes filtering/ blocking “#current events” “#current news” “#global news”

You are allowed to exclude/ block out current world events from your tumblr experience

This does not mean you don’t care!

Yes, you are allowed to filter content “just because” or “because I don’t care”

But filtering exhausting and upsetting content does not imply you do not care!

Compassion fatigue is a real thing!

Especially if you (like me) follow several, multiple, a bunch of activist bloggers

There are global crises everywhere, I just read of 6 genocides happening which is precisely why I decided to finally block/ filter out those “current events” tags

How to filter in the tumblr app:

Go to your own blog >

click the little gear in the top corner >

General Settings >

scroll down >

just above “Color Palette” there it is >

Filtering

Type in whatever tags or words you want to not see in the future

This works for filtering out user-URLs too, if you have specific people you’d like not to see posts by

The “full text” filter will, however, 1) also look at the URL of the prev to who put it on your dash 2) ignores spaces in the post

Example 1: You follow “microplasdick” and you filtered “orange”; if the OP is called “orange-fishburne” your filter will hide that post; if the person microplasdick reblogged is “orange-cucumber” your filter will hide the post. Doesn’t matter if the word “orange” is not within the post itself

Example 2: You have filtered “orange” and a post goes “I also ran getting to my bus” – that post would get filtered because it contains “o ran ge” in that sequence

So “#tumblr is my safe space” and for that to stay true, you’re most definitely allowed to block out current events/ world news

Please take care <2

theory: scrolling through one person's tumblr and reading all their tags, posts, and reblogs feels a whole lot like falling in love with someone through their expression of their thoughts, feelings, and most of all their love for various things

#just a theory #tumblr #tumblr is unique #tumblr is my safe space #also it is my diary kinda #and you can learn a lot about a person based on their tumblr blog #that's it that's the whole post good night

You know that feeling where you feel so alone like you cant talk to anyone and you wish you could just say everything on your mind, confess your feelings, and say what you have wanted to say for the past month. the feeling where you feel like your on your own planet. the feeling when you just wanna cry. bc thats the worst feeling in the world.

The difference between ao3 users on tiktok (whom are usually new to the fanfiction community) and the ao3 users on tumblr (mainly the veteran users) is that tiktok readers are receiving their news about ao3 from Twitter, posting about it on tiktok and panicking without any idea on how to possibly deal with their new sudden loss. Tumblr readers, on the other hand have been through these situations (basically wars at this point), and report the information they find straight to tumblr to share the news, and while they mourn they also make light of the situation, finding new mutuals and looking for the cause of the maintenance or ways they can help.

let me tell you as someone who survived pop music artists stan twitter or whatever it’s called, marvel twitter, game of thrones twitter, and bts twitter (i wasn’t really involved with stranger things twitter but i trust you guys when you say it’s terrible)— it’s a shit show over on that app. like when people say they don’t want twitter users here, they’re not saying it to be gatekeep-y or whatever. they’re saying it because they don’t want to deal with seeing or experiencing any harassment.

twitter thrives off of toxicity. i think you can definitely attempt to create a healthy space for yourself depending on what your interests are, but i imagine that’d be hard because even if you don’t interact with anyone, you’re still seeing others interact with people in a horrible way. i know that being a part of fandoms that are big always led to there being drama every single day and drove me away from even wanting to talk about my interests. people really do help curate the experience you have with whatever you’re a fan of and when the people are bullying, harassing, and being rude; you suddenly do not like that thing all that much anymore.

you really have to experience twitter to fully understand it in my opinion. there’s a certain way that it works and it becomes very cliquish/cultish and idk it sounds dramatic for sure but the ones who have been on twitter and are saying it’s a bad place understand 100%.

#byler #sorry not byler related but i saw others talk about twitter in the tag so i wanted to also lol #i saw the rise of twitter and it’s downfall that’s insane #twitter used to be justin bieber vs one direction #those were the simpler times #bc at least everybody involved were ages 12-16 and it was just nonsense at the end of the day like no one cared lmfao #everyone on twitter now can’t think for themselves and are more eager to prove that they’re a ‘good’ person than actually being good #they think being good = making a problem out of everything and that everyone must share the same opinion and like the same things as THEM #and what’s wild is that someone will get doxxed over a goddamn fictional character #putting someone’s life in danger and being proud to do that is such a scary mentality #and i could write a whole essay on how damaging that is to think like that and how lots of social media users have an ego problem #i deleted twitter 3 years ago bc i started to use it less and less as it got more and more unbareable #and i’m way happier now #tumblr is my safe space #they need to fix twitter fr i don’t want this site to get ruined #especially by ads or brands and celebrities like idk i have so many thoughts

My most recent mistake was going from Tumblr to Instagram for a month. Never doing that again.

#Instagram is a mixture of Tiktok and Twitter somehow #no seriously #a FUCKTON of ADS and reels #and under all of them is outrage bullshit #Tumblr is my safe space #goofy memes and nonsense

[desi-yearning]

I sleep late everyday and yet I have the audacity to question why I have headaches and body pains😭

#I'm so shameless #tumblr is my safe space #tumblr is my happy place

[extraordinary-mamarracho]

I’m afraid of being boring

Too dramatic

Extremely naive

Stupid

A pain in the ass

A problem

I’m also afraid of dying

And I don’t know

Random thought: sometimes I hate Instagram. Sometimes I just want to be here and vibe, there’s no vanity or anxiety on what people posts or whatever. It’s just about a comfort zone and if there are struggling narratives I just don’t care to get invested. I just reblog my heart out and feel happy for peoples’ interest and likes that align to mine. That’s all. Bye-bye instagram: I’ll try to stay away for a week 🙏🏻

Rn it feels like this

Twitter: to access Twitter for 90 seconds pls give us 37 coins

Instagram: MAKES REELS NOWW NOW NOW NOW MAKE YOUR STORIES REELS WE WILL-

Me : well what if i don’t wanna do those things to share my art

Instagram: *points the weapon at me* try me.

Twitter: please give Elon currency to answer your question

(Please let tumblr have another golden area please I’m begging)
