you dont have to be a parent to understand the horror of walking into a room to discover that the baby crawled out of his crib and onto that pottery wheel you forgot to turn off, and while the baby is spinning around and around, the dog is sitting there all calm, like a person, gently using his paws to fashion the babys soft cartilage head into something a little more modern.Ā it might be the classic tale of bad parenting, but lets see where the dog is going with this
This post is from 2013. It has less than 100 notes. Together we can revive this work of art that tragically ahead of its time. Weāre ready for it now
a show thatās focused on psychological horror, not remotely a comedy, but still has a laugh track. but it plays at deeply inappropriate moments, like horrific tragedies and the lowest points of peopleās lives. things that arenāt funny and clearly arenāt MEANT to be funny, but the laugh track just roars. and some characters seem like they can sense something wrong when the laughter plays. and the lore of the show gradually leads in a cosmic horror direction as it becomes clear that the laughter was never a sound cue for the audience. itās something alive.
I need to be a genetically modified organism now!
The crux of the anti trans movement is a war on bodily autonomy. They don't want you to have any agency over what you look like, how you dress, who you date, whether to have kids, etc.
They want total control over you. Not just trans people. Not just queer people. You. Everyone.
Trans people are just a scapegoat. They want total control over everyone's self expression. They want the right to mold you into their perfect little cog in their dehumanizing machine.
Happy Trans Day of Visibility. Our rights are your rights. Our destruction is your destruction.
10/10 post bringing it back for 2026
theyre injecting me with poison at the lab today to find out if im immune to poison but im not immune to poison so i just die send post

Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes
The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve.Ā
Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, youāll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.
If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.
Past notes will stay on the original post ā we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.
This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out ā stay tuned!
Let's talk about reblog notes.
We rolled out a significant change to how notes work on reblogs, and the reaction has been strong. We're not going to pretend otherwise.Ā
First things first: We're reversing the change. Your feedback in comments, emails, and especially reblogs, made clear that the rollout created problems we need to address before moving forward. We also should have communicated this differently from the start, and we didn't.
We still believe there's a better version of how reblogs can work. One that gives every voice in a chain the credit it deserves. But we want to get there with you.
In the coming days we'll share more on how we plan to do that,Ā including ways to work directly with some of you on this and future changes before they ship.
Keep an eye on @staff for updates to come soon.Ā
The rollout created problems we need to address before moving forward. [...] We still believe there's a better version of how reblogs can work. One that gives every voice in a chain the credit it deserves.
I do not think @tumblr @staff @changes have sufficiently convinced users that the existing system was wrong - if you want users to be in dialogue with you about how to make reblogs better, I think you need to make a better argument in the first place for how the existing system undermined users by discrediting voices, discouraging conversation, or withholding recognition of contributors, as those are your claims.
You say the rollout created problems, which it did, but moreover the problems you claim it aims to fix are not ones I have ever heard users complain about in my entire time on this site. On the contrary, the change to this system being unwarranted is what's garnering the criticism. There is no sense in trying to troubleshoot the rollout if the change the rollout seeks to achieve is still not wanted by the user base.
While I'm as delighted as many others that the rollout is being reversed, I'm concerned at the implication that everyone's backlash has just been a kink to iron out, rather than a resounding refusal that these changes need to happen whatsoever. You must understand that consultation with the users on this change cannot just be to force a compromise, and that refusal of the change altogether if it's found to be unworkable should be an option here.
I think there's a fundamental mismatch here between the interests of staff, who are likely interfacing with the site in a professional capacity, and the users, many of whom have been on the site for *most of their lives* (as I have) or nearly that long, and as such are embedded within the culture and community of the site. I think, through such long term use, the users have intuitive knowledge of mechanics of the website which are too arcane or intangible to be obvious to those who are working on the site from the back end. I don't mean to patronise staff here, but they've made it clear with this rollout that they don't understand the implications of their changes on the user experience, I mean this all sincerely and in good faith.
The notes on Tumblr are completely incomparable in their mechanics to metrics on other sites. Engagement on Tumblr is manifestly different to other sites, and that is the entire allure of the site.
All of the notes on a post being "attributed" to OP is not read as discrediting voices, discouraging conversation, or withholding recognition of contributors. This framing immediately assumes the faulty premise that the function of notes is accreditation, a motivator of conversation, recognition, (even calling it "the love"). This imports assumptions of the function of notes which are anathema to the culture of the site. I'm sure you have heard the phrase "the purpose of a system is what it does"; the system of notes and reblogs has always functioned in a unique way on this site: that is why we have stayed here, it's why people have flocked here, it's why we've boasted to new users about how good our site is, and it's why we encourage our friends to migrate onto this platform. I think this next point is crucial to understand, as it doesn't just stand for this change, it underpins so much of the friction between staff and the users.
Metrics on other sites function as impressions which imply clout - they translate to revenue, reach of influence, popularity, self esteem, value etc.. As such, it can be said:
the purpose of metrics on other sites is to impart or imply value.
This shapes the entire user experience and the incentive structures for the users, which in turn changes user behaviour, the platform's culture, the content on the platform, the interactions on it and so on - a huge chunk of the nature of the platform is downstream from that purpose. Users on other sites can, for instance, get "ratioed", because of how metrics work on them. The fact practices such as ratio-ing aren't applicable on Tumblr is part of what keeps our UX distinct and appealing.
Notes on Tumblr function as an organisational system. The purpose of notes on Tumblr is not to impart or imply value, but to facilitate navigation.
1: Notes do not functionally imply value. When everyone knows how likes and reblogs have always worked, and that notes are "attributed" to OP, there is no competition instilled into users for their contributions to be clickbait/ragebait/low-effort etc to drive engagement on their individualised note count, as they know their contributions, as anyone else's, are a guest in the space of OP's post. Far from discrediting or discouraging people's voices and input, it equalises everyone's.
Furthermore, because everyone is using the same mechanics, we're all aware that you only have one like to give each post, and while it may be hard to decide who to bestow that like to, there can be no hard feelings when we're all aware of that reality. Individualising the note count only incentivises people to become preoccupied with engagement, which none of us want. If we wanted that, we'd join twitter or something.
2: Notes functionally facilitate navigation, and that is their purpose on this site. I think the navigability of the network of a reblog chain has been undervalued by staff for a long time, and this has been demonstrated in a range of updates. It was demonstrated in the segregation of different types of reblogs, as well as the removal of the ability to click on the username whom the latest user reblogged from, to jump to the post on that previous person's blog, within the context of what they'd posted around that time. The more easily the network of reblog chains on a post can be navigated, or can be used to navigate to related content by related users, and the more easily one post that crosses your dash can expose you to users you may not otherwise have seen, the more integrated and communal the user base can be; I encountered many of my mutuals years ago, by realising they were common denominators of my favourite content from my then-mutuals or mutual-in-laws, before this feature was removed.
The more friction is put between a user and interfacing with the contributions of all other users on a post, the more community is functionally discouraged. Much as the change announcement above implies users who "don't add anything" are less deserving of "the love", relegating users who don't add anything to a separate page of reblogs, while streamlining scrolling for an addition, destroys the legibility of the network (in tandem with the previous user's post becoming harder to access). Reblogs which add nothing are equally appreciable to users - I love my mutuals bringing good posts to my dashboard, irrespective of if they have anything to add. Sometimes the context of it being my mutual adds something to the post in and of itself. Sometimes nothing needs to be added. It is senseless to prioritise maximising engagement over the existing social dynamic there, and to assume I'd want my note on their post to go to whomever last put something on that reblog chain is just arbitrary and, frankly, dumb. Again, it shows a huge lack of understanding of the functions of notes, and the social implications of how they are used. These kinds of changes are cumulatively eroding the design choices upon which tumblr's communities have thrived for so many years.
I truly hope staff don't just "listen" to users in the way that, say, EA claims to listen to Sims fans but really just picks a few model simmers to speak for the community, who then betray the community's actual desires. Staff can't just pick and choose whose voices to respond to on this in order to push through predetermined changes, they need to genuinely comprehend what the functions on this website mean to the users, and how, and act accordingly.
Once again, Iām asking you to agree with noOdlru.
If y'all want another reason to take to staff you can make it clear that if someone on this site who hates you saw your post rb-ed from someone else and decides to drop your full legal name, address, and SSN you not only would NEVER have ANY way to even KNOW...you'd also have no way to ever stop it.
This is legit a horrifically bad update. Straight up thinking we have a blackout day or some shit. At the very least do not shut up, this is bad for all of us.
No nipples or trans and intersex people but dw we've got plenty of AI porn ads and the ability to destroy someone's life without consequence!!
Edit: The destruction of the core appeal of this site is important to bring up but we also really need to loudly point out as often as we possibly can that this update makes it unsafe to use tumblr at all. This kind of a thing could get someone killed. They cannot keep this feature, it has the potential to risk lives, and not just in a "creator can't see feedback or engage with audience so they lose money they need" way, also in a you could doxx and incite violence against a user and THEY WOULD LITERALLY NEVER HAVE ANY WAY TO KNOW AND THEY WOULDN'T GET THE HELP THEY NEED TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENS THEY CAN'T PROVE IT WAS BCS SOMEONE PUT YOUR ADDRESS ONLINE.
But nah, you're right, I'm sure risking or ending the lives of vulnerable people is totally worth it to ruin everything everyone loves about this place and turn it into a garbage twitter clone!
i love listening to song on repeat!!!!! reblog if you love listening to song on repeat!!!!!!!!!
