and He saw that it was good

Hey!? I tried to reblog THIS POST today, funnily enough to complain about having the exact same problem. (I’m in the UK btw.)

Here’s what happened when I tried to reblog it on desktop: (I thought maybe @golbatgender had blocked me, but I was still able to follow them and reblog another of their posts.)

So I tried replying on mobile instead. No such luck. Here’s what happened when I tried to send the post or save it as a draft in the iOS app. Only this time it was much more annoying because these nasty little errors don’t show up until after you’ve finished writing.

Note that it is only this post that does it. Other posts work fine. So, not points for guessing what happened when I tried to reblog it on the mobile website.

@staff Are you fucking joking or what?!?

This may or may not be related to GDPR, but I have also found I can’t view any page at all on anyone’s blog without this clusterfuck website redirecting me to tumblr.com/dashboard. What the fucking fuck?

I have tried logging in with two accounts, three different browsers, and incognito mode. None of these did anything at all until I realised I could fix it temporarily with Hola VPN.

And while this is almost certainly unrelated to Tumblr, I do find it amusing this would happen on the same day that Instapaper, another site created by Marco Arment, decides to come back online after two months of shitting the bed with regards to GDPR.

Pictured: the page that European Instapaper users had to look at for TWO FUCKING MONTHS.

And as much as it is tempting to blame it on deliberate sabotage, I think that for both websites it was just a case of pure incompetence. Instapaper for one thing was so badly managed by its parent company, understaffed, didn’t have any idea how it wanted to make money… sounds very similar to Tumblr when you put it that way!

And no, while Marco doesn’t work at either of them anymore, he might just have left in some faulty code. Something like this perhaps?

1) If GDPR() = true; run command ShitTheBed.exe

2) Goto 1

I mean… I’m no programmer, but I imagine this is basically how this works. Right?

Was ist das nur für 1 Notfall

and that i realized and came to grips with my sexuality basically entirely independent of these poisonous ass swamps in the internet

13-year-old me: Okay yeah that makes perfect sense! My lingering prejudice against trans people is dispelled and I will support them however I can!

“Lol actually there are an infinite array of genders and you just pick one that seems fun for yourself! If you want to be a woman you just are now! Or a star or a fairy or a bunny or a god!”

 hey. hey. hey, listen. 

This is antisemitism. 

Juhannus was originally a celebration for Ukko the supreme god of weather and harvest. It was also a time for making magic since the spirit world was more active at the time of the white nights. A loud feasting and drinking brought luck in love as well as a good harvest and kept the evil spirits at bay.

1. Roll in dew

If you roll around naked in a field, your future spouse will appear in your life within a year. Dew was believed to have a healing effect and rolling in it was supposed to make you beautiful and healthy. Earlier, dew was even collected in cloths and pressed into bottles for the year to come.

2. Put a spell on a field

Find a four-leafed clover from the yard in the evening. Hide the clover under your shirt, next to your bosom. When the clock strikes midnight, let your hair loose and run to the field. Go around the field three times. When the person of your fancy will eat bread made out of the wheat from that specific field, they will fall in love with you.

3. Collect seven flowers

Collect seven different types of flowers from as many meadows. When going to bed, put the bouquet underneath your pillow. You will see “the one” in your dream. Flowers and plants have an important role in Midsummer celebrations. Previously, it was common to scatter tree leaves on the floors and build tree houses in the yards. Even cows were decorated with garlands, so as to secure a good year for the cattle and milk production.

4. Sweep naked

Sweep your bedroom floor naked, just a red thread tied around your waist, and the ghost of your love will greet you.

5. Tie a sauna whisk, vihta

Vihtas are always made for the Midsummer sauna. They are usually made out of birch as its fresh leaves are soft and have a lovely fragrance. For your magic spell, the Midsummer bath whisk should be made out of eight different tree and flower types. After the sauna, throw the whisk on the roof of the sauna. Climb up after it and see whereto the stem of the whisk points. That is the direction from which your future spouse will come.

6. Make a bonfire

The smoke of the bonfire will turn to the person who will find their spouse next. When the flames start to go out, jump over the bonfire to bring luck in love.

7. Look into a mirror

When you put two mirrors opposite each other on a midsummer night, you can see your future spouse in the reflection of the other.

8. Listen to the first sound

In the wee hours of the night, climb up somewhere high – on a hill, on top of a fell or a big rock. To a place where it is easy to hear surrounding sounds. Your future spouse will come from the same direction as the first sound of the morning. If you hear music, it means an approaching wedding. If you hear a child crying, it is a sign of birth. The number of cuckoo sounds tells how many years you have to wait until you find love.

I can’t believe what I just watched. I truly never thought I would see this day. The South and North Korean presidents meeting at the DMZ, crossing each other’s borders, and walking together to the south for a summit.

That’s the strange thing.  You can agree with somebody like Trump on some things or acknowledge when he does something good, but you don’t have to support him in everything he does or even vote for him, even if I was American.

There are two parties. Each says about 5% good things, 65% utterly meaningless things, and 30% absurdly evil things. About half of what they say is exactly identical to the other party, the rest is violently opposed. If you’re lucky, the evil things get opposed and don’t actually happen, but most often they both want the same evil thing because they’re both made up of rich politicians so people who are not rich politicians get fucked. But every single one of the good things is opposed by the other party.

Many people never put any thought into what they claim to think politically; they get taught to always vote for one of the two parties by their parents, then classify everything in terms of ‘us’ being good and ‘them’ being evil and stupid. The remainder of voters typically pick a single issue they like, and then look at which party has more positive rhetoric for that issue (whether they actually do anything to help or not) and classify everything as good or evil based on whether the chosen party says it or not.

For example, if your chosen issue is gay rights, or positive race relations, the Democratic party says more good things about that (while causing massive massive harm to the people actually dealing with the problem), therefore anything a Democrat says is “good” and anything a Republican says is “evil” even when they are the exact same thing or when the roles would be reversed in a situation where the party names never came up.

Like, at first, people were ironically making memes that blatantly explain the joke by labeling every object in the comic panel(s) to make fun of political cartoons like this one

But now people are, quite unironically, continuing to do just that

Memes have literally devolved into lazy political cartoons where jokes are told by simply labeling different characters/actions in a previous meme with ‘fitting’ personifications.

I find that kinda fascinating.

I’m not making fun of anyone or being negative here.
