This post today is more than twice as old as Tumblr itself was when this post was originally made.

why is tumblr trying to recommend comments to me on the actual posts themselves. i don't want to see what these people r saying i in fact usually go out of my way to avoid just that

What the fuck

telling your online friends "wait there i'm coming" is funny regardless of the distance that you are from them. if they're within driving distance it has the humor of being a real possibility and if they're overseas it's funny because how are you getting there. especially if it's a limited time event. one of my personal favorites is saying i'm walking in their general direction

It's interesting to compare how the technical limitations of various social media platforms dictate the structures of posts written for them – and, via those structural requirements, what sorts of things can be communicated at all; for example, right now you're reading a post which, while it appears to consist of a full paragraph of text, is in fact a single very long (but technically grammatically correct) sentence, producing a reading experience that wouldn't be possible on a short-form microblogging platform like Twitter or Bluesky owing to the need to split it somewhere in the middle and thus give away the fact that I'm deliberately wasting your time for the sake of a bit.

science is for everyone! it was Black women who took us to the moon!

I hope they are still in love and got married

Tumblr is the website where you ramble to yourself like a madman until someone decides they like you and put you into their pocket like a shiny rock. That's how you get followers

the sound is a very important aspect of this
