like is anyone else just constantly thinking about how capitalists have stolen our world from us lol

Miss Piggy's response to misogyny and fatphobia is physical violence and I think we should all take something from that

Bugs Bunny isn’t your conventional trickster god - he doesn’t steal or lie; rather he inflicts on us a societal hubris. He traps us in the rules, conventions and expectations we’ve made. Forcing us to go through the niceties of the barbershop or DMV at the times most inconvenient to us. If we didn’t have these rules - if it was twelve thousand years ago and all we had was a snare and a knife, Bugs would be nothing more than a mortal rabbit. But now we have built so much and he has become a god.  

Been a while since I’ve seen this good post.

trickster god of bureaucracy

terrible years really make you understand the point of a new year. i know nothing much will have changed between dec 31 and jan 1, but we need to be able to partition off everything that’s happened to us, we need a moment to say, ‘that’s done, we’re done with it, it’s over’ and have a little hope that the future will be different. we need to be able to stop and take a breath and sing, in the middle of winter, and prepare ourselves for spring.

Sorry chap I wish I could have an opinion on things but my brain is full trying to memorize all of the ABCs (there are 26 of them) not showing off just stating the facts

sorry bro can't go out tonight. i'm stuck in an eternal state of melancholy

I honestly think that the reason that twitter and tik tok think that tumblr is dead is that it does not have an algorythym that spoon feeds you content in the same way, there's no fyp and there's no news feed in the same way and people come here not realising they actually have to follow creators to see content.

On one hand really easy to get echo chambered on the other hand they think we are dead and it should stay that way

It's actually harder to get echo chambered on Tumblr, because posts travel organically and are bound to attract people you never expected to attract, while the algorithm-based feeds tend to feed you what you already consume.

My mutuals constantly post content I hate and that's healthy

I’m too lazy to think of a fake post but everyone was clapping

this is true i was there clapping

People will watch things like parasite and squid game, media that blatantly calls out capitalism and the effect that it has on the lower class and still come out of it like "wow I can't believe poor people are morally bad because they're poor and there's no other outside influence"

in order to be truly cool you have to drop out once or twice while getting your BA. that's my opinion

I love that in the ten years I've been on tumblr, tumblr users' attitude towards tumblr has come full circle, now we're back where we started at "tumblr is our beloved home, no other social media can compare, no other website has what we have, do not trust other websites, do not tell the outsiders about us", only this time we're like. Really exhausted and with a sense of irony about it.

you know what, we should organize a tumblr convention
