this night sky makes city lights shine like diamonds

1. DO NOT censor your posts

dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)

2. we dont really have an algorithm

you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points

3. dont crosstag

we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)

4. dont expect to go viral/be famous

"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is

5. blocking is your best friend

tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on

6. you cant go into someone elses house and start rearranging their furniture

You need to actually reblog posts for this site to work as it should.

Liking posts only saves them in a spot that no one checks except for the user who liked them. Most people have their liked posts hidden.

Also, this site has a spam bot problem. One way we weed those out is to check the blog to see if it's actually being used to post legitimate content. If there is absolutely nothing on your blog you're getting blocked and some users may just straight up report you as spam as a precaution.

I’ve been going at this since roughly 8 pm and I would be a whole lat farther along if they didn’t change up the columns since the last data pull we did, so now I have to keep retooling my code in the reports I built to export data from the database (I’m using Microsoft report builder because that’s what I’ve got).

So far I’m feeling like I can do this. We’ll see if that feeling sticks with me into the wee hours. Will update soon.

Yes plural. All of them, not just the Holy Godson one. Every guy who ever existed named Jesus, and all the Joshuas, Yoshuas, and every other variant of the name too. Every one of them. I am summoning them into this motherfucker’s house.

I’m an adult.

Getting a little tired but the rage at them telling us we had the whole day to do this and then putting a 10 am deadline on this is keeping me going.

Also little bits of data keep rising to the top of my spreadsheets as I work. A Client Name that shares the last name of a woman I knew 20 years ago who always made my day brighter and I still think of her fondly. Discovering a place I used to spend most of my waking hours when I was a small child hired my new company for something feeling like a favor returned backward through time.

I can also see a handful of other green checkmarks as my colleagues in the accounting department prep their data.

If you create a proposal on the wrong project by mistake (or you didn’t realize one already existed and made a new one because the first one was named something too generic to find in a search) you can disconnect the proposal from the project and attach it to the correct project.

For some reason two entire departments in the company have spent the last six months disconnecting every proposal they have made from their projects, and never associating them with any other project. Just, leaving them associated.

The disconnection can only be done by a manual process that takes seven steps. This could not be accidental. And there is absolutely not one single good reason for this. It makes no sense.

They are the two largest departments in the company with the highest number of proposals.

Because of this there are giant gaping holes in my fucking days for these projects and I don’t know if this data will be accepted by the new system.

I have changed my mind.
