Ugh, was having a great time mocking my recently imprisoned rival when I noticed the camera positioning makes it so that I appear behind the bars, thus framing me as trapped in a metaphorical prison of the narrative, now my whole day is ruined. Fuck.
I watched the live with the CEO, here is the tl;dr
The good news:
Chronological dash is here to stay! Whether you have to toggle it weekly or new users default to “For you” was not elaborated on but at least that’s confirmed.
Custom themes are here to stay! Once again, may be buried for all I know but, for sure will remain an option.
Search updates are in the works!!!!
The neutral news:
Tumblr is seriously in the red financially and needs more support, Ad-free for example is not widely used
They would not comment on the suggestion to bring back NSFW behind a paywall (which we all know would get them a boatload of money)
They’re possibly going to add a donation system like Ao3 and Wikipedia.
They would “rather not” sell data to make up the costs
Most of staff are pre-2010 tumblr users including the CEO who joined in 2007, so they do actually use the site and have for a long time
The bad news:
Condensed reblogs/removing reblog chains is going forward. The reason cited was to meet “certain expectations” of users coming from other social media, which isn’t good.
Disability features (specifically turning off flashing ads for epileptics) was met with a request to purchase Ad-free
Overall it was more chill than I expected, @photomatt and @zingring seem to be far more in tune with the userbase than u/spez.
Matt looked at his room one more time as he zipped up a soft cooler with three different types of alcohol and figured they can grab ice when he got there. He popped in his headphones and threw on his backpack that had some work and clothes in it as well as some supplies so that he could stay over and come home already showered at least. He knows that Minx said he's doing the walk of shame, but based on how quickly he texted back he had to prepare himself for her to change her mind a few times. Once he got to the door, he called her instead of a text just in case her pregame was a little stronger than he expected, leaning on the door frame when she opened the door, "Howdy, darling, mind if I come in?" he joked with a surly grin.
8:15 p.m.[Text: Just Minx] I feel like getting drunk tonight...Wanna drink next to each other and forget the concept of emotion?
8:20pm [text: the other matt] My ideal night, actually
[Text: Gabbie] Wow fuck you. And you've made everything about you by making it about me, which meant you made a selfish and conscious decision to be around me and were consciously agreeing to a relationship you didn't want. You just aren't grown enough to fucking communicate your feelings or what you wanted and in turn you cheated me and yourself. I really don't have it in me to fight with you anymore OMFG
[Text: Gabbie] Keep the fucking jacket if you're just gonna be a child about it. Don't come crying to me when no one has the energy to pity you anymore.
[text: Gabbie] Can I please have my Twitch hoodie back?
[text: Gabbie] Hope freedom is everything you wanted
[text: ugh.] I never asked for "freedom". Don't act like it's about me.
Shipping isn't trying to explain why a relationship is actually canon. It's not even trying to explain why it should or could be canon. Shipping is saying "wouldn't it be funny if these two fucked" and everyone needs to remember that.
had a shit day yesterday and ended up going bonkers insane on the wikipedia entry for soup. did you guys know that the original french word "restaurant" meant a type of soup!!!!! i know the word is difficult to pronounce for non-speakers (ppl here in germany have trouble with it too) but try to think of it as a form of "restore." and now youre eating a "restorant." something that's supposed to restore your energy. that's more or less how the word is pronounced, because that's the type of soup it was!!!!!! and then in 1765 a guy in paris opened up a shop where you could eat restaurant and other places started to copy it and call themselves restaurants!!! and now every time you eat anywhere youre AT SOUP!!!!!!! arent humans so fucking good i love it here. my body hurts so much but i am no longer crying about it because there will always be someone somewhere in the world who desperately wants to help me with soup
