i do think there is a degree to which certain kinds of Instagram activists have convinced themselves that traumatising themselves in solidarity is a useful form of activism. "I'm having nightmares and crying so much I want to be sick because of all these videos of dying children but I can't look away while people are getting hurt" I mean don't you think you'd be able to help more if you weren't having nightmares and crying all the time?? don't you think this is a one-way trip to burnout? don't you think maybe increasing the amount of trauma going around is counterproductive? I dunno bro there's something to be said for bearing witness but there comes a point where you gotta look hard at yourself and go "am I helping, or am I just making myself suffer so I don't feel guilty for not suffering while somebody else is experiencing bad shit"

welcome to tubmlr, the website where the CEO (!) follows you off the website to yell at you (!) by listing all your private accounts (!!!). its an awesome tagline and a good reputation to have im pretty sure

Matt Mullenweg is now sexually harassing Avery on Twitter for posting a selfie and the caption “too hot for tumblr”

what the actual fuck is he doing. where those were sw accounts this is not just completely inappropriate harassment but potentially outing. so fucking far beyond what he was already doing to follow her there.

also noting that he's changed his focus since nobody thought the screenshot of the threat was valid (and i have had multiple ex-staff confirm that it's not against tos, btw). this kind of info should never be dug up and put out there by a ceo having a tantrum, christ alive

if you like this website and you’re not trans or black or part of another minority tumblr’s targeting but want this to be an open and accepting place this is when you should start screaming from the rooftops, if you haven’t been already. in case it wasn’t abundantly fucking clear. especially if you have a blog where people listen to you. this isn’t the time for oooo this issue isn’t about me. because what’s gonna happen when those people are quite literally forced off the platform? terfs and nazis are gonna figure out this place isn’t gonna do shit to them and show up. (i say as if there’s not already nazis and terfs that @staff does nothing about. obviously i mean it’s gonna get worse). and then we’re all gonna be hanging out on the nazi terf site. not me. so. yanno. i won’t threaten anyone’s life, no matter how joking in tone because the ceo can’t handle that. but i will threaten to leave if you keep kicking and banning people who make this community richer in favor of people who only cause pain. and you should, too. because the alternative is shutting my trap and letting a community i’ve been a part of for over a decade be killed by hate.
