“transition poses some ethical questions. Such as, from what age should you be allowed to irreversibly change your body.“

This of course completely ignores the fact that puberty makes irreversible changes to your body. But let us just rephrase the question: “from what age do you gain bodily autonomy?” Now it gets very easy to answer: From the moment you’re fucking born.

i love when smthing makes u mad and then u eat food and ur like okay that was still wrong but im normal about it now

it's crazy to me that halfway through the silmarillion fingolfin challenges morgoth to a 1v1 fight and morgoth accepts... like imagine halfway through lord of the rings aragorn bangs on the black gate and sauron actually comes out alone and they fist fight until sauron is wounded and aragorn goes splat and then his body is picked up by an eagle and dropped in rivendell. and then everyone else says "oh ok" and carries on somehow for another 500 pages like nothing happened

on a serious note regarding the wga strike and (as of 1:50 AM PST 7/13) upcoming sag-aftra strike, dsa-la has a fundraiser called The Snacklist which provides snacks and water on the picket lines here in LA. right now the funds they have will not last through the end of the summer, especially given the current and upcoming heatwaves necessitating more supplies. if you have a couple of dollars to spare it's a great way to directly support the writers (and potentially the actors) during this difficult time!

graphic design is my passion and seeing staff's newest expression of their passion for graphic design inspired me to make a dash layout of my own! :)

#after all this time... #tumblr gold is real

Hi folks. There seems to be a lot of confusion about what we as fans can and can't do with the striking happening. So I made a flowchart.

Let me make this SUPER DUPER EXTRA CLEAR. Unless an AMPTP studio reaches out and says "We would like to give you X (money/swag/whatever) to create content for us" (that would include writing or acting in anyway on your part) you will NOT be crossing a picket line.

Cosplay, fanart, fanfic, going feral, sharing marketing posts, watching your favorite show, getting your friends to watch your favorite show, etc does not count.

It is ONLY scabbing if you are getting REIMBURSED by the STUDIO.

Please take this flowchart, repost it, spread it everywhere!

The studios benefit from us being confused. The studios benefit from us not promoting and not watching and cancelling our subscriptions. The unions, the actors, the writers, they all benefit from us promoting in their absence, they get paid when we watch the shows, we bolster their argument when we boost the shows numbers. If we make the media popular and successful the studios have to meet the writers and actors at the table, and the writers and actors will be in the position of power.

the way these strikes get framed is always so funny to me

"the strike could stretch on until the end of summer" or the execs could pay their workers

"there won't be ANY new shows because of this strike" or the execs could pay their workers

"no more content for us because the mean old writers and actors are-" OR THE EXECS COULD PAY THEIR WORKERS

Oh and that fucking crab day post sends shivers down my spine btw. I say this as someone who owns multiple pieces of tumblr merch — support them if you want, or don’t, I don’t care, but we are NOT turning a tech corporation into our poor little wet meow meow who deserves all our money uwu. We are NOT pressuring normal ass people into donating to resolve a company’s millions in debt as if it’s some important charitable cause.

#espespesp with how staff continually ignores important user feedback #im talking about the photosensitive ad tagging and shit here btw not the layout

[saccharanth]

you want to help stop tumblr from murdering itself? here's how!

click this link and go to the support page, then click "contact support"

click on the category list and click on feedback

now you need to tell staff WHY putting in an algorithm will cause the site to fucking die, and be sure to be detailed and not a dick in it. theyre not gonna listen to feedback calling them assholes

viola, if @staff listens, we'll be fine

i encourage you to reblog this so we can get as many people leaving feedback as humanly possible. we need to let staff know this is an utterly terrible idea

#seems useful right about now #this site has a lot of issues and ignoring the features that brought users to it in the first place (being a blogging platform) #and trying to clone as many other social media sites as possible instead is definitely one of them #along with ignoring user feedback #etc etc

[saccharanth]

What's ur take on staff actively ruining the site???

I was trying to stay positive about the changes but things are looking bleak, tumblrinas

[saccharanth]

what did they do to my beautiful tumblr im so sad.this is making my head hurt to look at . ):

#i think even just having the sidebar as icons rather than written out in that weirdly small font would do wonders for how cluttered it looks #like yes whatever the old design didn't take advantage of the desktop space well blah blah blah #BUT YOU'RE SAYING THIS ONE DOES????? #anyways 0/10 makes my skin crawl
