reblog to give the prev a hot chocolate with (optional) whipped cream and marshmallows
[Doesn't apply to Harry Potter fans, no hot chocolate for you. JKR is an irredeemable bigot]

best thing about uncle iroh is that if you pay attention he is actually just as much of an idiot as zuko but has just mastered the art of coming across as a wise old man. the even better thing is that zuko is the only one on the planet who somewhat realizes this and no one would ever believe him because he's zuko

To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:
A post in 2023:
A post in 2014:
A zoom out of the same post:
This is what a community looks like.
See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.
It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.
Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.
If you want more of something, reblog it.

reblog not for a “bigger sample size” but because polls like this are a fun way to help people reinforce their own self-concept and passing it along so that other people can also have the opportunity to strengthen their sense of self by pressing a button is a cool and nice thing to do

ramadan mubarak 💗 remember that palestinians are also going through ramadan amidst a genocide! if you are able, aim to focus your zakat on organisations like:
care for gaza (and their paypal here)
direct aid for gaza
gazaesims
palestinian children's relief fund

Apparently much-needed reminder that reposting artists' art (by saving the images or screenshotting them and reuploading them yourself) on other platforms without the artists' expressed permission and without credit is theft and an insult to their passion and craft. You are profiting (in views, in attention, in feedback) from someone else's work and ideas, who do not get that feedback for sharing their creation.
If you are an art reposter, you are a thief and I have no respect for you.

on twitter, a viral thread started where people around the world shared their translations of “If I must die”, the last work of Dr Refaat Alareer also known as "the voice of Gaza". A beloved poet, teacher and life-long activist for Palestine, he was recently assassinated along with members of his extended family by a targeted Israeli air strike. His loss leaves a hole in the heart of palestinians all over the world.
Below the cut, I’ll be posting the translations of his poem, with links to the original posts. Unfortunately, tumblr limits posts to a maximum of 30 images. I will update when I can.

might start up a public snapcube discord in the new year. i’m gonna be chipping away at building it and hopefully come up with something that’s comfortable for me.
i definitely get pretty envious of the way that running a public server can create a much more active and enthusiastic community space away from larger platforms like twitter. i’d love to be able to stop relying so much on twitter for visibility. but at the same time, i’ve tried the whole public server thing before and it definitely has its downsides i would need to be prepared for. it would need to be HEAVILY moderated and with plenty of safeguards that keep me personally just hands-off enough that i don’t feel like i need to be tied to it, as well as just generally keep it safe and positive for everyone.
i’m not gonna say it’s a 100% certainty but i wanted to talk about it and gauge interest somewhere i guess! i’d love to start doing things like community movie nights and have a more central place for people to share fanart and such. and if ultimately i decide yet again it’s just really not for me then that’s fine too! but i guess lemme know if that’s something yall would even be interested in!
edit: just to clarify, as i've gotten a couple responses suggesting this today... i already have a server behind a sub paywall haha. twitch subs have had access to a discord server for a long time now. and structuring it this way definitely has its upsides, but things have slowed down a ton (admittedly a lot of that is my own negligence) and no platform that is behind a paywall is going to have enough visibility to help me transition away from relying on twitter, which i've already explained is a huge inspiration for trying this again.
