in general I would not hesitate to describe tumblr as a website that both attracts and cultivates an extremely emotionally immature userbase (it is absolutely not better than twitter in this regard lol) but people's attitude about the site itself and feature requests/updates, specifically this unchecked tendency to take out their frustration on random employees, is like off-the-wall entitled nutso shit. it really should not surprise me at this point but every time I see it I'm like legit shocked that people feel emboldened to behave like that just because there's a level of digital abstraction between them and the employee they're blowing up on.
this website is not a public commons, this website is not some natural property of the universe, this website is a privately-held company. it's run like a company. it's a company that offers a service that most people use without paying a cent (especially if you're using an ad blocker, which means you're not even generating ad revenue). like most social media sites, tumblr does primarily exist to turn a profit—and understanding that profit motive genuinely goes a long way towards understanding why certain things shake out the way they do in the land of web development—but I feel like tumblr is unique among social media platforms in that it's not actively hostile to its users and isn't headed by a billionaire manchild egomaniac.
the internet in general is not an ethereal magic box where your complaints go in and cool new features come out. I feel compelled to once again return to my rant about how the internet is built on nearly-invisible labor (much of that being unpaid or underpaid labor), and while tumblr falls into the category of paid labor, it still relies on real human people who have to physically make and maintain and deliver the product you use every day.
there is no coherent way to, to use a common example of something tumblr users do understand about digital labor, push back against crunch in the game dev industry and advocate for better working conditions for the workers whose games you're buying and then turn around and verbally harass random IC-level employees at a social media site that you use every day for free. this is totally fucking deranged behavior. you should know better than to yell at a call center rep about your insurance premium going up and you should know better than to yell at a random employee because you don't like a policy that their boss's boss's boss implemented. please demonstrate a shred of understanding for your fellow man and act like an adult.
and yeah, there's always room for improvement. I think tumblr's capacity for genuine improvement, especially in recent years, is another thing that makes it unique. the pitfalls that tumblr does suffer from are more or less universal pitfalls suffered by every other social media site (e.g., content moderation is an endless, labor-intensive game of whack-a-mole played by underfunded and overworked support agents).
personally I'm just grateful to have been using a website like this for so long without ever being compelled to subscribe to a paid service, and with a core experience that's remained unchanged for over a decade. this is one of the last remaining places online where you aren't bombarded by shitty reels and trending topics and mandatory "best posts first" timelines.

ive been seeing the screenshots, the texts and what the actual fuck happened??
This is getting so fucking out of hand. Its not an opinion anymore, ITS RACISM.
Dana and Terrence do not deserve any of this and actually, neither do Havan and Luca.
If they know whats going on, i bet that both Havan and Luca are extremely embarassed, especially when they are the two people who ALWAYS say that BAPA. ARE. JUST. FRIENDS.
This ship its honetly disgusting, since both of the actors feel uncomfortable with it, and the people who ship them, are even worse.
Be kind, and spread nothing but love.
ps: if somethings spelled wrong, im sorry, i literally just woke up

How to stop people from using AI
0 - DON'T BE A DICK.
Being unnecessarily mean, rude, or prickish towards the individual will cause them to retreat from the conversation and not listen to anything you have to say. You will become an example that the so-called 'AI bros' use to further their cases.
And have some nuance about you.
Now that's out of the way and you're prepared to have a nice conversation,
1 - Ask them why they use AI.
Just ask. Put it nicely, and politely.
Some people lack certain skills, some people find navigating the maze of hiring people with those skills whilst they're a broke student with a budget of zero to be impossible.
If you're kind in how you ask, you should be able to get an answer.
2 - Offer to help them learn the skill / navigate the hiring landscape if the specific task is impossible for them.
You have the why, now your primed to help them. What can you do so that their reason is no more? Be their guide.
They're using AI generated images as a final product instead of a tool because they can't draw a certain thing? Offer to help them learn to draw, even if it's just pointing them towards relevant tutorials or just egging them on with a "You know how the thing you want drawing works and AI's don't, so it'll look better and actually functional if you draw it yourself".
If they're using AI voices, introduce them to the old techniques of YTP (splicing audio and stitching it back together) or offer to help them navigate the landscape of hiring a VA.
They're using AI to write? Let them know that even if their grammar is bad and they can only manage an outline, what they make by hand will be infinitely more consistent and engaging than what an AI can pump out. (This one works especially well if you checked out those AI writing sites to see what all the fuss was about, shoved a plot bunny of yours in to see what'll happen, and therefore have experienced first hand that the AI has the memory of a goldfish, can't push a plot, and so the only thing the AI writing site really IS good for is 'vs chat take over a zoo' type gimmick shenanigans)
Be a guiding hand amongst the fists and you will find that you'll not only be listened to, but you might get a new friend as well.
3 - Congrats! If you did it right and didn't fuck it up, you've just converted a so-called 'AI bro' to the side of human arts.
If you just be nice and extend a hand and say "hey, I can help you not use AI as a crutch" instead of lambasting them forever over something that's probably trivial, then we can turn people back to the human arts through ACTUALY THE POWER OF KINDNESS AND FRIENDSHIP AND THAT'S NOT EVEN A JOKE.

I’m taking away the phrase performative activism until people stop using it to describe enthusiastic lgbtq+ Allies instead of people who make token statements about support and then do things contrary to those statements. THAT is performative activism, not twitters arbitrary judgement of how sincere someone is

I keep having to tear down extremely predatory/misleading Scien.tology flyers in my school's art building. This is the third fucking time I've ripped the fuckers up and I'm getting Real Fucking Tired of it.

Cw: Transphobia, Pissed off britt, JKR supporter (how do these people still exist?)
I probably should keep my mouth shut. But if you know me even a little bit, you'd know that staying quiet isn't my strongest point. So here I am. Because I've got shit to say.
A mutual of mine got a very weird and mean anonymous ask earlier today (or tonight. I only saw it this morning.) They handled it extremely well, so I will not be responding towards most of the bullshit they got sent.
However; I do want to talk about a certain thing in the ask.
"JKR is right about everything and I love that everyone except [slur] and gender specialists support her"
I think if you'd look around the Harry Potter fandom, you'd find very few people that actually agree with everything the author says. We don't like her. Not even a little bit.
So to any queer/neurodivergent/disabled person reading this:
I see you.
I hear you.
I love you.
You're not alone.
You're allowed to feel hurt by Her words.
