letting celebrities think they can and should "use their platform" to speak on all current events and political issues regardless of how educated they are on them was a grave mistake

#i honestly think that's why half of these celebrities are just sharing around these same few wishy washy unhelpful statements #at this point it's a relief when i open an instagram story and it's just a celebrity posting about their regular stuff #like good thank you feel free to just be quiet #or just share some fundraising links if you feel a need to be helpful #but like ultimately if you have a platform of many thousands/millions #then frankly it is your responsibility to make sure what you are sharing is accurate and useful #and not just posting for the sake of posting #but instead somehow we're at the point where the more followers you have the more you are expected to just post something anything #talking

I am going insane about these stoats

(my insta is @trisideseye and that's where I mostly post art. I'm purely posting here bc @quiddie is active on here and I need aabria to know, personally ,how fucked up I am about these stoats)

#burrows end #burrows end spoilers #burrows end tula #tula burrows end #brennan lee mulligan #aabria iyengar #i. abandoned tumblr. i am trying to not use tumblr for any more than following people. i used to post here but i gave up bc i got annoyed #im in physical pain. every ounce of me doesnt want to post my cool art on fuckung tumblr. #tumblr CANNOT be my main social again. I need to give my socials to EMPLOYERS. i want to make art for a JOB #but there are more dimension 20 bitches on tumblr than insta bc its the mentally ill platform #and i need. peiple to understand how fycked up i am abt this stoat mom. #im insane. im insane. im insane. im biting this piece of media im the jugular like i myself am a stoat #and i cant SAY that on instagram the EMPLOYERS will have my ass!!!!!! #anyways. #dimension 20

#yeah i'm not dead woo let's celebrate #my art #kuroshitsuji #kuroshitsuji fanart #black butler #black butler fanart #grelle sutcliff #grell sutcliff #anyway i didn't draw SHIT for a good while and when i got back to it i suddenly hated using the flat marker brush??? #it's part of what makes my signature distinctive so i used it for that but yeah i switched brushes #oddly enough i'm not hating the more textured look? it gets very pixelated at times but it's not awful #back to the signature- it felt weirdly nice to sign things again #i haven't in a while #if you're one of the very few people who also follow me on instagram you'll know i don't use it on there #and the only art i've been doing these days has been original work so yeah nothing on tumblr #and thus the words 'brain exhaustion god stan' have not been written by this comically large hand in a hot minute #enough rambling this is just grelle art because i love her and i know y'all love her too so i thought it would be a nice comeback piece

I… do not understand tumblr live. Like, are there actually only about 50 people streaming across the whole platform at any one time? And why are so many of them just… people smoking? Or unoccupied desks? And why is nobody talking about frogs?

#live #tumblr live #it occurs to me that the reason there are so few streamers is that I am in the wrong timezone #but honestly even off-peak 50 streamers is embarrassing numbers #look I might do an AMA sometime #but there is a very low chance that it will be on tumblr live #so far most livestreaming I've done has been on facebook and/or instagram #but those platforms both really suck for it #so I am not sure which platform I will use #suggestions are welcome #I have also dabbled with youtube #and once tried twitch #might try tiktok sometime #but it's not great on all these platforms without existing follower counts #these are the ramblings of a tumblr old #his continuing mission: #to teach you about strange and wonderful animals #to seek out new frog lovers and teach them fun facts #to try to understand why tumblr is worse than before

#artists on tumblr #back on my bs #overly detailed rooms is what i keep going back to #my weird comfort zone #kinda nervous about the state of twitter #thanks to the view count can see that people don't even see my posts right now as much as they used to #if people don't like my art that's fine #but if my followers don't get to even see my art #that sucks #what is the follow button even for if it won't show you posts from that person #maybe i really need to try to venture into... shudder... instagram again

Grow in followers? Grow in fame?

Sir, this is tumblr.

We don't grow, we fester.

#tumblr #meme #spongebob meme #spongebob #a irl friend of mine asked me on which app i use more facebook or instagram #i said tumblr #she asked if you can get popular quickly there and 'grow your following' #it sounded a bit like a cult #wait maybe this DOES fit tumblr...

my once in a blue moon process video i actually like (for this). also a steps breakdown so i can try to mitigate the death of actual useful information that i think the short form video format has been ushering in

#follow me on tiktok?!!! idk what side im standing on with this internet content format apocalypse #who cares #i used to make these videos so instagram would give me money and now i dont know why im doing it #process

[petricorah]

literally all day ive been buzzing w excitement to go home and finish drawing sokka. current wip of him is my fave

#have a forty minute bus ride to just think abt it. #speaking of. the bus put this ad over the windows #like it's tinted so you can see out but not well #come on!!! i wanna see the world. the sky. but no. you gotta plaster some add so even yhough i can't even see it it's stopping me #me @ myself: so when you go home you're actually gonna draw #right? and not just watch tv? right? #i will continue to use the text post function of this app like its an instagram story bc no one follows me there but here you're Stuck #i guess you're not stuck you could quite easily unfollow but eh. cahhm onn

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

#neutral is like. shrug. if you have nothing better to do / would put it on as background noise. or plain dont care either way! #but yeah im... poking streaming with a stick rn #im doing some research... based on the results of this poll ill make another wondering about preferred platforms #cause ive done streaming before. Technically #when i was active on instagram and they rolled out the live option id sometimes do a lil art stream #on my phone and a tripod #But! this time around id actually go get a mic and use a legit platform #probably either twitch or picarto... maybe youtube... but who knows! #who knows if i'll follow through with this at all! id like to! i remember enjoying streams! #it sounds like fun! #and i think it would be cool to show the Process - as slapdash as it is #absolutely unprompted #there are a lot of different things i could do on streams i think #could do streams were i focus on one project. request streams. commish streams. just chill draw session streams #streams where we all try something new Together... working on skills! #something to consider!

hellos film enthusiasts, until the 31st of this month you can watch 15 kurdish films here, online with english subs, for free! have fun <3

a personal recommendation of mine, that i had watched a while ago during another kurdish film festival: love in the face of genocide

#and shoutout to loml mizgin for reminding me 🥰 #i had seen the zagros film festival on instagram bc i follow a number of kurdish pages and kurdish film festival accounts #but i had fully forgotten especially since i had been abstaining from insta for ramadan #but yeaaaaaahhhh you got 10/11 days left!!!! use it #nesi rants #kurdish #i have also seen azad which is available. a short lovely heartbreaking movie. cant speak on the rest

rlly struggling lately to make art, almost feeling a fear surrounding it that of course is directly connected to “internet success” like deep down that kind of thing does not matter does not fulfill my soul etc but of course feels so important for my career.. but how important can it be if it prevents me from doing any real creating or searching exploring experimenting etc… almost like the fear of disappointing others only leads to me disappointing myself. Or whatever. and obviously the answer is to stop looking at instagram lol

#rolling my eyes at myself #especially instagram has disconnected me so much from what I want to make / the voice I used to have in my art #like I feel like I can’t post about gender bc last time I did people who followed me who don’t kno I’m trans said terrible shit to me <3 #I know none of it matters at the end of the day I need to listen to my insides . but my insides have learned how to be quiet … :/// #personal

i hate suggested/for you pages so much.... i feel like the act of following a person/account went from meaning you want to see more of that person's specific stuff (active, direct) to meaning you want to get shown more stuff that is potentially similar to them (passive, random?), as determined by the ever changing black box algorithm. when it is all just "content", the artist/individual is rendered disposable and forgettable as they are only a means to an end for things like viewcounts and targeted advertising and never ending scrolling to make sure you (the piggy bank) keep that app open.

#trying to actually use instagram for once and i followed a bunch of people and #my entire main feed/timeline is random accounts unrelated to who i just followed #and i even tried 'snoozing suggested content' and it STILL showed me suggested content #trb.txt #UGH
