I expected nothing from Bridgerton s3 but it is already disappointing me.
In which world, I ask, would Eloise befriend Cressida Cowper?
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for Eloise evolving from her "not like other girls" fase, and Cressida could have an compelling storyline if they decided to explore her character (and if Sophie will be her half-sister like I think she will, then introducing Eloise in that mess would be *chef kiss*)
But—
I don't think that's the case. They probably just want to find a way to make Penelope look like a good person in comparison, because how dare Eloise question her very questionable actions. Don't Eloise knows that she is just a poor ugly duckling and therefore she is allowed invade other people's privacity and monetize it? These people deserve to suffer because they are *check notes* beautiful and popular!
(I wanted Penelope to go full villain so bad. Really powerful and badass. I know this is a romance yada yada but what it's the point of her being doing these morally objectionable things if at the end she will not even be a bad ass society's queen, living the way she wants with all her money and admirers, like a Lady Danbury 2.0 at the end of her semi-redemption arc. AM I ASKING TOO MUCH?)
If at least the polin content was engaging... But it isn't. They're just whatever. When they released the s2 trailer I was "pacing in my room dreaming of kathony scenarios" crazy untill the damn season was released (and you can bet I INHALED these epsodes then), but polin feels repetitive.
Oh, yes, and there is the matter Genevieve being Penelope's sidekick now. Unless they'll give something more to do besides listening to the poor rich girl's troubles, I will show up at Shonda's doorsteps.
But Ben is still this lovable idiot, there's kathony content and I'm curious about what they will be doing with Mondrich and Francesca, so I'll be watching it anyway.

Dom looks at Gen with a smirk. "It's Sinday, you know what that means?" He purred. (dominicmagne)
"Noooo..." Gen squeaks and hides her pink face- her cheeks now flushed a very bright red in her hands shyly. Poor bat couldn't handle her boyfriends attractive smirk without bursting into metaphorical flames.

Extremists Find a Financial Lifeline on Twitch Terpsichore Maras-Lindeman, a podcaster who fought to overturn the 2020 presidential election, recently railed against mask mandates to her 4,000 fans in a live broadcast and encouraged them to enter stores maskless. On another day, she grew emotional while thanking them for sending her $84,000. Millie Weaver, a former correspondent for the conspiracy theory website Infowars, speculated on her channel that coronavirus vaccines could be used to surveil people. Later, she plugged her merchandise store, where she sells $30 “Drain the Swamp” T-shirts and hats promoting conspiracies. And a podcaster who goes by Zak Paine or Redpill78, who pushes the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory, urged his viewers to donate to the congressional campaign of an Ohio man who has said he attended the “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington on Jan. 6. All three spread their messages on Twitch, a livestreaming video site owned by Amazon that has become a new mainstream base of operations for many far-right influencers. Streamers like them turned to the site after Facebook, YouTube and other social media platforms clamped down on misinformation and hate speech ahead of the 2020 election. Twitch comes with a bonus: The service makes it easy for streamers to make money, providing a financial lifeline just as their access to the largest online platforms has narrowed. The site is one of the avenues, along with apps like Google Podcasts, where far-right influencers have scattered as their options for spreading falsehoods have dwindled. Twitch became a multibillion-dollar business thanks to video gamers broadcasting their play of games like Fortnite and Call of Duty. Fans, many of whom are young men, pay the gamers by subscribing to their channels or donating money. Streamers earn even more by sending their fans to outside sites to either buy merchandise or donate money. Now Twitch has also become a place where right-wing personalities spread election and vaccine conspiracy theories, often without playing any video games. It is part of a shift at the platform, where streamers have branched out from games into fitness, cooking, fishing and other lifestyle topics in recent years. But unlike fringe livestreaming sites like Dlive and Trovo, which have also offered far-right personalities moneymaking opportunities, Twitch attracts far larger audiences. On average, 30 million people visit the site each day, the platform said. Twitch “monetizes the propaganda, which is unique,” said Megan Squire, a computer science professor at Elon University who tracks extremists online. She said it was as though listeners of the conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, who died in February, were donating in real time and chipping in greater sums whenever Mr. Limbaugh shared more controversial ideas. “You can turn the dial up and down and turn the flow of money up and down by saying certain things on your stream,” Ms. Squire said. At least 20 channels associated with far-right movements have started broadcasting on Twitch since the fall, according to data compiled by Genevieve Oh, a livestreaming analyst. Some are associated with QAnon, the false theory that former President Donald J. Trump is fighting a cabal of Democratic pedophiles. The channels range from intermittent broadcasters with several hundred views to ones that go live nearly every day and attract thousands of viewers. In a statement, Sara Clemens, Twitch’s chief operating officer, said QAnon users were only a “small handful” of the seven million people who streamed on the site each month. “We will take action against users that violate our community policies against harmful content that encourages or incites self-destructive behavior, harassment, or attempts or threatens to physically harm others, including through misinformation,” she said. Twitch viewers support streamers through monthly subscriptions of $5, $10 or $25 to their channels, or by donating “bits,” a Twitch currency that can be converted to real money. The site also runs advertisements during streams. The platform and streamers split the revenue from ads and subscriptions. It is difficult to determine how much money individual streamers earn from their Twitch channels, but some of the far-right personalities have made many thousands of dollars. By viewing chat logs of streams that denote when a new user has subscribed, Ms. Oh has tallied at least $26,000 in subscriptions for Ms. Maras-Lindeman since December and about $5,000 in “bit” donations before Twitch took its cut. Ms. Weaver has earned nearly $3,000 since she began streaming regularly on Twitch in March, according to Ms. Oh’s tally, and Mr. Paine has made at least $5,000. Those numbers do not account for money made in other ways, such as through Square’s Cash App or Ms. Weaver’s online merchandise store. Twitch generally has stricter rules than other social media platforms for the kinds of views that users can express. It temporarily suspended Mr. Trump’s account for “hateful conduct” last summer, months before Facebook and Twitter made similar moves. Its community guidelines prohibit hateful conduct and harassment. Ms. Clemens said Twitch was developing a misinformation policy. This month, Twitch announced a policy that would allow it to suspend the accounts of people who committed crimes or severe offenses in real life or on other social media platforms, including violent extremism or membership in a known hate group. Twitch said it did not consider QAnon to be a hate group. Despite all this, a Twitch channel belonging to Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys, a white nationalist organization, remained online until the middle of this month after The New York Times inquired about it. And the white nationalist Anthime Joseph Gionet, known as Baked Alaska, had a Twitch channel for months, even though he was arrested in January by the F.B.I. and accused of illegally storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Twitch initially said his activities had not violated the platform’s policies, then barred him this month for hateful conduct. Ms. Maras-Lindeman and Mr. Paine are Twitch Partners, a coveted status that grants improved customer support and greater options to customize streams. Twitch vets these channels to approve what they do. The company’s website says partners should “act as role models to the community.” Ms. Maras-Lindeman, who is barred from Twitter, averaged about 3,000 viewers a broadcast in March, and her live video broadcast quickly became one of the 1,200 most popular channels across all of Twitch. Her streams are often akin to extended monologues about current events. Sometimes, the “O” in her “ToreSays” username is replaced with a fiery “Q,” and she uses the slogan “Where we go one, we go all,” both symbols of the QAnon movement. She has encouraged her viewers to find legal avenues to throw Ohio legislators out of office because, she said, they were elected using illegitimate voting machines. “You want a great reset? Here it is. We’re going to do it our way, and that’s by eliminating you,” she said during one January stream. Aside from money made on Twitch, Ms. Maras-Lindeman’s fans donated more than $84,000 for her birthday through a GoFundMe campaign. She said the donations went toward a new car, medical treatments and a lawyer. In an email, Ms. Maras-Lindeman disputed the characterization of her as a member of the far right and said she did not advocate violence. “It is not a crime to discuss science and challenge popular current narratives or express my thoughts and opinions,” she said. On a recent stream, Ms. Maras-Lindeman addressed questions emailed to her for this article. She said she was a “centrist” who was simply encouraging her viewers to become more politically active. Mr. Paine’s channel has more than 14,000 followers and is rife with conspiracy theories about vaccines and cancer. In one stream, he and a guest encouraged viewers to drink a bleach solution that claims to cure cancer, which the Food and Drug Administration has said is dangerous. Last week, he referred to a QAnon belief that people are killing children to “harvest” a chemical compound from them, then talked about a “criminal cabal” controlling the government, saying people do not understand “what plane of existence they come from.” Mr. Paine, who is barred from Twitter and YouTube, has also asked his Twitch audience to donate to the House campaign of J.R. Majewski, an Air Force veteran in Toledo, Ohio, who attracted attention last year for painting his lawn to look like a Trump campaign banner. Mr. Majewski has used QAnon hashtags but distanced himself from the movement in an interview with his local newspaper, The Toledo Blade. Mr. Majewski has appeared on Mr. Paine’s streams, where they vape, chat about Mr. Majewski’s campaign goals and take calls from listeners. “He is exactly the type of person that we need to get in Washington, D.C., so that we can supplant these evil cabal criminal actors and actually run our own country,” Mr. Paine said on one stream. Neither Mr. Paine nor Mr. Majewski responded to a request for comment. Joan Donovan, a Harvard University researcher who studies disinformation and online extremism, said streamers who rely on their audience’s generosity to fund themselves felt pressured to continue raising the stakes. “The incentive to lie, cheat, steal, hoax and scam is very high when the cash is easy to acquire,” she said.

7 Richest Actresses in Nigeria (Photos)
That Nollywood money. For so many, becoming a Nollywood star is a dream. They look up to their favorite actors and actresses and say to themselves "I can do that" but when they get to those sets, they see that 1.) The act of acting itself especially in front of a camera and on a professional set is difficult, and 2.) Acting by itself especially for an up and coming actor or actress doesn't pay as much as they think. In fact, if you want to know what the realities of an up and coming actor in Nigeria looks like (and note: these actors are even moderately popular, talk less of the ones no one knows yet), then watch the documentary series Being in Nollywood available on IrokoTV. You'll see very quickly that Nollywood money isn't what you think AT ALL. So then, how did the actresses on this list get as rich and successful as they did? Well, stick around and I'm going to tell you about each one. This list is not ranked meaning that although the list will be numbered, it is not from top to bottom or bottom to top, there is no specific order because last last, none of us actually know how much any of these actresses actually have inside their bank accounts. Are you ready to jump into this list and find out who the richest Nollywood actresses are? Alright then, let's go! **Be sure to like and follow my Facebook page so you don't miss out on any new and interesting stories, lists, and articles that I post every single day. I run a really fun page. If you like it, you will have fun to. So what are you waiting for? Like this page and join in on the fun! 7. Omoni Oboli
Tumblr media
Omoni Oboli is a hardworker. As we've already discussed, being only an actress won't give you the kind of money that Omoni Oboli has, you have to aspire for more. And that is what Omoni Oboli did. After spending some time in the earlier years having her first stint in acting, the actress actually went away for quite some time. In that time though, she wasn't idle. She worked hard. She went to the New York Film Academy and studied digital film-making. When she came back, she started out once acting easing her way back into Nollywood but once her feet were finally firmly on the ground, she took it up to where the real money is and started producing her own movies. Earlier in 2002, Omoni and her husband Nnamdi, created Dioni Visions Entertainment, a multifaceted company with entertainment at its core. A production company. This became pivotal to the success that Omoni has now because as soon as she got strong footing in Nollywood, she started making her own movies. In 2014, she produced and directed her first movie, Being Mrs Elliott. Following that she went on to produce blockbuster after blockbuster including The First Lady, Wives on Strike, Okafor's Law, and more. Because Omoni Oboli is the director AND producer of these movies, she collects majority share of the revenue the money makes, way more than she would ordinarily be collecting if she was only an actress. Thank God for her, her moveis also sell BIG. Her 2016 movie, Okafor's Law made N89,740,576 in the box office, Wives on Strike made N71,300,000 and 2018's Moms At War made N65,000,000. Remember, Omoni takes majority share on all of these movies so let your math tell you how much Omoni is raking in. In addition to all of this, Omoni is also a published author. She is is the owner and brand ambassador of ageless by Omoni 3D mink lashes. She is one of the brand ambassadors of Pedini Nigeria. Nunu Milk endorsed her as one of its brand ambassadors, and she is an ambassador of Royal Caribbean Nigeria. Omoni Oboli is GET-TI-NG PAID!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
6. Chika Ike
Tumblr media
Chika Ike is another actress who isn't just an actress alone. Like, Omoni Oboli, Chika made the smart decision to actually go into producing her own movies in order to earn majority share on them. However, although Chika's movies haven't reached the level of success that Omoni Oboli's have reached, it doesn't mean that she's still not making bank. In fact, her 2020 release through her production company Flip Script Entertainment, Small Chops made N24,924,700 and as of the time of writing this article is the 58th highest grossing Nigerian film. Through her production company, she has also been able to produce other movies including Miss Teacher, Happy Ending, and Stuck on You, all of which are now housed on IrokoTV (who of course paid Chika for these movies). She also had the African Diva Reality Show which was free to view on Youtube. The videos were monetized and the channel has amassed 400,003 views as of the time of writing this article. According to this Youtube Views to Money calculator, it means that Chika made an estimated $$1,600 which isn't great, but isn't too bad also. That's almost N600,000. She is also a UN Ambassador, author, Bullet Energy Drink Ambassador, and CEO of Fancy Nancy Collections, a fashion store which deals in female clothes and accessories. Chika in her book also said that she's into real estate and this is one hustle she says that gives her a whole lot of money.

5. Mercy Johnson-Okojie
Tumblr media
Mercy Johnson-Okojie's major thing in Nollywood is acting. She didn't delve into movie production until 2020 when under Wale Adenuga Productions, she produced her very first movie titled The Legend of Inikpi. The movie went on to make N29,955,335 and because Mercy is credit as a producer, got a higher share on this movie than she would normally get only acting. Yes, Mercy hasn't been as actively acting as she did in the early days of her career. No, it doesn't mean that she's still not on the scene. The actress is a host on her TV show, Mercy's Menu. She currently acts as an ambassador to Mr Chef Salt and Household manufacturing giant, Virony. She is also currently the appointed Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on entertainment, arts and culture to Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State. One of her major sources of income is Mercy Magic, a weight loss tea that sells a whole lot. At any given moment, the site is usually sold out and the teas are not cheap either, ranging from N10,000 to N30,000 per pack. One way or another, Mercy Johnson is getting paid.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
**Don't forget to like my page. Never miss out on the fun. 4. Mary Njoku
Tumblr media
Mary Njoku's major source of income is undoubtedly IrokoTV. Her husband, Jason Njoku founded the Nigerian streaming platform and since then, Mary has assumed the role of chief content officer of IROKO Partners. In addition, she is the director general of ROK Film Studios, a Nigerian film production company that makes a lot of the content that's on IrokoTV. In 2019, French television company Canal+ has acquired the ROK film studio from VOD company IROKOtv for an undisclosed amount. Canal+ Chief Content Officer Fabrice Faux speaking on the phone with TechCrunch said: We are acquiring the talent of Mary. We will provide administrative support, finance and equipment, but otherwise it is our intention to give Mary maximum autonomy and creative freedom. According to their report, Mary had produced more than 540 movies and 25 original TV series for ROK as of 2019. This is what her husband, Jason, had to say about the sale of IrokoTV and Mary now earning more than him: Whereas I can’t disclose the number due to sensibilities in France for Vivendi Canal Plus, it was, at least to my knowledge, easily the largest media transaction / deal in West Africa history and possibly Africa (outside of SA). Mrs Njoku didn’t sell her shares, Vivendi Canal Plus acquired IROKO Ltd shares in the ROK Group, so she retains her stake. This is a fantastic exit and considering ROK was only 6-years old and required Wow! Talk about a hardworker. Mary Njoku is doing IT.

3. Genevieve Nnaji
Tumblr media
Genevieve Nnaji is now on a different path. When she first started out in the industry, she was just an actress with a simple wish and desire to do her passion: act. Now that dream is bigger and Genevieve is going for the whole pie. Around 2015, Genevieve quietly created her own production company, The Entertainment Network (TEN). Through this company, she has produced 2 movies: the first one, Road to Yesterday went on to gross N30,000,700 becoming the 53rd highest grossing movie in Nigeria, and Lionheart which made N21,319,102 in the local box office run. Lionheart was also acquired by Netflix on 7 September 2018, making it the first Netflix original film produced in Nigeria. What does this mean you ask? It means that Genevieve got PAID! But that's not all for the actress. Although movies are a huge money maker for her, she also launched a clothing line called St. Genevieve in 2014. It was later relaunched in collaboration with Jumia, a Nigerian online retail store in 2016. That's not all. Genevieve also has a sizable investment in real estate. The actress has property in prestigious areas in Lagos, Abuja, and reportedly, even Ghana. Genevieve is very much AL-RIGHT.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
2. Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde
Tumblr media
The summary of Omotola's achievements is listed to you by Omotola herself as soon as you open her Instagram. Her Instagram bio reads: Dr Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, MFRActress,TEFFEST,Artistic Dir,Singer,UNwfp Amb,Amnesty Int activist,Oyep,Time100 Most Influential in the world,Academy Voting Member,Philanthropist Wow! Talk about a resume. This also very much sums it up but just to expand a little: Yes, Omotola is an Academy Voting Member meaning that she votes for the Oscars. In 2013, she was in fact honored in Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world alongside Michelle Obama, Beyoncé and Kate Middleton. She is an activist, ambassador, and everything she listed in her bio but her main source of income comes from 3 things: 1.) Acting. Omotola commands a high rate to act in her movies. She chooses what she acts in and she supplies her rate. If you can't afford it, good bye. 2.) Endorsements: Omotola is a brand ambassador for A LOT of companies including Scanfrost, Knorr, and Pampers. 3.) Real Estate: The actress if you follow her on social media is majorly now invested in property and real estate. This is a huge money maker so we're assuming that this is where Omotola is devoting a lot of her time right now. Yes we don't see Omotola on screen as much as we'd love to anymore, but rest assured that Omosexy is still very much getting her paper regardless.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
1. Funke Akindele-Bello
Tumblr media
A woman who makes the majority of her money simply from Nollywood which by the way is very very rare is none other than Jenifa herself, Funke Akindele-Bello. Why? Because she is a smart business woman. When Funke Akindele-Bello begun producing the Jenifa Diary's series specifically, it was a huge money maker for Nollywood streaming company, IrokoTV. Funke saw this and capitalized on the new streaming age. She created SceneOne TV, her own streaming network on which she still produces Jenifa's Diary amongst a host of other TV shows. You might not know this but Jenifa's Diary is a HUGE money maker for Funke Akindele, so is SceneOne TV. The subscription price is N600/month or N7,000/yr for individuals and N2,000/month and N20,000/yr for families. According to metrics, SceneOne.tv gets an average 113,630 visits per month. When you realize that SceneOne isn't a free website meaning that these visits are usually made by paying customers, then you can let the math start happening and you can understand why Funke Akindele doesn't plan on ending Jenifa's Diary anytime soon, and you can get an estimate of how much money she's making. It's a lot. Plus when you tie in her endorsement deals and partnerships with Lagos State Inland Revenue Service, Iroko TV, Vitafoam, Western Lotto, 1960 Bet, Keystone Bank, Amen Estate, and more, you can understand how Funke Akindele is actually a real life gbo gbo big girl!

famous artists ask: monet, klee, harring
Thank you so much for your questions!
Monet: Where would you take your significant other on a date? 
Oh man, I think it would depend on what I knew about their interests. If he gives me free reign… probably a specific museum show that had caught my interest that I hadn’t had the chance to go check out yet. Or some of the artsy bars/restaurants that I’ve found wandering around the city. Ultimately it depends on the vibe I get from them. 
Klee: in a library full of books, which five will you never get sick of rereading?
DEATHLESS. Oh man outside of that it’s quite hard. Deathless is the only one that’s printed on my soul at this point. THE BLOODY CHAMBER by Angela Carter. Maybe Palimpsest by Catherynne M. Valente, too? And The Girls at the Kingfisher Club by Genevieve Valentine, and maybe Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. That book haunted me all through college, but I always studied it in a new light. 
Harring: All-time favorite band? Movie? Painting?
Florence + The Machine, Inception or The Fugitive, Ivan Aivazovsky’s Among the Waves (but it changes sometimes. Almost always its a work by Aivazovsky).

SHOULD I START MY BUSINESS?
Running a business can be scary business. The goals to running a business takes time, education, work, dedication, & passion. One thing I can say is many of times I haven’t had many mentors to provide the go to in particular areas I needed mentoring in.
The few that I have had, are truly amazing- Thanks Lorrie, Lovoice, & Zanteal.
For the most part, the walk at times, has been long, arduous, and solo. 
Many of times I could have given up. There were plenty of times I wanted too.
However, at the beginning of my journey, to be a known Travel Blogger and Connoisseur of Travel- my idea was more of an unheard of dream…
Or was is it? Take Jessica Nabongo, for instance. Genevieve Shaw Brown with Good Morning America reports Nabongo is a world renowed Traveler who aims to travel and blog about her adventures in every country she visits.
Take, me..LaTonya White- #TVMATheTea…
I took aim to blog about my family & I adventures big and small. I’d been freelancing this for years, as a pure hobby. It was only recently, I decided to turn that hobby into a monetized hobby. Successfully, I’ve been able to turn the love of reading & writing, to becoming a Classroom Educator, to a Lead School Counselor, now this. If I never would have stepped out on faith, then I would not be where I am today.
Today, I’m literally coming out of the nerve-racking phase of the beginning of business building, to shifting in managing and running it.
Today:
I’ve sat side by side by V.I.P with Big Brands & Talked Travel
hired some folks
landed some pretty awesome Blogging gigs
and more
Shout out to Houston’s Blessed Beatz Radio   #SouthernGirlDeniece who is one of the host of the: Not So Christian In Me Show, as we talked Traveling on a Budget May 2019.

So should you or should you not start your business? To you future entrepreneur, I’d say:
“if you can dream it, do it…”
& the old proverb I live by, never gets old:
“IF GOD BRINGS YOU TO IT, He’ll bring you through it.”
  Gary Vee said it best: Ask Yourself: What do I want to do every day for the rest of my life?…
DO That…
When You Know Who You Are…Hustle Sexier…
Start Executing..Start Doing…”
-Gary Vee

I’m no Jessica Nabongo, but I’m well on my way.
I’m your Travel Agency Franchisee, Travel Blogger, Travel Pod-caster, Travel Connoisseur=  I am #TVMATheTea.

❤️+🖤 for Gen about Dom and then Helena about Cedric.
"Dominic, I think that you're just so sweet and kind. You make me feel so good about myself and treat me like I'm a person and not just an object to be oggled at." Gen smiles as her already pink face becomes a darker shade of pink.
Gen sighs to herself as she takes a moment to think over what could be said about Dom that was megative.
"Though I do find you to be exceptionally stubborn. And tend to keep things all locked up to yourself when you need to talk to someone about what you're feeling..."
_______
"Oh what's there not to like about you, Cedric?" Helena smiles widely. "You're fun and completely honest with me. Just a down-to-earth kind of person with truly astounding art skills! We get along like two peas in a pod!"
The princess giggles a bit and doesn't take but a moment to continue on with her answer.
"Though I have to admit you screaming like a little girl at horror games can be seen as a flaw, there isn't much to say negatively about you. Well, I do think your fear of spiders is a tad silly since you make me kill them every single time!

Hey Gen, how do you feel about all this talk on the daddy kink?
The bat stares wide eyed at the comment, her light pink complexion now a bright cherry red as she reads it over a few times. For a while she was rendered speechless, opening and closing her mouth as if she was trying to say something. Until she lets out an exasperated sigh. "........ No comment."

80s movie asks: the goonies, drugstore cowboy, dangerous liaisons, young guns
Oh Yay! Lots of meme asks!
the goonies: what was the last thing to make you laugh?
I was on the phone with my cousin and she was bickering with her boyfriend and asking me to take sides
drugstore cowboy: which historical figure most spikes your interest?
Anne of cleeves. She got a household and independence and no syphilis from Henry VIII
dangerous liaisons: which language would you most like to learn?
It's a toss up between ASL and German
young guns: what’s one style that you love on others, but would never try yourself?
A woman in a well tailored suit like Genevieve Lefoux or Janelle Monet

This is me signing off for the next day for the tumblr log off. I don't know if it will do any good, but it certainly won't do any harm. I don't blame any creator who wants to do post + but I do blame Tumblr.
