Yall can be edgy and talk about how much you hate tumblr all you want but I will be real chief I value my undeserved clout on here and its also the only place that shoots all my niche interests directly into my brain at the speed of light
The idea behind Tumblr, namely the dashboard, how posts and reblogs work (kinda like mini-threads that stream endlessly onto your dash), and the tagging system, is actually superb and I have yet to find another social media site on par with this format. Hence why we all stay here.
But then there’s also the incompetent staff and the extreme cultural madness of the website, hence why we hate it despite staying.
I love that folks will look at a homeless person w a dog and performatively feel sorry 4 the dog and start bitching like there isnt a miserable, hungry, suffering person in front of them. If ppl gave the dude one of them empty houses in town or in the burbs n some food money u wouldnt have 2 see them or their dog on yr drive to yr office job jst sayin jst throwin that out there, like the infrastructure n the resources r already there.
If u dnt like seeing homeless ppl, give em houses, y’know? Shit really pisses me off
honestly like seeing ppl say “homeless people shouldnt be allowed to have dogs” is so fucking disconcerting because theyre fucking people and if u dont think that those are suitable living conditions for an animal and that we should socially enforce not allowing people to keep animals in those conditions then why the FUCK are you not concerned that people are forced to live in those conditions
And the same people don’t blink over stray animals, it’s just when a homeless person is *taking care of that animal*. They’d rather the animal not have someone look out for them at all in any way than be cared for by someone who’s too poor for their taste.
I spent the afternoon arranging our books by size and color (and it’s so satisfying and looks amazing) and my partner came home and stared in shock at the bookcase and then said “i’m a librarian, you can’t do this.”
him: you split up all the song of ice and fire books
me: yeah i know, they’re all primary colors, it’s perfect
him: [self-destructs]
You’re a monster
As a former bookstore employee, this hurts my soul. I mean, sure it looks nice, but how do you find anything?
it has occurred me during this process that apparently not everyone thinks about books by what color they are? like, literally when i’m looking for a book, i picture it in my mind. i have a very…tactile experience with the books i read and idk! i thought everyone did that lol.
my partner was like “how will i find [this book] for instance” and i replied “easy, it’s purple” and he looked at me like i was a witch.
i dont like how it looked back at me while it was shaking its ass
imagine Humans sending this on exploratory probes of distant planets and extraterrestrials making contact with this as their first introduction to our species
