just to be clear, I’m staying here as long as this site functions. I have 0 intentions of deleting this blog, I will go down with this ship if only to see exactly how bad it gets
I love how their post says “A better, more positive Tumblr” as if female nipples are what’s ruining the experience on this website and not bullies, racists, homophobes and actual nazis
Anyway the last point I have to make here is that even if tumblr breaks under the algorithm (almost certain if they don’t back out of using it) and/or everybody leaves… I don’t have anywhere else to go or post things
people like to joke about it being bad, but I legitimately really like Tumblr. it actually feels like a blogging platform in a world where facebook and twitter are active political weapons that manipulate us elections. i don’t feel like i’m baring myself to content i don’t want to see here, or having to engage with a popularity-focused culture. the content isn’t sorted to influence you or trick you. it’s a bunch of people being themselves on their own terms. it’s oldnet.
yes, i do use other websites, but i’m not interested in posting personal things to any of them. this was a place i had control over and i’ll stay with it until i can’t. and when that happens there’ll be nothing left.
Yeah, I joked that this was the last platform my mom didn’t follow me on, but it was definitely a place where I felt more open about certain things. I don’t know what else will offer that, which sucks.
Words can’t express how proud I am of him. Knowing his story about his tough childhood and how he continued pushing for his love of football. Look at him now, not only the best midfielder but best player in the world … I STAN GREATNESS!!
I just realised like. If the border guards were throwing tear gas over the border then they were deploying restricted chemical weapons on foreign territory
US agents deploy a restricted chemical weapon on the border. Articles say it was to stop them crossing. Meaning it was on the other side of the border.
Literally using weapons banned by the Geneva Convention against people legally seeking asylum is peak US fascism 2018 (as of this week, fuck.)
Taking unapproved military action on foreign soil is an act of war right? So the US failed to declare war before committing an act of war, attacked civilians (who are attempting to legally claim asylum), and did so with weapons illegal in war. That’s three war crimes by my count
