i didn’t understand the black eyed peas when i was a child but as an adult they’re a very fascinating group to me. the way will i am talks about partying and the club is like he’s relaying information he received from secondary sources

[blearybass]

you will live to witness manmade horrors that are completely within your comprehension if you've paid any attention to a single piece of human history but are nevertheless still huge bummers

(after getting attacked by a one-episode creature) whatever that was, it's gone now...

Thomas Lawrence: i want to (remembers suicide goes against catholicism) be the pope?

God: hits the loudest incorrect buzzer of all time

[blearybass]

i need a girl with a short skirt and a loooooong halberd

[blearybass]

and we scrolled all night on the best blog ever

[blearybass]

I kind of figured the switch 2 backlash existed solely on reddit and tumblr. People want their pokemons and their mario karts 🤷🏼‍♂️

I'd like to remember Pope Francis as the Pope who called a ton of priests faggots, apologized for it, then called them all faggots again

[blearybass]

i too would have given up and died if i were forced to meet with jd vance on easter. i get him.

[blearybass]

this can only be the work of a protestant assassin

[blearybass]

pope francis was a nasty little thottie and he just died making it clap on instagram

*trying to solve a friend's problem* hmmm. well you could use me as a blade, perhaps? and slay your enemies? just a thought

It's so over (got stranded on Mars) we're so back (I can grow food here) it's so over (we left a guy on Mars) we're so back (we've established communication) it's so over (the airlock exploded and the crops froze) we're so back (we've cut down the launch window for a resupply) it's so over (the probe exploded) we're so back (the space program in China has been working on their own probe that can launch in the correct window to get him supplies) it's so over (we didn't tell the hermes crew about a separate possible mission) we're so back (the hermes crew committed mutiny and are now on the way to save Watney) it's so over (we have to remove the front of his spacecraft to get him into space) we're so back (we can cover the hole with a tarp) it's so over (the tarp ripped off during launch and the distance between the hermes and the mav is too wide) we're so back (we can use remaining thruster fuel to course correct) it's so over (if we do this we'll be going too fast) we're so back (we can build a bomb and blow up part of the station to slow us down) it's so over (there's still too much distance between the Hermes and Watney) we're so back (he poked a hole in his suit and flew to us like iron man)

Given the very uncertain-looking future of Tumblr, you'd be wise to take a moment to start connecting with your friends, mutuals, etc. on other platforms if you haven't already. In light of the no information that we currently (04/09/25) have to work with wrt what precisely will happen and how soon, I think everyone should focus on doing what's easiest; make this process as simple for yourself as possible.

Throw together a bare minimum Bluesky account.¹ Be lazy with it. You can customize your profile, explore the site, etc. later.

Make a low-effort post directing people to add you there. Optionally, throw in your Discord handle / instruct friends to DM you for same.

Reblog it once per day. Schedule a weeks' worth of reblogs if you find that easier.

REMEMBER: something is better than nothing!²

¹ I have, for professional reasons, explored the social media platforms that are currently most in use and it is my confident opinion that Bluesky is the only feasible option for a large-scale Tumblr exodus on short notice. Is it in any way an adequate replacement for Tumblr? Of course not, but it's indisputably preferable to no replacement at all.

² If you disagree, I invite you to make your own post.

Basically, I don't think there's going to be an announcement that Tumblr is getting shut down. If the pattern we're seeing holds, I don't even think it's going to happen intentionally. I think Tumblr is going to go out like an early 2000s forum: they're just going to keep cutting the tech support budget until something goes wrong in a way that none of the remaining skeleton crew know how to repair, which could be tomorrow or three years from now. If it does happen, it's probably going to happen completely at random, so there's no point stressing out!
