nobody wants or uses tumblr live

nobody wants the shop icon where the account icon used to be 

nobody wants the new video player / image viewer (let us pause ! let us zoom !) 

the only good feature recently has been polls and even that took way too long to properly roll out 

we are STILL fighting in the trenches against spam bots 

@staff pls take notes

“I adore the way fan fiction writers engage with and critique source texts, by manipulating them and breaking their rules. Some of it is straight-up homage, but a lot of [fan fiction] is really aggressive towards the source text. One tends to think of it as written by total fanboys and fangirls as a kind of worshipful act, but a lot of times you’ll read these stories and it’ll be like ‘What if Star Trek had an openly gay character on the bridge?’ And of course the point is that they don’t, and they wouldn’t, because they don’t have the balls, or they are beholden to their advertisers, or whatever. There’s a powerful critique, almost punk-like anger, being expressed there—which I find fascinating and interesting and cool.”

A former adult film star recently came out as asexual, and all I’ve seen is aces nodding and being like “makes sense” and non-aces being confused out of their mind.

So…people still don’t know what asexuality is I guess.

And the number of ace-spec people involved in creating erotica novels at this point is an inside joke.

My best idea for these people is “have you ever eaten when you’re not hungry?” And also “can you cook with the intention of serving the meal to someone else?”

Just because you don’t actively want, need, or feel connected to something doesn’t mean that you can’t and don’t engage with it. In fact, it may put you in the perfect position to be analytical of it without being personally tethered to it and can take a step back to actually look and try to understand it.
