crazy crazy work every time a very sensible “hey, the creator of this thing is a powerfully harmful person and continuing to positively engage with their product makes you complicit in that harm” take comes down and the Tumblr Brain Trust pops out in the reblogs to be like “guys, don’t be scared! this person is being hyperbolic, they don’t mean it! what they mean is keep engaging with the horrible thing you enjoy, but be sheepish and cute about it, and keep reiterating that you’re liking it ‘the right way, to spite the creator’! nothing will change but you’ll continue to be able to stay comfy in your fandoms while posturing like you care! hope this helps ♥️”

Dear video essay creators. A video analysis is when you analyze a piece of media. No no look at me. A summary, no matter how thorough, is not an analysis. An analysis requires you to draw conclusions about the media such as authorial intent, real-world parallels, discussion about themes/worldbuilding/character motivation, and so much more. You have to stop summarizing something and saying that’s analysis. The Gaylors are doing more critical analysis than you. Is that who you want to lose to? The gaylors?

Bsky post by libro.fm: Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

--

Fuck Amazon. Go to bookshop.org or better yet, take a little time on Saturday to visit your local indie bookstore.

It's so nice being on tumblr because you don't even have to make your own post but people would still follow you anyways if you're good at rebloging posts they like
