My friends, fellow creators, watching me write: You should really get some sort of brace if you're in that much pain and writing so much

Me, broke, using a hair tie as a makeshift brace: Like this?

My friends, horrified: no-

Oh no...the time has come. I’m being forced to switch to the EA App. To say I’m scared is an understatement.

@staff​ do u think...people come to tumblr after seeing famous screenshot-ed posts...just to then NOT see the whole reblog chain in person...?

in-fucking-correct

Which of these would you rather see on your dash?

Hey @staff. This is a perfect example of why collapsed reblogs is such a bad idea. Seeing the full thread, you go like this: 😮 ooh, that's cool 😀 "they're free," hehe! 🤣 "16 cents," perfection!!

I have achieved joy, I feel positive feelings toward Tumblr, I want to engage, I want to stay, my eyeballs land on more ads, you make more money, everyone wins! 🎉

Seeing the collapsed thread, you go like this:

😮 ooh, that's cool 😐 "16 cents"? yes, that's literally what the pic shows, not sure why you felt the need to say that

There is no motivation for me to uncollapse the reblog chain—it looks like a boring conversation about the denominations of coins. And even if I do uncollapse it, you've ruined the joke by showing me the punchline before the setup. I am sad, Tumblr is boring, I go elsewhere to entertain myself, I see less ads, you make less money, everyone loses. 😥

Reblog chains are the best thing about Tumblr. They are your unique super power. They are the thing that makes people screenshot Tumblr and share it around. Why on earth would you kneecap them??

I don't know exactly how you plan to implement this. Give people the option to keep them collapsed if there truly are people who are annoyed by how long they can get (you already have a version of this feature), but don't collapse them for everyone or new users by default. Please. It will make Tumblr so much more boring.

why do all tech companies have to introduce changes and features that no one wants and then won't give us the option to turn these features on or off? i might actually have to stop using gdocs because that new @ feature popping up on every new line messes with my brain. i just want a simple and good fucking word processor with an easy sync and backup so that i have access to it everywhere and knows it's relatively safe that also won't financially ruin me. is that really too much to ask for?

#remember when france tried to do a 10 day work week as a part of its whole 'science and reason will prevail' thing #during the revolution + reign of terror #and it utterly crashed and burned #wow it's almost like these things are like the way they are for a reason

Looks like the secular world discovered the Sabbath.

Wrote this before learning Southwest Airlines is indeed using Windows 3.1 and 95 today, right now. In 2024. The Paris airport failure was in 2015...

We laughed at the Paris Aiport running crucial systems on Windows 3.1, but that only had 1 critical failure in 23 years of operation.
