Weird to see you on these protest bandwagons ... you know they don't do anything?

Normally I just delete "asks" along these lines, because I have actual RWS/TTTE goodness in the box to get to, and this thing where people go and tell someone else how they should run their blog is rude as hell.

I'm not 100% sure this falls into that delightful anon ask genre, however. At least there is a question mark in it. Plus, I'm in a docile mood.

So:

1) My boosting and participation in the log-out Post+ protests is considerably more likely to have any effect on the world than my voting in the U.S.'s national or even state elections. Yet I still vote, too.

2) I doomfully suspect tumblr will, in fact, implode in two years. It's gonna suck bad to lose yet another internet home (*vaguely waves around fandom oldie card, a weary vet*) and when it happens I at least want to know I did something, this time around.

I will go so far as to concede that backing up my tumblr content would probably be more practical.

#3) doing something to screw with tumblr @staff is its own reward tbh #it's just fun to have a lil prison riot every so often #y'know #as a treat #chatter #vent #i don't mind being reminded to add an important filter-out tag when i've missed one #but anon randos complaining when i post about bwba/aeg/humanization/shipping can also. just. make their own blog?#i don't get it i literally ask nothing from anyone #i'm just entertaining myself and if you like it that's truly awesome but if you don't. like. i'm not a service. i'm not monetized.#bonus for people who come to my box thanking me for NOT talking about X Y or Z #if you're an account i answer privately but if you're anon i just... delete #like you were happy to find a ttte space that was relatively free from X soooo why the hell did you try to drag it into here?#go complain about The State of the Fandom on your own blog #let's not even get started about anons asking me what i think about Latest Fandom Two-Minute Hate Figure #and/or a trend that MY ACTUAL MUTUALS are engaged in like why are you trying to get me to talk smack about other people?#i hope it's clear that i'm not complaining about asks in general #i love most of my asks #it's just the negativity and attempts at shit-stirring that draw my ire #whelp i guess my docile mood has disintegrated #sorry for the #(tagging it)#negativity #/vent #back to Trains soon <3
