"But then something unexpected happened; Tumblr’s revenue surged. What started as a joke, turned real, as users began signing up for the blue tick subscription option proving that sometimes the collective needing to be a part of something is enough of a reason to join in." (x)

almost every time i read a news article about tumblr it becomes exceedingly clear how little the article author and/or the publication understand tumblr and its userbase.

people did not and do not buy the checkmarks as an obsessive need to be on the trend bandwagon or to avoid FOMO.

we are very, very in on the joke. fondly in on the joke. affectionately participating in internet tomfoolery.

these articles never seem to grasp that when tumblr users spend money on tumblr, it's not because we've been successfully hypnotized by marketing, but because

1) we enjoy our blue hellsite with loving exasperation and ride or die intensity and therefore are entirely willing to throw money at the right kind of reason to infuse said hellsite with cash

2) positive reinforcement for being sold to and marketed at in a way that isn't secretly monetizing us, our data, and our privacy by making us the actual product being sold to advertisers, and also because it's ridiculously refreshing in this day and age to enjoy a space on the internet that remains largely free of relentless and invasive advertising bloat

Or a lot of Australian actors farmers in their spare time? Genuine question because i cant tell if it's common

A lot of older Australian actors (and older Australians in general, actually) I know have hobby farms, yes, but I'd say that that's very different from Sam as his family's farm is a (generationally passed-down, from the sounds of it) cattle station and his parents' livelihood.

There is very much a cultural expectation with farmers that I know here that children help out on it during busy periods regardless of their chosen profession. Sam touched on his experiences in animal husbandry in that interview an anon sent me yesterday, but he's talked a bit in press here too about going home for the calving seasons, which I would say would probably be expected by his family given other cattle families that I know.

But yeah, Sam's circumstances are pretty unique, I'd say, given I don't think there are all that many actors who come from actual farming families in Australia.

18 + swaymark!!

oooo thank you!!

#18 - pleaser, wallows + swaymark

okay i know they are canonically obsessed with each other but. the song is in some ways about feeling like you’re failing in your relationship and being not quite as obsessed with them as they maybe are with you, and in this video of them talking about being a tandem, there is the slightest pause before swayman answers “do you miss him?” that makes me want to probe a wound. we’re not talking irl reasons of how that’s an absurd question (how do you miss him. you’re coworkers you’re seeing each other all the time) we’re talking that maybe this whole goalies-in-love thing got blown out of proportion and now swayman’s having to buy into the bit too hard. linus loves it & everyone’s asking about their bromance & how they love each other so much and the thing is—linus is safe. he’s got a wife and plausible deniability and jeremy? jeremy is gay. sure, he can crack jokes and people-please but the more people ask the more they're going to find out until maybe they find out something jeremy doesn't want them to know. and the longer this goes on, the more jeremy has to sit at linus' dinner table with linus and his beautiful wife and pretend like he isn't a little bit in love with him. and you know what? the longer it goes on and linus doesn't dial it down jeremy does stop being in love with him, because it just feels cruel, until he finally is done enough that he stops biting his tongue and ruins the moment.

What if they didn't put ads every 3 posts. Three posts between ads, literally. Not even counting the ad for Tumblr Live.

Also what if tumblr didn't know what city Im in. I do not want my location tracked or stored anywhere unless I give explicit ongoing permission, like with my GPS app that I allow to track me only when the app is open, and then it deletes the data (allegedly) when I stop giving permission.

i want more merch of things that belong to characters

i dont want a tshirt with that character on it, i want the tshirt that character wears!

i dont want a lunchbox with the logo and a few characters on the cover, i want the lunchbox we see them use in the show!

i dont want a plush of the character (ok maybe i do but also) i want the plush that character clearly loves!

[blueberrycumbersnatch]

Great so tumblr live did that thing where it randomly pops back up, so I went to turn it off as per usual, and lo and behold I can’t. I’ve never opened it, it’s always turned off, and I tried exiting out of the app a couple of times and everything. It’s still there. Just a heads up if this happens to anyone else.

People will be like "be nice to service workers they're just trying to do their jobs!" And then tell tumblr staff to kys daily-

Interesting to know it's entirely okay to write and post complete novels to scapegoat transfems off the edge, but if they are too cathartic in what they type to cope, then that's too much. Like the threat doesn't even have to be anywhere close to realistic and it doesn't matter if there's no genuine intent to do anything about it, violence (arguable) is never okay 🥺. Mass scapegoating and direct harrassment is fine tho, I mean it's only preventive.

whatevers going on with vsynth twitter right now i feel like staying away from it ! i'm just excited for my utaus to be in a couple upcoming medleys... that's all...

[hellokenmaz]

Whenever someone mentions city chic a chill goes down my spine, that place sucked the joy out of my life and made me hate work. There's a higher turnover rate for a REASON, they make snide remarks to staff about the way they look, if you aren't wearing a full face of makeup comments WILL be made about how it's not the look of the company.

I had chick's pushing 40 trying to bully me and call me names😭😭 biggest regret was not reporting them to the government for ill working conditions.

They have ppl in head office who have the job of literally just sitting at a desk and stare at security cameras all day, not for security, to monitor STAFF.

[longlegsnamjoon420]

Interesting to me with everything going on with jungkook no one is blaming the company for not keeping him safe lmao. Jungkook shouldnt be dealing with these stalkers the company should be taking care of this for him and I hope that they are and we just aren’t hearing about it

I love saying "raised in the restaurant industry (literally)" on Jazz's ref sheet but also You Guys Don't Get It. It's TRUE.

My parents owned a restaurant when I was born, and less than a year later we moved towns so they could open a different one. We lived in the basement of that restaurant and tiny baby me's playroom was back near the big industrial kitchen. Customers knew me before I could even talk bc my parents always wanted to show off their kid. I knew fancy-ass restaurant orders as a toddler bc that was what I was surrounded by.

A few years after that closed and they split, my father opened another restaurant with a separate upstairs living/office area that younger me used to stay in after school until we went home for the night. And I'd hang out in the kitchen and at the bar before/after hours just eating from the line, sitting in the walk-in fridge for fun, and getting drinks from the soda gun.

And THEN he closed that place, moved again, and opened ANOTHER tiny place a handful of years ago, which I ALSO could hang out in whenever I wanted. I'd just walk to the restaurant for lunch instead of eating in the school cafeteria.

My father's always loved being a chef, and my mother's always loved waiting tables. I've had free access to restaurants my whole life. I am THE restaurant baby.

Why is this mobile update literally the most inconvenient update I’ve ever seen

[zenosanalytic]

Yeah. And the reason they're SAYING they want to do it, "Cuz Furrners are SPYING on US CITIZENS!!!" is 1)Pure Undiluted Warmongering about China, and 2)Complete bullshit cuz the consortium they want to SELL IT to, Liberty Strategic Capital, is Funded By Saudi Arabia.

Like: I fail to see how having the most popular social media for USians under 30 owned by Prince Bonesaw instead of ByteDance(and, by extension, partially the CCP since all companies in China must include a CCP oversight board) is SAFER or ~More Patriotic~ or Whatever bullshit line they're pushing on the subject.

And Furthermore, even if they WERE wanting to hand it over to a USian company that company would JUST BE USING IT TO SPY ON THEIR USERS TOO, cuz that's just the business model for social media. And all this is leaving aside the constitutional issue here, which is that passing a law forcing a company to sell itself is A Bill of Attainder, which is prohibited by the US Constitution.

hey since it's coming up again: no it's not a good thing that the government wants to ban tiktok. no you should not be glad that the government might ban tiktok. no you should not respond to this with "good riddance" or "hurry up I hate that app". I should not have to explain this to you but the government banning a social media app is still a bad thing even if you don't like the UI or booktok or having to say "unalive" or how you think it's killing the very notion of attention spans. It's still bad. It's bad.
