Today I will… engage in Tumblr > Twitter discourse.
Have you noticed that the tweets everyone recognizes are, dril aside, things everybody once competed to make fun of the day they came out, but even where ridiculous or incoherent or snowcloned our “world heritage posts” are more beloved and often consist of a string of responses managing to maintain the incoherence without bursting the bubble
turns out i DO prefer tumblr’s way of providing me with information, in that i get it from memes and fatalistic humor instead of the panic attack info dump of twitter
I haven’t been on tumblr for quite as long as a lot of people but over several years I’ve noticed this interesting gradual sorta,, shift in the general culture? that it went from this mostly depressed, nihilistic outlook where people would regularly joke about hating themselves and being hopeless and depressed, to a wave of vehemence of “STOP hating everything actually the world is Good and you deserve love!!!” type posts, to now, where those aggressive ‘PSAs’ have faded away and instead I regularly see people romanticizing simple things like stars and hot tea and rainy mornings, and waxing poetic about their friends, and just trying to put love out there. and I don’t know exactly what that means (someone who knows more than me could probably say something smart about generational expression and trauma or popular perception of mental health and whatnot), but I do know that it makes my heart very full to see people learn to love the world and themselves by extension, and a whole userbase adopting healthier coping mechanisms, and therefore teaching the younger users to do so as well. I might just be following different people, but I really do think we’ve grown. everyone has grown. five years ago it wasn’t unusual for the next post on my dash to be a scathing commentary on why nothing matters or an anon ripping into someone they barely knew or someone complaining about how pathetic their interests are. now I have mutuals who get excited and spam reblog art of cows and friends I see tagging each other in pictures of frogs and strangers writing paragraphs about how much I matter. it makes me happy. idk. just an observation I wanted to make. I think people are good and everyone’s just trying their best at the end of the day
does anyone have that gif of a penis growth ad thats a guinea pig that stretches out rly long and a girl says “hot!” and the guinea pig spins around pls i need it
I gotchu
YES!!! YES!! YES!!!!!
You literally cannot find this type of community interaction on twitter or instagram or any other app. Look at the support, the gratitude, the absolutely incomprehensible shared knowledge of this most cursed, most rare gif.
I agree that tumblr is objectively the best social media right now but we CANNOT let this go to our heads. If we act like this site is anything more than trash our hubris will lead to tragedy
i met a girl who made a hate blog about me and threatened to leak my nudes!!!

Just tried to read my inbox by going from the lower right “person” icon to the upper right “gear” icon in the iOS app and instead I got a totally unexpected right-aligned menu that I backed out of on instinct but not before I noticed an entry called “Labs”, that’s something
