biggest rule of tumblr is to make a blog you enjoy and only post what you want otherwise you’re getting into the territory of loser behavior.. nothing matters but you and your blog and maybe the fun you have with some mewchies along the way
we need to go back to hating tumblr. no more hellsite (affectionate). don’t even think of giving these clowns your money. if i see you with a checkmark next to your name i’m opening fire
*sound of gun cocking* they can be disabled
tumblr’s current business model isn’t profitable and never will be and no amount of scolding from staff blogs or tumblr ad-free pay piggies is gonna fix that. don’t let yourself be guilted into buying merch, badges or ad-free. you’re throwing your money into a bottomless pit while the techbro ghouls running this website laugh about you at their next board meeting while applauding the shmucks coming up with new ideas on how to twitter- or tiktokify the website
“but tumblr needs to make money!!!”
if tumblr really wants its regular user onboard with keeping the website afloat then we should at least demand that they do the bare minimum in keeping the site functional. and right now, they’re not even doing that. every change they’ve made lately has made the website/app worse. i should give my money to tumblr so what—they can make a more intrusive version of tumblr live? remove the chronical dashboard? come up with an even more transphobic way of doing content moderation? yeah, no thanks
as 90% of desktop users have probably found out, today @staff released an update that for some insane reason COMPLETELY remodels the dashboard to replicate twitter’s. this is of course in the wake of numerous other thoroughly hated changes and a continued refusal to fix any of the site’s actual problems, half of which stem directly from site management.
HOWEVER, thanks to the power of jQuery, i was able to throw together a userscript that remodels the dashboard back to its original look almost perfectly.
here is my dashboard right now, with the script active:
and here is the old dashboard in separate tab container that hasn’t received the update:
it’s hardly perfect; i had trouble making it force reload to the fixed layout when switching between other pages and the dashboard, and it currently only fixes just the dashboard. it’s also completely untested on browsers other than firefox, and chances are it looks a bit screwy on ultrawide monitors. but for now at least, it’s a good fix.
the unfucker is a tampermonkey userscript. all you have to do to use it is install the tampermonkey extension, hit “create new script”, and replace the default code on the page with the script (link here) and save it.
help me cover my medication because my doctor sent in the more expensive kind for no reason other than fucking me over <3
hi im dylan, 22 autistic trans mentally ill and chronically fatigued. i cant call the doctor’s office because theyre closed on weekends and i ran out of medicine, so i had to cave and spend $60 on the new meds. im really upset about this especially because the appointment cost me $200 and i do NOT have this kind of money right now. like i cant even afford my rent next month im fucked.
ive been on the capsules for over 3 years now but for some reason he sent in tablets which was an extra $40 that is literally pointless. i also never met my goal to cover the doctors office visit, i was able to cover the initial cost but it left my bank account virtually empty.
i raised $130 out of the $195 needed for the appointment, so plus the $60 of meds im making my new goal $130 to cover these costs.
pay pal click here. cash app and venmo are both diabolicshrimp
$0 / $130
$80 / $130 !!!! only $50 left thank u so so much!!! <3
still at $80 i could really use that last $50 soon though :(
its so cool watching the modern internet actively strangle itself in the name of squeezing out another percent of profits i love obtaining an intimate understanding of the looming dread a roman citizen during the rapid decline of the empire must’ve felt. it sucks and isn’t good by the way
the thing is this dashboard change isnt the end of the world ill get used to it whatever im just fucking dying of embarrassment that its supposed to look like twitter
twitter gets run over by a bus and the next day tumblr comes 2 school wearing her clothes like. oh my god come on
I’m still thinking about that post i saw that stated art is a result of human suffering and everyone in the reblogs was agreeing?…..Did van Gogh not paint starry night because medications were improving his state? Louis Wain’s “I fell in love with a lovely kitten and that kitten was myself” is a message of self-love, not loathing. When i felt under pressure because i felt a lack of control over my life, i lost my drive to make art entirely. Did cavemen feel hate for the subjects they’d paint in their own homes? Art isn’t always the result of suffering, it’s just a human thing
