bizarrely i do actually think tumblr is one of the most bearable social media sites that still exists. i will genuinely be sad when they inevitably shut this place down because it’s generally a very chill and nice place these days compared to idk Twitter or even reddit
Graphic designer here. From a web design perspective, Tumblr is very personalized towards user experience. The national news isn’t screaming at you in the corner like Twitter, there’s less information overload as Facebook, and not as gimmicky or in your face as Instagram or Tiktok. The user interface is also quite simple and accessible. You can customize the look of your blog to whatever you want and the stuff on your dash is generally stuff you agreed to see based on who you followed. You can even change the look of your dashboard based on the 12 presets they give you. One’s experience on tumblr is based on how they choose to engage with it, which is why I think all in all it’s pretty chill and less stressful than other social media sites. There’s less pressure to perform I think.
This praying mantis standing its ground
The thing about this that absolutely kills me is the person operating the excavator is gently trying to shoo the mantis away with the giant machine and the mantis is still trying to pick a fight with it
I don’t think it’s indicative of anything meaningful, but it is sort of fascinating how frequently we assume certain experiences are culture/demographic-specific when there’s no reason it would be, you just naturally assumed your ethnicity was the only one saving grocery bags, that women don’t know what it’s like to imagine single handedly stopping an imaginary robbery while waiting in line, that northerners don’t know about dipping fries in a Wendy’s milkshake. Even when shown evidence to the contrary, you’ll see people dig their heels in further for what are mostly benign, simple, or non-issues, insisting no you’re wrong, my group must have taught you that, or no no we do a special way, nothing like your kind, it’s totally different, as if this is a stronghold and you lose ground if you accept that this is probably just a thing people do.
It’s rarely a big deal but I always find it funny how much people will resist the idea that we’re all more alike then we are different
I’ve seen the “my grandma keeps sewing equipment and stuff in this old tin container of Dutch cookies” meme get attributed to like three different cultural/ethnic groups, none of which included my grandma, who definitely keeps sewing equipment and stuff in an old tin container of Dutch cookies. Sometimes, people just do things
Fun thing when you start getting a lot of international friends/partners is that you realize half the thing you thought was “your culture” is very universal, and half the thing you thought was universal turns out only people in a five mile radius ever heard of.
Sometimes things are really suited to being done. Those cookie tins make GREAT sewing-supply storage, and people recognize that with great regularity all over the place.
just can’t vibe with the kind of feminism that implies or states outright that the reason men mistreat women is because of some insurmountable biological difference rather than social phenomena. you’re not explaining or saying anything interesting about misogyny you’re just naturalizing it
hilarious
actually i don’t want this to get lost in the tags
blocking everyone who defends dream on this post ❤️
he made “pride merch” which was overpriced clothing that just had the worm “dream” on it in rainbow text. and donated 10% of the profit to LGBTQ+ organizations.
that is tiny. the man’s a millionaire by this point. he does not need to keep 90% of the profit.
Visually pleasing “realistic” CGI
the opposite of the four horsemen of the apocalypse….the four knights of paradise
Why did they do a vastly superior CGI lion literally 15 years ago asfdsalkj
Stuart Little came out in 1999
I dindt know that rat was gay good for him tho
It’s ironic because they don’t look at US as real people.
remember that members of congress have the blood of innocent people on their hands
remember that humans are never monsters. The worst of evils are always done by people who laugh and joke at the dinner table, and do not think much of the people they’ve killed
