I don’t know if you’ve heard about Tumblr’s recent change denying PC users the ability to edit posts made by app via web browser, but it’s rolled out for me.
Here’s the thing: I’m physically disabled. I have chronic pain in my fingers, wrist and right shoulder. To be able to blog at all, I rely on both PC and my iPad. I put posts in my draft folder by scrolling Tumblr on my iPad (as I cannot use a mouse for very long because of thumb/shoulder pain) and I tag posts on PC (as I cannot type on my iPad for very long because of shoulder pain–a traditional keyboard is more accessible for me). I do not have the ability to edit and tag posts via iPad. To be able to add to posts in a text discussion is also impossible for me, as I cannot type more than a couple of lines at best on my iPad the way I can on a keyboard.
(Nor do I live in a space where it safe to use voice to text, and it doesn’t work well with my tendency to use long words and speak quickly. It’s okay for short and casual communication, but I could never compose long posts, often using community-specific terminology, using it.)
To say I’m beyond upset is about the understatement of the year. It’s stopped me, completely, from being able to interact with the majority of other people’s posts–because most of them are made by app.
If this isn’t rolled back, I will not be able to run this blog the way I currently am. I have no money with which to buy keyboards or accessories that work with my iPad (and even then I still won’t know if they’ll work as comfortably for me as my current ergonomic/curved PC keyboard, so I could be spending money I don’t have on accessories that don’t work or even worsen my pain). None.Zero.
I would really, really appreciate it if you could protest this. Write to Tumblr. Complain. Even reblog this post. Do something to get this talked about. If this doesn’t change, I won’t be able to reblog other people’s content on this blog. I won’t be able to engage with or add to other people’s posts. This blog will have to either become a tiny imitation of what it was or run entirely without tags (so I can just send things straight to queue from iPad) because I do not have the spoons to tag and reblog posts via the iOS app when it causes me so much more pain than just using my PC ergonomic keyboard. That, though, will still deny me the ability to add to other people’s posts, because if I don’t have the spoons to tag via iOS, I don’t have them for text additions.
(And yes, if I run this blog without tags, it won’t be safe for all followers, and that isn’t acceptable.)
The core feature of Tumblr–being able to reblog and add to other people’s content–will be entirely locked out for me, all because I’m a disabled blogger unable to do everything via app.
Please make a big thing about this. Please get everyone talking and protesting. Please. I am incredibly distressed by the fact that the features I have been using and enjoying for years will no longer be accessible to me.
It doesn’t matter how terrifying or monstrous or deadly you make your eldritch monster, there’s gonna be a person who hauls themselves out of the sewers to tell you that they will personally fuck it.
This post has so many notes and it’s mostly people calling out their friends for being sewer-dwelling awful cryptid fuckers and I love it. Expose them.
i love that one old timey 1910s trans dude who has a tiny wikipedia page for himself that he earned entirely due to him starting fights in bars and being the city’s hottest casanova
Like this glorious jerk got arrested so many times that was literally ALL THEY HAD TO WRITE IN THE PAPER
He was a vagrant street kid and Seattle girls were all over this guy, to the point where it caused a moral panic. There’s a famous anecdote about a women proclaiming her love in Denny Park and then trying to shoot herself, but most of these reports were falsely worded in a way that suggest his female admirers were “upset about being deceived” when really they were upset that he was wooing other women, or trying to get his attention by being as extra as possible.
What you also should know is that back in the day “seduction” was a literal crime that could put you in prison (unless you married the woman you seduced) but since he wasn’t cis they couldn’t really CHARGE HIM with anything. Legend.
I especially like “Seattle Woman Appears in Men’s Clothes Because She Says Her Features Make it Possible.” I can’t imagine anything but someone going “Hey! You can’t dress like that!” and him responding “Oh yes I can. You see, I look very good.”
rdj kissing josh brolin on the lips is such a power move. the man doesn’t give a single fuck. he’s the male protagonist archetype of this century but he will kiss as many guys as he pleases because he can and there’s nothing hollywood can do about it
i love how the media has rdj as this manly hetero Man Of Iron™ but he lives on a diferent dimension where sexuality is whatever the fuck he wants it to be. he will kiss man and women as he pleases. he will dress in pink and yellow and not give a single fuck.
MIRA–
Y SU FAVORITO–
robert has always not given a single fuck for people’s views in what he should wear and how openly affectioned he can be with men. he’s not here for fragile masculinity and heterosexuality. he will continue to kiss, hug and shower them all with love.
😍
Since the photos above focus on him kissing men, I feel the need to also add a few examples of his i don’t give a fuck outfits:
1) he’s a fashion disaster
2) all the guys getting kisses from him are literally b e a m i n g . they love it. they want more
This is on my dash again and the only day I don’t reblog this is the day I’m dead.
THIS IS MY HOLY GRAIL
This is back and oh my god is it better
This made me like the actor (not that I hated him before but I didn’t love him either)
