this is my favourite post ever

Tumblr is like our elderly dog and when she makes an especially scary cough we apparently think “oh god it’s the big one”

They’re trying to kill her. Go send Feedback about the shitass update it’s apparently the only place where they sort of listen

Oh wow I hate this. So I tested it a little on a side blog and this is what it does

Then, if you go to the notes on the original post, it only shows the reblog from “two”

So the OP doesn’t get to see how much engagement their post has unless people like/reblog from the original post. If someone adds any sort of comment, it splits them up like this. Artists, writers, crafters will see less engagement, nobody will know how far the reach of their post is or if someone says something nice about it. If you want OP to know, you’d have to make a conscious effort to reblog from the first post listed in the chain.

Not only is this going to be bad for general community things, but this could easily promote harassment. You won’t see anything but the initial reblog from you if someone makes an addition, so there could be whole conversations that go completely missed.

Thanks, tumblr. Very cool 👍

tumblr staff adjusting a dial to fine-tune exactly how much they’re imitating twitter while occasionally looking back at their userbase for approval except the userbase is just booing the entire time “we hate twitter” “why do you even have that dial”

shoutout to whoever stole my amazon package containing nothing but a single pair of shoelaces.

Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you’ll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog’s author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn’t add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn’t lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we’re only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be… a lot.

This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!

This is horrible I can’t see the number of notes on my posts at all without adding up everything in the chain

Cursed cursed cursed evil evil evil

Y’all know what to do now Tumblr - we gotta spam the feedback forms to make ourselves heard >:(

There’s a feedback form??

I want to be able to keep up with conversations happening on my post so I can interact with them! Please don’t do this

Made it an actual link.

Not OTP nor NOTP but a magical third thing: I’m indifferent to your ship but your fanart fucking slaps

“Holy shit two cakes” -> “yes yes yes someone made a pink cake this rules” -> “I don’t like cake but the way this is decorated makes me feel like this cake should be in a museum”

God sometimes I’m writing smut and I’ll like, delete a sentence because I’m like, no, I can’t write that. It’s too indulgent. And then it’s like. Girl, what the fuck are you even going to the candy store for if you’re just going to buy raisins. Get real.

I like when fic length/book length/movie length is its own punchline

characters: Ah, I’m so glad that’s all over now :). But luckily that’s done and dealt with and we can all resume our normal lives now :)

fic length: Chapter 9 out of 48

Odysseus: Thank you for the concern, but brother, I can assure you
Our journey is almost done.

“i’m tired of seeing-” use your filters.

“but there was an icky ship-!” use your filters.

“i don’t like that tag-” use your filters.

don’t like what you’re seeing? use. your. filters.

having 40 minutes to leave the house is terrible because 40 minutes is basically 30 minutes and 30 minutes is basically 20 minutes and 20 minutes is basically fifteen seconds. but 50 minutes? 50 minutes is an hour, and an hour? ooobh thats plany off time

what a beautiful, beautiful phrase

anything u think about YOUR life after 10pm is bs to be ignored. anything u think about a character’s life after 10pm should be posted about online and expanded on for paragraphs. :)

Welcome back forgetting to sanitize html/limiting special characters in usernames. We’ve missed you since the New World mmo fiasco.

In fort worth texas theres is this water installation I used to go to as a kid that is an uneven, 20+foot , constantly wet stair case with no guardrails or hand holds or really any safety features that decends into a churning and rushing water pit. It also has a kill count of 4 if you were wondering

OP, does it still exist? Does it have a name? Who allowed this murder fountain to be built?

Yes it still exists and you can visit it today

just give dana some time to distract security

freak4freak is always so awesome but another character dynamic that i think is really great is freak vs freak. you’re the only person who understands me and i’m the only person who understands you. unfortunately this also does not stop either of us from hating each other and in fact it might even make everything significantly worse for everyone involved

This was on a post about how it’s ignorant and privileged to wear headphones in public and I fear its already become a part of my vocabulary. Must everything harbor a moral failure.

science has always been political. what gets studied. what doesnt. who gets to do the studying. on and on and on.

scientists on this post: yuuuup 👍

people who aren’t scientists: um actually ☝️

A mad senator! 🔪

why does this have 32k notes? it’s just a picture of a knife in a ranch bottle, is there some unspoken joke that 32 thousand people share? what is going on here, i dont get it. it’s just a fucking picture of a knife in a ranch bottle. is there some spiritual connection people have to this picture? is there some ominous and mystical reasoning that this has 32 thousand notes? do people reblog this because it makes them look like some indie blogger? or is there just something funny to this? someone please explain

no one tell him

🥳🔪🕺🔥💃✨️🤗🎉🤩🎊❤️‍🔥🤪🗡😈🎉🤺

You’re laughing. My best buddy and all my specialist little girliepops stabbed me and your laughing.

REBLOGGED BY JULIUS CAESAR HIMSELF 🥳🎊🥳🎉🥳💃🥳🔪🔪🔪🔪

i really wonder what Julius Caesar would think of a bunch of neurodivergent rats huddled in a circle chanting ides of march ides of march ides of march and then cheering loudly on the 2067th anniversary of his assassination?

like would he cry?

losing it over these tags

hrt and transgender surgeries being positioned as dangerous and experimental despite being around for much longer than ozempic, which many people are pushing as a miracle weight loss drug while ignoring its real medical indications and any possible negative side effects

it seems like hypocrisy but it’s really the same idea: your body is not yours to control. you are not allowed to be fat, you are not allowed to be trans, we will say whatever it takes to keep you in line
