@staff Not exactly the “welcome back to the app store” you were expecting huh
THIS is the kind of protest that tumblr will care about sooner or later. Leave bad ratings and reviews on apple or in the google play store. Lower their rating so hard that it damages their userbase.
Logging off for a single day isn’t of interest to tumblr. I’m not saying y’all shouldn’t protest in any way you can or want, but logging off the site for just one day isn’t going to bother tumblr because tumblr doesn’t CARE about your symbolic protest. Tumblr has proven time and again that it doesn’t CARE about its userbase. We’re still using the site and we won’t stop using the site any time soon because there’s no alternative. But that’s what we’d have to do to hopefully force tumblr to change anything. And they still won’t do it because their policy change isn’t about family values or what the userbase allegedly wants. It’s about money.
So, unless you stop using the site and app permanently, or for a long period of time, this isn’t going to matter to tumblr. And when you do, you need to do it in big numbers.
Leaving them bad reviews in the apple app store or on google play (where it’ll be harder because the current average rating is 4.4 stars and you need to edit or leave a LOT of bad reviews to drastically lower that), is going to do more to damage their reputation and thus do more to compromise their profit.
I’ve had this on repeat for the last couple of minutes switching my hearing to hear either “that’s a fucking excellent idea” and “that sounds like an excellent idea” (which is what he’s actually saying) and it’s really tripping me out
ok this post canceled due to recent events…I was talkin about some 26 year old pop star calling things “gay” in 2007 not a 50 year old hollywood producer who’s been actively pursuing 14 year old girls since 1976
a very important distinction. it’s one thing to fuck up, as all of us are apt to do, and it’s another thing entirely to be an abusive piece of shit with a history of sexual harassment.
one of my favorite tropes is when a character is talking in the foreground and something happens in the background that directly contradicts what they’re saying
foreground: character is talking about how they pride themselves on being a good parent
background: character’s 3 year old son starts a car and speeds off
narcissa is possibly the most competent person to ever hold the name malfoy
That’s cause she married in, Narcissa is competent because she was a fucking Black.
Bellatrix? Queen of torture death and chaos, fucked up but she was very good at it.
Andromeda? Broke thousands of years of tradition to cut ties with her toxic family so she could love who she wanted not to mention effectively love and raise Nymphadora, the hufflepuff prankster we all love.
Regulus? First to get at through Voldemort’s defenses and find one of his horcruxes. Then left a fucking note. Petty and iconic.
Sirius? Became an animagus, a very difficult and dangerous thing to do, at a very young age and helped create The Marauder’s Map, an indispensable and nearly unheard of magical item, while still underaged just because he really liked his friends. Nevermind all the shit he got up to after.
The Black family don’t play and Narcissa 100% like that because she was a Black. The Malfoys couldn’t find that much BDE with both hands down their pants and a fucking map
Fun fact my grandpa was in the Air Force but only because he cheated his way in
So he did a great job with everything all along the way, until he hit got to his marksmanship test.
Now, my grandpa is a great shot. The catch is, he’s left-handed. And the people administering the test did not like that and insisted he shoot righty.
Naturally, he sucked at it. But he had a few tricks up his sleeve. And by tricks, I do mean a pencil.
When my grandpa went up to retrieve his target, the man pulled out a pencil, stabbed a bunch of holes in the center, and called it a day.
The grift worked, he passed with flying colors, and he began a 30+ year career as an Air Force engineer, helping design the B-2 Bomber, and being a general badass.
Also, he’s led me to believe he knows information about aliens, and the man would never joke about something like that.
People are asking about the alien thing. All I know is that my grandpa had access to confidential information and absolutely no sense of humor. He has learned classified secrets and he would never pull a prank. When my mom and her sisters were kids, they once joked about if aliens are real, and he stopped them in their tracks to sternly tell them that they never, ever, ever are to joke about that again.
I was at a wedding last week and the 50something year old DJ started playing “Africa” by Toto. Every person under 30 in the room started belting it out and losing their minds with joy and I heard the wedding planner say to one of the older guests, “For some reason Jerry started playing this at every wedding a few months ago and it’s always a hit.”
