this website's moderation sucks ass and it has a terrible bot problem and there are an enormous amount of bugs but thankfully we have a staff team hard at work not addressing any of these but instead making shitty ui changes that nobody wants
Tumblr: Everyone’s mad at me can someone help me allocate my @staff ???
- 10 normal moderators
- 100 transphobic moderators
- 1 guy crying in the corner trying to keep the backend from catching fire with his tears
- 2000 underpaid interns who completed a three-week Angular course on Udemy trying to make the UI ‘fresher’
- 300 candle makers

The stories of women in my family who were forced into lives they didn’t want and didn’t utilize their passions breaks my heart. My grandma wanted to be a journalist and write about the injustices she saw inflicted on disabled ppl while she was volunteering at a state run institution as a teen. Her father decided that she was “too fat and stupid” for college and forced her to get married at 17 or else he’d make her homeless. As a kid she told me that she wished people believed that she had meaningful opinions on events around her. One of my great grandmothers wanted to be an artist but was pressured into marrying a man who beat her. She stayed up late each night when her children were in bed writing poetry and pasting it over elaborate collages she mad herself. We still have stacks of these notebooks she created but was never allowed to do anything with. My mother wanted to be an operatic singer and was considered a musical prodigy in her town because she taught herself three seperate instruments by 13. When she was 18 she met my then 30 year old father who emotionally manipulated her into giving up her dreams to start a family with him. As a kid I would hear her up at night playing the violin or doing vocal exercises until she became too depressed to practice anymore. Like idk y’all there’s a quiet type of violence in the way women’s talents are devalued and brushed aside in favor of bullying them into “traditional” roles that ultimately don’t fulfill what they wanted for their lives. We’ve lost so much art, music, writing, science, and happiness to misogyny.
A Mini Guide to RSS Feeds
With all the talk about Twitter and social media going on, I felt really inspired to do a comic about RSS feeds. This is a really barebones guide but I hope it helps you stay updated with your favourite webcomics, artists and websites.The nice thing about RSS feeds is that almost any kind of site has one, so if you wanted you could add user feeds from tumblr, twitter, mastodon, etc. here’s some helpful guides on how to add those (1) (2)
I hope you found this little guide helpful. I’m just a simple guy who’s passionate about RSS feeds, comics and staying updated using both. Go forth and make the feed of your dreams!

Because this is seemingly relevant again!
An update is that I’m now using Feedbro as a social media alternative (while still using Feedly for webcomics).
Reblogging here because I recommend RSS readers for blogs, newsletters, webcomics, even tumblr blogs. Whatever!
RSS readers are basically a low-tech non-interactive Tumblr dashboard. Algorithm-free chronological content.
Feedly turned stupid for me at some point, so I’m just throwing a rec in here for Palabre. Which I love because it looks like this and I’m a sucker for pictures and interesting layouts:
Please ignore my extremely lazy category names and the fact that NPR is flooding my dash.
'can i copy your homework?'
'yeah just don't make it obvious'
ID: a comparison betwen the mobile twitter and new tumblr menu layouts. They look almost exactly the same with the twitter/tumblr logo at the top followed by: home, explore, notifications/activity, and messages. After that the exact menu options are different but still similar. End ID
It’s not copying! Twitter has a serif styled g in their typeface!
