I met a lot of the nicest friends i’ve ever had thanks to tumblr. I discovered digital art thanks to tumblr. I discovered new shows and fandoms and yes, other stuff too but just when I became old enough to see it. It’s my little space where i can be who i am

i learned english because of tumblr

u can tell who the ancients of tumblr are bc they’re the ones not posting anything abt where to find them if this site collapses…we know this site isnt going anywhere….the apocalypse couldnt stop this garbage…..it has the cybernetic code of a cockroach

those of us who’ve been on tumblr 5+ years: 

And now a warning about drafts

bogleech:

You ever write up a post you decide will be too controversial or embarrassing but leave it in your drafts to sleep on and then forget about it? How about real personal stuff you weren’t sure you wanted to share at the time? Heavy-ass receipts on bad shit you’re leaving there only just in case you’re forced to use them?

Well if any of your drafts get flagged by the new system, a mod can apparently see them in with all your other flagged posts, and if they un-flag them, it publishes them automatically as a brand new post. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Y’know, the more uproar I’m seeing about Tumblr’s upcoming policy change, the more confident I am that one of two things will happen

A) Tumblr actually follows through with it, and kills their own website. Everyone gets pissed off and migrates to or builds a newer better platform

or B) Tumblr’s staff will go “oh shit” and backpedal on this so damn fast just like they have with so many other updates that people were vocally mad about. Remember that time they tried to merge all the different post-types into one?

I’m not particularly fond of option A, because starting over again and trying to find all you pals would not be fun, but yeah. The immediate anger is gone, now this weird calm just kinda washed over me. Either way it’ll work out, hopefully.
