beep beep sometimes when you have been in survival mode for a long time the parts of you dedicated to Wanting Things atrophy and you forget how to envision a future that feels rewarding because you are busy with the business of staying alive, and it can seem like your life must be pointless because you can’t imagine any long term goals. sometimes even when you leave survival mode you can’t remember how to Want Things. that doesn’t mean you need to give up on having a good and fulfilling life, it just means that Wanting Things is a muscle you need to gradually strengthen. the part of you that has dreams and aspirations is still there, it just fell asleep, but if you wiggle it enough it can and will regain feeling. it’s okay to start small

Tumblr, buddy, listen to me. This is an unprecedented opportunity. You can snap up all of the pie here, and become defacto internet goodguy easy. All you gotta do is… drop the nsfw ban. Unambiguously. Announce that dicks are back on the menu. You want people subscribed the blogs? You want people to actually use your Post+ function? Porn. Let us use it for porn. The youngins aren’t joining this site anyway, you’re not competing with tiktok. The vaguely horny 20-40 demographic though? You can have that. You can have all of that. Think about it.

Do you know how many pinup artists alone are itching to come back to tumblr, but dont because of the unclear, seemingly arbitrary application of your nsfw policy? These are insanely talented people who are practically begging to give you content. For free. But you gotta change the policy. We can’t keep dancing around this. Just think of publicity. The drama. A complete 180. You’d kill it tumblr. You could make it happen. Please.

Hate to always be the one saying this, but:

No, they literally can’t.

FOSTA/SESTA hasn’t gone away. Credit card companies are still reluctant or completely unwilling to do business with adult content providers. The app store is still a bitch. Ads are still a necessary part of the website’s revenue stream.

People don’t seem to understand that Twitter being able to semi-openly host explicit porn, despite being so huge, is an act of fucking wizardry. It’s unclear why Twitter gets such wildly preferential treatment from these entities (especially now) but the fact remains that it is preferential treatment. Not just any website can do that.

If Tumblr’s ownership (not @staff mind you, the actual owners) was confident this website could be fully financially supported on subscriptions/post+ there might be a shred of a chance that we could get porn back, but people are EXTREMELY hostile to Tumblr’s efforts to ‘be a profitable business,’ so why would they expect that to work?

Yes, the NSFW policy could be hugely improved. It needs to be more clear and consistent. But, for the record, it’s fairly obvious that the inconsistency and vagueness are at least partially because A. the moderation is almost entirely automated and B. staff genuinely wants to give us wiggle room to post lewd shit while giving themselves plausible deniability

If you want porn back, stop talking to staff and start talking to your congressmen.

max1461:

Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.

Word for today: wisdom of repugnance

The logical fallacy that because something disgusts you it must be bad

this is probably the funniest example of a tumblr user simply not reading the post theyre reblogging at all

If you watched the NIMONA movie, enjoyed it, and want to support it and other (gay) media like it, consider slamming that double-thumbs-up button on Netflix. I know what you’re thinking: Netflix has a double-thumbs-up button?! That’s what I said too. But I have it on good authority that this is a metric with serious weight for Netflix and it’s something they take into account when deciding whether to invest in other similar (gay) properties. So send Netflix a message and give that sucker the ol’

I’m sorry friends, but “just google it” is no longer viable advice. What are we even telling people to do anymore, go try to google useful info and the first three pages are just ads for products that might be the exact opposite of what the person is trying to find but The Algorithm thinks the words are related enough? And if it’s not ads it’s just sponsored websites filled with listicles, just pages and pages of “TOP FIFTEEN [thing you googled] IMAGINED AS DISNEY PRINCESSES” like… what are we even doing anymore, google? I can no longer use you as shorthand for people doing real and actual helpful research on their own.

Time to drop some links again.

Search engine for the indie web, personal websites, digital gardens. You can also find them in websites like Neocities, Indieweb, Blogarama, and write.as. There is also a big list of personal websites.

Search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and promotes websites that aren’t usually at the top of the list.

Search engine for items in libraries (books, but also maps, articles, sound recordings, theses, etc.)

Also, P.S.: Please stop using Google, and start using more privacy focused search engines, like DuckDuckGo or SearchX (opensource; personally haven’t used it yet, but it looks promising for privacy-focused users)

The webcomic Nimona posted its last page today!! I had the honor of watching it grow from cute characters in a sketchbook to the beautiful finished comic it is today, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. I can tell you that the amount of love, time, skill, and straight up hands-dirty hard work that Noelle put into this project was immense— and in my opinion, well worth it. Nimona is a phenomenal comic.

I hope you’re all as excited as me to see it published in book form come early next year!! Make sure to grab a copy! If ever there were a book deserving of your pre-ordering, it’s Nimona.

My best friend ended her webcomic today, and it is amazing and perfect and beautiful. If you haven’t read it, go read it. If you have read it, get psyched for the book, and for every amazing thing she’ll make in the future, because I promise you: this is only the beginning.

Hey. Go stream Nimona, based on the graphic novel by ND Stevenson, out today, 6/30/23, on Netflix.
