  • Man, I'm so incredibly sorry, but I do not have money to donate to gofundmes. I am on the unemployment benefit, and about to start study to be a teacher, so I'll be extra poor. I reblog what I can, but I've had to turn off my messages and asks due to the incredibly guilt-tripping messages I have been receiving. I'm often on Tumblr on my phone browser, so I don't see messages - logging into tumblr for the first time in 2 months on my desktop, and seeing over 100 messages, most with some variation of how I don't care because I'm ignoring them, is incredibly upsetting. I do what I can, and I give to my local community with my time and effort. I'm sorry that I can't do more.

  • forgot to add - our dollar is incredibly weak, and I don’t even have paypal!!!!!!

  • That a major social media platform that's been around for two decades going down without proper archiving would represent a greater loss of human culture than any library that's ever burned is undeniably true, but it's also a very funny observation to make about Tumblr in particular.

  • tumblr has been brute-force archived by archive.org so many times, i really cannot believe there aren't a thousand complete copies of the whole site scattered around already.

    library of alexandia can't say the same. imagine if anybody had tried to mob-rush the doors of that library to brute-force-copy its contents before it burned to the ground.

  • We shouldn't expect or depend on archive.org to be complete. I just checked my own URL, and it was only captured once each in the years 2021, 2022, and 2023. Then I looked at the snapshot from 2023 -- the first page looks fine, but the second page jumps straight back to 2016. What happened to all the years in between? I posted, and archive.org took occasional snapshots, but neither is reflected by how the pages are served up.

  • the bmw behind you will act like you not hitting the pedestrian at the crosswalk is done specifically to spite them

  • might as well have spit in their face. This is the same as not wanting to kill someone who has the right of way to fucking cross the road, surely

  • You know America doesn't have a deep state in the strong sense the term was coined for because otherwise 'fire career generals on the advice of your favorite media personality while incinerating billions of the haute bourgeoisie's fortunes' is just exactly how an elected official ends up choking to death on their morning coffee.

  • JUST IN: 🇺🇸 White House says President Trump will not accept a situation where "Wall Street is allowed to run the economy."  — Watcher.Guru (@WatcherGuru) April 8, 2025ALT

    if the deep state were real trump’s next president’s daily brief would just be suspiciously sharp and well-framed photos the public has never seen from November 22, 1963
