I needed a new url and this one was open so I was like "Fuck it. we're going for it đ" What up, I'm Kjersten, I'm 25, and I never fucking learned how to like things casually! If you're a k-pop blog I interacted with, you would probably be more interested in my sideblog kaptain-k-pop. If you like any of my blogs you should be my friend! I like friends
people love extolling the virtues of ball-and-socket joints and how it makes us more advanced and all that but I donât see any fucking octopuses in slings now do I. Bones are overrated and I want a refund.

Everyone in the notes saying âthis is a 10k post to meâ âposts that have 100k energyâ âposts that are 30k to meâ or whatever - alright, fine! Put the fuckinâ work in then! Youâd better have this queueâd up every day for the next six months! Youâd better have all your friends queue'ing it up too!
You want me to suffer?? You want to treat me like my own goddamn bones do???MAKE AN EFFORT
The difference between a strike and a boycott is the focus of what is being withheald
In a strike the supply is being withheald because the workers aren’t producing whatever it is. It works by having the masses demand what the companies cannot produce and therefore, if the company wants to continue providing whatever it is in order to continue making money, they have to listen to worker demands
In a boycott the demand is being withheald because the masses aren’t buying or engaging with whatever it is. It works because companies, obviously, need to actually sell things in order to function. The point is to make the company change something about a product in order to appeal to the masses again
That’s why you shouldn’t boycott when a strike is on (unless the union says so) because it kind of cancels out the strike. If there is no demand then witholding supply is meaningless - again, unless the union says so, since that means they factored it into their industrial action plan and believe it would be beneficial
I know people want to help but the reaction to call for a boycott whenever there’s a strike just kind of…… doesn’t
At first Netflix said, come write for us. We’ll save your cancelled shows and write about whatever niche story you want. Our algorithm says people will watch it!
Then a few years later they said, regardless of our promises or contract obligations we are cancelling shows after two seasons without telling anyone. Turns out no matter how loved a show is, we get less subscriptions after the second season.
How many subscriptions did we bring you? Netflix won’t say.
So writers started writing two season shows. Just give us two seasons, Netflix. Like you promised.
Then Netflix said, oops sorry! Turns out your show didn’t premiere at #1 and the views in the first day weren’t what we wanted so we’re cancelling your second season.
What were the numbers? How many people watched our show? Netflix doesn’t say.
Then, they did something extra special. They started taking shows and splitting their first season into two halves. Inside Job was not two seasons. It was one season split in half.
Oops! Sorry! The second half of your first season didn’t do as well as the first half, so now your show is cancelled!
Why? How many people? How much money? These companies are making cash hand over fist and they refuse to tell people the truth: people loved your show. Loved it. But some corpo exec wanted an infinite money making machine. Do you know how long shows are in production for before you watch them? Years. Like, 5+, even 10+ years. And Netflix gives it less than a week before they decide whether you’re getting cancelled.
using tumblr mobile and seeing people talk about a desktop layout change is like hearing a timer suddenly start ticking down. I am safe for now but I hear the danger
I cannot put into words how much I Fucking Loathe the fact that when you search something on youtube now it will randomly intersperse blocks of âpeople also watchedâ and âfor youâ into the results. Thatâs not what I searched for, youtube. I typed in a search query because I wanted to see search results, not random unrelated garbage you have placed in my way apparently to either inconvenience me or force me to scroll further for actual results. I despise your wretched little games and every time I see it I can only instantly close the tab as I am overcome with the urge to burn something down.
âI despise your wretched little gamesâ perfectly conveys how I feel about the entire algorithm/attention economy
They also refuse to actually show the parameters you searched for. If you sort by âupload date,â the first few videos might be more recent ones by upload date, but anything past that youâll find a video that was uploaded five years ago, then five months ago, then three years ago, etc, whichâNO! Thatâs NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR!! PUT THEM IN ORDER!!!
Also sometimes the âpeople also watchedâ bullcrap will not only be entirely unrelated, it will also be videos with violent, sometimes outright triggering thumbnails. Iâve gotten some AWFUL unrelated video thumbnails just when searching for video game music videos.
So many notes ppl confused by corn wielding Colima dog wait until you see the dancing figuresâŚ..blow your mind. Teach you true love
humankindâŚwhat more can I say. I can only aspire to have such deep and rich a human connection with anyone in this life that will be as radiant as a ceramic figural pair of dancing xolos
Theyâre also at the center of a roundabout
Mexican here, fun fact! While we call them âDancing dogsâ, theyâre a young pup and an old dog, and the older one is revealing wisdoms right on the pupâs ear.
Youâll recognize the older dog bc heâs got wrinkles!! Itâs a wonderful scene!!
You know that study that found when doing a blind taste test the majority of people prefer pepsi over coca cola so coke changed their recipe to taste more like pepsi, and people actually liked the new coke a lot less because the people who were buying coke didn’t want it to taste like pepsi they wanted their coke to taste like coke. That’s what a lot of the new changes tumblr is working on feel like.
âi wish i could do something đ / i wish the wga had a kickstarter or a gofundme, i would throw money at itâ good news! itâs amazing how you can literally go onto the wga strike website or the wgawest linktree from their twitter and find links to support writers and other workers affected by the strike
