The most crucial thing in the next four years will be to ensure children feel safe within the home. The Bastard People excel at keeping normal folks on the back foot with a firehose of hatred and attention-grabbing bullshit. We need to ensure our kids have a place of security and that’s going to mean (a) a fuckton of patience and (b) monitoring what they’re seeing online.

I have a close family member who is transgender. Their spouse reached out to me after the election and said they were afraid for their lives.

Because this petty document Trump just signed doesn’t change the reality of any trans or intersex person, just how our government will now treat them.

In a way, yes, I suppose it is

To all the TikTok users flooding Tumblr right now…

to those of you who are moving here from tiktok, from someone whos used both tiktok and tumbr for years…

:

1. DO NOT censor your posts

dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)

2. we dont really have an algorithm

you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the ‘for you page’ is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points

3. dont crosstag

we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old “repost comments” on tiktok)

4. dont expect to go viral/be famous

“viral” isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is

5. blocking is your best friend

tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on

6. you cant go into someone elses house and start rearranging their furniture

this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we’ve been here longer and we’re familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app

Another important point

You need to actually reblog posts for this site to work as it should.

Liking posts only saves them in a spot that no one checks except for the user who liked them. Most people have their liked posts hidden.

Also, this site has a spam bot problem. One way we weed those out is to check the blog to see if it’s actually being used to post legitimate content. If there is absolutely nothing on your blog you’re getting blocked and some users may just straight up report you as spam as a precaution.

Not to mention that the posts you reblog will only be seen by you and whoever follows you. Tagging it “fyp” does absolutely nothing.

All of these people asking, “Why make a Robbie Williams biopic if no one knows who he is?” should immediately show us how many albums they own by J. Robert Oppenheimer.
