My thing is that i do live my life sans tik tok i dont use it to do anything i dont get information from it i dont buy (?????) from randos on there and im not even doing a holier-than-thou thing thats just the way ive lived my life bc im old and tired lol.
But like - lets look at India. India did ban tik tok mainly due to a conflict w china (which is a trade partner/adversary just like us) and let me tell you. Indians did not suddenly Enter The Monastery lol they are doing all of their misinformation, snake oil hawking, and religious extremism JUST FINE on other platforms mainly reels.
All thats to say that i dont think banning tiktok will solve the problems i want it to solve but it also won't be the end of the line. There are or will be other platforms - probably worse in some ways and better in others. Tiktok is not a public utility idk
Go ahead and draw something!
Artists who’ve gotten used to twitter are afraid tumblr won’t be as useful to them if they jump ship, but here’s the thing: twitter is only built for instant short-term gratification, and it severely limits what you can share anyway. You can only post one short paragraph and up to four images that get compressed to death, then at best get a burst of viral attention that lasts a day or two before their algorithm buries it forever and it’s forgotten immediately. On tumblr you can post a whole original article, story or multi-page comic. If you want it to get attention you just tag it every relevant thing you can think of and it stays pretty visible in those tags forever and ever. People interested in said tags follow them or routinely search them, scroll through and will see what you made even years later. Without an algorithm automatically flooding your dash with nonsense and without a “trending news” feature, it’s also practically effortless here on tumblr to avoid things you don’t want to see. If you don’t like a political topic, you just don’t search for it or follow people who post about it and you’re already significantly less likely to see it, just like that. If you really miss algorithmic content, tumblr mobile now has the “for you” section and has always had “based on your likes” options. This is absolutely the most comfortable and useful website for creators to network on as long as you understand its advantages!
If someone called me a ten, I'd take it as the greatest insult ever. I'm an infinity. Everyone knows that.
There is so much fear-mongering about sharia law, when the actual fear should be from oppressive government institutions using Sharia law as an excuse to justify their actions. These countries say they follow sharia law and if someone dissents, they are called an enemy of state and executed. And whenever you use sharia as a representative of oppression of women, you effectively shit on those who died to protest against the hypocrisy and let the corruption win. This is not a friendly reminder. Sharia law is to resolve disputes with equal rights given to both men and women. It is very easy to defend all women instead of just one group of them. Malaysia and Indonesia also use Sharia law. While those countries do have problems with women's rights, those problems are completely different from middle eastern countries (more similar to India then Saudi Arabia). You don't see them being denied the right to work, right to education, being forced to wear or remove their hijabs .etc.
already seeing a lot of *drops comparisons to muslim countries*/*uneducated quips about sharia law*/*general fear mongering, racism and islamophobia*
friendly reminder to express your anger about roe v wade without being a bigot

They're focused on the money. We should've seen it coming when, out of all the people they could fire, they fired most of the writers for the champion lore. The even bigger wake up call should've been Ahri's exalted skin, based on Faker, who famously doesn't use skins at all. So glad I got Star Guardian Jinx, a legendary of the same guardian but way better, FOR FREE out a Worlds capsule.
so arcane fractured jinx is 2 models that they've marketed as 3 forms because they have different ability vfx
note how the left and right forms are the same model, just with a recoloured weapon, and they've strategically placed the form with a different model in between them lol
back in my day we called these ultimate skins and they were £25, now they're called exalted skins and cost about £200
I love this art style.

I don't get it. Why does it have to be at the opposite ends of the spectrum? Women rarely get their own space at all. The house is decorated for show. They are also made to give up their hobbies "for family." Let each have their own space. Or decorate together. My shurikens with you GOT Stark sword. My shounen manga with your shoujo manga. Let's do it together.
I’ve seen this new trend of girls posting videos like “I hate my boyfriend for bringing all of his stupid boy things into our apartment when we moved in together 🙄” and then pictures of his hot wheels collection or a Halloween skeleton or an extremely cool pirate flag. Give him to me you do not deserve him.
