can we just like, all agree to boycott tumblr for 24 hours to show the staff that we’re pissed about the update? because they have to track usage and stuff like that, and I feel like it would send a pretty big message if enough people did it. like nothing fancy, just don’t use tumblr from 12:00am to 11:59pm, one whole day of nothing, not even mobile blogging. maybe set up one queue’d post explaining why you’re boycotting (so anyone that doesn’t get the memo would know what’s up) but other than that maybe even stop queues (just for the day) to help send the message.
I’d propose Wednesday, September 9th as the day. That’s one week after the update, one week to give it a try, one week to show the staff that we’re not just overreacting to change (the way people are apt to do on the internet) but are serious about not liking the way they’ve changed our blogging experience. That also gives us a week to get this post around the site: long enough to spread it around, but not so long that people forget that we’re going to do this. Maybe set a reminder on your phone or computer so that you don’t forget. I’ll be posting in the tag #updateboycott throughout the week for general reminders and to answer any questions/suggestions.
And please, reblog this. The only way this will work is if enough people see this post and participate to make a difference.
so tl;dr: hate the update? join the boycott of tumblr on Wednesday, September 9th from 12:00am to 11:59pm by just not using tumblr that day.
Thanks.
also: different timezones are a thing, so wouldnt it be ultra cool if we all agreed on 24 hours in the same timezone? so it really makes the biggest possible impact?
I realized that after I made the original post. The boycott will begin at midnight on the american east coast, which means:
9pm Sept 8th PST (US & Canada West Coast)
10pm Sept 8th MDT (US & Canada Mountain)
11pm Sept 8th CDT (US & Canada Central)
12am Sept 9th EST (US East Coast)
5am Sept 9th GMT (England)
6am Sept 9th CET (Central Europe)
1pm Sept 9th JST (Japan)
3pm Sept 9th NZST (New Zealand)
1pm, 2:30pm, and 3pm Sept 9th (Australia)
thanks to everyone who’s pointing this out, please try to reblog this with the times on it!
There are approximately 4 million Syrians who are now trying to escape death in Syria. Many are stranded, lost, suffering or already dead. These are called “War Refugees” not “Migrants”. Thousands are already living below poverty line in camps and tents in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, and Greece, and thousands are trying to reach Europe because thats their last hope. They are not after your tax money
Today and tomorrow are just too depressing to think about. I have a 0% chance of getting Vice Quadrant on these days.
My Dark Side got out, this morning. Playing through scenarios on the premise of What If Someone Else Got It?
What if someone else got it and threw it in the rubbish? What if someone else got it and decided to keep it? What if someone else got it and erased the GD signatures because they
On September the 9th, 2015, there is going to be a Tumblr strike if the new update is not cleaned up for better readability.
Instead of a story. Instead of reblogs. Instead of my usual inanity.
All you will see from me on that day, is this gif.
staff, you dun goofed. Instead of making this site more accessible, you made it very much less so. All you have to do is remove those bloody stupid mini-icons. That’s it. Why is
Boy gamers are so self-centered they act as though women haven’t been playing video games for decades, and then act horrified when the female gamers who have always been there actually become visible and vocal about the rampant misogyny that has infected the gaming world.
Like seriously, how entitled do you have to be that women saying “it sure would be nice if I wasn’t treated like shit while enjoying the
Well, I don’t think she ever seriously wanted the city. She conquered it as a stop-gap mechanism.
The line had to be drawn, somewhere, and Millie initially drew it with arsenic in Lord Pemberhall’s snuff. The man had been planning to raze her neighbourhood to put in a park, after all. He didn’t give a fig about where the people who lived there went, or if they lived or died.
Unfortunately, Pemberhall’s heirs immediately began bickering, and when

As an apartment dweller, this is a game changer. My current apartment doesn’t have a laundry facility and the closest Laundromat about a 30 min bus ride which is just not practical. The mini-washer is a life saver
The panda mini washer hooks up to the sink, is incredibly lightweight (about 28 pounds, so light even I can lift it) and easy to use.
My mother taught me all of this, I then promptly forgot. Reblogging because im a fucking adult & need this information.
Personally reblogging because the drawer idea is genius. Generally reblogging because I can’t count the number of people I’ve tied a tie for or walked through their first load of laundry from hamper to drawer.
It’s official! The video game with 50s housewives fighting zombies finally has a Kickstarter date!
Aberford will be Kickstarting on September 15th! Spread the word!
Thank you all for you patience and support! This would not be possible without all of you. We took a risk when we pushed everything back to work on the art, but you trusted us and I think the results speak for themselves. The parts are all finally in place and we’ll
A California police officer has been fired for NOT using violence
Seaside, CA — A 20 year veteran of the CSU Monterey Bay police force, was given a notice of termination this week for choosing NOT to immediately resort to violent escalation during a confrontation with a suicidal student.
The unidentified officer was the first one on the scene when responding to an incident involving a suicidal college student in his CSUMB dorm room in February of this year. The officer
