Feeling Unwanted Ruins My Whole Fucking Day

actually no, we're not "dating". we're bound together for infinity. like the stars. so, fuck you, actually.

I feel awful. I get this dread that I'm behind. I feel like I won't be able to graduate on time. I have the majority of my high school credits, but I feel so behind. I don't have some other stuff I need plus I don't even have a license I feel so useless and incapable.

does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver

bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements

Tips for when you're trying to get people to change their minds, calling your representatives, etc:

Don't act like a street preacher, almost nobody likes those guys. (More information.)

Code switching is your friend. Don't use leftist buzzwords or jargon, use the kind of language they're familiar with. (More information. And here are examples.)

Do not argue or debate with people who actually piss you off or pose a serious risk to your mental health. If you want to refute their points, make a post, zine, video, etc. about it.

Do not argue or debate with bad faith actors - anyone who posts mindless contrarianism (such as the kind of pro-Republican replies posted by porn blogs) is to be ignored and blocked on sight.

footage of me checking Tumblr and every messaging app knowing damn well that no one wants to talk to me

i hate how avoidant i be, ugh. the only way to fix it is to follow through but i dead just dont be wanting to be bothered or talk to ppl sometimes, even the ppl i love. what is that about? bc i damn sure be feeling like an outsider or not understood by most ppl 90% of the time.

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
