Tumblr is thinking of implementing an algorithm instead of the current following feed to ‘help smaller creators get in front of people’ and I’m like that’s what putting tags on your posts is for?
I’ve curated my following feed over YEARS and I don’t want it all of a sudden junked up with shit I’m not interested in because of some fucking algorithm. If smaller creators want to be seen, then they should put stuff in the tags. Putting random people’s shit all over my feed is not going to make me want to engage with it.
The reason why so many people like this website is because you are in control of tailoring your experience on here. But what that requires is some work— you can’t just come on here and expect it to be immediately altered to you personally. That being said, an algorithm that just throws shit at you that it thinks you’ll like is not the answer. At the end of the day it’s going to actually make it harder for people to tailor their experience on here, which will make the site worse.

End ID.]
Pinepaw and Cormorantpaw from @barrenclan! Thought this audio fit them (in the first few issues at least) so I made this :3
I had this idea even before I’ve got a tumblr account and was looking through the blog when I first discovered the comic (latest issue was #14) and there were a few asks and jokes about what Cormorantpaw is thinking about, so this was based on those asks! (They were from around September 2022 I think) And recently I finally got the time and motivation to draw it :]
(The song is Macintosh plus 420 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQkPcPqTq4M) and was my edition to the audio)
Detailed video description + transcript under the cut.
[Video description and transcript:
A 14 seconds long digitally drawn animation.
Pinepaw, a spiky blue and white tom with yellow eyes is sitting next to Cormorantpaw, a short-haired black tom with hazel eyes and a big scar across his face.
Pinepaw thinks and blushes: “I wonder if he’s gonna kiss me” while looking at Cormorantpaw who is starring off into space with an unreadable expression.
Next shot is a close up of Pinepaw blushing and thinking: “He’s so handsome”. Behind him is a dreamy image of Cormorantpaw with sparkles around the black cat and a pink background with swirling clouds.
Next is close up of Pinepaw from another angle with a love-struck expression thinking: “ I wonder what he’s thinking about…”
Last shot is Cormorantpaw from chest up with the same unreadable expression. In his thought bubble is a video of a 3D rat spinning while the Macintosh plus 420 music is playing. End video description.]
“Issue #8: Do You Really Think That’s Your Destiny?”
I’ve been looking forward to drawing this issue for awhile! Daffodilpaw hasn’t gotten much exploration in the story yet, but I’m really fond of her. She seems like a simple relentless optimist, but sometimes she’ll open her mouth and unironically say the most insane depressing thing you’ve ever heard. Like I’ve said, none of the apprentices in this story are remotely okay.
Her injury is somewhat similar to Cinderpelt’s in how it manifests, as her leg from the shin down is paralyzed. However her upper thigh still works fine, and in any case three-legged cats don’t actually live any worse than four-legged ones. This is all moot against canon Warriors comparison anyways, because in PATFW healers still hunt and patrol. Daffodilpaw can’t run or fight as well as the others but she doesn’t really need to! Not much need in BarrenClan. All to say that canon-typical discrimination against disabled cats isn’t a part of Daffodilpaw’s story and I shall not be engaging with it.
Yeah, her repressed feelings of misplaced survivor’s guilt and pressure to perform for her authority figures is a whole OTHER can of worms!

Issue #3: “Stupid Little Kit Daydreams”
I know I’ve mentioned it before, but PATFW definitely gets into some heavier topics than my other stories you may have read, and I feel like this is the first issue where that really becomes apparent. Pinepaw is under a lot of pressure, and BarrenClan is not a very nice place to live.
Honestly, more of this story than I expected is about how much mentors influence their apprentices, and how all three mentors of the main kids (minus Cormorantpaw and Redpelt) are just… really bad at their job!
Still, that doesn’t excuse Asphodelpaw’s behavior.

Hi Zoey. Asking from a place of ignorance, could you please explain why Threads is dogshit?
Threads is the Hot New Garbagedump by Certified Scum Of The Earth and Facebook/Meta owner Zuckerburg. It is like if twitter was even worse.
There is ONLY a For You page, meaning you can never just see the posts from your followed accounts who, yknow, you followed for the purpose of seeing their posts.You can't see those. you have to see the algorithm's posts ONLY. You also require an instagram to get full access to all the features like Posting Images. You need a separate social media account to properly access this new social media. And once you've done so, the only way to delete your Threads account, is to delete you instagram account. The Whole Thing. For Some Fucking Reason. Not to mention, obviously since it's zuckerburg, the thing syphons your personal information like crazy, worse still than twitter.
Like ALL your data. as much as it can get. (Love that it says "Other Data" btw. Nice subtle way of saying "whatever else we want") ALSO wouldn't you know it? It's fucking banned in the EU because it violates a bunch of fucking privacy laws!! So it's DEFINITELY not safe to use!
It is as predatory and exploitative as can be, created by someone that we collectively agreed Sucks Shit and Has No Empathy For Human Life and Individuality, and nobody should be touching it with a ten foot pole let alone sign up for it. Not even to test the waters or because it's where everyone is heading, or to see how bad it is for yourself. It doesn't matter if you're joining to get an account ready in case the platform ends up the new big thing. You're feeding the statistics. Even if you're not using that account, Zuckerburg can show the number of signups to shareholders and investors to prove to them that it's viable. Instead of jumping on the bandwagon in case it succeeds, inform people why they shouldn't join, to reduce its chance of success! It's like strikes and protests; The more of us get the word out, the more effective it'll be!
Reblog to help forward the cause of science or something, honestly I'm just curious to know how old everyone is.

Don't censor words with asterisks! (e.g f*ck)
Don't censor words as different words! (e.g "unalive")
Always tag the word at least once without the addition of "tw" or "cw" or any other variation!
If you don't tag the trigger as written then you haven't really tagged the trigger! Your efforts have been wasted!

French people raised half a million. Half a fucking million for the family of the cop who murdered Nahel Merzouk, an Algerian boy.
Well we don’t know the value of an Algerian life in France but we sure now know the reward for killing one.
To all the French people who say France is not racist fuck you. To all the Europeans who pretend to be so much better than the US a huge fuck you. To all the people getting a hard on over France fuck you. To all the people who even think about mentioning how destroying public property is bad fuck you. Fuck everyone who is not revolted by what happened.

As Eid Al Adha is falling on the last few days of Pride Month this year, Eid Mubarak to all the lgbtq+ Muslims.
Remember that your queerness and diversity is a miracle from Allah SWT and that you were created perfect.
Whether you are celebrating alone, celebrating with family, celebrating with friends, or not celebrating at all, I hope this Eid Al Adha finds you all safe and at peace inshallah.

It's midnight here, so happy disability pride month to my fellow disableds, the chronically ill, and also to the temporarily abled.
If your activism doesn't include disability, you're sure as fuck going to wish it did.
Nothing about us without us ♿👊

what the everloving fuck
I've got several issues with the proposed Tumblr blackout, but chief among them is the fact that it lands on the first day of Disabled Pride Month and the fact that there are people calling for it to become indefinite when disabled folks already have limited access to their communities, and many of us are losing what little reliable access we have because of places like Reddit going dark.
Like... idk. Maybe I'm being uncharitable. But the prioritization of ensuring Pride is minimally interfered with while the first day of Disability Pride is just taken away is rubbing me the wrong way.
And just to be clear. I don't think anyone is doing it intentionally. But I also think that's the problem. No one thinks about disabled people except other disabled people. I wish they would.
Anti-gay slurs filled my mentions.
The worst came when a group of Swifties tried to mass email my boss and get me fired, which included starting rumors that I was a groomer and pedophile. It was a shocking echo of a far-right talking point being peddled against LGBTQ+ people.
This is so legitimately evil, and it’s exactly the kind of fandom that she fosters — an intense parasocial relationship where she portrays anyone who stands against her as villains who deserve to be punished.
with pavitr having his hair out of the mask, and hugging gayatri when he saves her, and having The Worst attempt at disguising his voice out of all the spiderkids (which is saying something, when you're up against miles and gwen) - i love the idea that everybody in mumbattan absolutely knows that pavitr prabhakar is spider-man, but all have an unspoken agreement to never actually acknowledge it, because he's sweet and helpful and god, he's just a kid.
tourists and visitors and people just moving there will gesture to his very visible and easily identifiable hair and open their mouths to comment on it, and the nearest Seasoned Member of the Pavitr Prabhakar Defense Committee™ will slap a hand over their mouth and wrangle them in the opposite direction before they can blow his cover and get him arrested
We should start getting concerned with people's obsession with uplifting asshole characters, while vilifying the nice and sensitive characters that are practically abused by the other

Punks
The solution to characters of color popularly having their canon personalities erased to make them boring as an excuse to not create actual content of them is not to turn them into,and i quote,'feral gremlins'.Please just treat poc like people oh my gods
