“With the strikes it’s back to watching reruns and old movies!”

I’m sure all you Tumblr users have heard by now about the changes being made to Tumblr’s ecosystem so that the site can make more money. And I’m sure most of you are as uneasy as I am or, in fact, are angry about the proposed changes.
The reason they need to make more money is simple: Tumblr is $30 million USD in debt.
For this site to run and for them to pay employees, the site needs to generate revenue.
This place maybe a hellsite but it’s our hellsite. We are still here because we actually like it here. Besides, the other social media sites are crashing or will crash soon. Where else would we go?
Now, I did some research. There are at least 300 million users and over 500 million blogs. One of the cheapest things to buy on the Tumblr store is the crab package you can gift to another blog, which is $3 USD.
If each and everyone of us buys a crab package, we get to keep Tumblr alive and kicking. @oracleoutlook suggested that we make a holiday of it on July 29th. It seems to have resonated with people. Others have also asked for that to extend to August 5th, as some people don’t get paid til the beginning of the month.
Many people have already agreed to celebrate July 29th as Crab Day, a day of posting crab memes and gifting crabs to other users. And if you cannot afford to buy crabs, that is a-okay! Participate in the crab memes. Who would pass up the chance to make and reblog memes about crabs, after all?
This hellsite is ours. Let us remind them of that.
okay then lets do this.

So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom
It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education
602-771-3500 or empower @ azed .gov 🤡
and for the love of god, don’t just spam it with memes or le funny shrek jokes or whatever, they’ll just hang up
make plausible-sounding reports for things that don’t actually exist, so that they actually have to waste time/resources investigating false leads - the goal is to waste time they would otherwise be using to do their jobs, not to get tumblr clout for being an epic troll
So apparently the internet article said the superintendent wouldn’t be deterred by the prank calls because they would ‘taper off eventually’. It’d be a real shame if this post stayed in circulation via queues so they get a consistent list of prank calls to filter through. 😇

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.
Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this
Hell yeah moon holiday

This refusal to mask to protect lives reminds me of how that one old timey surgeon was like “hey I noticed that mortality rates go down when I wash my hands between handling corpses and delivering babies, maybe try it?” And he got treated viciously and shunned by the entire medical field because “a gentleman’s hands are always clean” like by default so they shouldn’t have to wash them.
And just this obvious but often unspoken idea that contagion can never be spread (and definitely not seriously suffered) by someone who thinks of themself as like inherently “pure” and how these ideas link up with white supremacist and ableist/eugenicist concepts of who is “dirty” and who is considered pure/clean by default even without cleaning themselves (and how Calvinist predestination never really left us and people think they’re “good” because of their own special essence rather than what they DO) and like who generally gets blamed for widespread contagion and how those who are ill long term are suspect and are either fakers/exaggerating/“using it as an excuse” or deserve to suffer somehow or both and how all this cognitive baggage makes it possible to see thousands dead every week and decide that’s not a big deal
Which is a lot of why anti masking started with christofascist white supremacists!!
Anyways if you consider yourself a leftist or like even a decent person you should back that up with your actions!!
Be willing to put up with literally just looking a little weird, that is the lowest cost you’ll probably ever pay for potentially saving human lives and I’m sorry but if you let your feelings of AWKWARDNESS get in the way of living by your principles you need to suck it up. I have intense social anxiety and it is not a good reason to refuse to take the most basic precautions for a deadly and disabling illness.
That’s assuming you HAVE principles and value human life… Idk maybe you kinda believe that your convenience is worth more than other people’s survival because you see anyone who might get very sick or die as part of an out group that you can’t bring yourself to care about!
And if that’s the case you need to work that shit out bc I’m sorry but it’s shitty of you to see the world that way and you can do better.
“No one is more dangerous than he who imagines himself pure in heart: for his purity, by definition, is unassailable.”
James Baldwin
And… okay. HOW all through this have we not even once managed to speak the “old timey surgeon”’s actual name?
Semmelweis. Ignaz Semmelweis. At this end of time, his name makes him sound like a cartoon character. But he wasn’t one.
His initial theories about the transmission of puerperal fever were admittedly incomplete and incorrect in some regards; he was a little too early for germ theory as we now understand it. But he was still the first to make the direct connection between handling corpses and it being a bad idea to go directly from that work to dealing with women in childbirth.
And he would not stop talking and writing about it… which got him widely ridiculed. Eventually his frustration and rage over this treatment broke him. Ignaz was eventually institutionalized as a madman, was beaten and abused in the asylum where he’d been confined, and later died of septicemia secondary to a gangrenous wound he most likely got from that abuse.
So spare a thought for the man who died of insisting that women giving birth, and their children, should be spared dangerous disease by their doctors washing and disinfecting their hands before attending them.
