"you better not be littlest pet shop teensies whale when i get there!"

my stupit ass:

reblog to give your headache to elon musk instead

I’d just like to point out the growth in this post has mostly coincided with elon’s public spiral downward and I’d like to think we’re all a small part of that

bro can’t think because he’s just got a rager of a migraine 24/7

yes I would like to give elon musk my menstrual pain. I think he deserves it

Reblog to also give Elon Musk your menstrual pain.

A few doodles I don't remember posting..

The fool’s errand of trying to teach a rook to craft

having a crush on a character that sucks ass:

This is nothing against the anon, but posts like this make me so sad. Like people really have no idea

1. how much it costs to store their gif sets and serve web traffic and push notification and w/e

2. how much Zuck and others have been making from brutally harvesting and exploiting your private information

3. that maintaining a social network like this is a full time job for MANY highly skilled people, and that running datacenters is expensive, and using cloud services is more expensive

4. Like seriously, how is your mind not blown every day that you can still view some gifs uploaded in 2007. That's 10 megabytes that's been viewed (downloaded) a million times. Perhaps some were viewed 100 million times. That's 1'000 terabytes (1PB) of traffic just for one popular gif. It had to be on several hard drives, safely, all that time. You've been lied to if you think that costs nothing.

And again, not saying this about anon and not judging anyone but like. Statistically, over 99.9% of you don't want to pay for Tumblr Premium. How many of you would suddenly want to pay for Open Source Tumblr. How would you talk to the New Staff. How would you react if you disagree on any UI changes they make. If people send death threats to staff over a free social network, how much more entitled do you think people will be if they actually have to pay for it. What if you see some CSAM or revenge porn or something. Who will review it. Who will delete it. Who will be in charge of banning those users. Who will read bug reports. Who will validate complaints about inappropriate DMs. There literally is enough work for hundreds of people every month even with a financial sinkhole as Tumblr is right now. How do you think it would get managed as a community project. Who will keep track of 200 volunteers. Who will replace them when they burn out. Who will make sure there aren't power hungry cliques abusing their power. Who will make sure it's not hijacked by political parties or corporations to push their propaganda and oppress or data mine a minority and sell the data to ICE. Who will make sure a creepy mod isn't just reading all your DMs. Who will carry the legal responsibility if Nintendo sues the site for copyright infringement. Who will do audits. Who will represent it in court. Who will respond to DMCA takedowns. Who will wake up at 3am to mitigate a DDoS. Who will take legal responsibility when the database gets hacked and email addresses get leaked. Who will make sure the database admin isn't actually working for NSA and that's why he can afford to volunteer for free.

Running an ethical, large-scale, rich-content (with images over a few kilobytes large) social network is just incredibly complex. And by complex I mean impossible.

i go to the shop and I ask if they have any raspberries. they say no, they used to sell raspberries, but they haven't had any in stock in the last 15 years. I ask if there's somewhere else I can go to buy raspberries. They say no, with confidence and pride, they're the only shop around who has ever sold or will ever sell raspberries. Other shops might sell other fruit, sure, but they have a monopoly on all raspberries forever. I ask if they're possibly planning on them selling them again in future? they say they can't tell me that.

on the way home, I encounter someone eating raspberries. I ask and they tell me that they grow their own, they got some seeds from the shop back in The Raspberry Days and kept them. They take me to a field of many beautiful raspberry plants and invite me to pick my own, they're free for all the town to pick whenever they'd like.

someone comes up behind us. It's the shop manager, President of Nintendo Shuntaro Furukawa. he hatefully throws a bob-omb that blows up and kills both of us instantly for stealing 200 trillion dollars worth of potential Raspberry Shop That Doesn't Do Raspberries Anymore profits that they weren't making and then he turns around to the camera with a big thumbs up and says don't do piracy or something ok please

so are the "keep politics out of dolls" crowd still feeling that way when these tarrifs cause doll prices to sky rocket?
