not to give pirates of the caribbean too much credit but it really is the only major franchise Ive seen that was able to pull off the “historical and mythical exist at the same time” with any sort of success

#like how on land theyre in history but on sea theyre in mythology really communicates the wonder and love the #pirates have for the sea so much better than long soliloquies or good cinematography #and then the meta narrative is constantly indicating that the spread of empire and greed for money is driving it away #man……………………………………………………………….. (@liridi)

Building on this its so funny how everyone has a globe but the moment the pirates hit the seas they sail off of the end of the (flat) world. its all in the details etc etc

48hr tumblr blackout proposal

tumblr mobile has seadily become near unusable these past few updates. not just from a user experience perspective (which is important enough in itself) but also from an accessibility perspective.

examples include the new way the image viewer works (if you can call it “working”), the tumblr live button replacing the profile button, and that newly created blogs will be forced to have their main dashboard tab be the ‘for you’ page.

the demands of the protest would be along the lines of:

• reverse the recent image viewer update
• scrap the new users ’for you’ page default setting
• let us turn off tumblr live indefinitely
• increase efforts against spam / porn bots
• make reporting abuse and hate speech as easy as reporting as reporting spam
• let us go nuts show nuts again… for real this time
• commit to improving usability and accessibility, and listening to users!
• (suggestions welcome!)

to protest against these usability issues, and inspired by the recent reddit blackout, i propose a 48 hour blackout (where you don’t use tumblr at all). preferably of both mobile and web (since web has problems too) but mobile is the focus here.

I suggest the 48 hours between the 30th of June to the end of the 1st of July.

this marks the end of pride month (for the “queerest place on the internet”) and the start of disability month (since accessibility is a massive issue here).

tumblr office is in San Francisco, USA, so the times and dates will be calculated using their time zone (PDT).

you can find out the times and dates for your timezone here.

i can’t afford to blaze this post so please spread it around as much as possible! protests only work if significant numbers show up!

tumblr rejected the blaze campaigns for this post because they know it would hurt them. let’s make this an indefinite blackout - it’s the best way to get results.

(so the blackout would be from June 30th onwards)

staff statements, politician answers, disconnect

i do have to premise, many staff-involved posts are going to be from cyle’s blog or written by him. some have other staff contributing to the answer! but he appears to be a sort of main front-end developer, so he’s quite literally the most visible staff member, to me at least.

thanks for your feedback! no.

make it accessible? nah, no thank you.

empty words and a cash grab

I have seniority, tough luck! 🤷‍♂️

your gif quality sucks now? here’s a solution to a completely different problem :)

getting their disconnect called out

disappointment w disconnect and attitude w older users.

discussion on transparency

asking for forever? list plz :)

further disconnect

issues w reblog chains

thought it was a bug. it is not.

deep dive

feedback on functionality

layout issues:

unintuitive

changes are needed, not this one

insight on ui changes

inconsistencies and broken ui

issues w video/picture viewer

hurts the curating of feeds+

lack of functionality

doubles w accessibility issues

went to the gender store but they gave me a fucking knock-off. im a waman now or some dumb shit. how to file a complaint with the ftc

We’re so sorry to hear that you’re dissatisfied with your purchase, Mzs. Yomi. If you return to the store within 30 days we’d be happy to exchange your waman for a gender of equal or lesser value. We just got in a new shipment of Flemboys, very fresh. Wemom and MILKs (mother I’d like to kiss) are very popular with our customers, and we have both Dutch and Hamme lesbians. And catboys are all the rage right now, yes? Well for those who can’t afford the name brand, we have Hatboys. They’re boys in hats. Almost as good!
