so it’s been about a week since i’ve moved from reddit to this god forsaken hell hole (tumblr) and like
i love it
i’m not going back to reddit
my RtT (redditor to tumblrina) transition is complete
i never thought i would say this but this social media (if you can call tumblr one) is actually doing wonders for my mental health
no more doom scrolling
actually interacting with humans that are just as weird as me (feel free to talk to me)
not being afraid of being myself
yeah…
i’m home.
Literally me, content doesn’t update fast enough on this app for me to doomscroll so I actually take breaks
I also feel like I’m interacting with actual people on here, and the posts I make are seen by actual people, vs submitting memes to a faceless void and being regurgitated an infinite stream of images
Also this entire platform being queer friendly makes me not feel attacked while browsing outside of my corner of the website
Also me and all my mutuals being a little friend group is fun, love y'all :3
I still don’t get this whole “interacting with actual people” thing. I still, just like with any other site I’ve used, still just feel like I’m shouting into a void. Nothing about this site feels any different.
i dunno, i think the fact the main way of interacting with a post is to reblog it with - most of the time - your own little take, while seeing other people you follow doing the same with their little takes on stuff they love just feels more social? like, on reddit, most of the time (at least for me) i would upvote something and move on. maybe comment. almost never dm/directly interact with anyone
maybe is just a change of perspective/fresh start for me that it feels like that?
Tumblr just feels a lot more personal, like I feel like that my posts are actually tied to me as a person. I could post anything on reddit and no matter what it was nobody would care about it in 15 minutes, but it’s different on Tumblr. My first post from over a week ago is still getting comments and reblogs, I’ve gotten DMS from people I’ve never met talking to me and it’s been so wonderful. It feels less like an endless void and more like a busy convention center. Yeah there’s a shit load of people here, but each one of them is their own unique person that has their own personality, interests, and quirks. It’s a lot easier to interact with real people than a silent wall of shitty pngs. Tumblr has honestly made it easier to interact with people irl too. There’s been a positive feedback loop, which is something reddit made me feel like was impossible. Tumblr is just so much nicer to me than reddit ever was or could be, and that’s something I think is wonderful. In the words of OP, I’m home
“Credit a unique sense of solidarity across Hollywood’s aggrieved labor community in 2023 and writers’ tendency toward communication. Or the imperviousness of corporate leaders whose chief stakeholder concern appears to be shareholder value, and who have recently preferred not to wade into labor battles on the record.”
Short-staffing has become a major problem in all sectors. Retail, food service, health care, education, factory production lines, call centers, child care, IT, office support staff, etc. Every corner of our society and economy.
Now we know that even in creative spaces employers are not willing to hire sufficient staff to accomplish necessary tasks, demand workers do more than their fair share of work, for longer hours, without fair compensation or reasonable breaks/time off.
While every force available in the world is searching for the 5 people in the oceangate submersible, a boat filled with mostly Syrian and Pakistani refugees sank under still “unknown” circumstances off the coast of Peloponnisos, Greece (with the coast guard present). More than 600 people drowned but guess which of the two is making headlines
“Schrödinger’s Republican: Hates big government and the government overstepping, but constantly makes laws that overstep Claims to hate cancel culture, but wants to cancel everything at the drop of a hat
Won’t ban AR15s and similar weapons because bans don’t work, but want to pass laws to ban the most trivial things that offend them
Pretends to be pro life (for embryos), but wanted to cull actual humans during the pandemic, mostly elderly people like your parents and grandparents because “muh freedom”
Constantly tells people to “stop living in fear!” Has to carry a weapon or they won’t feel safe when picking up coffee or getting fast food
Claims to hate pedos. Proudly supports the orange man who hung out with Epstein and Maxwell for over a decade. The same orange man also hired Alexander Acosta as Secretary of Labor into his administration, who happens to be the same guy who gave Epstein a slap on the wrist in 2008, railroading the FBI’s investigation into Epstein.
Brags about Republicans freeing slaves, proudly flies the flag of the Confederates, the ones who fought to keep slavery. Imagine calling yourselves the party of Lincoln while also flying the Confederate flag and getting triggered when they take down confederate monuments.
Hates people who ask for handouts and people who don’t pay taxes. Literally donates money to a supposed “billionaire” who is always asking for money. The same guy who also bragged about not paying taxes.”
