people really love using psychotic disorders as a joke or trope or plot point in fiction, but even other mentally ill people are just fine with stigmatising psychosis. i’ve heard so many stories of psychotic ppl being in psych wards and fellow patients have said "at least i’m not crazy" or "before coming here, i thought all ppl in a psych ward would be weird and insane". of course, they inevitably slip up and say it to someone who they don’t realise has psychosis. when ppl watch tv and laugh at the "crazy", "nonsensical", "strange" character… what they never seem to think about is that someone else in the room might be psychotic and too afraid and upset to speak up. and then there’s all the times where you call someone you don’t like "delusional" or "psychotic" because to *you* it means stupid and evil. to psychotic people it means that their loved ones are scared of them or hate them.
just think before you speak. and no, you probably wouldn’t know whether or not someone has experienced psychosis. so don’t assume.
So we've been having a bit of a debate in the office because we wanted to do the headline "Local man gives up sugar for 12 minutes" but then overdoing the "local man" trope is a bit male-centric, so we considered "Local woman" but then that sounds like we're typecasting women so that wasn't great either, but I think we've finally found a worthy compromise:
the way tumblr is trying to distance itself from being a blogging platform is fucking. infuriating!!
like do you not know this is your strength!!! I want to be able to visit other people’s pages that have been CUSTOM MADE for their purpose!!! ARTISTS HAVE LINKS AND TAGS FOR THEIR ART!!! COMMUNITIES AND HELP/TUTORIAL BLOGS HAVE TAGS FOR SPECIFIC QUIERIES!!! WRITERS CAN LINK ME TO THEIR STORIES!!! IT HELPS BOTH THE POSTERS AND THE CONSUMERS TO MODERATE THE EXPERIENCE TO THEIR LIKING!!!!
SENDING PEOPLE TO THAT UNSLIGHTLY “BOARD” OF A “BLOG” THAT APPEARS NOW WHEN YOU CLICK THE NAME OF THE BLOG INSTEAD OF SENDING YOU TO THE ACTUAL BLOG IS SUCH A DUMBASS MOVE? IT DOESNT EVEN ALLOW LINKS!!! I CANT DO SHIT ON THERE!!! I CANT FIND WHAT IM THERE FOR!!!! IT MAKES ME NOT WANT TO USE IT!!!!
TUMBLR IS/USED TO BE THE MOST FLEXIBLE AND THAT WAS ITS BIGGEST MERIT!!! YOU HAVE ONE OF THE BEST TAGGING SYSTEMS AND YOU WONT LET ME USE IT TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL!!!
YOU CAN FOSTER COMMUNITIES, YOU LET PEOPLE KEEP MULTIPLE SIDE BLOGS WITHOUT HAVING TO SIGN IN WITH A DIFFERENT EMAIL, YOU ALLOW VIDEOS AND AUDIO AND +4 PHOTOS PER POST!!!! TWITTER CANT HAVE THAT!! TIKTOK CANT HAVE THAT!! REDDIT CANT HAVE THAT!!! FACEBOOK CANT HAVE THAT!!!
IM SO SICK OF THIS TWITTERIFICATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really wanna go to a rave but i'm scared because I jusg so happen to have the cop body type. And i only wear black steel toes twnnis shoes becau,e i'm scared of getting my wittle feet hurt... and i really wanna smoke weed there or do some dmt or someting but i'm autistic so i don't know the right social cues to ask for drugs so i always just ask people on the atreet if they havw drugs and they never say yes theg always leave me so im scared if I do that at the rave people will leave me... and i keep a walkie talkie in my pocket so i can always call my mommy when i'm scared...... so yeah
re: that fucking staff post. obviously death to algorithms, but i also wanna interrogate the wider underlying assumptions of their logic there cuz. is 'success' having lots of followers & lots of popular posts??? why is that the end goal of using this website. i don't open tumblr to get attention from strangers, i open tumblr to read funny jokes and interesting commentary and to see cool art. encouraging clout-chasing will only increase user engagement if you successfully get people literally addicted to the associated dopamine hit. what if we didn't have to do that!!! what if a website could be a place you went to on purpose because you had fun there!!!!
Hi OP and assorted seekers of happiness on Tumblr,
One day many months ago someone I followed reblogged a post that had reblogs turned off before I could reblog it. I looked at the OP and it turned out to be a user research survey blog claiming to associate with Staff. I took it and complained about various things, and then a couple weeks later one of the things I complained about got changed. That blog, was https://www.tumblr.com/benevolenthellsite and the two most newest surveys linked were:
So if you want Staff to stop punching holes in their own roof, take one of those. Or both, both is good. Anyways, just wanted to give you an option. Thanks for listening!
