For every note this gets I'll personally kill a transphobe with my bare hands

Just found the german (my first language) translation of Hamilton on Spotify. My first impression was that it's well translated but the choice of words are odd.

Then I got to "Die Schuyler Schwestern" (Schuyler Sisters) and ran into this line:

Literal translation: "You're a babe, I would drink your bathwater."

This line is a replacement for the line "I'm a trust fund, Baby, you can trust me"

Now I can see why it was so unsuccessful.

tumblr blackout proposal

tumblr mobile has steadily 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

remove flashing ads, including not accepting blaze campaigns for posts with flashing in them

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.

[edit: a 'blackout' is when you don't log in, or interact with the site at all, for [x] amount of time.]

I suggest from the 30th of June.

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!

edit: 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.

edit 2: plain text version of this post

On one hand, I love a Jason that gets seriously injured and turns into a scared dog. *Mwah*, chef's kiss, 10/10.

On the other hand, I love a Jason that gets seriously injured and reverts back to his younger self.

Jason, seriously hurt, pointing one of his guns at Bruce: “Don't come any fuckin' closer! You just get yer ass out of here, I don't need yer damn help.. I never want yer help with anything ever again..”

Then you get a Bruce that has to try and calm the dog. That sits at the end of the alley a comfortable distance away and waits for his boy to come back to him. Holds his hand out and waits for the dog to inevitably give in and let Bruce take care of him.

BUT ALSO

Jason, slowly bleeding out on the floor of a random warehouse: “...”

Bruce, who just so happened to be busting the same criminals and probably just saved Jason's life: “..Jay?”

Jason, sounding like he's tearing up behind his helmet: “..I wanna go home now, dad..”

Bruce: “..Okay, Chum. We'll go home now. I'll take care of you.”

GRGGGHHHHH I WANT TO SQUEEZE THEM AND SHAKE THEM ALL AROUND

Decided to bake a little something to celebrate.

we were talking about cats in the vc today

I need to vent a little bit. It’s been stressful with work and irl lately. Also, I’ve been feeling icky about my art. Impostor syndrome again.

Do u guys especially fellow artists feel like the longer you work on a project or comic, the more you feel like you’re overstaying your welcome? Like, the longer I work on and share my au comics, the more I feel ‘ah, People are sick of this series, maybe I should stop. It’s lame now, ppl dont wanna see my AU comics anymore’ kinda feeling. I know it’s just my tired brain talking. I am still having fun working on both my AU’s but man I’ve been feeling anxious and worried ppl are bored of my work.

Idk, maybe it’s just art project fatigue? I wish my brain would take it easy on me and stop planting self-doubt in my heart 🙂‍↕️😔🥲 anyways, dont worry I wont stop just yet. I’m just tired and a little stressed… and also sad about my art lately.

The dream demon can't get me if I don't sleep.

unoriginal joke
