i dont really… WANT… to leave tumblr. ive been here since 2011
no other platform has the right format for me to just randomly barf actual thoughts, joaks, and genuine creative content all in the same breath. i dont know how to compartmentalize
is that no teacher ever called him James by accident, or that Ron never was called “Bill-, eh Charl-, no Per-, argh!”
As a younger sister who knows this struggle all too well: THIS IS REAL. Pretty sure 70% of my past teachers still think I’m called what my sister is called in fact.
Imagine Fred being called Percy by McGonagall accidentally and then he gets so offended that he refers to her by “Professor [insert any other name but McGonagall” for the rest of the year, costing Gryffindor a considerable amount of points one at a time.
From then on, she vows to just call them all Mr Weasley.
Until Ginny comes along and she calls her Mr Weasley by accident and Ginny “accidentally’ calls her Sir and it starts again.
It’s lightly off-topic but also slightly relevant but I have long cherished this mental image of Professor Snape saying something snappish to Harry in just the wrong tone of voice and Harry absentmindedly, wearily, and completely accidentally responding with, “Yes, Aunt Petunia.”
How important do you have to be to have been “assassinated” instead of “murdered”?
That is…a good question
If the motivation is political, then it’s assassination. Otherwise it’s murder. You cannot be assassinated by accident.
If a jilted ex murders the Prince of Placeland, it’s just a murder.
If a jilted ex is also a member of a rival political faction, it may be assassination.
If a jilted ex is driving home in tears and accidentally runs over the Prince of Placeland in the middle of the night in a neighborhood where the streetlights are out because of the prince’s questionable infrastructure policy, it’s manslaughter.
us: porn bots are still prevelant even after the “purge”, the mobile app is shit, the algorithm used for dashboard and searched posts is extremely flawed, posts are disappearing, the activity notifications are unsortable, the quality of pictures lessens after being uploaded, and there are pedophilic users
staff: fear not
staff: no tits
staff: ur welcome
Staff: also we aren’t going to do anything about the Nazis
Staff: also completely innocent things are going to get tagged by our algorithm
Staff: Hashtag #PleaseBe Patient
@staff Given all evidence so far I don’t see why I should #PleaseBe Patient
Everyone’s going on about having a ‘traditional, old-fashioned Christmas’, but when I burst into the house covered in green paint and demand a champion strike my head from my shoulders with my own axe so that I may return the blow next year, I’m ‘scaring Grandma’.
By the way, my first thought: Every single time you see a flag on one of your posts, whether it falls into the ban or not? Flag it. Make them work their asses off cleaning up their own fucking mess. Make the shitty bot with a 10:1 false:valid positive rate their problem. Make this entire fucking policy a goddamn fucking nightmare for everyone at tumblr.com.
This post got shadowbanned. The only tag on it was my author tag. It does not mention sexual content in any way.
Big surprise that tumblr’s idea of “inappropriate content” includes any discussion of how they’re screwing us, isn’t it.
