PEOPLE:
STOP COMING TO TUMBLR FOR NEWS.
There are live updates happening on most major news outlets. Posts circulating on tumblr are behind the times. If you want ACTUAL UP TO DATE NEWS with a minimum of panic and rabble-rousing then check elsewhere.
Yes, this is as bad as it looks. No, a panicky tumblr post does not have all the information. Prefer verifiable facts to social media soundbites.
C-SPAN live video feeds (heads up: these are live and I’m not sure what content might be inside—so call this a violent-content warning)
Reuters article (updating but not a live feed)
Additionally, check your state and local news sources. There are related events already happening at the state/local level—it’s equally important for you to know what’s happening close to home. Be informed!
GO TO A REPUTABLE NEWS OUTLET.
i’m not interested in anything anyone has to say abt terrorists breaking into the capitol if it doesn’t include race. don’t just call them trump supporters, don’t just call them right wingers, don’t just call them fascists and don’t imply the only reason they’re not getting shot dead and gassed like thousands of black protesters is because they’re trump supporters.
they’re white domestic terrorists. their whiteness lets them afford the privilege to strut past police and into the biggest government building in the entire country while holding rifles and machine guns. not their political ideology, their whiteness. say it all or shut the fuck up.
fyi americans outside of dc, stay away from your state capitol too. there have been reports of terrorists attacking capitols in utah, georgia, new mexico and kansas as well. please stay safe and stay at home.
list of fundraisers for the damages caused by the earthquakes in Croatia (ill try my best to update this if i find more):
housing help for Petrinja and Sisak
additionally: although most of these have info written in english, im willing to help u with any language barrier type issues if needed!
not 2 exaggerate but the good place’s thesis of “if the modern pressures of life were removed, we would inherently seek out opportunities to learn and become better and kinder people” is a more interesting and valuable thing to say about society than anything that’s ever been said about cell phones
✿i love the good place so much ✿everyone should watch it ✿top tier ✿i mean i have some small crits but like that's just media ✿tgp
happy new year ❤
✿ngl pleasantly surprised a lot of you are still on here ✿dl ✿look after yourselves ✿stay safe and warm and drink water ✿meditate and take pictures of things you love ✿it's not even midnight yet but yeah ✿i hope 2021 treats you all better and that happiness will surprise you ✿im logging off again~
2021 please……..
please, bitch……..
THESIS: the real reason that people stay on this hellsite is not “chronological order” or “the drama” or whatever (per se), but is instead linked to how tumblr, unlike most social media, is not optimised to give content as short of a half-life as possible, but instead is optimised to let content continue to cycle for months, years, even decades. this has in turn led to a more consistent centralised site “culture” in which there is more coherent linkage among different areas of the site, thus also explaining why its content permeates so thoroughly throughout the internet.
