you want to help stop tumblr from murdering itself? here’s how!
click this link and go to the support page, then click “contact support”
click on the category list and click on feedback
now you need to tell staff WHY putting in an algorithm will cause the site to fucking die, and be sure to be detailed and not a dick in it. theyre not gonna listen to feedback calling them assholes
i encourage you to reblog this so we can get as many people leaving feedback as humanly possible. we need to let staff know this is an utterly terrible idea
by the way, tumblr has turned off asks on all of their staff blogs, so this is the only way to tell tumblr how you feel
So these are both “Aw Fuck I’m outta real food” meals BUT ALSO: if you’re learning how to cook, these are great “baby steps” meals to learn how to cook basics into something enjoyable without “wasting” anything expensive. Though I maintain that even cooking screw-ups are valuable in terms of lessons learned.
Also they’re great for when you get absorbed in something and you realize your blood sugar is dropping and you need to make something Quick.
Making basic storecupboard or fridge ingredients less basic and more nutritious.
Oddly enough, the best and simplest summary of what the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes are about is contained in this extremely sweary Phil Jupitus cartoon. People have been asking me to summarize. This does the job.
(Can someone do the alt text?) I’ll do it as a picture and as a link.
[ID: A nine panel webcomic posted by Phil Jupitus @/phillipjupitus7276 on Instagram.
The first panel reads “Mark Ruffalo and his Sweary Buffalo” in bubble writing with an angry cartoon buffalo saying “Monkey Cock”. All the ensuing panels are a conversation between Ruffalo and the buffalo on a red background with speech bubbles.
Ruffalo: Oh blimey! The Screen Actors Guild have called a strike! And me about to pay for speech therapy for my sweary buffalo!
Buffalo: Shit the bed!
(Ruffalo is now wearing a black shirt that says “Hell no, we won’t appear on your show” and holding a black sign that reads SAG AFTRA WGA STRIKE.)
Ruffalo: As much as I would like to curtail my ungulate’s potty mouth, the strike has to take precedence
Buffalo: Great big sweaty bollocks
(Ruffalo’s shirt now says “Mark Smash”)
Ruffalo: What the industry fails to address is the changing way the consumer is granted access to the labour of both actors and writers
Buffalo: Knob cheese
(Ruffalo’s shirt now says “Act Up!”)
Ruffalo: The fact that the payment model for residuals has not been properly adjusted to take into consideration the way that viewers now access content is a major issue
Buffalo: TIt wank tit wank tit wank
(Ruffalo’s shirt now says “Actor-vist”)
Ruffalo: Also the implications of AI and ownership of the image of an individual requires clarification
Buffalo: Buggery fucktwat
(Ruffalo’s shirt now says “Unionize”)
Ruffalo: Another sticking point is that streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney Plus will not share viewing figures…
Buffalo: Shit prick turd balls
(Ruffalo’s shirt now says “Fuck the algorithm”)
Ruffalo: One industry organisation actually proposed scanning actors and owning their very likenesses for future projects without consent or compensation.
Buffalo: Fucksticks
Ruffalo: The issues are complex at least. But producers and studios need to recognise that a proper debate must take place with the unions.
Buffalo: Management are CUNTS

Thank you for spreading the message, Neil! As a fellow screenwriter (non-WGA but still supporting), this is important and a great comic.
wow i sure wonder 🤔🤔 what the new layouts supposed to look like 🤔🤔🤔🤔 its a mystery
Don’t forget y’all that there’s a much better way for us to let Tumblr know what we think about specific changes, rather than @ ing staff or wip, and it’s sending in a support ticket and choosing feedback!
Tumblr reverted some of the asinine app decisions they made after a concerted feedback effort! So make sure to use this form! It’s what it’s for, but it’s not well advertised!
also im growing to hate the phrase “hold accountable” in discourse because its always so…. empty? like you see people saying “sure this person apologized, but we need to hold them accountable!” like cool. what does that mean. how can you get any more accountable than a public apology. do you want them to apologize… again? more? get a tattoo explaining their crimes so everyone they meet is informed? do you want accountability or are you repeating buzzwords because you cant find a nice way to say you just want them to disappear.
