One thing I love about Tumblr that wasn’t a thing on Reddit is that I can just write whatever the fuck text post I want. No titles. No putting text on images. No algorithms or karma. Just fuckin splatter your mind onto the screen and people will see it. Like god intended.
Watching reddit refugees and native tumblrinas intermingle is like that scene from the Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride, where all the lions realize that the only thing that separates them is mud and they shouldn’t fight because they’re family.
Except the mud is crippling social anxiety and the family is a rotting capitalist system that ruined both our respective sites, but in different ways.
I’ve been told before you shouldn’t talk about politics or religion on a date because it might make things awkward, so I try to touch on both, partly because those are genuinely interesting subjects and partly because “bad first date” seems a thousand times better than “finding out six months later that you’ve fucked a staunchly conservative fundamentalist”.
Like yeah disagreements are uncomfortable but you know what’s worse? Waking up next to a dipshit
