i think it’s really fucking funny actually how they forgot to make the new tumbler web ui scale at all, this shit is tiny as fuck on my 4k monitor
WHY DID YOU MAKE THE POSTS LESS WIDE, LIKE THIS UI IS NOT JUST BUNCHED UP FOR NO REASON IT ALSO SQUISHES THE INBOX AND DASH FOR LITERALLY NO REASON, MY SCREEN IS WIDE USE THAT SPACE
like i wouldnt even care THAT much about the buttons having moved to the left (its a useless change but like yea whatever) if they at least fucking did it in a clean and responsive way and didnt just squish the site even more, there wouldve been a way to do this that wouldve ended up leaving extra space for posts n stuff that isnt there right now but NO
ID: a comparison betwen the mobile twitter and new tumblr menu layouts. They look almost exactly the same with the twitter/tumblr logo at the top followed by: home, explore, notifications/activity, and messages. After that the exact menu options are different but still similar. End ID
This site has truly been liberating (exhausting, aggravating) in exposing me, every day, to the deeply challenging yet ultimately necessary idea that literally every single communist out there is going to have at least one idea you think is monumentally fucking stupid and wrong even if you agree with every single other facet of their politics. Every single one of them. And yet we keep going. Through gritted teeth.
You should be able to mentally list off each one of your friends and political allies with at least one idea of theirs you think is totally back-asswards plum fucking stupid. And then you should be able to smile lovingly (or wince, whatever) and go right back to doing good work. If this bothers you or you mistakenly think you all agree on absolutely everything then, friend, you are sooner or later in for a bad time, I promise you that.
I’ve already had two people take this post to mean “you should work with people who fundamentally do not have the same goals as you and may in fact be bigoted towards you”, one of them angry that I was apparently proposing this and another actually directly endorsing this idea! I do not endorse that idea! What do you fucking think I mean by “friends and political allies”?
This post is about people being annoying. Having one or two opinions you think are dumb about issues that aren’t the lynchpin of your entire political project. This is a post about the tyranny of small differences and the inability to get a room with more than two communists in it to agree on anything. Not like, fundamental incompatibility of who you think deserves human dignity. I thought I made that pretty goddamn obvious but maybe not! Come the fuck on, maybe!!!!
stating to think there’s an inverse correlation between how good media is and how easily fandomizable it is 😁
good media should make you stare at wall for 2 hours instead of immediately starting shippings wars and coffeeshop au and slowburn fics
no no you’re not wrong but also
there’s a reason for this.
My personal theory is that if Media is REALLY good, there isn’t really… space, if you will for fans to add or change perspectives on it. Too dense, too complete. Like how coral won’t grow on plastic because it’s too smooth
Whereas some half-baked hot garbage has got ALL KINDS of plot holes, incomplete characterization, warped timelines, missing worldbuilding and other Spaces for fans to colonize, like coral growing on a sunken battleship.
And then if a series just sucks too much, it’s not fun to interact with at all, and people won’t fandomize it because it’s toxic. Like how coral won’t grow on sunken piles of burnt-out tires.
