everything is so expensive these days im genuinely very grateful i found a reusable menstrual product that works for my anatomy
tumblr as a company has clearly sided with israel (running pro-israel propaganda & misinformation ads, blocking/suppressing the palestine tag and many related tags) at this point if you pay for ad free browsing, badges, or merch you are enabling this. tumblr is not playing both sides, they are not acting neutrally, they are on the side of genocide. do not support this company
forgot to mention that tumblr is also deleting posts and videos showing proof of israel’s acts of genocide and war crimes, which is abhorrent on a different level. they are suppressing the truth intentionally. tumblr is acting maliciously to silence the truth. do not fund this by buying features from them. if you do i will assume you either don’t care at best, and silently are aligned with zionism at worst.
what possessed the maplestory soundtrack musicians to casually produce the grooviest toe-tappingest ear worm track known to the computer game world when they made the kerning city subway bgm
the kids are really out here like “lol i can’t believe my parents and grandparents believe everything they see on facebook and fox news ahaha anyway my tiktok fyp is feeding me the platonic ideal of truth”

Felt that it’s important to share videos like this too.
The world wants us to forget that they are people.
People who dance and play and smile just like you and I.
And it's important to share things like this, to remind them the world that they are human.
nothing like when you wanna cry but just don’t have it in u. what do u mean i just have to sit with the ache until it fades again. where is my immediate and powerful catharsis
Blind Tumblr users: don’t get the latest iOS app update!
I just updated my tablet to the newest version of the tumblr app for iOS and it completely broke screen reader access for both VoiceOver and Spoken Content. This has happened in the past already, so I will file a support ticket and copy-paste my text from last time, but this really sucks. I sincerely hope this doesn’t affect all screen reader users, but I’m unsure how they could program this bug in a way it only affects me. If you rely on a screen reader to use the tumblr app, I’d advice to not get the latest update to be on the safe side.
When I say “completely broke access”, what I mean is that no posts on my dash or on individual blogs get read or recognized at all. No plain text, alt text, tags, etc. Note count and buttons still work though.
If you also run into this bug, here’s my advice. If anyone has something more useful, please tell me
- File a support ticket and report this bug
- Use the browser web version, which still works for me
- Interestingly, if you save a post to your drafts and click on “edit” the post text seems to get read correctly. This might be a work-around for some people.
If you have the latest version but your screen reader didn’t break, also please tell me! I would be fascinated to know if this bug is only affecting some people
TL;DR: The latest tumblr app update for iOS made it so screen readers no longer work in the app
Please boost!
Do people know about Vocational Rehab? If you're USAmerican they have this in every state.
It's a program that helps disabled folks access education, training, and employment. For FREE.
You only have to be disabled to qualify (autism, ADHD, mental illness, physical illness, etc) and they cover very broad categories of disability. You do NOT have to be officially diagnosed yet when you walk in - they will even help pay for your diagnosis if you are struggling w disability.
I applied with my suspected autism and fibromyalgia, and they paid for 100% of my formal autism assessment.
Once your disability is established they will give you career counseling to learn about your interests and skills, and depending on the plan you create with your caseworker they will then help with school or finding employment. They paid for 100% of my college tuition and books, and even provided a laptop for me to use.
You do not have to pay anything for this program. If you make above a certain income, you will have to contribute to educational costs but will still receive assistance.
They will also help with the cost of things like mental health counseling while you work towards your goals, clothing for interviews, etc.
They cannot discriminate based on your race, gender, or sexual orientation.
They won't make you do excessive meetings.
They will allow you to do meetings with your caseworker remotely.
They will not drug test you.
They want you to succeed.
I'm sure that individual experiences vary but my caseworker was exceptionally easy to work with and very kind.
Vocational Rehab is a phenomenal resource every disabled person should be aware of. Here is the list of offices in every state:
