a couple of weeks ago i was diagnosed with a benign tumour on my lung. because of the funky placement, it sometimes presses against a major vein, which has been giving me what are essentially minor strokes, where i lose feeling in my face and limbs, go blind + lose balance and fall over :•( luckily i am having surgery to remove it sometime in the next few months!
the downside is im going to end up bedbound for at least 3 weeks, and unable to work for long for the next 8weeks. (during this time i will also be moving into my new flat and starting the uni year RIP)
this is a donation post to help gather things i will need before i become bedbound!!!! things like ALOT of water bottles, a medical urinal (ew), a fan, food for myself and my cats, things like that! any spare change will be saved as a buffer for the time i will be unable to work properly!
i dont really… WANT… to leave tumblr. ive been here since 2011
no other platform has the right format for me to just randomly barf actual thoughts, joaks, and genuine creative content all in the same breath. i dont know how to compartmentalize
every other platform you gotta be a real person. Here you are you’re icon and username and whatever your hyperfixation is at the current moment
on tumblr you can make a post that just says “minecraft” and get 50k notes, where on twitter you have to steal tweets and instagram you have to be hot. tumblr is more like a bunch of kids let loose in walmart where there are no rules and the only god is a bald swedish man
Y’know, the more uproar I’m seeing about Tumblr’s upcoming policy change, the more confident I am that one of two things will happen
A) Tumblr actually follows through with it, and kills their own website. Everyone gets pissed off and migrates to or builds a newer better platform
or B) Tumblr’s staff will go “oh shit” and backpedal on this so damn fast just like they have with so many other updates that people were vocally mad about. Remember that time they tried to merge all the different post-types into one?
I’m not particularly fond of option A, because starting over again and trying to find all you pals would not be fun, but yeah. The immediate anger is gone, now this weird calm just kinda washed over me. Either way it’ll work out, hopefully.
what even are any of these “alternative sites to tumblr in case it dies” everyone’s suggesting like i’ve never heard of any of these in my life do you really expect me to create an account on babar the elephant dot com or some shit and follow you there
bullshit central
