Relaxing

Mmmmm

Ummm? My side blog @lil-bloomz is gone? Or I can’t see/access it from being logged in on mobile?

“I don’t know what my goals are, no. Thanks for asking.”

PLEASE WATCH AND REBLOG - DON'T JUST LIKE - THANK YOU

BISAN IS AFRAID THIS MAY BE HER LAST VIDEO. THE OCCUPATION IS PLANNING TO INVADE NASSER HOSPITAL IN KHAN YUNIS, THE LAST FUNCTIONING HOSPITAL IN THE GAZA STRIP.

SHE WANTS PEOPLE TO SHARE THIS. PLEASE, PLEASE REBLOG.

people are way too comfortable being dismissive of children and teenagers. if a toddler comes up to you and starts explaining skibidi toilet lore or if a 13 year old asks you if you want to hear about their mha ocs you have to listen with utmost sincerity or at least pretend to. this is the only way you will get into heaven.

I got a lot of new followers today, hi! A lot of you probably just found me from Tumblr staff featuring me on the @artistalley blog.

I've seen a few people comment that they dislike these featured posts because they're "ads" so I just want to address that for a second

Tumblr does not get any kind of revenue from me through featuring me. I didn't pay them for that. I know a lot of people are disgruntled with Tumblr staff for various reasons but I think the artist alley blog is a great way to spotlight merch artists. It's helping me right now

I am a queer indie fashion designer whose clothing store is my entire livelihood. Sharing and purchasing my work directly supports a QPOC (me). You can dislike "advertising" as much as you want but I hope you know that a lot of individual small businesses are run by people like me and are very small-scale operations (I run my store solo) that rely on self-promotion and features to earn a living. It's incredibly different from big corporate advertising.

Some guides to thinking through & responding to Zionist talking points

happy poyolidays ⁺✧

that article going around abt firefox's new ad program is annoying bc it's phrased as though "mozilla has finally TURNED on its people and is SELLING YOU OUT for cold hard cash!!" when. that's not what's happening. it is specifically being implemented to discourage tracking behavior, and literally all the data they are giving to advertisers is aggregate and anonymized, which is like, the opposite of what that post wants you to worry about, lol
