How would you use any of those words in a poem, I wonder. Actually, that just brings up the question of how you would end up using "Tumblr" in a poem.
Well...
About five minutes after I woke up this morning, I found out via dashboard that a tumblr poet had been found dead this morning (possibly by suicide). I'd actually seen a 'help us find this missing girl' post with her picture a few days ago.
So, I spent the first hour or so of my day learning about this girl and looking through her tumblr. It was frequently updated, right up to the day where she went missing. It was...emotional, I guess, and a bit depressing, to see so much of her after she's gone. When she was happy, when she was depressed and thinking about dying, when she was poking fun at her boyfriend (who's gone suicidal after hearing news of her death). And then my emotions got in a twist and I decided to work them out through poetry.
SJWs seem to think that anyone who doesn't agree with them is a cis, white, straight, christian (rare cases i think) and male. And the person disagreeing with them is a POC, said person is White-passing.
Does anyone remember when this thread was positive? :D That lasted 8 months and less than half of a page. The other 16 pages and one month since have been dedicated to complaining! My mommy once told me that if I didn't have anything nice to say, I shouldn't say anything at all.
You're absolutely right
let's go ahead and steer this thread in a positive manner and exhaust every favorable thing we can say about Tumblr before we go back to talking about what a festering cyst on the internet that it's become. I will be the first.
Tumblr is a website.
That done, good show everybody, now back to our regular programming
really corporal for future reference this is what tumblr looks like, it is not like a big den of hate really unless you follow stupid blogs that are large dens of hate, but the only people who follow those are people who themselves run vile-den-of-hate blogs.
Yeah I have like one person I follow who re8logs den-of-h8 stuff, other than that it is kittens and Homestuck and roleplay stuff and the occasional signal 8oost for someone needing a place to stay or a missing person.

Yes, I am aware, teenage fangirl sexuality is kind of terrifying, but I wish people would cut them some more slack.
It’s not like there are many role models of open, healthy, balanced sexual expression for ladies out there, because most of them just get shamed into hiding at the first mention of their desires.

Many of the venues that display white tigers have a long history of shading the truth about their mutants. The Cincinnati Zoo, an otherwise respectable institution, labels their white tigers as a “species at risk!” Nowhere on the zoo’s website or at its tiger enclosures does it point out that this species at risk is in fact an ecologically useless hybrid of Bengal and Siberian strains, inbred at the zoo’s own facility for big money. The Cincinnati Zoo repeatedly bredclosely related animals over the past few decades to produce more of the white tigers, which they sold for around $60,000 each.
I think NPR just told the Cincinnati Zoo to go fuck itself.

oh okay
I never really go look, I only hear about what crazy stupid shit happens in there sometime -- but certainly don't judge everyone who uses tumblr as being that fucking insane. I know that most everyone here has one and they don't get swept up in the stupidity
Deep in the Costa Rican jungle, a fisherman named Chito discovered a crocodile that had been shot in the eye by a cattle farmer and left for dead. Chito was able to drag the massive reptile into his boat and brought him to his home, where he stayed by his side for months, nursing him back to health.
He named the croc Pocho. “I stayed by Pocho’s side while he was ill, sleeping next to him at night. I just wanted him to feel that somebody loved him, that not all humans are bad.” said Chito, ““It meant a lot of sacrifice. I had to be there every day. I love all animals – especially ones that have suffered.”
The day finally came when Pocho was strong enough to go back into the wild. Chito took him to a lake near his house and released him, but the animal simply got back out of the water and followed him home.
“Then I found out that when I called his name he would come over to me.” says Chito. The fisherman has been hesitant to tell his story, even though 20 years have passed since he first rescued Pocho.
Pocho is roughly 5.18 meters (17 feet) long. He and Chito play, wrestle and hug on a daily basis. That bond, Chito said, took years to forge.
“After a decade I started to work with him.”, says Chito casually, “At first it was slow, slow. I played with him a bit, slowly doing more.”
Chito has told his story now only to raise awareness of the cruelty that can be done to animals, and the difference that affection and treating other rightly can make.
“He’s my friend, I don’t want to treat him like a slave or exploit him.” said Chito, “I am happy because I rescued him and he is happy with me because he has everything he needs.”

well I was going to post the five most recent things that showed up on my tumblr, but vanilla decided to delete my post.
So, know that it was three drawings, a video embed of music from some game I've never played, and an article about shady zoo practices.
Indeed. I'm totally gonna use the dustpan one next time I have to mop the kitchen.
I came up with "Pika-queue" and mad e a queue of Pikachu.
sometimes you also find useful stuff (lifehacks) on tumblr. Most of this is, I guess, via reddit, but I don't really go on reddit.

Most people don't consider scary animals to be capable of sympathy or gratitude. This is a decent, if anecdotal, counterargument.
