He Would Love That

Hey @staff , do you give the same attention and promotion to users who study actual science?

The Coolest Teen Astrologers Are on Tumblr

Horoscopes and sun signs used to be relegated to the back of monthly magazines. Now, a new generation of chart readers are using Tumblr to follow the stars (and each other).

…[I]t also makes sense that the way most people are introduced to Tumblr’s astrology is through a good meme. The most common formats for this bait either apply to a specific cosmic event or characterize each of the zodiac signs via pop culture or life experiences.

Congratulations to The Ringer-certified Cool Teen Astrologers Kuranda Elwood (@astroalive), Alexis Duong (@ayyries), Marina Hima (@astrologymarina), and Cherry (@astrolocherry) for making the news. We assume they knew Capricorn season would prove fruitful. 

Update : I still don't know how to use the fancy font 😕

Hey Tumblr, do you know what terror feels like? Volunteering at a camp and suddenly seeing thick black smoke and FUCKING FLAMES, one year after the camp had ALREADY burned down and we had worked our asses off to rebuild it. Seeing 160 kids cry, scream, complain, clap every time they saw firemen. Singing about Jesus holding you in his hands, while inwardly screaming for your daddy. Realising that your phone is literally working on 1%. Spending a chaotic afternoon without food, water and a toilet, while trying to keep all these children occupied. Returning to camp at 1:00 PM, with no water and power. Finally being able to sleep long after midnight, and being jolted awake when the fire re-ignited. Reading news the next day, and seeing that you were the lucky one.

i never talk about these things but i can’t remain silent.

i know tumblr doesn’t give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside the “most popular ones” (such as the usa & england). it’s true, don’t lie to me. y’all don’t give A FUCK. not every issue and problem in said countries gets the appropriate exposure but in general shit shows up on the news WORLD FREAKING  WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you say “pray for x”……

southern europe is burning. 

my country is burning.

people are dying - at home, on the road, trying to run away, in their cars.

yesterday my country had 300 active fires.

people are losing EVERYTHING they own.

i have a friend that is on a train right now passing through places that have been burnt to the ground and she says the smoke is so intense it’s getting inside the train and she can barely breathe.

and yet, even though several people (myself included) have been trying to bring awareness to what has been happening in southern europe… what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we don’t ask for money, we don’t ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awareness… something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish. 

i don’t know what to tell you. i’m angry. i’m frustrated. i’m disappointed. i feel like i’m screaming into the void. “a reblog does nothing” - you know that’s a damn lie, you know exposure always helps, you know people start paying attention when posts on social media become popular. my country in particular is a small one, we get ZERO exposure. y’all are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit we’ve been winning lately. 

but hell, if the EU doesn’t give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?

again, i don’t know what to tell you so i’ll let the images speak for themselves:

Some people seem to think that Palpatine being back (at least as a clone) is ok because the same thing happened in legends. It's not ok. Bringing him back was a bad decision in legends and it's a bad decision now.

The operator: thanks for turning yourselves in
