Okay so I did some research, very basic research, on the user base of tumblr and how many of us there are.
There are at least 300 million unique visitors worldwide on this site. Over 500 million blogs.
Listen. Tumblr is $30 million in debt. This is Super easy for us to solve.
If each user gifts one blog crabs, which costs slightly over $3, that would be roughly $600 million at least. Far more than enough to get Tumblr out of the red zone.
If we want tumblr to stay afloat and not change something as integral about their operating system, we need to show them they can be profitable without reducing themselves to common social media sites. What we have here is special. It is different. We are the social media site people run to when theirs collapses and for good reason.
If we want this to work, we have to make it work. We can even make it into a game. Just how long can we outlast the other social media sites?
Yes that’s exactly what I’m saying.
It needs to be a holiday. Pick a date a few weeks from now, and just make it Crab Day. Maybe a Saturday as a lot of people are paid on Fridays. Just in case this post becomes more popular than any I’ve had before, lets set the date as the last Saturday in July (which for us in 2023 will be July 29th.)
On July 29th, gift as many crabs as you can without breaking the bank. Post crab memes if you cannot afford a crab.
Tumblr can pull this off. Tumblr likes doing things like this.

I mean, you look out the window and see this dude on the wing, staring at you peeing instead of ripping up an engine, you’ve just saved the lives of everyone on the plane. You’re a hero. You’re a damn hero.

Time for manual blazing, tumblr can be a coward but they can’t stop us.

Look. I’m going to be honest with you. Adopting that hard anti-plastic surgery stance while trans people’s lives and right to transition is at stake is absolutely horrendous timing. Knock it off.
Plastic surgery saves and rebuilds lives. While anti-aging culture and lookism are both detrimental to society, it’s important to remember that plastic surgery is healthcare.
People in the tags are nottttt getting it. I’m saying you should address the societal influences that lead young women to seek plastic surgery before you seek to villianize the plastics field and/or limit access to healthcare to anyone. Plastic surgery is healthcare.
I am not making this a ‘trans people versus feminists against lookism’ issue. You may require plastic surgery in your lifetime as well. Anyone could. The line of where plastic surgery is frivolous and driven by vanity or necessary for maintaining or creating a greater quality of life is far thinner than you think. That nose job may have been motivated by Eurocentric beauty standards or it may have been motivated by the desire to correct a deviated septum. I am saying that at a time when we are all losing our bodily autonomy and access to medical care at an alarming rate, now is not the time to be writing treatises on why access to certain forms of healthcare is bad.
My spine stopped going out of alignment when I had a breast reduction. Plastic surgery is for more than just cosmetic reasons.

“you should care about disabled people because you might be disabled one day” extremely fucking annoying
actually you should just care about people because they’re alive. there are many many many chronic illnesses and disabilities you cannot get thru age or accident or infection. there are truly rare chronic illnesses and disabilities that very few people in the world have
and you should still care
“why should i have to do this when it affects maybe 2 people” because even if it were just 2 people those 2 people are human beings. that’s why. human beings deserve respect and inclusion and safety
if you make any “but that’s probably only like 2 people” exceptions you are contributing to the belief that people who cannot contribute, people white supremacy and capitalism find undesirable, are not welcome in society and should not be treated like the human beings that they are. that we’re better off either staying locked in our houses forever or dying. that we’re an acceptable sacrifice so you can continue your fun free life unburdened from the pain of needing to add alt text to an image, caption a video, wear a mask, or host your event in a location that is accessible to wheelchair users. to include us. to bring us in from the cold
you should just care because we’re alive.

the pride discourse is absolutely rancid this year, i have seen with my own two eyes so far
- we should up to age of consent to 21
- 16 year olds shouldn’t know what sex is
- drag is inherently sexual and inappropriate for children
I will say it again:
Kids are horny. Kids will be horny no matter what. Teach them to have safe sex with other kids that they know and trust and want to have sex with, not with their weird boyfriend who keeps saying “But you said you love me, so this should be fine, right?”
Teach them consent is important. That they can say no halfway through. That if your partner says no halfway through, you have to stop and respect that and understand that doesn’t mean they hate you.
For fuck’s sake “abstinence” hasn’t helped anyone. Teach kids about sex and keep them safe.
But also, some kids just aren’t horny, and we should also tell those kids they aren’t broken and their boundaries and consent matter just as much as for their peers who are horny.
All of this is true.
The important parts are:
1) All kids should know the actual truth about how sex works before they reach the age where they can become pregnant or make someone else pregnant. The number of people who end up dealing with a pregnancy before they learn how that happens is unfortunately not zero.
2) All kids should know how best to protect against possible unwanted consequences of sex, like pregnancy and disease. They should be taught how to prepare, and they should also be taught what to do if they forget to prepare protection, the protection fails, or G-d forbid, they are assaulted. Plan B and post-exposure prophylaxis are things that they should be able to get if needed.
3) All kids should know that some people naturally become horny when their hormones get going, some people take a while to get there, and some people NEVER EVER get horny, and all of this is OK and fine and 100% normal for humans.
4) All kids should be taught–from birth onward–that they never have to let anyone touch them without their consent, and they are not allowed to touch other people without their consent. Yes this means you can’t spank your kids; yes this means you can’t make them kiss Grandma if they don’t want to; yes this means that you can’t act like unwanted pursuit of another child is cute because they’re 5, because in 10 years it will not be cute at all. It might even mean long discussions about why we agree to let doctors do things to us that hurt sometimes, and this is a pain in the ass, but sometimes good parenting is going to be a pain in the ass.
As someone abused by doctors as a child and an adult, it’s super important to teach your child that consent applies to doctors too. Consent applies to all authority figures. Teaching kids that no one can touch them without their consent except for certain people with extra power over them is setting them up to think abuse from authority is normal and something they’re supposed to put up with.
Your body belongs to you, someone who is supposed to help you take care of your body does not have the right to coerce you

Commissions Are Open!!!
You can find all related information on my ko-fi page.
The smallest listing is a set of 1.5x1.5 inch quilted pins/magnets and the largest is a queen size quilt. Here are a few examples:
If you want a nifty alternative to using a Yuletide tree, save space, and a place to display pins, I can make a tree wallhanging for you. This is one I made for myself using colors I love. Halloween themed? Black and white? I can do that.
Here are a couple of my favorites. Visual drama is fantastic, especially for bland spaces. Why be bland (shades of oatmeal) when you can be bold (using colors)?
If you’re nervous about design, just give me a theme or color palette. Or free reign and a size range. I also have finished quilt tops you can choose from for me to make into completed quilts for you.
Remember, quilts can serve many uses, from home decor to bedding and more. I know several pagans who use table runners and table mats for their altars! Displaying a wallhanging will help absorb echoes and even aid in insulation, much like tapestries. Mug rugs protect a surface from a hot mug/cup of tea, and coasters under hot candleholder can help protect the surface beneath them.
Commissions will close August 1st, or when I feel I have enough, giving me time to finish what I have and work on seasonal things.
If you cannot pay the full amount upfront, contact me. I accept monthly installments with 50% of the finished price upfront.
Please reblog! If you’ve received my work in the past, I i would really appreciate if you reblog with pics and a review. Thank you!
Update! The following slots are now closed
- Pins and magnets
- Coasters
- Placemats
I have mug rugs, table mats, table runners, lap quilts and larger, all available still. Better snatch those up before commissions close on August 1st.
Foundation paper piecing commission options are no longer available due to my wrist brace making it extremely difficult to do the work. Sorry!
