Also: going to these places puts pressure and demand on the company. Demand they can't meet without actors and writers. That puts stress on them, and stress is good.

^^^^ive been looking for a rb with this addition because YES. if a customer wants a burger and there is no cook to make it, that puts pressure on the owner to pay the cook what they want so the customer will still give them money. if there is no customer, the owner has no reason for the cook to make burgers

Stop watching IF AND ONLY IF the unions call for a boycott. For the time being since they haven't, streaming the shows actually helps. You're not crossing a picket line to watch because that picket line does not exist unless a boycott is called for.

so many young teens feel the need to have a snappy comeback, to explain you could never be cishet bc you’re actually t4t!! or whatever but like. just. don’t say any of that. they love that shit, they eat it up. do what u can to bore them into stopping. and sometimes they dont stop, and that sucks too but like. you do not want to get in public arguments with people who can hurt you more than you think they can, its not cowardly to delete discourse posts and shit if you feel like you can’t handle the notifications anymore. like just. you may not be able to completly prevent this stuff but take a few steps if you can, it will at least lower your chances

we need stamp patches with the most absurd discourse on them. fuck I wish I had an embroidery machine.

i'm not saying creative block isn't a real or difficult phenomenon. i'm saying creatives have a tendency to neglect themselves physically and emotionally in favor of manic bursts of productivity. a little softness and clean sheets and a bagel will go a long way. make a playlist and light the fancy candle you've been saving for a special occasion. life is a special occasion.

Always a good reminder.

not to be like "source? 🤓" but... do you have a source on this? I don't really keep up with tumblr update news and I'm unable to find anything about this

turns out that tumblrs wip blog has no update about this??? im not sure why that is, but i found out through this post and the fact that some of my mutuals have already changed their pfps to gifs (one of my friends kindly changed their gif pfp a second time after i told them the first gif was hard on my eyes <3)

ive seen some people say it doesnt show up for them (dunno if its regional, being rolled out slowly, or some other reason), but i can see it on my dash so it already directly affects me

Just so you all are aware, it's because of the webp format. webp's can be animated, (similar to apngs + gifs) and you've probably been able to have moving icons for a while. webp's aren't covered by tumblr's anti movement code (this is my theory), so technically it's a bug. I believe there should be an extension that changes this behavior, (forcing webp's to load as stills instead of moving)

I'll do some testing of various extensions and update this post with extensions that work (for firefox and chrome)

Here- you can also right click to tell it to bypass if you want to see the gif. It doesn't freeze the gif on the first frame, instead blocking it entirely, however, if you need this for medical reasons, this should be a good bandaid solution for now
