Anyway the last point I have to make here is that even if tumblr breaks under the algorithm (almost certain if they don’t back out of using it) and/or everybody leaves… I don’t have anywhere else to go or post things
people like to joke about it being bad, but I legitimately really like Tumblr. it actually feels like a blogging platform in a world where facebook and twitter are active political weapons that manipulate us elections. i don’t feel like i’m baring myself to content i don’t want to see here, or having to engage with a popularity-focused culture. the content isn’t sorted to influence you or trick you. it’s a bunch of people being themselves on their own terms. it’s oldnet.
yes, i do use other websites, but i’m not interested in posting personal things to any of them. this was a place i had control over and i’ll stay with it until i can’t. and when that happens there’ll be nothing left.
99.9% of the time, the phrase “identifies as” is completely unnecessary in whatever you’re saying. Instead of saying “identifies as” you can just say “is” and it will almost always be more accurate, more clear, and less invalidating.
if i were in a gay space and some idiot from this website was like “uh excuse me can you and your girlfriend not hold hands?? i’m romance repulsed and it makes me uncomfortable” i literally would knock their teeth out
you know damn well these people dont leave their houses
*pro-curse arospec laughs maniacally at you two fools* oh, my word *wipes tear away*
pro-curse arospec laughs maniacally
it means theyre a witch who practices cursing asdsfdsas theyre literally threatening to curse yall
yeah this is the same person who cursed @bobavader‘s womb on twitter because she said that drawing cute fanart of ted bundy was creepy. so i’d be careful if i were you
There’s a reason for this, and you’re (hopefully) not gonna like it.
Corgis have short legs because they’ve got two copies of a gene that results in the overproduction of a protein called fibroblast growth factor 4 (FGF4). What FGF4 does is turn on certain growth receptors at the wrong time during fetal development, which causes the short legs. All corgis and corgi crosses with the short legs have chondrodysplastic dwarfism. This on its own wouldn’t necessarily be a problem, but when you cross in other breed traits, you can end up with a poorly-balanced dog that suffers neck and back pain its entire life, as well as having an increased risk of spinal abnormalities and intervertebral disk disease. Not every corgi mix is going to have these issues, and many are quite healthy, but it’s not a good idea to just throw a corgi at a random dog and see what sticks.
I’m willing to bet that a lot of these dogs aren’t even corgi mixes. Dwarfism can pop up unexpectedly in other populations of dogs.
