how staff decisions are made at tumblr

Manager: ok sorry for bringing you all in for a morning meeting but it's kind of urgent

Dave, an australian: its midnight here, fuck you.

Manager: yeah sorry dave. it's just. people have been talking and. we're still short on money.

Moss, already on xeir fourth cup of coffee for the day and tired of everyone's shit: how the fuck are we short on money again.

Edna, who definitely doesn't have a suspicious secret tumblr blog about organ harvesting: have we tried selling everyone's organs?

Manager: thats the fourth time this month you've suggested that, Edna, the answer is still 'no'.

Edna: >:-(

Keith, who is definitely high and has been using his phone instead of paying attention to the meeting: omg... twitter users have to pay eight dollars a month to get verified now lmaoooooo. Hey wait guys you know what would be funny?

programmers, already writing out code: yep, on it.

Manager: and the employee of the month award goes to Keith

already got a blazed marvel post. the adpocalypse is closer than we think so heres your daily PSA

don't interact with corporate tumblr accounts

yes even to dunk on them. i don't care if you have the sickest burn of the century lined up, don't even give them the time of day

the eventual and inevitable fall of twitter marks a change in the advertising industry, and tumblr is unclaimed territory. if we want tumblr to remain the social media bastion it has become, it needs to remain as unappealing to corporations as possible. do not engage. in a marketing strategist's eyes, any kind of attention is good attention. don't "silence, brand" them. don't kungpowpenis them. don't send them hate anons. don't hate-follow them. corporate tumblrs are not a single entity and they will not be harassed off this site. we only have a shot at repelling them because of tumblr's lack of an algorithm. so turn off recommended posts on your dashboard, put it chronological order, and install an adblocker. if you don't seek out these blazed posts and actively ignore them when they happen upon you, the corporations will starve. in this case, the best kind of protest is a silent one

We are going to the Moon!

At 1:47 a.m. EST on Nov. 16, 2022, our Orion spacecraft launched aboard the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket from historic Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on a path to the Moon, officially beginning the Artemis I mission.

This mission is the first integrated test of NASA’s deep space exploration systems: the Orion spacecraft, the SLS rocket, and Kennedy ground systems. This is the very first time this rocket and spacecraft have flown together, and it’s the first of many Artemis missions to the Moon. Artemis I is uncrewed, but it lays the groundwork for increasingly complex missions that will land humans on the lunar surface, including the first woman and the first person of color to do so.

With Artemis, we will build a long-term human presence on the Moon and prepare humanity for future exploration plans to Mars and beyond.

See more photos of Artemis I on our Flickr.

Tumblr engineering...

We do what we must, because we can.

For the good of all of us,

Except the ones who are banned.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.

You just keep on trying till you run out of bells.

And the engineering gets done, and you dev some neat crabs,

For the people who are still around

jupiter & the galilean moons

Which path should he choose?

The path of the warrior, the path of the scholar, or the path of the artist?
