CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it's part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions
if CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators

This is the oldest undeleted Post on Tumblr, posted October 24th, 2006. It has a Post ID of 53, so technically it was the 53rd Post ever created.
.......why is tumblr desktop laid out like twitter now.
ah.
- the font on the dropdown menus on the left are hard to read and eye-strainy
- clicking "activity" gives you a dropdown menu first instead of taking you to the actual page
- tag search seems slower...? (could be my bad internet though)
- it's honestly less "comfortable" imo to navigate when everything isn't naturally on the upper right
- oh this is so cluttered. i miss having empty blue space on the left; this feels... loud and annoying.
- if i wanted to use twitter or facebook, i would use twitter or facebook. but i'm using tumblr.
tumblr, i've complained a lot about many of your changes over the years, but blatantly reskinning yourself as twitter is maybe the worst ones right next to the beta editor.
why are we changing for the new users? this website isn't hard to learn. it's charm lies in not being like every other social media website.
for those lucky enough to have not been hit by the update yet, this is what i'm talking about:
opened the settings dropdown menu so you can see the font. now, admittedly, some things on the right like the tag replacer and tag tracking have been added with xkit, but the main issue is everything going on on the left.
again, it's not a big deal. i will inevitably get used to it just like i got used to the beta editor even though i also still hate the beta editor for making it harder to format anything, but it really makes me raise my brows that tumblr is leaning harder into looking like other social media.
i genuinely don't know what to do in this situation. leave staff feedback and low reviews on the app store? throw some money at them in case it's a money issue and they're doing this because they're dying against the competition?
kind of wish staff would be open and transparent with us about why they're making these changes so we know how to better support them so they don't have to do this. because even though tumblr says they're not going to force algorithms on us or change the chronological dash, the gradual morph into looking and behaving like other social media does not instill me with a lot of confidence.
anyway, i don't wanna clog anyone's dash with too much negativity on what is ultimately a small matter. i just gotta grimace and get the unease for tumblr's future out of my system. sad as it is to say, this is one of the very few places that i can still find some scrap of serotonin and i hate thinking about it eventually becoming unusable for the things i like using it for. never mind the fact that it's still arguably the best place for creatives to share their work. once tumblr isn't that anymore, i'm not sure where artists are supposed to go, because even the sites dedicated to sharing artwork don't have the longevity and community that tumblr does. just a bit disappointing is all.
