ok ok. rb and tag do you know what the prev blog's blog title is referencing

here's your fucking feedback @staff

list of problems the removal of icons causes:

• i cant see my friends
• ruins the sense of community
• can't tell at a glance who's online right now and what they're interested in
• literally cannot tell without scrolling back up who put a post on my dash if it has a single addition attached to it. or like. 2 paragraphs in the op.
• i cant click my own icon at the top of the dash to quickly view my own blog
• can't tell who someone used to be if they change their username
• squashes the margins between the menu and posts, making the whole dash feel more cramped
• ruins the quick visual cue of how long each post is and where it ends when you're trying to scroll past ones youve seen before
• people put a lot of creativity and individuality into icons, and now i never see them
• makes people who primarily reblog instead of make their own posts all but completely disappear

list of problems solved by removing icons:

• ?????
• who the fuck was asking for this
• ive never in my life seen a website or app that has profile pics forcibly HIDE them, so i guess you did it you made the dash unique again in the worst way

here's some more feedback: maybe when you run an a/b test you should, idk, actually have a feedback form people can fill out about it somewhere

@staff

It's not exactly what you mean in that it's not specifically for this a/b group thing but...

THERE IS A FEEDBACK FORM YOU CAN FILL OUT!!!

Click Help at the bottom right of the screen (might have to scroll a little bit to get it)

At the top of your screen, tap Contact Support, and it will open a sidebar.

On the Choose a category for support option, choose Feedback.

Fill out the rest of the form with your feedback and be as civil as possible while getting your points across.

If you're on mobile:

Tap the profile button, then enter your settings.

Under General Settings, which should be the first option available to select, scroll down until you see Help.

Scroll the page to the bottom until you see Contact Support, and tap it.

And like on desktop, you select Feedback from the dropdown menu for Choose a category for support.

I have no idea how effective this is, but considering it's one of the few ways to actually contact staff and support that gets you a response (you'll receive an email reply eventually!), it's worth a shot

from this ask polly

ceramics i've found over the last few years :)

Being a member of Flint’s crew must be exhausting. Twice a week you’re put in an impossible, desperate situation then the captain does something unhinged and saves the day in a way no one understands but everyone has come to expect anyway. He tells you to do something, you do it; two hours later, he tells you to do the exact opposite and you do it too (he makes a compelling argument). The crew voted him off six times already and somehow he’s still captain; no one has anything to say about it. There’s no way he’ll wriggle out of this one, you tell yourself for the eighth time this month. No one wants to die for him. You’ll all do whatever he wants you to do. He can control the weather.

so idk if they teach you this in drivers’ ed class or whatever, but if you see someone in the opposite direction flashing their high beams at you, they’re NOT being a dick. they’re saying, “SLOW DOWN, I just saw a police car back there”.

If I hadn’t known that today, I wouldn’t have noticed the police car hiding in its fox hole and gotten a ticket for going 20 over the speed limit. and I’m glad I don’t have to pay $80 for a dumb mistake!!!

In deer country this is also used to warn others about a herd up ahead. In either case, the double flash means that some nonsense is occurring and ya gotta slow down!

Double-flash also means “turn on your headlights”. Basically, if someone’s flashing their brights, pay super-close attention and figure out what’s going on.

They could ALSO be flashing them to tell you to turn YOUR brights off because you’re blinding them! It’s common courtesy to turn your brights off for oncoming traffic, but not everyone knows this~

I’ve also seen it used to warn of an accident ahead. Basically anytime someone flashes their brights at you, if your own lights are 1) on, and 2) not on bright, you can take it to mean “slow down and pay attention for the next stretch of road particularly.”

Whether that’s for a speed trap, a herd of deer, or four fire trucks, two ambulances, and a dozen squad cars all clustered around what used to be two vehicles, slowing down and paying attention is good for you and can save you a lot of money and/or heartache.

Yeah just a heads up. If you start judging people by bodyshape in any way I'll kick you right in the teeth. Have fun describing someone's face shape as inferior when your jaw is gone

We're not fucking around here. X

And while I was digging around for information, I landed on this:

so yeah that fire in Lahaina, Maui? That was what indigenous activists were trying to prevent. That is why Land Back movements wants indigenous people to be the stewards of the land that was once theirs. Not kick out white people and settlers. But to prevent shit like that where a bunch of tourists/settlers won't destroy the planet in their ruthless pursuit of productivity and profit. So yeah, think on that.

Actually Captain Jack Harkness is SO important. During a time when we couldn't get a single queer on screen in most shows and even those few we did get ended up dead 90% of the time, he was not only openly bisexual, he was openly bisexual and LITERALLY unable to die.

They buried that gay and he still dug himself up and kept fucking

You cannot hide this in the tags, bestie. This is too lovely to keep a secret.
