Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
Nice one✅👌👍

social media isn't really interesting for me anymore. if i'm gonna be online, i want what i'm doing to actually contribute something to my life and others' lives. inspiration, knowledge, support. and i do get that here, sometimes. i get that on youtube, sometimes. but by god i need to stop scrolling. especially on youtube shorts and tiktok (uninstalled tiktok once again).
but also like. social media feels really lonely now. people like a post, or reblog it. maybe they'll talk in the tags, but people don't often add on in the actual post. there's not many conversations to be had. but i am grateful for the people who do reply or send asks, and we get to talk to a bit. those interactions honestly are why i still come on tumblr sometimes.
it's good to know i can help people, and that people see me and support me as well. guess i just want to lean into that more.
alright folks listen up. i’m not seeing this addressed anywhere so i’m gonna say it myself.
if any of you have the google app (i have iphone, i’m not sure if it’s the same with other os) then you will know you can scroll through the little articles on the front page.
if you don’t like an article or a topic, you can hit the little … menu button that looks like this:
and then a few choices will show up that you can customise your feed with. ie see less of this topic (choose which of the article topics you want to see less of) or see less from this source (ie block articles from a site from showing up)
WHEN THERE ARE ARTICLES ABPUT TRUMP, YOU ARE NOT GIVEN THE OPTION TO SEE LESS OF THIS TOPIC. YOU CANT EVEN CHOOSE A TOPIC. ALL YOU CAN DO IS BLOCK THE SOURCE.
i am so sick of seeing his stupid orange face and hearing daily about fascists and nazis.
i don’t know the word for it but its like the opposite of censorship. never showing what you should see like protests or progress. instead only showing what they want you to see. it’s bullshit.
can someone with more political knowledge than me please explain whether or not this is illegal? i certainly feel like it should be!
Encountered one of those annoying election bots recently, (it was trump ew) so I hit ‘em with that. Thought tumblr would appreciate

HEY PLEASE READ !!
if you guys AT ALL enjoy using the internet whether it's for news, entertainment, or communication purposes there is a bill floating around right now that has a good possibility of being passed that will influence the way we ALL use the internet. this bill is called KOSA and it presents itself as "kids online safety act" but in reality it is and will try to sensor SO much important information out there about LGBTQ+, POC communities, feminism and women's rights, and so much more. the bill targets mainly people under 17 but this bill will affect adults too. your favorite social media and websites will become highly cleansed from anything the government deems as "dangerous" to children online. one of the ways they are trying to ensure kids aren't accessing content that is "dangerous" enforces EVERYONE to upload private information or a photo of your ID to access social media apps and websites. IF YOU CARE AT ALL ABOUT PROTECTING FREE SPEACH ON THE INTERNET AND THE WAY WE USE IT TO COMMUNICATE PLEASE HELP ENSURE THAT THIS BILL DOES NOT PASS.
CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS TO SHOE THAT YOU DO NOT SUPPORT THE KOSA BILL.
PLEASE REBLOG AND SHARE !!!!
