Why do we, as humans, tell stories? All of them could technically apply, but pick the one that feels most right to you.

So we can make our lives better somehow

It's the best way to make sense of the world

Just because we like to

It's the best way to make sense of ourselves

Stories help us establish our identities

Can't help it; we are made of stories

It helps us shape our sense of right and wrong

Sorry, no free space on this one. I want real answers because I believe this question is at the heart of what makes us people. Reblog (please and thank you <3) for larger sample size, etc.

when gerard way sings "the broken, the beaten, and the damned" and when kermit the frog sings "the lovers, the dreamers, and me" they're talking about the same people btw

All hope is not lost

I really want people to focus on the "hours later" component. Conservatives and non-voters have been harping about Biden being a do-nothing president, but this is absolutely not the case.

Do not fall for the apathy, do not engage in purism, and do not surrender to despair.

Tumblr, buddy, listen to me. This is an unprecedented opportunity. You can snap up all of the pie here, and become defacto internet goodguy easy. All you gotta do is... drop the nsfw ban. Unambiguously. Announce that dicks are back on the menu. You want people subscribed the blogs? You want people to actually use your Post+ function? Porn. Let us use it for porn. The youngins aren't joining this site anyway, you're not competing with tiktok. The vaguely horny 20-40 demographic though? You can have that. You can have all of that. Think about it.

Do you know how many pinup artists alone are itching to come back to tumblr, but dont because of the unclear, seemingly arbitrary application of your nsfw policy? These are insanely talented people who are practically begging to give you content. For free. But you gotta change the policy. We can't keep dancing around this. Just think of publicity. The drama. A complete 180. You'd kill it tumblr. You could make it happen. Please.
