One Thing That I Think Facebook And YouTube Do Better Than Tumblr Is Giving People The Ability To Opt
One thing that I think Facebook and YouTube do better than Tumblr is giving people the ability to opt out of specific ads.
Especially being able to tell them that the reason you don't want to see that ad is because it's not relevant to you.
I don't mind a reasonable number of ads in exchange for a free service, but the ones here on Tumblr are so horrifically misaimed and there's no way to tell them that.

The whole thing (more than 216000 words in three stories) was riddled with the sort of grammar errors you get when you trust your spell check too much. To/too/two mixed up, "there" when it should have been "their", and so on.
I'm only a grammar purist when I'm professionally required to be, but the mistakes in this one were significant enough to be a distraction from the story. Which is a shame, because like I said, the STORY was really good.
It was like trying to walk a trail through beautiful scenery, but not being able to relax and enjoy the beauty because you keep stubbing your toe on roots and rocks sticking up in the middle of the path.
I get so frustrated with myself sometimes. I have THOUGHTS about a serious topic, but when I try to express them, they never make as much sense to other people as they did in my head.
Not that I think it's particularly likely anyone will want to...
bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements
Lyrical Ballad, in Saratoga Springs, NY is one of my favorite used bookstores in the world.
Twitter thread by Melissa Caruso about a labyrinthine magical bookstore in Syracuse, NY. Link to the first tweet in the thread; most pictures have image descriptions! Now here are the screenshots of that thread:

You know what would be cool? A story about a mideval Strong Rebellious Warrior Woman... who actually enjoys sewing and embroidery. Like, yes she dreams of riding horses through the fields and swinging a sword, but is also looking forward to returning home after a long day of fighting to finish that really cool lapel piece shes been working on all month.
I've also considered stargazing and archery.
