also huge fan of the way we’ve gone from taylor thinking “nobody knows this [somewhat obscure song from her discography] so i won’t play it as a surprise song” to “i’m actively on a mission to sing songs that haven’t been played live before at all or in a very long time”
my hot take is that i like all of the “tumblr poets” and i think that the common literary language of what is largely girls in their teens and twenties on this website is one of the most beautiful things to happen to poetry if not literature in a while

“oh they’re not taking away chronological dashboard, well everything’s okay then” they also said in the post they’re making reblogs collapsed (like comments on twitter) so you won’t see the full conversation in a post. they also won’t get rid of tumblr live despite it being an annoying and cancerous data-miner that isn’t legal in much of the world. they won’t even let you opt out of tumblr live for more than seven days. they implemented a terrible photo viewer that mimics tiktok and makes it so you can’t zoom in on images. they took away the ability to view prev tags. they’re making it so you have to sign in with your email to view almost any thing on tumblr. they’ve already made it so you have to sign in to send asks, even on anon. they’re slowly phasing out custom blog themes.
the things that make tumblr at all usable and favored by us– the older web blog features, the anonymity– that is still being taken away. it HAS been being taken away for some time now. i am urging you people to reveiwbomb the tumblr app. force them to acknowledge that users do not like these changes.
no because you don’t understand not only did she sing long live WITH the koi fish guitar, she lined up her band and singers with her, did the long live air punch, and the “this is absurd” hands. everyone in that crowd better watch out. i am under their beds.
