“
People say, ‘I’m going to sleep now,’ as if it were nothing. But it’s really a bizarre activity. ‘For the next several hours, while the sun is gone, I’m going to become unconscious, temporarily losing command over everything I know and understand. When the sun returns, I will resume my life.
If you didn’t know what sleep was, and you had only seen it in a science fiction movie, you would think it was weird and tell all your friends about the movie you’d seen.
They had these people, you know? And they would walk around all day and be OK? And then, once a day, usually after dark, they would lie down on these special platforms and become unconscious. They would stop functioning almost completely, except deep in their minds they would have adventures and experiences that were completely impossible in real life. As they lay there, completely vulnerable to their enemies, their only movements were to occasionally shift from one position to another; or, if one of the ‘mind adventures’ got too real, they would sit up and scream and be glad they weren’t unconscious anymore. Then they would drink a lot of coffee.’
So, next time you see someone sleeping, make believe you’re in a science fiction movie. And whisper, ‘The creature is regenerating itself.

+: We really need to take a stand against Tumblr. I want to propose the idea of a Tumblr blackout. →

Tumblr is not very good about organizing itself or taking action. Most people on tumblr will happily reblog something, but totally avoid actually going out of their way to get things done.
Most recently, Tumblr has destroyed our messaging system, told us that our conversations were not askbox worthy, taken away our sidebars, and yesterday, once again attempted to take away/ruin missing E.
I would love to propose a tumblr blackout. A day where as many people as possible refuse to log into tumblr to let them know that they can’t keep ruining our website.
The problem right now is that we keep having these problems and instead of telling Karp to stick it, we all just groan about it and move on and try to adapt. Because there is no dip in userbase, the people who run Tumblr will do whatever they want. They don’t care about the users. They just care about the numbers…and because we keep using tumblr, they keep ruining it and getting away with it.
I am 100% dead serious about taking a stand, but I don’t want to do anything official unless I know that at least 1K people are behind me. Ideally, many more…but I want to set the bar low for now. So if you actually want to show Karp that you won’t take these abuses laying down, please like this…or better yet, reblog it so other people will be notified. Once I know people are behind me, I will actually organize something. If this ends up being a flop, I guess it will be a flop.
