So if you’re thinking of chucking Tumblr in light of the latest news, Pillowfort and Dreamwidth are a couple of fandom-friendly platforms to consider.

Dreamwidth pros:  It’s an established site with a proven business model and a pre-existing community.  Cons:  Site design is old-fashioned and clunky, and there’s very little native graphics hosting capability.

Pillowfort pros:  Visually and functionally much more modern.  Easier for  Tumblr users to understand and navigate.  Cons: still in beta; very bare-bones feature wise.  Don’t know how quickly they’ll be able to develop the site or how well their business plan will work.

Both of them were established with fandom in mind and (gasp) have their users as a first priority.  Neither depend on advertisements.  Both allow NSFW content.  Both are small companies with limited staff, and so improvements/changes are likely to be slow (at least for now.)  Pillowfort looks like it could potentially combine the best features of Tumblr with the best features of Dreamwidth/Livejournal.  But it’s definitely still a beta site.  I’ve got a journal there, but I’m keeping Dreamwidth as my main personal site for the foreseeable future.

On some real shit, I do not fuck with people who ride those boat things at the carnival. People who get on those do not give a fuck about life, they don’t care about you, ya mama or your kids. They literally have nothing to lose. You don’t care about life so there’s no need for me to fight you because you’re not going to give a damn about my face. 

THIS JOINT!!!!

BITCHHHHHHH. I got on this shit when I was 12. Wasn’t no bar, no protection, nothing in that shit. I didn’t realize until it was too late. You couldn’t pay me to ever get on this shit ever again in my life. We were in Landover, this shit almost smooth flipped my ass to Baltimore. No. Never again. 

12? I got on this bitch when I was 21 and had my head in my ex’s shoulder the ENTIRE time. Screaming like a bih too. Nope. Never again. I was praying to the gravity gods the entire time.

?????? All it does is swing back and forth???? I don’t understand the concern??????

Centrifugal force isn’t keeping me from crying tho
