learning to cheerfully dislike other people is I think a critical component of getting along with people who don’t like you. Like as soon as I got a solid grasp on the fact that there is a wide swath of humanity that gets on my nerves and that it’s my problem, not theirs, it got easier to be around people I find annoying. Once that’s settled, it’s easy to flip the reasoning around and conclude that if someone doesn’t like me, that’s a quirk of their own strange and arbitrary tastes, not a judgment upon either of us as a person. You can’t like everyone. Not everyone will like you. It’s fine. It’s not a personal attack in either direction. We can exchange cordial nods across the room and then go on with our lives

wow pluto reclassification discourse is exhausting. here I thought doing a poll that highlights some of pluto’s cool lesser known dwarf planet friends would put things in a context where it can’t possibly go in that direction but nope a bunch people really do just hold a hard stance against a classification system entirely out of a sense of nostalgia

“the planets” aren’t this exclusive club where all the astronomers’ favorite celestial bodies go. the definitions used in astronomy are descriptive, they refer to the dynamics between objects and the properties they have. if you feel bad that pluto isn’t considered a planet anymore and think it should be an honorary planet anyway, good news! that is literally the reason why the category “dwarf planet” was created. it’s for things that don’t have the same type of role in the dynamics of the solar system as the eight major planets, but are still physically a lot like little planets

>>“the planets” aren’t this exclusive club where all the astronomers’ favorite celestial bodies go.

that’s exactly what they are, and my favourite rock deserves to be counted amongst them.

see what I’m talking about.

the set of celestial bodies the average astronomer thinks are cool is significantly larger than the nine planets you memorized in elementary school. if this were literally how it worked, there’s no way the moon or europa or titan or ixion would have been excluded.

OH SHIT ITS JAN MISALI

anyway yeah i had a similar post where i was like “hey its kinda objectiely anti-science to loudly state that your personal preference supercedes scientific professionals” and people got PISSSSED

palaeontology-astronomy solidarity over people interpreting changes in classification for well defined functional reasons as being some sort of bizarre value judgement of their nostalgic favourite thing and getting unreasonably mad about it.

pluto didn’t get “kicked out”! it’s still part of the solar system, but it was never that close to the eight major planets to begin with. now it has its own family that it belongs to, one that it fits in with much better

Thanks for all of the recent feedback around Community Labels being incorrectly applied to content. In particular, we appreciate the input we’ve received from the LGBTQIA+ community and understand the frustrations from folks who felt that their content was unfairly labeled. When we realized this was happening, we immediately investigated and are taking steps to prevent this from happening again.

The LGBTQIA+ community makes up about a quarter of the Tumblr community. It is important for us to support all Tumblr users, especially those whose safe spaces are under threat in certain parts of the world.

As you know, alongside of the rollout of Community Labels we also expanded the types of content allowed on Tumblr as a way to welcome more creativity, art, and self-expression. Our goals remain the same today. Human error happens and we apologize to anyone who has been impacted by these mistakes.

We are working to better understand what happened and will follow up with more information soon.

LETS SEE IF ITS REALLY A QUARTER

I AM QUEER

I AM NOT QUEER

Short-staffing has become a major problem in all sectors. Retail, food service, health care, education, factory production lines, call centers, child care, IT, office support staff, etc. Every corner of our society and economy.

Now we know that even in creative spaces employers are not willing to hire sufficient staff to accomplish necessary tasks, demand workers do more than their fair share of work, for longer hours, without fair compensation or reasonable breaks/time off.

This needs to stop.

Beware of what spin is coming next in the media about the union strikes! The Levinson Group is real good at its job, so there’s gonna be a lot of undermining happening soon. Don’t fall for it!

As a WGA strike captain put it on Twitter:

They could just pay their workers fairly, instead of throwing money at PR firms to pretty up how they treat people like garbage.
