Why don’t you just put a postage stamp over the lens?
Or better yet. JUST DON’T BUY IT!!!
TGWTG was a huge part of my life for a very long time. It helped me through a lot of issues in my life, because it allowed me to retain my ability to laugh still. I’ve survived a divorce, abuse, bullying and serious depression partly because I was still able to laugh, and the site helped me with…
I realize I’ve had my fair share of drama. And I am sorry if that’s hurt people on the sidelines, people who didn’t deserve it. So rather than spread more cynicism, I’d like to spread some more positivity here.
We’re not always mad at each other. I’d be lying if I said I got along with everyone, but it’s the same as any family or any large group.
But the people I am close to, the people I’m privileged to work with, they’re like a second family to me. When I meet them at Magfest, at the anniversaries, it always feels like it’s been days rather than a year since I’ve last seen them. No matter what happens down the road, these people will continue to be my lifelong friends. I’m extremely lucky people have put up with me long enough to form these friendships, and I hope we can continue to make you happy with the work we put out. Hopefully I can put the cynicism away long enough to spread some more happiness outside of that too.
TGWTG helped me develop my constructive criticism skills, and has taught me a thing or two about what makes a good movie. I owe all of my thanks to Doug Walker for making me a smarter person, and to avoid bad movies.

YO THIS SHIT IS NOT OKAY.
signal boost to all my followers, PLEASE share this where you see fit.
you will most likely never hear this story on American news stations if you live here.
all i ask is that you help raise awareness on this topic.
This is exactly why I’m taking a stab at politics in my webcomic that I’m working on.

A review by one of the folks sums it up perfectly:
“What worries me about Yahoo! buying Tumblr is how it would choose to incorporate the website into its email and homepage features. One of the reasons why Tumblr is so unique is because it’s a niche market. By adding more users who don’t fit into this niche, it would make it more difficult for communities to develop within Tumblr, and Tumblr would have to change to accommodate these new users. Tumblr as a website is not the kind that you can sign up for in a day and be on your way. It is a website crafted so that you can immediately post but must spend several weeks, sometimes even months, to build a community. With new users who would not be willing to spend time growing a community, Tumblr would have to be changed, which would alienate its current users. Those users have spent time and effort to make Tumblr what it is today, and they are the ones who spend time on the website daily. A user who is checking onto Tumblr because it’s attached to their homepage is not going to be as strong of a user nor as dedicated. By changing the website to suit this new user, you would lose the strong users while building an undedicated usership.
To any website that would think of buying Tumblr, they must understand that it is a website that cannot be changed to make it more user friendly to a casual blogger. I think that many Tumblr users would be less worried about a buy-out if they were promised that their communities and ways of using Tumblr would not be changed. No one is going to mind Yahoo! buying the website and gaining a few extra million dollars per year from the minimal advertising; what we will be upset with is if a company like Yahoo! then changes the website to increase casual users and decrease dedicated users. Yahoo! would gain nothing by losing this “cool” group of bloggers in an age group they so desperately want to reach, so they must cater to these individuals by leaving the website exactly as is.” - houseoftombombadil
As much as is does sound like a load of bullshit for someone to buy Tumblr, it’s a possibility. I Personally think it should stay independent and I hope David Karp keeps a hold of it like his own child. Or we make enough noise to where such major changes (if bought) will not happen. I would hate to see Tumblr turned into an advertising dump.We’re not a ‘hip fad group’ to be marketed to. I hate the fact that’s all we look like to businesses in the end.

Happy Birthday, May (May 5th)!
Even though this might not be your actual birthday, it’s the day Johnny found you. And having a family is just as important as celebrating the day you were born!
So have fun with your family today and enjoy yourself!

I guess I’m the only one here thinking that this is some kind of after-school special about not talking to strangers.
Johnny’s probably like “HI KIDS!!! Want some candy? I got some more in the back of my airship”.
……………… I’m going to hell
Relax Tumblr, the pun war between myself and Pirate Dash is just for fun!
