You Know, An Interesting Tumblr Transformation That's Happened Gradually, And Which I've Seen No One

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

If you are unable to afford donating, this link allows you to click a button every 24 hours in order help donate to Palestine.

American mutuals, I seriously urge you to tell Congress and Biden to stand with Palestine, and do not stop sending this message. You can also donate here.

This is not a war; what Israel is doing to Palestine is genocide. Do not sit idly by and do not stay quiet. Now more than ever is the most important time to not look away.

It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Hello my friends 👋

I hope that you will stand by me and support my campaign and help me reach my goal. I am now in dire need of help to save my family from the danger of death in Gaza, provide the necessities of life and livelihood, and reach safety. Your financial support and sharing our story is our only hope for the family’s survival and to save our lives. Your kindness and generosity can make a difference🙏🍉

While I cannot financially offer my support, sharing and spreading your story to the world is the most I can do.

People in Gaza are still trying to survive the oppressive conditions they’re living in. They need all the help they can get.

They need our help to get out of Gaza. We can’t let innocent people suffer for this long.

Share their story or financially support 🍉: https://gofund.me/6700aab1
