If your Tumblr radar has an image from tripthelightfantastik (like mine does right now) and you are at all triggered by flashing gifs, DO NOT GO TO THEIR PAGE. The background on their page is a rapidly flashing gif in bright, neon colors.
(What my Tumblr radar currently looks like.)
Hell, I don’t have any sensitivities to things like that and I couldn’t deal with it.
There is also auto-play music.
Please signal boost this. Being a Tumblr radar pick means this person is going to have a lot of exposure. I don’t want anyone triggered by this.

Tumblr is like this really great party where you’re hanging out with all your friends and everything is really chill and then Racist Rob walks in and you’re like goddammit who let Racist Rob into the party and he starts fucking everything up and you kick him out but his girlfriend Cissexist Cindy shows up and is like omg why are you so mean to Racist Rob and then Misogynist Mike is like don’t listen to her she’s a women and Racist Rob is like don’t talk to my girl that way and then they start fighting and breaking shit and then Homophobic Hank is like guys stop wrestling that’s gay and then you kick them all out and they just sit outside of your house throwing bricks with anonymous hate messages through your windows and you call the police but then the police arrest you instead.

when you try your best but you don’t succeed
![]()
when you get what you want but not what you need
could it be worse
when you love someone
but it goes to waste
when you feel so tired
but you can’t sleep
when you lose something you cannot replace
And I will try…to fix you.

We all know you’re the coolest social media founder. You’re the most attractive. The least sketchy. The least “Tom”.
Your website is really awesome.
But you know what makes it even better?
Missing E.
Now, despite what you’ve tried to convince us, we all know that Missing E isn’t a browser hack. It’s not a virus, or malware. It’s not some sentient Tron-esque program trying to take over the world. It’s not Skynet.
It’s just a browser extension run and maintained by some really talented programmers, who MADE YOUR WEBSITE BETTER.
So stop being a petulant child, and either hire them or buy the extension. You can afford it. You have over $40 million in funding for the damn website. Imagine how much you could get if it ACTUALLY WORKED.
Just think about it.
Sincerely,
The Bloggers.

OOOH LETS HIDE THE ICON MAYBE THEN YOU WILL ALL UNINSTALL IT
I really like that, instead of making the square the same color as the background and thus, maybe a bit less obvious? it’s a faded blue and the web-equivalent of throwing a blanket over yourself and going “I’M NOT HERE, LOOK AWAY CITIZEN”
As soon as I saw that, I clicked on the icon. It’s incredibly attention-grabbing. WHAT THE SERIOUS FUCK, TUMBLR. WHAT. THE. SERIOUS. FUCK.

Last week I saw a video put out by a girl who was outed to her parents by someone who found her address and sent them a letter. I looked at her YouTube channel and saw that she had a P.O. box listed for her fans to send her things, but her home address was not listed. Someone took the time to search out the address of her parents and wrote a vile letter outing her, making her terrified about what would happen to her. I don’t know how that ended, someone suggested that it may not have really happened and she made it up. I don’t know her or all the circumstances, but regardless of the details, this is not something that has not happened to others.
Last night I was shocked to see that a Tumblr blogger not only tracked someone’s IP information and posted it, but they took it one step further and posted an aerial map image of the person’s home. This all happened because they believed the other blogger had sent them an nasty anonymous message. Knowing this other blogger well, I can assure you that anon is not her style. Again, the reason this was done is irrelevant, the FACT that it happened is inexcusable.
This is the internet, many of us share a lot of personal things on here, but we choose what we put out. If you want to attack someone for something they post, go for it, we know the risk we take when we put things up on our blog. If someone is threatening, or taking things past the boundaries of appropriate that make you fearful, track them if you must, but then report them to whoever you think needs to know about it, be it the Tumblr Admins, or a higher level of authority if necessary.
What you should NEVER do is publish anyone’s personal information, no matter how vile they may be or you may think them to be. This is how people get hurt. You never know what your followers will do. You don’t know who lives down the street from the person you’ve just exposed that will confront them in person and possibly harm them or their family. You need to think beyond the moment when you do something like this, because there can be repercussions.
So argue all you want. Call people on what you perceive to be their bullshit. But DO NOT publish their personal information. Stop and consider if you’d like your information available to everyone. There are people here who blog about their sexuality, atheism, or politics in secret. They are are not open to their friends and family. What really shocked me last night was that the blogger who posted the personal information was a gay blogger! Outing people like that, and the possible implications of that outing should have been evident to them, but clearly it was not.
I know I’m probably talking to the air with this post, but it’s just something that had to be said. ~ Kim
