idk, i know this is probably happening on twitter for sus reasons, but in practical terms this seems like a straight upgrade? tumblr lets you hide your likes and thats great - i don't neccessarily need people who i want to have genuine conversations with exposed to my piss kink lmao, or to see that i'm into [name of trashy tv show here]. if anything this will improve engagement because you're not making a Statement everytime you hit the little heart button. generally more privacy is more good isn't it?

i was in town yesterday (and so was everyone else, given the heat) and saw some christian preacher with a microphone going on and on about sin and hell and etc, harassing people who walked by too close. then, just down the street, there was a group of people with matching tshirts and panphlets and a little stand being watched by a group of pigs a few metres away.
i looked up the name on their shirts when i got home. they're a socialist community aid organisation. of fucking course the people trying to help are being stalked by the cops while homophobes are allowed to harass people on the street 
i genuinely do not have a single higher goal as an academic than being able to conduct at least some of my research in china (well, aside from stopping climate change, but lets be real i have by far the best chance of doing that there anyway). xi please confucinize me


why is he doing it early? i figured the tories were desperately holding on and hoping something big happened to give them some chance of winning, but i'm pretty sure the tories are as fucked as they always were
