this, that, and the other thing

1. Surprising precisely nobody, Tumblr is imploding in a rhymed echo of LiveJournal's self-immolation. Ah well, it was interesting (and full of many pretty pictures and gifsets) while it lasted.

2. I got some holiday gift ordering dealt with today. I need to talk some other things over with Vicky tomorrow or Wednesday, and I still need to bug Cat and Susan about what they'd like.

3. Today I had to sit through a one-hour mandatory annual sexual harassment prevention education program at my rental office job. Blargh. I mean, it's important! But the method is not geared to endear the process to anyone. *sigh*

4. In other work news, I got my end of year bonus check, which is nice. :)

5. Tomorrow is a day of All The Errands. Wednesday is then a day of All The Cleaning, because Friday is my little dinky December college graduation ceremony, and my parents are coming to Ithaca to attend. I would like my mom not to give me the disappointed face over the state of my apartment. *wry*

And that's pretty much it, because I am going to bed so as to be well-rested for my Errand Quest in the morning.

did they teach you about nipple genders?

[edenfalling]

No, because wtf even. *shakes head at Tumblr*

It was mostly stuff like how sexual harassment doesn't have to be explicitly sexual in nature, so long as it occurs because of a person's sex, gender, or gender presentation, and also that even if it's a quid pro quo situation -- you know, "date me or I'll block your promotion" and the person being pressured agrees and then does get the promotion -- that's still sexual harassment and the person being harassed can and should report it.

I think the gifsets will go on for a while, and only slowly fizzle out when it becomes clear that a large core of fandom has broken off. There isn't a good replacement yet. But damn, I can't see all this ending well for tumblr.

Yeah, we really need a site with good image hosting services -- so much of fandom is based on manips and gifs these days -- but I am pretty sure Tumblr has fatally shot itself in the foot. It may zombie on for a while like LJ, but it's not going to be the center of anything for much longer.
