not enough people understand that disability benefits are basically what it would look like if you turned "if you're too sick for school you're too sick for video games" into an official public policy

It’s sad that it’d probably go through disability pride month because I’ve been waiting for that all year to make disability pride shit but eh. I don’t wanna be a scab.

Actually no wait nevermind why the fuck are we doing it through disability pride month??? That seems weird as fuck nevermind

Why the fuck would you make it so that you start after queer pride month, but through disability pride month??? That seems weird as fuck to me I’m sorry not sorry but it does. Like it seems weird in a way I really can’t articulate properly but i hope my rambling makes sense

Everyone keeps reblogging the tumblr blackout post as though it isn’t probably gonna be through most of, if not all of, disability pride month, which is a horrible fucking idea, so like, maybe let’s not do that? Like if someone else is able to articulate it better than me please do so, but it feels so. Weird. And a horrible idea.

tumblr wouldn't be affected with a blackout like reddit would. reddit relies on volunteers to run all of the subreddits and, basically, run the app. they can shut down their spaces (and the entire website/app) if they want to. tumblr doesn't work the same way. it would probably be more effective to give one-star reviews in the app store, stop blazing posts/buying checkmarks/etc, send asks detailing problems to official blogs like wip, etc. a blackout won't have the same effect, and, like sillyfunny is stating above, would isolate people during disability pride month.

Yep. Boycott tumblr products! Don’t buy ad free or crabs or whatever, don’t buy the merch, don’t buy dashboard checks, use an adblocker, don’t blaze posts, all of that. What they care about is MONEY, not users. So many disabled use tumblr to connect, and a blackout would hurt us more than anyone else because many of us have limited access to irl connections whether that’s due to lack of accessibility, being housebound or bedbound, being immunocompromised in an area where not enough people are vaccinated and masking, or anything else. And yeah it’s super insidious that the proposed blackout would not start until disability month, because oh no, we can’t ruin pride month!! Get a grip and support us disabled people. I’m not gonna spend a cent on tumblr but I’m not participating in this blackout. It’s not gonna work and it’s going to hurt disabled people more than it’ll hurt tumblr.
