Field observations from Tumblr
Sociologically speaking, Tumblr is a truly fascinating place. :)
someone just liked a very old post of mine, like, half a year old??? and??? why???
Dunno, maybe they, like, found it? just now?
people adding their comments in post instead in tags

#why had you ruin the post I wanted to reblog!!!!!
...I feel like I was mistaken about tags' purpose all this time.
(Why can't you reblog just the original post?)
I mean, if porn bots really have to exist and follow me, couldn't they at least make themselves useful and like my posts?
*eyes the like button* I'm in a quandary, because while I kinda agree with the author's point, I'm somehow reluctant about expressing it...
This is an inclusive blog!! But do not follow if you
- post X
- are Y
- believe Z
Looks like you intended to make two posts, most probably for two different blogs, right?
If you like the show X, like this post so I'll know to block you
Best thing is, some of these actually have likes. XD
every time you like my posts instead reblogging them makes me post even worse shit on purpose
Mesdames et messieurs, here we are witnessing the pressure of natural selection at work, a truly magnificent phenomenon bringing sublime results.
my dash is sooo dead, let me know if you post
- pretty scenery
- cats
- horses
- anime gifs
- cool quotes
do not bother if you're
- white
- cis
- straight
Now I'll be wondering forever how a gay mountain might look... Or a gay posted mountain, for that matter.
please don't follow me if you post X bc I don't want to see that okay? thx
Perchance, is your meaning of "follow" something akin to "hack my account or break into my home by night and find my comp to make it put their stuff on my dash behind my back"? If so, I second you wholeheartedly. Hey guys, stop hacking this person's dash!
I will unfollow you if you post X, Y or Z
...Okay? It's free countr... site.
someone: *reblogs a post I reblogged two weeks ago*
me: you stalking me or what?
Tumblr posts have expiry date shorter than cartoon milk.
sorry if i ever reblog anything you posted hours ago its bc i was busy and forgot to refresh when came back
...shorter than still-in-cow milk???
if youre following me like this so i can follow you!
Because you forgot where's the link to your followers list?
like this post if you want me send you my nude pic / story of my life / clip of me singing / first chapter of a book I'm working on
*is very very careful with the mouse while scrolling by*
*like, tiptoe careful*
plz stop posting that you want to die or smt bc i always like posts before reading and im terrified i can like such post and you gonna think im telling you to die thx
Here's an idea: how about liking posts after reading? Or even not liking everything in sight once in a while?
hey, if you see me reblogging from someone racist, transphobic, sexist... [five lines later] ...plz tell me bc i never look at blogs before following them
So why do you... what for do you... what makes you... o_______o
follow spree time! like this if you post witchcraft and mythologies. and be honest, I WILL check your blog
I thought I'm supposed to expect you doing that? Wait, actually this might explain something about the previous one...
omg, guys, so sorry for liking a bunch of your posts yesterday! forgot you shouldn't double tap when on mobile
Yes, I'm sure they all must hate you. XD Though maybe not as much before as now.
don't ever like my posts if you
- don't believe [lotsa linguistics chopped in pieces and frankensteined together] are valid
- support [bunch of mysterious acronyms]
- follow blogs X, Y and especially Z
- read A and B
- watch C and D
Everyday tumblring is so complicated...
so I posted THAT post and 2 unfollowed and look how much I don't care! good riddance!!
Geez, chill out, people. They might have not even noticed THAT post and unfollow for a million of reasons, up to and including "because ceased posting what I followed for".
wtf, you aren't even following me, why did you like my post, gtfo!!!
Where do I send the application and is a month of probationary period enough?

Most of these exist as more than one case and none of these is the exact quote, so no point in searching for them. Feel free to add more as long as the latter rule is kept, please.

You can comment also in Disqus, here. (Or reblog or whatever, because apparently I'm suicidal enough to post on Tumblr the full version this time.)
It's okay to comment in whatever language fits you best, as long as I get it. Don't mind the entry's language.
Można komentować w języku, który najbardziej ci odpowiada, o ile go zrozumiem. Nie przejmuj się językiem notki.
