This is a good sign. It means that your kobolds have developed their society to the point where they are able to recognise their collective needs. Encourage this behaviour by recognising the union and sitting down to bargain with their reps. Chances are, what they want is thoroughly achievable — and if it isn’t, you can explain why not and offer to let them propose solutions. Your bond with your kobolds will be strengthened, and they will be more able to operate independently, with less micromanagement.
The butch lesbian/trans man “funky printed button down” stereotype is true but you must understand that the men’s section of so many clothing stores is a bleak and miserable place. Clothing manufacturers are simply convinced that no one who wears men’s clothes wants anything besides the most boring outfits possible. Often stripes are the most exciting it gets. If you want to wear clothing designed for men but happen to like “color” and “joy” in your life then often the funky printed button down or the hawaiian shirt are simply your only options, especially off the clearance rack.
not to be a Brand and plug myself here but since i was tagged: i, nonbinary, make funky button downs in fun patterns that many have described as gender affirming/euphoric :^) they come in unisex sizing xs-4XL, 100% cotton, with button on the hips for extra room! also, i have tees/pants/jackets to match.
i wanna add @mayakern is doing button ups now and has preorders going on! and @irrel has some fun dnd themed button ups!
aww thank you! glad to be in good company, i adore all the artists tagged :’)
i’ve only just started my first foray into button up territory, but i have preorders open until march 31st! sizes XS-6X, polyester spandex blend, with extra hidden closures in the bust region to prevent gaping
DO YOU NEED A FUNKY PRINTED BINDER OR SPORTSBRA TO COORDINATE WITH YOUR FUNKY BUTTON-DOWN?
icant even explain why i feel this way about it but this meme, this specific version, just makes me so emotional i love it so so much. its very heartwarming. peace n love on planet earth
So I think the best strat here is for the users who did get the new layout to just stop using the desktop version of the site for a while, like a week or a month or however long their ‘experiment’ is supposed to last, while the users who didn’t get the new layout should keep using the desktop version like normal or, perhaps, use it even more than usual.
My guess is that they’re doing basic A/B testing on the new layout to see if it would boost engagement: the userbase is split roughly 50/50 between the 2 versions and they are going to be comparing the engagement data between the 2 groups of users to see if it’s worth it switching everyone to the new layout or not.
Basically,if you got the new layout and don’t like it - don’t use it. If engagement metrics of group B (new layout) are lower than those of group A (no change), the experiment will be considered a failure and they will have to reverse the change.
If your tumblr suddenly looks like twitter - it’s a sign to log off and go touch some grass! (or just use the mobile app since that engagement data isn’t relevant to this particular experiment)
Don’t just not use it, send feedback too!
There’s a “contact us” option to send feedback about features being launched. GIVE FEEDBACK IN THE APPROPRIATE SPACE!
Not to “As a professional UX researcher” on this thread, but yeah, as a professional UX researcher, now is the exact time to provide clear (but kind!! the poor UX team is usually not responsible for these decisions) feedback on what your thoughts are in regards to this change.
In my job, if I were doing an AB test on a site layout and every person I interviewed said “I hate it, it looks like knockoff twitter, please put the old one back” then I would be very excited to include a nice little bullet point in my report that says “[x] number of participants disliked the new layout :)”
i recently sent feedback and was told that this https://wip.tumblr.com/ was established specifically for new feature feedback. their asks are open from 6a to 6p eastern. it looks like they really listen to what people say given their response to me so highly rec reaching out through these channels
Working at a movie theatre and a male coworker being like ugh all these guys being forced to dress as Ken for their girlfriends but every couple I see is just beautiful excited girls and their absolutely adoring boyfriends looking at them glowing in the sunlight from the theatre sunroof in the popcorn line and like
This is why you don’t have a girlfriend man. Men in fact love and adore their partners wake up we love men sound in their masculinity
it’s so funny to me when terfs are like “SORRY for standing up for women. guess i am a MONSTER for protecting lesbians” and then their social media feed is like 99% evangelical christian propaganda
