I am enjoying being gay today. Loving all in full color. All nationalities. To find others greater than me is ok. I get to enjoy others greatness. I don’t mind being showered with love in the form of whatever you want me to be showered with. It’s great to see you release yourself and really enjoy it. At that, I smile. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And if I want my eyes to behold your intentional gifts of joy then so be it. Let us celebrate our differences. And enjoy the diversities. It’s time to share in our expressions of what it means to be gay. It’s time to live your life to the fullest. Pass on the joy to others less fortunate. And you will be filled with satisfaction guaranteed. I love being gay. And I love you. ### 5/5 — I like fan fiction *2026-08-23, version 45.9* Ao3 is pretty confusing so I read my Daryl Dixon X reader and my byler fanfics on tumblr instead I love tumblr ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Revert to notes instead of split interactions *2026-08-24, version 34.4* I’m on an older update of tumblr and they still have notes ### 1/5 — drafts *2026-08-24, version 45.9* cannot fully access my drafts :^( ### 1/5 — stop nuking trans women for no reason *2026-08-22, version 45.9* stop. doing that. any media with even a context of being transgender or being tagged as such is marked mature, and hundreds of transfems have been account banned for seemingly no reason. ### 1/5 — Infuriating *2026-08-19, version 45.9* Every second option is a pop up ad. Abhorrent design on that. Shut the app off entirely every time one pops up. ### 1/5 — Auto opening ads *2026-08-13, version 45.8.1* UPDATE: they seem to have fixed the problem outlined below! HOWEVER! They then made it even worse where now any time you click on someone’s blog there is a mandatory add you have to watch before you CAN SEE SOMEONES BLOG????? ON TUMBLR. THE BLOG SITE. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. I only opened the app again out of boredom but it’s almost funny how hard they seem to be working to ruin this site The toggle sensitivity for your finger even BRUSHING over an ad will immediately open it. Seriously cannot even (carefully) scroll more than 3-5 times without it deciding I’ve intentionally clicked on an ad and opening in my browser. Not only is it extremely frustrating, I also don’t feel comfortable using the app anymore because I don’t trust the ads themselves not to be scams or malware and if the app is auto opening things like that it’s completely unusable. Used to love tumblr for following artists and funny posts but it honestly feels like the owners of tumblr hate it? They seem to make every possible wrong choice when it comes to the success of the site…. ### 1/5 — They will sell your email *2026-08-13, version 45.8.1* Be prepared to get pounded with spam emails. Only use my one email for Tumblr. They’re so desperate for extra money they’re selling customer emails for money now. Isn’t that criminal?? What is wrong with these people? Are their homes being repossessed? They’re flooding Tumblr with ads. Don’t visit Tumblr. ### 1/5 — actively hostile to user experience *2026-08-10, version 45.7* listen, i know ad revenue is the only thing keeping this site kicking- but putting full page, unskippable pop-up ads whenever you click on a person’s account is absolutely wretched and just driving less user interaction. i shouldn’t be punished with tiktok ads for trying to look at blogs on the blogging site. L move ### 1/5 — Horrible staff *2026-08-10, version 45.7* Staff will ban anyone who disagrees with them and its disgusting ### 1/5 — hospice *2026-08-07, version 45.7* dont troll the dying please ### 1/5 — greedy piggies *2026-08-06, version 45.7* been using this app since i was 18. the full page ads are the final straw. goodnight you greedy little piggies. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Why this is cool *2026-08-25, version 46.0* Great app if you want to see fandom drawings ### 5/5 — amazing *2026-08-25, version 46.0* amazing i love ### 5/5 — Unbelievably Satisfying *2026-08-25, version 46.0* That says it all.
