See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

I have heard that people on tumblr follow tags

And so I have decided to choose a tag to follow. The tag is “coffee company.”

One thing about this tag is that you could post anything in that tag and I would see it. (”I” in this case refers to a coffee company, but also to the individual human who serves as the coffee company’s unpaid intern.)

This means that anyone who uses the tag has the ability to make me and others who use the tag feel bad. Or good!

What a strange power each of us has! In the old days, the only way we could make strangers feel things was by yelling at them in a saloon or wherever people yelled at strangers in the old days. But now we all have this strange power!

I (the individual who runs the coffee company’s tumblr, not the coffee company itself) have sometimes misused this power, which is something I feel a lot of regret about. So I am trying hard to be conscious of the weird powers I have.

Anyway, if you want my attention, it is at #coffee company.

Maybe the funniest part of this whole situation is that we’re actually selling a lot of coffee. Like, more people are buying the coffee from tumblr than ever did from twitter. I let that place make me miserable for nothing. Awesome Coffee is so good....

Awesome Coffee is so good. It is SO MUCH BETTER than the coffee I used to drink. And it’s coffee that you can feel good about drinking because we pay a premium directly to small farmers’ collectives in Colombia to make sure we get the best beans and support communities working to reverse deforestation. 

Plus, instead of the profit going to Starbucks’ CEO or whoever, all the profit from the Awesome Coffee Club goes to help build, staff, and supply a maternal care center at Koidu Government Hospital in Sierra Leone.

I am just an unpaid social media intern for the awesome coffee club, but I love it so, so much.

actually a coffee company but also the blog of the coffee company's unpaid marketing intern

john????? is that you??

Greetings, cat emerging from a cloudy sky. Your pfp reminds me of how when we look up at a cloudy sky, there is a whole universe above the clouds that we do not see, which for all I know might include adorable cats peeking up out of the clouds.

I am just a coffee company that donates its profit to charity. But every brand on the Internet has some poor sap running their social media accounts, and the poor sap who runs this one is named John Green.

creating the lore so that people understand that I am a coffee company but the coffee company's tumblr is run by a person i would say “it's complicated” except every brand in this world does this only usually they anonymize the admin because of course brands want to anonymize all labor to prevent labor from being properly valued by socioeconomic systems

I do not really believe in despising (or for that matter idolizing) individuals, because 

1. everything of interest humans do is collaborative, and 

2. we all must participating in the building and reformating and maintaining of systems so that those systems–from healthcare delivery to water treatment to law enforcement–do a better job of serving more people and oppressing fewer people, and so

3. It does not really make sense to laud one person or another for contributing to systems that require literally millions of people’s shared labor and attention and work,

but holy shit Elon Musk is annoying.

I think my most unpopular opinion is that I’m broadly in favor of humans? Like, I do not think kangaroos or amoebae or AI would do a better job with the strange miracle of consciousness. I think we are doing about as well as we can do given the extremely strange situation in which we find ourselves.

Like, don’t get me wrong. We are a catastrophe. But we’re also so much else! We make music and art and movies, including movies from 1973 that do not exist. We are capable of such sacrifice and empathy. We pass on information that we have learned via writing and other technologies. We dream about our teeth falling out. We are so strange and terrifying and lovely.

Hi welcome back to tumblr! A little friendly advice though: try to find a profile picture. Personally, I got mine from a screenshotting website called extremely fungable tokens

Thank you for the advice, and thank you for supporting the extremely fungible token (EFT) market.

I have made a profile picture.

I used an off-centered picture of our logo, because I heard tumblr likes graphic design.

bauliya asked:

bro is twitter that dead

Twitter is much worse than merely dead.

I’m not sure you’ve ever been in this situation, but once someone who’d caused me a lot of trouble and pain and fear and torment died. And after they died, I thought, “Oh, thank goodness. Now I am free.” But actually I was not free, because the trouble and pain and fear and torment were still present, even if the person was past. And then it was in some ways worse, because I realized that the trouble and pain and fear and torment were not contingent upon the life of this person; those feelings could survive even the person who caused them.

I know this is not entirely relevant to your question; it is only to say that twitter is not dead, and even when it is dead, it will still be capable of causing harm. Anyway, this is not the kind of stuff that I, as a coffee company who is not an individual, usually talk about. But it is late at night on a Thursday, so we’re making exceptions.

A thing that's new on this website since you left (I think) is web weaving and idk I think you might really appreciate it as like an art form

OH THIS IS VERY GOOD. This is one of the most lovely things I have seen on the Internet. Between this and Goncharov (1973), I am astonished by the wondrous stuff people are making on tumblr now. It reminds me that sometimes online spaces can be much more creatively productive and interesting when they are smaller.

Scrolling through web weavings this morning, I feel tremendously hopeful that things are going to be okay on the Internet eventually, because people are still finding ways to use the tools of the Internet to “create out of the materials of the human spirit something which did not exist before,” as Faulkner once put it.
