blueorchidsims:

can anyone tell me why my tablet suddenly seems unable to handle loading tumblr? i just get a blue spinning wheel for eternity. all i’m trying to do is read @neopixiesims legacy and pictures refuse to load. people’s icons on the dashboard also aren’t loading. i’ve tried using task manager to see if anything’s running in the background, but there’s nothing, and turning it off and back on again (multiple times) doesn’t seem to work either.

is this what i get for mentioning that i’m a blackwhole of technology earlier today? is this my punishment for not knocking on wood?

What’s even stranger is that it is SPECIFICALLY tumblr that is being weird like this. Everything else seems to be loading/running just fine. Is it some weird late-night on the west coast maintenance issue or something? What is going on?

What do you do when computer shopping and your sibling (who knows infinitely more about them) lives all the way across the state?

Use tumblr messaging to ask if the one you’re looking at is okay.

I am a blackwhole of technology that does not understand what all these letters and numbers mean. 🤷‍♀️ I am clueless.

So I’ve now tried to post this THREE TIMES! Fuck you mobile!

Anyway, I closed my laptop with discord minimized and then the fan started going haywire. I opened it up to see why it wasn’t going to sleep and had to use the power button to do a force restart, when it came back to resolution [display, whatever idc] was stuck at 4×3 and i couldn’t change it. 

TURNS OUT: turning it off and back on again is the solution to any computer problem you could have, because now it’s fine! This just proves that I really need a new computer.
