Giving credit to original posters, creators, artists, photographers, and sources matters.

It matters to the person who put in the time and effort to create the content. Whether it's finding that photo and editing it to make it stand out. Or downloading that video, editing it, coloring it, turning it into a gif, adding subtitles, etc. Regardless of what you do (job/student), I'm sure you too would not like it if someone else takes credit for your work.

It matters to people who want to know context. Was it said by a fan, your favourite's bestie, a reputable journalist? Published by a tabloid or the New York Times? From last week or last year? Is it an original, or did someone get photoshopped in for a meme?

It matters to people who may want to explore more content of that particular publication, so they will continue to publish top-notch articles. Or give kudos to a budding artist for their outstanding art work, potentially encouraging them to create more. Or compliment that photographer on capturing their fave in just the right light.

It matters, because even though it may take you an extra minute or so to add on that name or link, it is the right thing to do.

#i am aware we could do more like #pay for content we use #but giving credit is truly the bare minimum #and we all have those times when we are busy and forget to note the source #but we can try to make the effort 99% of the time #so much wonderful talent on this app #and other social media #who deserve to be acknowledged #and i know i am not the only one who spent hours gathering data #putting it into excel #creating a nice graph #with me crediting my data sources #only to then find it reposted on twitter 2 minutes later #without any credit whatsoever added #giving credit matters #cite your sources #not just applicable to f1mblr #but since that's the fandom i'm in #f1 #formula 1 #charles leclerc

a late-night conversation.

#ffxiv #thya #thya and her lil node <3 #i had a thought. because thya has vague memories of her past lives (as azem and as a scientist during the third astral era) #i like to think that she remembers meteion (as a concept) and made something similar. #created a bunch of nodes. sent them into space to gather data. because they are machines they wouldn't get affected by dynamis. #doesn't mean she succeeded though. some of the nodes were probably destroyed and the others came back with no answer. only silence. #(woah oc lore)

#part three in my Totally Normal Poll series #im having a good time with these #slowly gathering data so i can diagnose my followers as #like #a collective #you'll all have to share the dx tho sorry #i only have enough money for one #polls

[motleyfam]

#other strong contenders included talk show clips #babies tasting lemons for the first time #and sick pogo stick tricks #but there were only 10 slots #i keep telling myself I’m gonna slow down on the polls #but they fulfill a very particular need I have to anonymously gather data from my peers #in another life I would have studied sociology in college #polls

how's college going

#ask #anonymous #i only have two weeks left but my thesis paper isn't even halfway done. because my thesis adviser approved my interview questions too late #so now i haven't even finished my data-gathering. let alone my prototype. for the thing i'll be working on for the next two years #we're not even gonna talk about my five other subjects #that's how it's going

Made the Wanlyn Guide before so now I'm making Asvini

Not rated cause every Asvinis are good Asvinis, though on ferality scale it would be Ancestor > Swap > OG > Descendant

#Homestuck #Hiveswap #Fantroll #Ofelia Asvini #Giulia Asvini #Amelia Asvini #rustblood #doodle #Ami is only slightly less feral than OG as she's more apathetic and willing to be more patient to gather some data #though when push come to shove she will be down to fight #Swap is a menace in battlefield but she's more of a commander #and she's reluctant most of the time #Giuls has nothing holding her down and you should not mess with her #her quadmates also enabling her #OG is the perfect balance and the sweetest but you already saw how she is in her pitchmance lmao

Being high energy while sick feels insane. Like my brain is telling me I should lay down and rest but is also telling me I should run around in circles and break things.

#i think im getting better tho. i mean i still can feel my warped sickyness but idk my hormones maybe have me all fucked up #but like i told my mum i get these insane little hypomanic-esque episodes and she was immediately like could b ur hormones #i know a number of ppl like that. and i was like YES. thats obviously what it is but nothing comes up when i try to google things abt it #so there must b others out there. and it also implies that theres sometimes fucked up about my serotonin receptors bc when im like kinda #positively disregard i feel happy and i never feel happy. my typical emotional state is indifferent and apathetic #and then dips into light misery and very miserable but not like clinically depressed. but i was even like that while on vacation so even #removed from the stresses in my life i still am not happy. which is y its so hard when ppl r like do what makes up happy. relax #and im like. ok but like nothing works??? its either fucked up hormones or my lantent anxiety just keeps me from being happy #but whatever. im gathering so much data. when i go see a doctor im gonna pull out a spreadsheet and graphs and notes like a lunatic #bwahhh i wanna run. i have too much energy. fuck being sick. fuck having to work on a day off. fuck this #also fuck my menstrual cycle for being so short. like so short its sometimes not listed with the healthy range but only sometimes #just to make me think. i should probably talk to a doctor but. like its probably fine. its consistent so its fine #annoying. annoying. got u can tell when out of wack bc i post too much and cant shut thr fuck up lol #unrelated

People would rather believe seb is working miracle with the car rather then the team has worked really hard to improve it. It's not the 2nd worst car on the grid anymore, be proud of the engineers and their work

#just something thats been bugging me #and like its not exclusive to seb fans #ive seen it from everywhere #people calling them unserious and that seb deserves better and oh look at his performance if only he had the right car #im sorry? are we not watching the same team that 4 races ago introduced a whole new car has been improving it ever since #like yeah spain wasnt the best but it was brand new they had to hather data #gather #monaco seb got points and lance sure he fucked up quali but he had a great recovery overtakes in monaco hello? #then baku the car looked good (when the engine was working 😒) #and now canada that thing is a rocket #the team has done amazing to get to where we are now from the start of the season and i think they deserve much more credit for it #aston martin f1 #I'm not saying its the fastest car on the grid but its not a backmarker anymore solid midfield #im excited to see where the te goes next #theyre on a good run up

accidentally expended a bunch of energy getting worked up over gender issues today. goodnight (¦3ꇤ[▓▓]

#leologisms #do i need to clarify? getting pissed off over people on reddit insisting on their right to use 'dude' as gender neutral even after someone #explicitly said that they didnt like it #and poll phrasing. which is honestly adjacent to the gender thing #i get that its tumblr but if you wanna make a poll to seriously gather data then. idk. get someone to proofread it or something #UGH whatever its kinda a stupid thing to be nitpicking about. good nighg #YES talking about gender issues is important. but i only have so many spoons

ok the fic im working on is raindrop going out and getting ear piercings. here was the original brainworm: a lot of peoples ghouls have pointed ears and its soooo cute and also many have piercings which are especially cute on pointy ears, however (and this should surprise no one at all) whats the logistics of that? and then it spiraled out of control and became ice cream and ibuprofen

#beyond that i dont really remember how those ideas came together i think im just connecting everything recently #anyway i did go out and get a new piercing yesterday because it had been a while and why not #it was interesting it was the first time i had been to this place because its the first one i got since i finished grad school & moved #and a lot of the details were different #so now i guess i have a greater variety of experiences to draw from but i feel like most of the details are still going to come from the #first cartilage piercing i got which remains my ground truth #but also this time i didnt see a whole lot of what he was doing because he made me lie down so i genuinely dont know some of what happened #and he didnt make me look at the placement or anything i dont even think he marked it at all #also i was trying really hard to be social which compromised my information gathering mission somewhat just a little #its ok i got the memory refresh i wanted and i already had enough data to begin with so i can only learn more #right after he did it he said “you took that really well” which now im like 🤨 filing that away for reference

every time someone conflates miku/vocaloid/synth v with other voice AI i (vocaloid autist) get an aneurysm

#★ phantompost #1. Yes‚ many vocal synths including vocaloid have incorporated AI into their engines #2. Yes‚ the data is gathered from the voice providers with FULL consent unlike much current year AI #3. No‚ miku DOES NOT have an AI voicebank. only those using the old method (recording of syllables mapped around to notes you place #it's like really smooth sentence mixing especially

my mom was just talking to a friend on the phone and she was complaining about how all zoomers either can’t hold conversations without them being stilted and shallow or they basically traumadump and talk too much about their emotions and im just…… she is a psychologist. specifically a college counsellor. almost all of the zoomers she talks to are. literally university students assigned to her to seek out long term therapy for trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, behavioral and social issues, etc……….

what does she…expect……… to hear…….????

#really terrible pool to gather your data on All Zoomers and their typical generalized behavior from #like. #no shit??? #the other point of reference for zoomer behavior is Me which is also a terrible choice because I am. autistic. among other things #but I sure as hell don’t traumadump. kinda the opposite I don’t like acknowledging my emotions at all if I can help it #so I only apply to the stunted conversations aspect and even then when I do have conversations I wouldn’t consider them shallow #boy what a fucking mess #older generations are really just. sometimes. so upset about not being the center of the world anymore they’ll target anything about #younger generations for literally no reason it’s. exhausting #another issue with her pool if it wasn’t obvious enough is that these are UC students. aka some of the most stressed out overworked zoomers #you can possibly talk to #again. horrible pool to gather data from on All Zoomers #idk man this just. irked me a bit #she used someone admitting they used to cut as an example of traumadumping/being too emotional/whatever and it just felt gross to mention #because again she is a College Counsellor. #I can guarantee whoever that remark is based on is someone who mentioned it after being asked BY HER about the nature of their trauma/ #mental health issues so she can match them to a long term therapist. #aka: IT IS IN HER JOB DESCRIPTION TO HEAR THESE THINGS #fbsjcekdjfksjcjekcnrnd #kibumblabs #rant

i love how every three months, i open up a spreadsheet, record the number of fics currently available on ffn and ao3 for a couple anime fandoms, nod to myself abt a Science well done, and then close the spreadsheet for another three months

#i think also funny is the fact that i'm pretty sure i talk abt this every three months too #i actually almost forgot to record data today. idk what the fuck reminded me #right now i'm transferring some data from one spreadsheet to another bc that other one is a garbled mess #i've been putting it off for so long bc i only know how to do it by hand. clerical errors win #anyway as per usual a couple of older fandoms have been steadily bleeding fics over on ffn #and like 98% of new fics are posted to ao3 rather than ffn unless i try to traverse the mess that is wattpad #but wattpad is very inconsistent for data gathering so i just kinda suffer #花話

Do not use a poll from a Tumblr post for a statistics project unless it is an example of bad data gathering.

Thanks for the tip! I was honestly just going to use it for an assignment/hear what my professor thought of the whole thing, plus I was curious about other peoples thoughts. Either way, I was never considering it as representative of the whole population, just Tumblrs' user base.

#I know about sampling bias I SWEAR #Like I know this isn't good data gathering but it's also the only way I can do anything like this #I'm also in an intro to stats class we're not doing anything real here #asks
