#please just freaking communicate

[angrytraumavoid]

my gosh I cannot stand people who cut off mid-conversation in a serious conversation because they don't want to talk to you anymore BUT THEY DO NOT COMMUNICATE THEY ARE OVERWHELMED. I would back off! I would shut up! Just PLEASE COMMUNICATE WITH ME WTF

#toxic family #“i don't want to be unreliable” #Bitch please #you cut off mid conversation ALL THE F-ING TIMe #reliable my ass #:/ #emotional abuse #silence as a punishment is the worst #esp when they won't even tell you what you did #just communicate #please just freaking communicate

btw artists you should maybe stop posting your art on pinterest if that's something you've been doing, i know a few ppl who have been sharing their art there

i'm not sure if this section has been updated at all or if it's always been this way but I was taking a read through their soon-to-be-implemented update to their TOS to see if they'll be adding anything with the increased usage of AI and this looks like perhaps this section exists (at least in part) for that reason 🤔 [thinking emoji]

unfortunately their report function for art theft/reposting has historically been less than stellar (an understatement) and I don't really see it improving any time soon but perhaps they will improve it with this update to their TOS and privacy policy! one can hope at least!

link to the preview of the new TOS: https://policy.pinterest.com/en/terms-of-service-preview

alt text for the screenshot below, as well as linked in the embedded image description feature:

A screenshot of a section of Pinterest's new Terms of Service. The subsection heading reads: "How we and other users can use your User Content". The highlighted text reads: "By providing any User Content on the Service, you grant us license to use, store, publicly perform or display, reproduce, save, modify, create derivative works, monetize, download, translate and distribute your User Content. Nothing in these Terms entitles you to any payments or the right to share in any revenue from any monetization of User Content."

#pinterest #artists on tumblr #pippen needs 2nd breakfast #i'm not sure if anyone needs alt text anymore or if tumblr's image descriptions are finally playing nice with screenreaders #please let me know if I have made a mistake or anything with that! #also disclaimer idk how standard all this is for a platform's TOS but I figured i'd bring it to people's attention anyways ... #additional disclaimer: i am not very smart and i will not claim to be very smart lol so if i've said anything weird lmk! i'm happy to learn #i am just a little freak that likes to read through TOS and community guidelines on platforms occasionally bc i find it interesting lmao #and i figured a lot of artists esp those who are teens who use pinterest may not know this so ... 🧍‍♂️ here i am ! #but it is entirely possible that i am misunderstanding the wording in their TOS and this isn't actually a ''bad'' thing for artists 🤷‍♂️

bitching abt my job again

tags contain frank mentions of transphobia and homophobia

#this happened like. i dont know. a month ago or something but i still keep playing it in my mind #for those unawares: theres been a fucking community outrage over the pride display at the library i work at #and have been working/volunteering at for 5 years #only it never went up. it never went up. bc the mayor came in as a quote unquote private citizen and demanded it taken down #despite the fact that patrons are required to fill out complaint sheets and even then it isnt ensured a display will be taken down #so obviously its a misuse of power that hes spinning into him being a concerned citizen #and i made a whole post bitching abt it and im doing so again (hi) bc i didnt like how our director responded to it #and yeah. so there was a board meeting after that right. well i set up for them as i usually do and let me tell you. that was the first #--time more than like 6 people came to spectate. it was insane. #and i guarantee that this months meeting wont have half as many people that fucking crammed themselves in there to complain abt gay ppl #bc of course they dont give a shit about the library #they just care about how scary the queers are #and yeah it was a shit show. i learned we have a far right organization in our town #and i was sat right in front of her husband the whole time #(standing actually. i was standing between him and my moms chair and he was sighing and grumbling the whole time bc he couldnt muster the #--balls to ask the 5 foot 2 fag in front of him to please move lol. small victories right) #when i say her i mean the leader of the freaks. idk. chairman? anyway she had a whole speech about how like queers are bad and cutting #the penises off little babies or whatever and she pulled up this passage from a book that was part of the display #its some book by the youtuber rowan ellis-- here and queer i think was the title. it was cataloged in our ya section and contained passages #talking about like having safe sex and what dildoes are and all that kind of shit. just really clinical descriptions imo. im not familiar w #--the youtuber really but im assuming they wrote it as informational bc shocker: teens be having sex. unsafe sex. especially queer teens #sourse: i was one of tgose #and...think for a moment. remember when you were a teen. youd rather fucking DIE than listen to your parents give you the sex talk #and chances are if youre gay your parents arent even going to know WHAT gay sex is (hugging without shirts on) so youre going to look #--elsewhere #bc if youre a hormonal fucking teen youre going to figure it out one way or another! especially if youre from (cough) a podunk shitwater #--town like mine that ran on abstinence by way of sex education #i think teens deserve to have access to that sort of information through trusted means. and i do mean het teens too #but no these fucking morons put on airs like everyones waiting till marriage--no! not my becky sue! as if they werent fucking around in #--holy shit i reached taglimit. i didnt ecen know there was one. hold on

Hey so I think we need to stop pretending our favorite characters in media are completely innocent and could never do anything wrong or fucked up. And also I think we shouldn’t have this mindset that what a character does in the past defines them now despite any personal growth

Maybe instead we need to try to understand why our favorite characters do the things they do or why they did certain things in the past and like. Chill out a little bit

#yes this is about the kris and Susie thing and yes I’m biased because I’m a Susie fictive #but can we also come at this from Kris’s perspective and acknowledge that kris was never afraid of Susie and they never seemed to hold what #she said against her. it’s so clear in both chapters 1 and 2 that they’re besties. we’re besties like no hard feelings about any of that #and it’s something that can be expanded on and worked through in the future #please let’s just trust Toby for the time being. I’m not saying you can’t feel a certain way about it or that you can’t analyze it #but let’s not freak out about it or let it completely change the way we see their current dynamic #personally I thought that it was a really interesting moment for both characters and it actually showed some growth for Susie because she #never was THAT terrible to kris after whatever kris said. I think when you’re a teen and you’re hurting you say and do horrible shit and you #might not even realize it until after the fact or don’t understand exactly how your words can affect other people. kris wasn’t reacting abd #when they did she thought they were laughing at her and given she was already taking out her feelings on them it probably felt Not Great #neither of them are good at effective communication or really being emotionally vulnerable #anyways yeah there’s my take #wrote this mainly in 3rd person because if any singlets see this I don’t want it to be too confusing #Susie talks #kris dreemurr #Susie deltarune #deltarune #safeutdr

genuinely upset about how much people miss the fucking point when discussing the actual reasons furries are targeted as "bad weird sex freaks". don't you ever question why it's a "fringe" culture despite how VAST the fandom is? it's because it is largely, in fact almost ENTIRELY queer, neurodivergent, and comprised of people of color. calling us all zoophiles when it's an all ages fandom where, while there is a large and prominent adult aspect (may i remind you how HUGELY QUEER furries are and how important and intrinsic sex and kink are to the LGBT+ community), the main focus is not on sex by any means, and the focus IS on loving and caring about animals and self expression through a variety of art, literature and music, is literally only doing the right wingers & alt-rights jobs for them. i have never seen a group of people with a larger desire to keep abusers (especially animal abusers. yknow. zoophiles.) OUT of their spaces in my entire life. it should have been obvious from the damn start that the reason people love to rag on furries is not just because we. care about animals and like to be represented by animals in art and costume. is that really what made the most sense to you?

#'they're freaks! they like animals! don't compare them to (x minority group) just to let them feel oppressed' #if you think furries are actually oppressed for being furries and not their other non-furry identities #then your skull is full of crumbling brick. learn to actually think for two seconds like holy christ #people just want to tout their bigotry without looking like actual bigots #that's literally it using furry as their umbrella term for a vast variety of minorities #and to use widespread furry hate as a way to subtly move the marker from furry to more specific and vulnerable identities #because those minority groups famously make up the majority of the furry fandom #they want to be hateful vile assholes and hating on furry at surface level and lying to make it seem like a disgusting group of animal- #and child abusers let's them shift the narrative gradually to 'the lgbt+ community of full of child abusers' for example. #because using 'furry' as the stand-in identity under their attack lets it become acceptable to the everyday person #are you seeing the connection yet??? please for the love of god???? #do you understand why they're literally putting bans on furries in actual right wing legislation that they are CURRENTLY trying to pass???? #because if you don't start realizing then you're literally falling for their ploys.

god. Unknown / Nth is SO fucking ineffable husbands

#they are talking #thinking about how aziraphale fell in love with crowley when he was an angel and has never fully let go of that :( #he wants him to be an angel with him so bad #so they can be angels together under heavens watchful eyes #even if the gaze burns #and crowley :( #they want so fucking badly for aziraphale to just forget about trying to please heaven #and to just spend their eternity together #it kills me whenever i see that freaking clip where he almost says it #and azira almost says he loves him #but no!!! these bitches are so gay and suck so freaking bad at communicating #and also aziraphale needs to get her shit with heaven sorted before he can like actually consider stuff #BUT ITS SO PAINFUL #AND IM SO SO SO IMPATIENT #maggie and nina know whats up #good omens s2 #good omens spoilers #good omens

There are So many bisexuals in the world I can't take a Step without running into a bisexual, I can't believe when I was a teen people lied to me and said what I was didn't exist and there was no one like me, babes if you're bisexual I promise youre not alone and you're awesome

#rant #i just. now that im an adult #at least 90% of my friends are queer #maybe more. i dont talk to every friend about dating so maybe a few might be straight #i make new friends? also almost always queer #theres a lot of us and if you feel alone please know you dont have to be forever. there are more ppl in rhe world and more community #and where u go there will be somr ppl like you somewhere to find #(on a lighter note like. even on language study apps! or niche dumb reddit forms about idk some soecific video game) #i remember authority fogures telling me to 'pick' and that i was a sex obsessed freak etc every biphobic thing u can think #as a teen. and feeling alone and broken. at like 17 i found bi sites and lgbt help sites online and the queer community on tumblr #and felt much more backed up with facts i am real my feelings are feelings many other ppl have felt #and i could find ppl who get me. who would accept me and believe me and my existence #and like. now as an adult lol? i meet a person and mention an ex or my bi af writing lmao and they ask if im bi #and i am! and sometimes they say hey me too lol! and then wowza more friends! thats all #no more fear im yelled at or told biphobic shit. and now if i was for some reason #i can just go okay then i wont be yr friend and wont be chatting with u again thanks bye

Where's the "If the pussy is bad I'm stealing something from your house!!!" Meme. I need it

#ramblings of a lunatic #do you have to call normal things cringe and then try and walk it back and say that u don't think cringe is ''bad'' #bc if you mean it affectionately then why can't you just say that it's good or you like it or get why others like it #yes words have different meanings to different people but context and connotation generally lean towards cringe as a negative word #no ones gonna get your ass for liking mitski or whatever. you dont have to call it cringe as a form of disarment #it reminds me of when I'd show my sister a song or movie i liked and she'd call it awful the whole way through #until I'd suggest turning it off and she'd look at me like i was a freak. IF YOU LIKED IT ALL ALONG IT'S OKAY YOU CAN TELL ME #AND IF YOU DIDN'T LIKE IT I WONT MAKE YOU WATCH/LISTEN TO IT #same way that if u dont like a thing. you dont have to be incorporating it into your posts or whatever #idk I'm just kinda like. can we please have some direct and sincere communication here???? please?????????????????

Campaign to make The God of Arepo an award winning work and win a literal brick as a trophy for the authors and for Tumblr community as a whole (SUCCEEDED!!!! Update below)

As the artist for one of The God of Arepo comics, my version is up for consideration for the Ignatz Awards for Outstanding Online Comic.

For those of you who don't know the Ignatz is one of the highest industry awards that "recognize outstanding achievements in comics and cartooning by small press creators or creator-owned projects published by larger publishers".

The thing is, winning the award means winning an actual literal brick. Because the mascot is a brick-throwing mouse. So they have to make a bit where the trophy is a brick. Like. Look.

For a long time I thought it was just plain bricks they were handing out, but my friend who won a couple of bricks two years ago had theirs stamped (I saw the bricks in person at their house). So now I am obsessed with the idea of The God of Arepo winning an Ignatz trophy. It will have the honours stamped. On a freaking brick. That's the most Tumblr level meme trophy this comic/story could win (which is also a legit high honour industry award on its own btw don't get me wrong). But wilder than that, the brick allows me to do something. It allows me to smash that break into 5 pieces and ship one of each to the authors plus myself. Writing Prompts, sadoeuphemist, ciiriianan, stu-pot and me will get a piece of clay in recognition for our work with the farmer who built a temple out of stone. The full circle moment.

Imagine the value of this win to the lore of this Tumblr sacred text/folklore. This brick will be smashed and given to the creators, but as a collective folklore, it's also dedicated to all of us on this hellsite too. AWARD WINNING. If The God of Arepo wins I will document the entire process of smashing that brick here.

But we have to make this happen. We need to gather our collective energy and make this campaign work. Please help make The God of Arepo an award-winning story and vote for it in the Outstanding Online Comic category (link). You will need to request a ballot, then submit your vote. I recommend checking out the other nominated comics too. The Ignatz really shortlists good stuff. The voting closes September 8 2023 . LET'S GET THE GOD OF AREPO A BRICK FOR HIS TEMPLE!! LET'S GO!!!! REBLOGS HELP TOO!!

#the god of arepo #tumblr #comics #look guys it's not everyday I can make a tumblr folklore be shortlisted for an award #as a long time hellsite denizen it's my duty #BRICK BRICK BRICK BRICK BRICK

I really need to talk for a minute about this new mobile update and how much I as a legally blind person hate whatever the hell is going on with the photos and how it's making this app nearly impossible for me to use

I'm not sure the same thing is happening on the desktop version but for those who may not know in the app whenever you tap on a photo it used to just pop up and you could double tap to enlarge it and zoom in and scroll around and all was great.

A double tap now likes the photo and it must be pinched and pulled to zoom in and out. A mild annoyance, and nothing compared to the rest of the update. If you scroll up, which I do frequently when trying to navigate an enlarged photo, it will send you to ANOTHER photo based on the tags of the post.

That's right, a completely different photo!!! A feature no one asked for and no one wants!! This isn't facebook, or instagram, and maybe tiktok but I never had that so this is a guess. When I click on the photo I only want to see that photo (or in the case of multiple photos in a post I want to be able to easily scroll side to side for those). I do not want to be taken to another post!!! Also if you scroll too far to the left you are then sent to the profile of the person who reblogged the post. I do not know why. Who wants this feature? Is it a feature at all?

As someone who only taps on a photo because I cannot see it and I need to enlarge it, this is beyond a simple annoyance. I cannot navigate the photo like I need, there's a hair trigger on whether it sends you to a new post completely or if you are sent to the profile of the reblogger. Neither, again, are things I want. this leaves me having to back track a lot, re-zoom the photo as it reverts back to normal, and hope dearly that this time I can just read the damned text before it freaks out again.

I haven't seen anyone else talk about this outside of the tags, but really this is making the app unusable for me, and I'm sure for many others.

@staff I know you guys haven't cared about your disabled community much in the past (other photo updates that stopped allowing me to zoom into gifs is proof of that) but please don't make this app unusable for me. I would rather not have to leave.

#staff #tumblr update #tumblr #thanks tungle #I really hate it #please put it back #it's worse even that instagram or facebook because at least I can stop those from moving on and well #I feel like I singed up for that sort of thing with them
