Ubisoft Assassin's Creed's Evie Frye Voice Actress Victoria Atkins has been replaced by AI while protesting for SAG-AFTRA

She also never receives residuals

And yet Ubisoft continues to make more AC games whilst not even paying their workers what they’re owed… and using AI. Wow.

WHAT THE W H A T

Don’t think any of my followers are German nor do I think my followers actually exist, but spreading for visibility anyways

This is actually a fairly common practice for fascists. Never tear down their propaganda with your bare hands, always use a pocket knife or something

Yeah this has been happening in America too, if you can then I recommend bringing your own anti-nazi stickers to put over the nazi ones

Please be careful, the world is a crazy place!

In addition, wheatpasted posters can contain fine shards of glass mixed up in the glue. In general it is safe to assume that removing street art with your bare hands can result in injury, especially if the art is politically motivated, but fascists in particular have zero qualms about hurting people who try to tear down their propaganda.

I wish I could blaze a post telling people to test their smoke alarms but I have literally no money so if y’all could help me spread this the old fashioned way

Test your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now i’m thinking….maybe this is the good luck post

…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment

likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post

i need all the help i can get for finals

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

Hoping this post can bring some light back into my life

maybe this will be my good luck charm <3

reblogging this again for my internal tests

already got a blazed marvel post. the adpocalypse is closer than we think so heres your daily PSA

don't interact with corporate tumblr accounts

yes even to dunk on them. i don't care if you have the sickest burn of the century lined up, don't even give them the time of day

the eventual and inevitable fall of twitter marks a change in the advertising industry, and tumblr is unclaimed territory. if we want tumblr to remain the social media bastion it has become, it needs to remain as unappealing to corporations as possible. do not engage. in a marketing strategist's eyes, any kind of attention is good attention. don't "silence, brand" them. don't kungpowpenis them. don't send them hate anons. don't hate-follow them. corporate tumblrs are not a single entity and they will not be harassed off this site. we only have a shot at repelling them because of tumblr's lack of an algorithm. so turn off recommended posts on your dashboard, put it chronological order, and install an adblocker. if you don't seek out these blazed posts and actively ignore them when they happen upon you, the corporations will starve. in this case, the best kind of protest is a silent one

huge heating pad recall

mighty bliss heating pads are being recalled due to hundreds of FDA reports of them sparking, burning, overheating, and causing electrical problems. these heating pads can electrocute you and might catch on fire.

this recall applies to over half a million units sold on amazon and walmart's websites between July 2021 and July 2022.

affected model numbers:

if you have one of these dangerous heating pads, the manufacturer advises you to unplug the heating pad, make sure it is entirely cooled off, and then CUT THE PLUG COMPLETELY OFF to make sure nobody can ever use it again.

check the FDA website for lot numbers and further information.

Hijab - a symbol of dignity, inclusion and liberty when it is chosen to be wore.

Hijab - a symbol of oppression and cruelty when forced to be wore.

It isn't about hijab, it's about choice. If I want I will wear it, if I don't I will not. No one can stop me from doing so. Forcing someone to not wear hijab is wrong, every person has a right to do so but forcing someone to wear it is equally wrong.

The condition in Iran is not to be taken lightly. Mahsa Amini, a 22 year old was beaten to death by the police because of not wearing hijab properly. People in Iran are protesting for their rights. Women are cutting their hair off and burning their hijab to show what they want. Internet services are shutting down so that the people of Iran cannot use their voice.

It is now our responsibility to be their voice. If they can stand upto their government without any fear, why can't we be their voice?

Hijab is beautiful when it is chosen to be wore but it's beauty dies when it is forced.

If a 14 year old can understand that, why can't the whole world do?

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that 30+ brands of nutrition drinks including but not limited to Ensure, Pediasure, Glucerna, Oatly, and Premier Protein just got recalled for possible contamination with the bacteria that causes botulism, a paralytic toxin with a lethal dose of 1.3 nanograms. If you've purchased one of the affected lot numbers please return it to the store to be properly disposed of as a biohazard but do not accept any compensatory gift cards because that can be counted as a settlement if you need to file a lawsuit over for any potential damages caused by this later on. If you have any questions regarding the recall there's a phone number listed in the article above that you can call, but if you believe you may have ingested toxins then please call your local poison control line. Stay safe

If y'all wouldn't mind boosting this that would be great. Many disabled people including myself and several of my friends drink these brands to help with diabetes/nutritional definiciencies/etc, and a lot of these brands are also popular choices for senior citizens, young children, and athletes. If someone happens to get a bottle that's contaminated with botulism (especially if they're disabled, elderly, or a child) a single sip could potentially kill them

To clarify, when I say "don't accept compensatory gift cards" I don't mean you can't get a refund. You can still get the item refunded but if they say "oh we're so sorry that this happened, let us give you a $20 gift card as well to make it up to you" turn that gift card down. If later on it turns out that you were affected and you try to sue the company for medical bills and damages the company can claim that you already reached a settlement of $20 with them and you're no longer able to sue. This is done in some companies both for recalls of dangerous substances and for on-property injuries that the company could be held liable for. Don't fall for it

Okay. Making this post mostly for my own benefit but maybe some of y’all need to hear it too:

When there are days like today (or years like the past two to six years at least that we’ve been having) that start to change the fabric of society as we knew it, feeling angry and powerless is the first reaction and it’s a completely natural one. Your first order of business is to slow that emotional spiral, if you can, and if you can’t, reach out to a loved one to ride it out with. Distract yourself. However you need to, get the heart rate down and the anxiety to a manageable point.

Next step is to accept that as basically an average person, your ability to enact change on a massive national or international scale alone is…unlikely. Your sphere of influence is small. That’s okay. There are still things you can do for yourself, and equally importantly for your community.

If you have money you can spare that won’t deprive you of important needs to spend elsewhere (medicine, food, shelter, bills first): there are an overwhelming amount of causes that are always accepting donations. My suggestions based on today would be local abortion funds, food banks, bail funds, and international relief programs. You decide what is most important to you to donate to, and make a donation. Doesn’t have to be a recurring donation, even one-time donations help. Even those occasional grocery store or restaurant promotions where you can round up your meal cost to the nearest dollar and that change will go to a charity is a small way to make a contribution that does make a difference.

If you have time and energy: volunteer work could be for you. Look into your local food banks and homeless shelters and animal shelters and see if any of them are taking volunteers. If that’s a bit much, look at your community, your neighbors, your friends, your families. See if there’s a need you can fill, a chore you can do or an errand you can run or babysitting or pet sitting or just sitting and chatting and spending time with someone who doesn’t get many visitors.

If you have the bravery to contact strangers: start calling local and state representatives. Start causing a ruckus. Look up bills that Congress and state governments are considering and speak up to your representatives. This can feel meaningless, especially if you’re in a right-wing-dominated area. But every little bit helps. Encourage like-minded friends in the area to do the same. I think even ResistBot is still a good option, to my knowledge. And when the polls are open, if you’re able to then GO. That is the most powerful thing a citizen can do to make sure their voice is heard. I live in the Deep South, I know how futile it feels to have opinions contrary to the majority in your area. But you aren’t the only one who thinks the way you do and believes the way you do. Your vote, your voice, matters. It matters because it adds to the voices of people who think the same way you do, and a bunch of voices in unison is still louder than defeated silence, even if those voices are drowned out. Maybe someone heard you and will add their voice next time, make the unison stronger.

Change starts small. Burnout and fatigue and panic and despair are powerful but you aren’t meant to change the world alone. You don’t have that responsibility. Your responsibility is to do what you can to make your corner of the world a little better and a little brighter—however you can. Even if you’re just taking care of yourself because that’s all you have energy for, that’s perfectly okay. Even if it’s helping one person in whatever tangible or intangible ways available to you. Even if all you can do is cry. You’re still here. And if you’re here, you’re winning, and there’s a chance to do more tomorrow.

US SUICIDE PREVENTION HOTLINE IS CHANGING ITS NUMBER

Taking effect July 2022, the US Suicide Prevention Hotline will change from 800-273-8255 to the three digit code of 988. Especially with families and communities reeling from back to back tragedies, it is super important to share this information!

Repeat: Starting July 2022, the US Suicide Prevention Hotline will be 988

i need y'all to steal and repost my anti-lawn memes to as many pinterest boards and facebook pages as possible

I got 60 out of 1000 😂

I've read 140.

I got 56, which is honestly a lot higher than I thought I'd get

68 🥲

Sick sick sick of possibility of being fucking recorded every waking second by tiktok obsessed quasi celebs. Video titled something like "Caught him thinking he's the main character" but it was just a kid wearing headphones, looking out the bus window. Of course it was posted without his knowledge. Stop recording strangers and everything you see, nobody gives a shit and not everyone is happy to be on tiktok or youtube because of a moron with no braincells and an account. What could be a forgettable awkward moment is now permanently there for the victim of lackabrainis infested idiot to get anxious about forever.

Okay, this seems like a relevant thing to share today: I've been in this position. Back in college while on that student lifestyle, I somehow ended up with a pretty bad iron deficiency. How bad? I was not only sleeping too much, I was falling asleep everywhere -- in class, in the library, in cafes five minutes after drinking coffee. It was terrible. Anyway, during a class I enjoyed, I was sat at a table with a few classmates, and I started falling asleep while taking notes; nodding off, dropping my pen, startling awake and falling asleep again, until my head was on the table. No one seemed to mind, we were all going through it I guess, and my lecturer was nice enough not to make a big deal out of it.

Cut to the next day and I was in the Students Union, when a friend came up to me and told me how funny that video was of me falling asleep in class was. What? I asked her about it, what did she mean, who made the video, and she realised I literally had no clue about it. Kindly, she told me who to talk to and I thanked her. I was already upset, but I knew it wasn't the messenger's fault. So, I took to Facebook and messaged the girl who made the video -- a girl on my table in the class from before. I asked her about it, and she admitted it right away -- she took the video on her phone during class and posted it to her snapchat. That's how the other girl saw it, not to mention countless others.

Sorting this out was an absolute toil. I felt betrayed and violated that someone would do that while I was obviously not in a position to have any say about it. I lost friendships with the people who took the girl's side, as if it was no big deal or "funny". I had to tell the lecturer about it, because let's face it, that's a shit thing to allow to happen during class itself, the department moved to be more alert and proactive about restricting phone use in class, and all that girl had to do was give a half-hearted apology. The next semester, she was still openly using her phone in another class we had.

For a long time, I couldn't trust anyone who held their phone up around me, as if to take photos or video. It would make me so anxious and put me on edge. I never did speak to the people who cosigned her behaviour, who acted like it wasn't their problem that their bff video-recorded a person in class over their health condition without their consent.

I did eventually grow out of my anxiety around phones, and I resisted the urge to break that girl's phone, but, I will absolutely bring back that energy if I see someone record a stranger in public without their consent. Take it from someone who's been that target -- if you think it's okay, you deserve to get your shit wrecked.

I just want to add, in case anyone reads this and isn't sure -- yes, it is absolutely fine to reblog this, and in fact I encourage you to. If testimony from a former target of this behaviour is the one thing that makes it click for anyone thinking of doing it, if it makes them reconsider before potentially ruining a stranger's life, then my experience will be worth it for me.

Don't record strangers and put that shit on the Internet or social media without their consent.

FRIENDLY REMINDER TO ALL IN THE MARIBAT FANDOM

please, when tagging your creations and works, do not use #(insert first name) wayne, #marinette dupain cheng, #miraculous ladybug #dc comics/universe #(insert dc/miraculous ladybug character) solely without the implication of a crossover because this is what gets maribat onto feed recommendations of antis and we don’t want fighting. here is a list of acceptable tags to use, examples of such, and some implications of these. my tags are going to feature some of the acceptable tags to use

# maribat(insert character name)

edit: thanks @legends-live-in-memories for the tip and heads up! so updated version because tumblr has shitty search engines and tagging stuff, it’s better for any mention of characters to have no space because if they have spaces, it includes keywords instead of solely the tag so yeah. this also applies with character x character, do it like characterxcharacter

# maribat

# maribat (whatever)

# dc comics x miraculous / miraculous ladybug

# (crossover* ship names)

# (character) x (character)*

# (insert ramble about maribat or your concept/idea/ff/drabble/hc)

# (insert vague tag in relation to this fic)

hope this was helpful and please for the love of all things fandom follow this because i don’t want another tumblr bloodbath

if you are a person in the maribat community, please spread this. if you are an anti, please spread this (look, mr/ms/mx anti, if you spread this post, people who follow you and are in the maribat fandom will hopefully stop posting this stuff on your feed so win for you, win for us). if you are a person in the dc universe fandom or the mlb universe fandom who just doesn’t give a damn, please spread this. tag the people you know who are even remotely related to any of the topics i have just raised. get the word out so that we don’t step on each other’s toes.

also:

Spreading this around again as I’m seeing an uptick in Maribat posts using common tags from miraculous and DC. Stop. It’s not what we do, and we do so for a reason.

Thank you.

Hey OP? What the FUCK does this mean?

decay exists as an extant form of life

That’s a terrifying answer, have a nice day

HAPPY TWOSDAY!!!!! I offer you a poorly drawn meme :)
