I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF
This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.
Then bring me luck
the day after I posted this last time I was notified that I was selected for a really cool mentorship gig and got an unrelated glowing review at work
Hoping that my housemate will move out oop--
Tumblr's reply to the situation with CEO's transphobia is pathetic and you should not be thanking them for doing the bare minimum of saying he's not speaking for them. They fucking thanked that bitch.
The affected trans women are still banned.
A transphobic manchild offered no proper apology. Or stopped. He is also still in his position.
Tumblr is still factually transphobic. Keep pushing.
Yet another deleted blog, fantastic
They know what they’re doing. They know exactly what they’re doing when they see their users speaking out and nuke them. There is no error or compromise here, this is active malice on staff’s part and they will continue to treat black and trans bloggers like dirt if you just let them.
many people were confused about some of my previous posts, so for the sake of clarity i am condensing everything! tumblr has extremely transphobic moderation practices, often flagging completely innocent posts as explicit, solely for containing trans women in them or mentioning transgenderism. while letting untagged porn in sfw tags (ive literally seen porn tagged as "sfw agere") and blatent hatespeech, especially twards trans people (just look at the "gender critical" tag) go completely unchecked recently the CEO of tumblr had a big public hissyfit about people (rightfully) calling him transmysogenistic, going into random trans womens dms to harrass them, and saying that predstrogen saying she "hopes he explodes with hammers and then explodes again and hammers fly everywhere" is a death threat and saying he is calling the FBI on her (repeatedly misgendering her and calling her "it") and many bloggers, apon speaking out about it or even making harmless jokes (one trans woman posted a picture of a car and a hammer with the caption "reblog to scare matt" and got nuked for it) and many are very very angry (rightfully) about this whole affair and tumblr in general. if you would like to look into it i reccomend scrolling the "predstrogen" tag as she is the case most people are talking about at the moment. So, what can we do? this is clearly an ongoing issue, and, dispite having lost a lawsuit about their transphobic moderation in the past (see : https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21274288-tumblr-nycchr-settlement) its clearly not gonna stop with just user complaints, as staff members are perfectly content to just go scorched earth on users who even so much as lightly poke fun at them well if you want to help you should contact the human rights commision (i will give clear details further down) ! you dont have to be in the US, nor be an adult to file, and it only takes a few minutes. this is the best and most effective method to fix this, because it hits tumblr where it hurts. human rights acencies have a lot of legal and financial power and tumblr CAN NOT just ignore them, and given that this will be the seccond time this is happening, the commisions shouldnt be playing nice anymore eaither. its really important that AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE FILE, and with different examples! while maybe your case might not be enough to prop up a lawsuit on its own, we need to prove a general trend. so every little bit counts! to respond to another question abt this ive gotten, as for what exactly to report, you should a) write about an act of discrimination youve recieved on tumblr that was eaither administered by a staff member OR that staff refused to give adequate moderation action in for example : a terf posted some blatent hatespeech targeted twards you, and you reported them, and staff looked at the issue and refused to persecute it. example 2 : you were unfairly flagged, deleted, or otherwise punished by a staff member and you are queer ( AND the post they banned you for has some kind of tie to your gender, ex : a sfw transition progress photo ) OR b) if you have not personally recieved something like that, please look for other peoples stories (THEY SHOULDNT BE HARD TO FIND, within the last couple of hours trans people have been being banned LEFT AND RIGHT for trying to speak on this. i would reccomend checking some of the tags related to what happened with predstrogen) and you should describe that incident as best as possible (be sure to disclose that you are speaking for someone else, ideally you should tell the story of someone you know, if possible.) you can also mention any reports you have made twards people posting blatent hatespeech that, opon reveiwing tumblr refused to prosecute dispite it being very obviously against terms of service. just so nobody gets confused about the filing process, im laying it out in more plain languadge!!
first you should email the SF HRC (san francisco human rights commision), at hrc.info@sfgov.org and say something along these lines :
Hello, I am [full name] from [country or state] and I am filing a complaint against Tumblr, witch is owned by the parent company Automattic Inc. located at 60 29th St, San Francisco, CA 94110.
Tumblr has had previous issues with the NYC DHR for their moderation being unfairly biased against trans women (see : https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21274288-tumblr-nycchr-settlement).
Despite a legally binding agreement with the NYC DHR, staff members still regularly harrass users based on their gender or sexual orientations. For example : on [date of most recent infraction] [describe incident] (if you are describing an incident that did not happen to you specifically, say something like) This incident involves the user [username] who I am not affiliated with (or/) who I am filing on behalf of.
I can be reached for further inquiries about this incident at [email you want to talk over] or [phone number you want to talk over]. (if you would like to be anonymous) However, In the event of legal prosecution against Automattic I would refer to be kept anonymous, where possible, in court proceedings. alternatively, you can also call the SF HRC at : 415-252-2500, you can use the above text as a starting point for this as well, next you want to fill out the form for the NYC DHR (new york city department of human rights) here : https://www.nyc.gov/site/cchr/about/report-discrimination.page for company you wanna put : Automattic and/or Tumblr for address you wanna put : 770 Broadway, New York, NY 10003 for phone number you wanna put : (646) 513-4321 and for category of discrimination you can put : Discriminatory harassment and basis of discrimination you can put : Gender; Gender identity you can then use a similar script on the written section of the form. when describing a specific incident, you should attach as many screenshots and links as possible! (for links, include both a live link and an archival link, so take a capture with the internet archive and have that as an alternative, incase a staff member gets petty.) this should only take a few minutes at most, and it helps alot! you can fill this out if you are a minor, and you dont have to be a us resident, please please take the time!!! and, just to clarify because there are many posts going around that are confused about this tumblr moved offices to san francisco recently, so their main HQ is at : 60 29th St, San Francisco, CA 94110 they DO still have an office in new york city, and thats where their PREVIOUS HQ was, the address is : 770 Broadway, New York, NY 10003
tumblr doesnt let me add this to the original post, i think its too long.. for those who do not have a story of their own to share, nor know of any other peoples experiences who they can speak for i made this seccond template, via modifying one sent to me by @desidov Hello, I am [full name] from [country or state] and I am filing a complaint against Tumblr, witch is owned by the parent company Automattic Inc. located at 60 29th St, San Francisco, CA 94110. Tumblr has extremely transphobic moderation practices, often flagging completely innocent posts as explicit, solely for containing trans women and/or mentioning transgenderism. Meanwhile, unflagged or mislabeled porn, blatant hate speech, and doxxing/harrasment, especially towards trans people and POC, go completely unchecked. Notably, on the CEO of Tumblr Matt Mullenweg ( onsite as "photomatt" ) has been personally harrassing trans women over DMs for speaking out against the transmisogynistic moderation. He directly and very publically permanantly banned user "predstrogen", a trans woman, for making a "threat" against him. The statement in question being "i hope photomatt dies a painful death involving him exploding with hammers and then explodes again and hammers fly everywhere", witch he stated was a direct threat on his life and safety, and stated he would be contacting the FBI over. He made many public statements about this moderation decision, in witch he repeatedly misgendered her and refered to her multiple times as "it". And repeatedly threatened to persecute her legally for trying to speak out about it. Regarding his moderation action against user predstrogen, he repeatedly flagged and took down SFW photos of her, notably a post with 2 selfies of her showing her transition progress, as NSFW. And refused appeals or any further critisism of this action dispite visable backlash. Many other blogs have been banned unfairly for spreading info about predstrogen (and other trans women) being wrongfully flagged or banned. With at least 3 blogs permanently banned immediately after predstogen for criticizing the staff's decision. ( users being : "nebulaaaaaa" , "mozzarella-firefox" , and "8millionsystem" ). I am not affiliated with "predstrogen" , "nebulaaaaaa" , "mozzarella-firefox" , or "8millionsystem", and am filing on their behalf. Tumblr has had previous issues with the NYC DHR for their moderation being unfairly biased against trans women (see : https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21274288-tumblr-nycchr-settlement).
Despite a legally binding agreement with the NYC DHR, staff members still regularly harrass users based on their gender or sexual orientations. Matt Mullenweg has been diliberately hiding evidence, or removing posts and banning users who mention any of the above issues. Often using non standard moderation tools to do so, ones witch delete ALL content posted by the offending blog, whereas in normal circumstances photos and videos that are shared by other users with a tie to the banned account remain.

I did a color tutorial. It’s so big that I had to upload it to dA, though.
DISCLAIMER: I did this all in one day and I stayed up extra late doing this, so like, I got really delirious and tired halfway through. But I couldn’t sleep, so I figured “screw it. I gotta finish it”. So, if this tutorial actually turns out to be bad, I’m so sorry. I tried my very best to give good advice, even if I was exhausted and tired, so please give this a read if you have trouble with colors.
great stuff here from Cube
Two years?! I’m in!

I need to follow up to say I reblogged this last night, and this morning I got some of the best news of my life, like, a life dream come true news thing.
Bagel what are your powers
FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterday’s night “just for fun and because I don’t want any bagel to be mad with me”, and today’s afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.
THE BAGEL POWERS ARE WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS WORLD
I GOT A JOB THE DAY AFTER MY QUEUE POSTED THIS THE FIRST TIME AND I JUST REALIZED IT WHEN I SAW IT AGAIN HOLY GOD
The bagel hasn’t let me down yet!
I got a job offer after reblogging the bagel. Believe in the bagel!

Last time I reblogged this, I was complaining to my mum how I never got to go on walks alone. Then, she legit said to me, “well why don’t you go down to *censored*?” Which she’d never let me do before. I had three hours. In a place half an hour from home. It works.

Someone on Tumblr was being attacked because their art style was too similar to Garfield. People would make whole callout posts on how the artist sucked because of that.
Ew what the fuck? I'm sorry I would kill be able to have the Garfield art style
STOP BEING EMBARRASSED ABOUT LIKING FAT PEOPLE
fyi the point of fucking up your data patterns isnt to avoid suspicion. it’s to make EVERYONE suspicious. same logic as the bloc, pals. protect your comrades, be suspicious. ESPECIALLY if you aren’t doing anything likely to get you arrested.
the state is less omniscient and significantly more incompetent than you’d think. overextend their resources at every possible opportunity. make them cry wolf repeatedly. run their data analysis agents fucking ragged. and strike. attack.
YES i’m a postgrad statistics researcher and i can tell you that the state honestly has NO IDEA what to do with the data it collects, it has an obsession with big data but it’s almost impossible to work with in practice. the traditional statistical approaches that are used can’t be scaled up, the adapted approaches are substantially weakened, and the machine learning approaches have the same problems and often tell them nothing. data scientists are only just coming around to these issues too, most still just push on with it anyway - incompetence is the word. above all this though, like you say, the biggest issue for the state is at the point of data collection. they will NEVER get anything useful if they’re collecting shitty messy data. they will eventually figure out that the real solution is working how to collect accurate and meaningful data, we should make it as difficult as possible for them to do that
This makes me think that we need WAAAY more apps that generate junk data
Apps that generate junk data? tell me moooore.
Ooh I know this one!
Ad Nauseum is an adblocker that stores the ads it blocks and continuously generates fake clicks, fucking with analytics and costing the ad companies money
TrackMeNot automatically does randomly generated searches on a variety of search engines to obscure your real searches and fuck with analytics, and you can set it up to work with anything that has a search bar (including facebook, twitter, amazon, youtube, etc)
WhatCampaign replaces analytics parameters in links with the string “FuckOff”. I thought there was a similar extension that used random strings, but I can’t seem to find it
Privacy Possum is a fork of Privacy Badger with a focus on costing tracking companies as much money as possible, and idk if my limited tech knowledge is enough to understand what it does but the description does say it falsifies some data so that’s good enough for me
Boy it SURE would be a SHAME if this were SPREAD AROUND for everyone TO SEE
OH BOY I LOVE SHARING
so many jegulus shippers make sirius so aware and concerned about his brothers sex life. like sirius will be fine with jegulus but then find out they had sex and suddenly it’s not okay, or he’s mad at james for ruining his brother’s innocence etc. it’s so weird why are you doing that?
bc in a lot of them he lowkey raised regulus and as a result kinda has a lingering 'this is a child my child my sweet angel reggie' mentality and needs to accept that regulus is a full adult/sometimes older teenager human who can make his own descisions and doesn't need to be protected
also as an older sibling the 'nope ur a child forever' vibe is very relatable
yeah i know and i don’t like it. as an older sibling my protectiveness over my younger siblings does not consist of wanting them in chasity belts. that sounds like something that needs to be discussed and worked through rather than schemed about and hidden from sirius lest he “overreact”
also worthwhile to keep in mind that sirius is only ONE YEAR OLDER.
yeah, i agree, but consider: james is stupid sometimes and sirius is dramatic. they all need therapy lmao
I'm sorry but that seems like a bit of a lazy cop out of an explanation. Wasn't the og question: why is this trope popular? What is the appeal?
Though I guess that would go hand in hand with the question why stupid!James and dramatic!Sirius are as popular. Or why Sirius suddenly thinks that his favorite person is dirty or predatory while his little alt-right brother is the picture of innocence.
i think that sirius seems to blame james instead of regulus because, in a lot of those fic's, he's run away from home and therefore missed his little brother growing up. in his head, he still pictures him as a lost, sweet, innocent child.
I… im on fucking Harry Potter tumbler???
If I was a popular Tumblr blogger, I could go on here and say "my yaoi balls and my yuri nuts hurt" and receive notes one million billion. But alas. The peasant must toil the field.
*aheem*
*humble peasant's bow*
since the old version of this post was flagged for ‘adult content’…
always reblog
ok!!!!! 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
