Hello! She/Her, 25. Full of various conditions and disorders. I like many things. This blog will always be inclusive of trans, nonbinary, and aspec people.

Maybe plow the Lord’s fields in heaven

these new bots are NOT OK. Them having actual tumblr names is giving me psychic damage. I feel like curling up in a corner and crying.

yesterday "remainingforefinger" followed me and the fact that this ISN'T a nonbinary autist from Poland who works as a dentist's assistant, but A BOT, makes me want to SCREAM.

Pour one out for this choice bot url

people trying to insist a fandom is tiny when it /only/ has a few thousand works on ao3 meanwhile my current fandom is a sixteen book series and has several hundred fewer works than goncharov, a movie that, and i cannot stress this enough, doesn’t even exist

Is funny when doctors and other peeps act like my problem is that I’m obsessed w/ my disability. Um no. You have it backwards. The problem is I HAVE to be cuz it is a constant problem.

I love when you see someone reblogging a text post multiple times because you don’t know if tumblr glitched on their end or if the post, “who else up garging they goyle” really fucking resonated with them and they just had to rb that mf 4x

How come no one’s talking about how Jerma came out?

I’d like to apologize for spreading misinformation last night. I had half an edible and was watching Jerma while high, and after hearing Jerma talk about his experience with having adhd, I came to believe that he had just came out as gay. That being said, I did find these replies to be quite humorous when my boyfriend read them to me last night.

reminder that even if the world health organization says covid is over, it isnt.

Turns out it was just a bunch of news organizations completely misrepresenting what the WHO said. COVID isn't over. They're shifting from "world health emergency" to long term strategies because major countries failed to even contain it because they were so adamant to send everybody back to work as fast as possible. WHO's announcement that COVID is no longer a global health emergency isnt something to celebrate. It shows that everyone (governments and anti-maskers/vaxxers, mostly) collectively failed to care enough.

of course. news organizations took this and rolled with it, misleading everyone into believing COVID is no longer anything to worry about. exactly what they said Not To Fucking Do

[Image IDs: Various tweets by the World Health Organization, quoting Dr Tedros:

"It is therefore with great hope that I declare #COVID19 over as a global health emergency.

However, that does not mean COVID-19 is over as a global health threat.

Last week, COVID-19 claimed a life every three minutes - and that's just the deaths we know about"-@DrTedros

"As we speak, thousands of people around the world are fighting for their lives in intensive care units. And millions more continue to live with the debilitating effects of post-#COVID19 condition"-@DrTedros

"This virus is here to stay. It is still killing, and it is still changing. The risk remains of new variants emerging that cause new surges in cases and deaths"-@DrTedros #COVID19

"The worst thing any country could do now is to use this news as a reason to let down its guard, to dismantle the systems it has built, or ot send the message to its people that #COVID19 is nothing to worry about"-@DrTedros

"What this news means is that it is time for countries to transition from emergency mode to managing #COVID19 alongside other infectious diseases"-@DrTedros (Note: At the end of the tweet is a link to another tweet, but the link is cut off) /end]

So the newest wave of bots seems to have

  • plausible tumblr usernames (words or a phrase, not real names or number)
  • women's photos as profile pictures
  • blank blog title/description
  • no visible likes, follows, or posts

I felt bad about reporting the first one, because I was like "this COULD be a person, possibly..." But by the third one I got over that.

ugh I had the same confusion

They've actually evolved further now. The ones I've been noticing for the last week or so now look like this:

  • A plausible url as described above
  • A (woman's) name as both the blog title and blog description
  • A picture of a woman as the pfp (or sometimes still no pfp, but that's less common.)
  • No header image, and blog is default colors. (No visual customization.)
  • All of their posts are very nsfw videos, typically reblogged from other bots. So if you're going to block them, do it from the top. Do NOT scroll down.
  • Unfortunately if you're on mobile, when you click on their blog, you will be forced to see part of their top post, so either cover the bottom half of your screen or just be prepared to see some very nsfw content. (Aka, literal porn.)

A good addition, thank you!

What I'm seeing is that the completely blank blogs are the ones likely to follow you, while the actual porn-filled ones scurry around liking real people's posts. Unfortunately, this looks like actual strategy (it's harder to detect a bot mixed into your notifications of likes than it is to notice one that just followed you). I hate it.

Idk if there's an actual benefit to reporting blank blogs, but for porn bots, please report it as spam and not for sexual content
