PLEASE DO NOT INTERACT IF YOU ARE AN NSFW BLOG!!!! Thank you :>

Twitter is, officially, unironically, dead.

Early today, almost everyone was having trouble viewing anything on Twitter. Eventually Elon tweeted this: viewing limits for all users.

Verified accounts - people who buy Twitter Blue - are limited to reading 6,000 posts per day. Unverified accounts can only read 600, and new unverified accounts only 300. He later updated the numbers to 8,000, 800, and 400 respectively, but the impact is the same. And if you're not logged in, you can't see any tweets at all.

This isn't even interacting with posts, such as liking, replying, retweeting, or quote-tweeting. This is viewing. The one basic interaction required to use any social media site.

Elon Musk is clawing back every basic feature and pushing a pay-to-win scheme onto everyone still on the site. And what do you get if you pay? You get to be in a club filled with the most vile, racist, queerphobic losers on the internet who invest their money into crypto, NFTs, and all sorts of lousy scams. No sensible person is going to pay for that.

Once upon a time, Twitter was a fabulous hub for at-the-moment developments. If there was breaking news somewhere in the world, you could know it within minutes. It gradually became a general hub for people of all walks of life, from artists, activists, politicians, everyday ordinary people.

Now it's just a place where you pay $8 to lick Elon Musk's shoe.

To quote a good friend of mine:

Well…THIS is concerning :D

No seriously- WHY would someone do this???

Not a posting limit or something- A VIEWING LIMIT??? WHY IS THAT EVEN A THING???

You know why social media apps get so popular? CUZ YOU CAN ESSENTIALLY SCROLL DOWN FOREVER!!!!

It’s not Twitter. It’s Elon Musk’s PayPal disguised as a social media app

Oh well :(

Soooo…something is happening on Twitter?? I guess???

Something about Elon limiting the amount of posts,mainly??

I dunno cuz I THANKFULLY don’t have a Twitter- but I DO have a tumblr!! And Tumblr getting ALOT more active users cuz of this!!!!

So uhhh…if anyone is happy to explain about what’s happening on Twitter to me more in detail,I’d appreciate it very much!!!! :D

OK. OKAY. YOU GUYS.

I am LOVING the fucking chocolate guy’s netflix show! It’s FANTASTIC! Anf hold on to your fucking boots y’all cause it’s actually not what I was expecting at all!

Do you miss the gentleness of the Great British Bake-Off? THIS SHOW IS SO KIND AND GENTLE! For fuck’s sake, NO ONE GETS KICKED OFF! No. No, Listen to this! When they lose the first challenge (a pastry one), the punishment is… They get private lessons with Amaury to help improve what brought their scores down instead of competing in the second chocolate challenge. 

When the one black lady contestant messed up the first challenge I was super bummed and like, OF COURSE. But NO. She got lessons! She struggled! she worked hard! and she won a later challenge! GROWTH MY DUDES! They are there TO LEARN and GROW and Maybe Win a Big Prize!

They ALL get to stay and keep doing their best! and at the end the one who did the best overall is the one who gets the money prize!

Look at this lovely line up! they make COOL LOOKING FANCY THINGS! Amaury tells us how he does some of the fancy things he does! They OFFER TO HELP EACH OTHER WHEN THEY FINISH EARLY AND GET PROPS FOR THAT! (not taunted for not using their own time better). The set up even kinda makes the one who is like, I’m in it to win it, is the villain and doing bad. The rest who are like, I’m here to learn and grow and maybe make friends! AUGH YOU GUYS!

Amaury is soft spoken and kind, and has a pretty voice and a pretty smile and that’s nice to watch too. The chefs are talented and artistic and they actually give the THE TIME to make nice things! It’s not “Wham out some half-assed garbage in 2 hours so we can shotgun the production and laugh at your garbage” like most cooking shows nowadays. NO! 14 hour challenges! They’re still hard, but they get to actually make cool stuff! fancy stuff! Stuff I want to look at and cheer for them!

The episodes average 38 min and aren’t a huge time commitment, the first episode being the longest one, and there are only 8 total so it’s not like you have to really get in for the long haul. \

WATCH IT! Pump it! we need more cooking shows like this and less that are sad and mean!

:O!!

friendly reminder for the new twitter refugees:

  • change your icon/pfp and put something coherent in your blog description or you're going to get blocked bcs people think you're a bot
  • this site is built around reblogs, so please actually reblog posts(especially art and fics!!)
  • you can set your likes and follows to private
  • checkmarks here are a meme and mean nothing
  • follower counts are private and we like it that way, so get used to not judging people by that metric
  • drama and discourse is boring, use your blacklist and block button liberally
  • DON'T CENSOR YOURSELF!! we can swear and say kill and make fun of corporations all we want, and if you tiktok-ify your tags people who have things blacklisted for whatever reason will still see them, and people who want to see that content won't be able to find it!! spell words out normally, you won't get in trouble!!
  • tumblr live is sketchy as hell and full of fake accounts, if you decide to use it anyway may god have mercy on your soul o7
  • be nice to the reddit refugees, they're our friends <3

Given the size difference between you and DJ, I can’t help but imagine him holding you like this. :3c

I DID IT-

But it does.

It does… one at a time.  It’d be useful to be able to select more than one. G&T but not higher, M&E only, everything but E for those who just don’t like smut. (btw I just checked and there is none of the exclusion filters showing on the search page at least in my computer)

AO3 does ‘and’ filters.

You don’t filter for M&E. You filter for not the other stuff.

I have never seen so many users clearly baffled by and too skittish to push buttons/toggles that are very clearly meant to be used.

If a trusted website has a button and you don’t immediately know or understand what it does, push it. Check out every drop down, every link, every configuration imaginable. Be adventurous. Fuck around and find out. If it breaks the website, they shouldn’t have had that button in the first place. Not on you. Indulge your curiosity instead of complaining it doesn’t do something it absolutely does if you poke around a little.

You’re not going to get a bad grade in filtering by using interface features from AO3, I promise.

Look, there are library systems that don’t have filters as good as AO3. You have to learn how to use Boolean operators (AND OR NOT) and construct a proper query to exclude in several academic databases, and AO3 just performs “NOT” for you by clicking a button.

Do you know how many grad students would love to have the kind of power you have with AO3 in filters?

Ao3 filters are amazing. You can filter out ratings, you can filter out characters or pairings, you can filter out specific tags (as long as it’s an official tag)! (Type it in under “other tags to exclude”)

This is why the antis complaining about seeing content they don’t like on Ao3 is so frustrating. If something squicks you out, filter it, and you never have to see it again! Voila! Or even if it is just something you don’t like. I have High School AUs filtered out because I just don’t like them! It’s an amazing system and makes it so easy to curate your experience.

SCREW IT!!! *Makes the stuffed suit in the fnaf 1 game over screen an oc*

Meet Stuffy!! Previously known as Mike Shmit

Once the nightguard for Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria,he was stuffed into one of the many spare suits.
The Animatronics hadn’t predicted that he would possess the the suit he was stuffed into,however!
The ex night guard has now turned bitter and vengeful,just as the animatronics…towards the animatronics.
He is unaware of the missing children incident,so he thinks that the bots were just cruel monsters who gave him an grim demise he still “lives”,feeling his body decompose inside of him. And so,his only known goal is to make the band reap what they had sow.
Given his unfortunate state,vengeance is the only positive thing he can get out of this.

TUMBLR IS GLITCHING-

If I try to put an image on my post,it’s just gonna be a permabuffer,so I can’t post it :(

FNAF-What happens after “Game Over”?

I don’t really see anyone talking about this possible idea- so- PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS!!!! I’d love to hear it :D anywayysss-

So,we all know fnaf 1’s game over screen!! The player gets stuffed oh noooo- but…did you ever think that the suit itself would be possessed.

To be honest,I think it would be neat to see how the the guard,now stuck as a bloody Freddy suit with his eyes dangling out would interact with his killers!!

I’d like to think the bots themselves might initially panic when they see that the guard is roaming. Still there. He wasn’t MEANT to haunt the suit!! They needed The Puppet for that!!!!!

I honestly wanna see the stuffed guard be vengeful towards the other animatronics. They may just be unaware of the missing children incident,so he doesn’t know why they chose to kill him,but now he’s out for them. The satisfaction of vengeance is the least he can get now that he’s stuck like this. If he had to suffer by their hands,they’ll suffer by his!!

I just feel like this would be really interesting to see play out!!

Again- PLEASE feel free to tell me about what you think!! :D
