60 weeks of DBT group in one tweet

It's an odd cycle.

The big social media sites falling apart got me thinking a lot about how I've often just screamed about my characters into the void hoping to reach people who enjoy my musings. But as things fall apart, my desire to make some sort of long form media like a game grows. Instead of getting to know my OC through randomly broadcasted thoughts, I want to create something where you get to know them through one defined work.

Maybe this work won't tell their whole story to you. Maybe you won't learn everything there is to know about this character. But at least you'll learn enough about them through a narrative.

Extremely dangerous how "grooming" in the context of child sexual abuse went from being a very specific pattern of isolation and trust-building with the aim of abusing someone to "telling children anything that contradicts their parents' ultra-conservative worldview is grooming" to "selling rainbow flags in a store is grooming" to "literally anyone I don't like is a groomer".

These days the word seems to most often be used by people who don't care about what it actually means and just want an easy "this person is irredeemably evil, kill them now" button.

i feel these needed to be compiled. feel free to add more genre related posts in the notes if you want

Was sporadically working on a rig of my friend's oc through the past few months and finally finished and got to test it today! They're going to urgay 🏳️‍🌈

Btw, if you're new to tumblr, or even if you're not new to tumblr but don't know, if there's any little features that annoy you or QOL things you want, chances are you should download Xkit to more fine-tune customize your experience. Not sure if this is still common knowledge as it used to be, but it's a great help.

For the unfamiliar: there are three extensions called XKit, for historical reasons. The one you want is called "XKit Rewritten". It is a browser extended which can do many things to improve your Tumblr experience. One of my favourites is called "panorama", which simply makes your dash actually use whatever horizontal space you give it, rather than occupying no more than the middle third of your screen and filling the rest with empty space for no good reason.

Since it is a browser extension, XKit is only useful for the browser version of the site, but it improves things so much that you may find you never want to use Tumblr Mobile ever again.

To add onto this even more, I actually use a combination of both "Newxkit" (which no longer updates, but still has some features I find too good to do without, like mouseover reblogs and other QOL tweaks) and "Xkit Rewritten", which is a browser extension that allows you to, as said above, disable tumblr live. For reference on how great xkit is though, I didn't even know tumblr had changed its layout to try and look like The Devil's Web because it's like this

To anyone new, "XKit" (the original tm) has been discontinued since 2016 or sth, meaning the original coder no longer updates it. "XKit Rewritten" is made by completely different people who continue the good work the original xkit guy started.

Idk anything about "Newxkit" but if it no longer updating, then "Xkit Rewritten" is the most up-to-date one among the three of them.

Losing it over some of y'all's tags btw Here's my favorites

and lastly.

good night

I slept in and just woke up, so here's what I've been able to figure out while sipping coffee:

This man wants you to give him control over all of your financial information.

i am hopelessly in love with this

Look at this point if something in a TV show feels off, my first, immediate response is, "who in the corporate office fucked them over?"

Wonky writing? Something feels rushed? Animation errors? First question should be, "Who was fucking over the production team? What were the censorship notes? Was this what the team actually wanted to do, or were they strong-armed?"

I think a lot of y'all are way too fast to blame the writers and animators for issues that wouldn't exist if the studio executives and the censors weren't fucking it up for everyone.

Pay the writers. Pay the actors. Pay the animators. And for god's sake, stop blaming them for industry-wide issues that the unions are actively trying to fight against.

It's amazing how many garbage takes could be avoided with a single Google search.

There are tons of amazing sculptors still working today.

I mean, has the internet already forgotten the hammerhead shark made out of hammerheads?

I feel like this is a good time to bring back this classic...

Don't be a dork ass loser.

Very good to know. Also, my 2 cents is that American is always awful.
