To people who are desperately asking for fundz/donations on tumblr.

USE THESE REDDIT SUBS INSTEAD PLEASE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!!!!!!!

Hate Reddit if you want, but using these subs are your best chance. People gather in these subs because they have charity to spare:

/r/Assistance /r/legaladvice /r/RandomKindness /r/Charity /r/care /r/Random_Acts_Of_Pizza /r/Food_Pantry https://www.reddit.com/r/RandomActsOfPetFood/ https://www.reddit.com/r/RandomActsOfChristmas/ https://www.reddit.com/r/almosthomeless/ https://www.reddit.com/r/homeless

/r/freelance  /r/povertyfinance /r/thrifty /r/borrow /r/gofundme

/r/depression /r/familysupport /r/transitions 

I never see anyone actually getting any significant donations on tumblr and to be honest, tumblr is the worst place to ask for assistance. Use it as your last resort, it frustrates me to no end seeing people begging for help, reblogging the same post over and over, the same types of posts over and over, to no avail, when people are waiting to help you on a different part of the web  GO TO WHERE THE HELP IS. IF YOU WANT DIRECT ACTION TO WORK STOP WITH TUMBLR AND USE REDDIT.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF SATAN REBLOG THIS SO WE CAN START REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF DONATION POSTS THAT GET STUCK FLOATING AROUND THIS WEBSITE

I've got several issues with the proposed Tumblr blackout, but chief among them is the fact that it lands on the first day of Disabled Pride Month and the fact that there are people calling for it to become indefinite when disabled folks already have limited access to their communities, and many of us are losing what little reliable access we have because of places like Reddit going dark.

Like... idk. Maybe I'm being uncharitable. But the prioritization of ensuring Pride is minimally interfered with while the first day of Disability Pride is just taken away is rubbing me the wrong way.

And just to be clear. I don't think anyone is doing it intentionally. But I also think that's the problem. No one thinks about disabled people except other disabled people. I wish they would.

I have a chronic illness and I didnt even know there was a Disabled Pride Month.

Yep! It’s been a thing since July 1990 to celebrate the landmark passing of the Americana with Disabilities Act.

We even have a flag which @capricorn-0mnikorn created.

So welcome to your first Disability Pride. I know it’s technically tomorrow, but it’s never too early to find out you have a community and be welcomed by it :)

Who’s calling for it to become indefinite? That, I would be against. But in its current form it seems fine.

And as a disabled person, I didn’t know about this July disability month. It seems US American-centric tbh. Not that it’s totally useless, of course, it just doesn’t have the same significance. I think we have more to gain in a short, 1-2 day blackout than we have to lose. Because a demand of the blackout is to fix some of the accessibility issues caused by recent changes.

There were numerous iterations in the notes from some people calling for it to become indefinite.

And while Disability Pride Month was to originally commemorate ADA, it is celebrated globally, with many other countries aligning with the US celebration.

Many people just don’t know it exists because Disabled Rights and issues are universally overlooked or ignored.

That you don’t recognize it’s importance does not mean it is not monumentally important to many of us and has been since the 90s.

And the blackout will not achieve anything. Fuck, it’s barely achieved anything on Reddit except to displace already vulnerable communities with limited access to community.

If you want to protest Tumblr, leave negative reviews on the apps citing the issues. Withhold money. Not this… token whatever this is supposed to be.

I know I've been over this but man HRT is good stuff. I wanna shake the hand of whoever invented it. It's a crime that I don't know who that is actually. They're more important than Einstein

id also been really curious about the history of hrt so i had some tabs open:

The first hrt treatments were mostly estrogen extracted during pregnancies to be used for menopause symptoms, but the first usage of those medicines for trans women is credited to the world's first Trans Clinic, opened in pre-WW2 Germany by Magnus Hirschfield, a gay jewish man.

Oh he looks delightful

Thank you grandpa

The comparasion to Einstein was actually made at the time too! He was commonly refered to as “the Einstein of sex”, to which he supposedly once replied that he would rather Einstein be called “the Hirschfeld of physics” lmao

Oh my god

media depictions of hacking are so funny because it's all like dudes in hoodies with Anonymous masks in pitch darkness, and when you actually meet these ppl you realize 90% of hacking happens in one of these two rooms:

this is true

if its 1:00am when you're reading this you know what to do!

that's right! it's research traditional methods of moroccan architecture, which follow strict mathematic structures and formulas to create stunning tilework and arches, often also utilizing a special form of clay endemic to morocco famed for its sculptural qualities which are difficult and even impossible to reproduce in other regions! additionally, the cultural significance of the various motifs and colors used throughout moroccan architecture, both in religious and in secular buildings, are distinct and highly formalized, honed over many h

FUCK YEAH MOROCCAN ARCHITECTURE

have you looked into muqarnas yet?

yes! i was actually referencing muqarnas when speaking about the clay! morocco's carved clay and plaster muqarnas are famous for their intricacy and detailed fretting!

Sometimes muqarnas are carved wood. Regardless, Moroccan architecture is ABSOLUTELY BONKERS.

Just so we're all on the same page with the writer's strike.

If during the strike, it's announced about AI generated shows. We are not watching them. Not even out of curiosity. Let them fail every AI generated show they try make.

The human voice can not be replaced by AI. Don't let them try.

It shouldn’t be surprising that writers have some of the best strike signs in existence

keep seeing Temu ads on here so just to share cause idk if people are widely aware

EDIT TO ADD: here’s a snopes article some lovely people have been reblogging with. imo it essentially confirms the claims made above but always do your own research and decide for yourself - i’m just a person in the internet. ALSO just to clarify i absolutely do not support or participate in sinophobia - the app could be from the moon for all i care i shared to make people aware of its aggressive data mining (something which apps from all countries can and have been guilty of)

Fully losing it at this facebook screenshot. 22 inches of green and 1.5 of carrot.

TV Executives: “if the strike goes on, you won’t get new episodes of your favorite shows! You won’t get new movies you were looking forward to! Isn’t that terrible, what the writers are doing to you?”

Me: Bitch, that might have been an effective threat in 2007, but we have since survived a Covid shutdown and discovered ways to amuse ourselves while we waited, we can outwait this shit, too. I got a pile of shows saved I haven’t even watched yet, and a Mt. TBR waiting for me.

Compensate (and respect) your writers for their work, assholes.
