— Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from a Birmingham Jail

Check out these sick pictures my boyfriend took of our cat

I mentioned it before but it is very striking to me that as of the last tumblr update, there are now no (0) ways to open someone's desktop blog from a dashboard post. like you can't access the url dot tumblr dot com page at all now unless you already know it exists. imo this seems like a canary that personal blog pages will be gone very shortly, which would suck, since to me that is one of the only good things this site has going for it

Correction: you can still open the top-level URL.tumblr.com link from someone's avatar on the dashboard (so, someone you follow). Actually, I should specify. Here's a post on the dashboard with seven ways to access a post:

So you can access the custom blog, but not a post on a custom blog, despite the plethora of links. Very annoying.

No, here’s the worst part: you can indeed get the link of the post you are clicking on and view it on the person’s custom blog!

IT’S JUST ON THE FUCKING MEATBALL MENU TIMESTAMP INSTEAD FOR SOME REASON I DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS SITE

oh my god

funniest thing about the “reddit migration” is that I haven’t seen a single post shitting on anyone coming from Reddit. when twitter started bleeding users everyone was firing rent-lowering posts but with redditors skittering about we’ve left the doors open and put out food bowls

I think people need to be more comfortable with illegalism and I’m not kidding. Of course the more legal something is, the safer and easier it is to do, but the more people who disregard the law, the harder it is to enforce. There are plenty of laws on the books that people just ignore and are never or rarely policed.

Becoming more comfortable with little illegal activities makes you more comfortable with bigger more important illegal activities. Additionally, it is crucial to build a wall of silence. Nobody talks everybody walks.

People who give out food without a permit, hold a march without a permit, grow a garden without a permit, are more likely to be people you could turn to to work with on preventing an eviction, or keeping people out of cop hands, or helping your friend Jane get crucial healthcare when it’s not legal in your state.

Communities comfortable with these acts won’t call the cops, and then nobody knows that it’s happening.

People have got to shift from both the idea that lawful = good/ illegal = bad, and that the illegality of something means that’s the end of it, and the only fight left is to make it legal again.

It is actually way better for 100 addicts to get their fix on pain pills than a single person in pain go without. I call this the "Torture is bad" principle. You should be able to get the good stuff forever after a single doctor's visit. If you're worried about addicts fund rehab centers and needle exchanges instead of torturing people.

Among other things if you can't use the legit market you turn to the black market anyway.

if you're worried about addiction, build a society where people get their basic needs met, including pain management.

For the record, im pretty sure I speak for 90% of twitch streamlettes when I say: always use an ad blocker. No matter what.

Like, you’re not stealing from the creator if you do. Unless a streamer is Jerma Sized, ads will provide about five cents a month; twitch has routinely attempted to push ads with “incentive programs” that go nowhere and alienate audiences.

If you want to support a creator, find out where they can be supported- a single 5 dollar donation when you can afford it will literally do more for them than anything twitch or YouTube “provides” via ads ✅

Additionally:

You will see streamers taking more sponsorships in the coming years. Twitch has become significantly less profitable for smaller streamers in the last two years, and Twitch’s latest attempts to change their EULA just exemplify that they want more cuts of what streamers make-

Like, unless a streamer is Jerma-sized, have a little bit of mercy for them when they play some star trak game sponsorship for extra coin. That shit is going towards groceries.

Twitch, YouTube, and every site under the sun want you to see as many ads as possible- it’s almost never actually up to the creator, and if it were anyone’s choice, you wouldn’t be seeing ads.

End blood quantum now

Blood quantum is how much native blood you have in you and it needs to be a certain threshold to qualify you as a tribal member. Blood quantum varies from tribe to tribe.

It means my mom is a tribal member but because my dad is outside of my tribe... I don't have enough tribal blood to enroll. Neither does my daughter. Our "official" indigeneity ended with me.

My dad is still native tho. Just southern native. Others have two parents enrolled in separate tribes and can't enroll in either one despite being Full native because their parents were mixed with other tribes so they don't have enough blood of Any tribe to qualify.

And to what end are they doing this?

Under the treaties the US govt can lay no claim to native land. So how do they fix that? Get rid of the natives, of course.

And since they can't slaughter us in broad daylight anymore they did the next best thing. What the colonial government has ALWAYS done to us and other poc.

Made up a bunch of arbitrary laws to restrain and limit our power and numbers.

And this can't continue. We are the only race who needs to apply to be part of the community we were born into. The only race who needs to prove our blood.

And that's the thing: it's not even based on blood. Racist scientists defined who was a full-blooded native based on things like shoe size, head circumference, and skin pigment.

Not blood. And besides that it wasn't uncommon for outsiders to become part of a tribe!! You didn't need to be native by blood to be native! Blood quantum has made it IMPOSSIBLE for them to qualify and made it impossible for tribes to practice that long time aspect of our culture.

So please share this post. So many people legitimately think natives are extinct and even less are aware that we do more than just sit around drinking all day. Few people have good feelings about us and within that there are a few who actively help. Please be one of those few.

We need support and allies and for our voices to be heard. Please don't let this post just be me screaming into a void. We need people to know what blood quantum is, how archaic and harmful it is, and to help us spread awareness to people who otherwise would ignore us. Use your privilege.

blood quantum was designed to eliminate native americans while the one drop rule was intended to keep african americans slaves in perpetuity

Help me out w 2$ (or more if you can <3)

Okay since enough time has passed that I started talking about where I moved, let me explain a bit further:

I am dealing w three main issues that could use financial support: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

1- Last year on a 90 day notice I ended up selling off my shit and driving- yes DRIVING- to Mexico to live there w my partner. I paid for a permit so I could cross the border w my car- it lasts 180 days, which is up now.

2- Tourist visas are, as mentioned, 180 days after which you HAVE to leave so I recently had to fly out and come back (so I can have a fresh FMM) which costs $$$$

and NOW I have to drive up to the border to clear my old permit and get a new one, which costs $$$ in gas and non-working time

3- And that non working time is a BIG DEAL because in order to get my residency, which will save me from having to do this back and forth again, I have to have an income of $3,600. Take home. As I am self employed that means I have to MAKE $4,800 A MONTH for 6 CONSECUTIVE months in order to get approved. If a month goes under…the clock starts again.

Last month I had a post like this but sadly I still had to pay  myself with $700 from my savings account to make the necessary $4,800

I only need to keep this up for TWO MORE MONTHS but with all the travel I had to do this month next month’s income might get dinged.

PLEASE SUPPORT! Donate!

I’m a Black Indigenous Femme that had to flee FL last year for multiple reasons (it’s basically ground zero for American Fascism rn) and living out of the US has been a lifesaver but in order to lock in the long term stuff I need community support and/or reparations to make it work!

*****Please note I don’t know how much I’ll need, only that my work is thrown off and I’m trying to ask for help BEFORE shit hits the fan. Please help POGM *prior* to the crisis point <3*******

i like how most usernames on discord are already taken so you end up having to put numbers at the end of your name anyway. if only there was already a system in place that allowed people to have the same name but there was something to differentiate them like number discriminators

this is because it was not actually about the discriminators. discord lied about how many people struggled with the previous system because, in actuality, it was some higher-up types that didn’t get it. there was some theorising somewhere that the change is ti facilitate datamining, which would make sense as there’s no other reason to try to make people this perfectly identifiable.

btw as it stands they’re not allowing ppl to ever change their users again so DO NOT pick a bullshit name hoping you’ll get your preferred name later. once it’s in use, it’s not fucking available.

so far, the main thing to do is to reach out thru discord’s support page to tell them how bad a fucking idea is, stop paying for nitro, and have a look at this support thread, which has insanely comprehensive information sources. there’s a change.org petition somewhere in there, too.

but yeah. tl;dr the “nobody understands discriminators <:(” is a distraction.

id really recommend people read the support thread linked here if you have the time. if you think this username thing is just people being upset over nothing then the support thread will inform you of the concerns people have

worth noting that the part of this comment that says you cannot change your username again is not true, discord does allow you to change your username so the commenter above was just misinformed about this. the thread they linked still has a full list of valid concerns
