The site has moved that's linked here, so here's the new landing page!

How do you create small text and coloured text in rich text box ?? Especially if I use small text, once I publish it it turns into the regular size font. Annoyinggggg

So the thing that you are actually wanting is sadly going to need to be done in HTML.  If you edit the post ever you will need to readd the colors in again.    There is this AMAZING generator that someone on tumblr made that you can do EVERYTHING that you are wanting but I will quickly make a tutorial on how to work this. Under the cut is a tutorial how to do replies that have small text and colors! I hope that this helps you and if you need help with anything else or this doesn’t make a lot of sense /  need more coding replies /  formatting help just send me another message!  If you find this helpful please like / reblog !

Here is what the page looks like when you land on it.

Write up your reply.  I would personally go ahead and put your icon and cut the reply before you do the text so that way all you have to do is add in the html of your reply’s text and be done.

So highlight your reply and go to STYLES and in the dropdown there will be small.  This adds in <small></small> around all of your text for you.

Next, you are going to want to highlight what text you want to be colored and click the button that I have highlighted.  Pick a color!  To explain what is happening in your code  <span style="color:#colorhexhere">Your text would be wrapped up in here</span>  

Scroll down and you will have your full html there.  Don’t touch anything here when it comes to editing it. If you notice a spelling mistake simply scroll back up and fix it and then come down to grab your text.

So I laid down my icon for my reply already  ( not a real reply ) and would have cut the thread with xkit by now.

Go to the gear and go from rich editor to HTML.  

Post your html at the end of the image html.  I went ahead and did that already. 

If you want to see the reply and how it will look on the dash don’t go back to the rich text editor but instead click preview in the html section.  Go ahead and click post when you are happy with this reply.  DON’T GO BACK TO THE RICH TEXT EDITOR OR YOUR COLORING WILL BE GONE.

Asking yall cause I'm kinda confused. Is it really a Poland only thing??

(Oh hey Illia!) I actually don't mind spoilers, since I've yet to be able to finish Inquisition... and doubt I ever will. That's a dope af story, admittedly! At least his ego makes SENSE now, even if I still want to kick his bald head off of his dumb shoulders. Like the football. Fade-imprisonment for a thousand years! (Only a little shade for Solas lovers, I guess. More bald, prickly elf guy for y'all, since I don't want him!)

so funny in dragon age inquisition where everyone was like "hoooly fuck. can solas shut up. can he stop talking about spirits and the fade for 5 fucking secondsss." is like if you had a coworker who texted you nonstop like "broooo I love surfing i love the sea 💦🏝⛵🌊 haha water and shit yo. man let's hit some waves let's cowabunga let's swim with the fishiessss haha hmu" and then you find out he's poseidon

So while I was getting my haircut, the lady asked me if I had other plans for the day and I said:

“I’m just going to pick up the boy from daycare and then it’s date night.”

And the lady says “Oh! How old is he?”

“He’s three.”

“Mine too! Where are you registering him for kindergarten it’s such a hassle-”

And that’s when I realized I said “boy” and not “dog” because I always think of Charlie as “good boy” but this slip up has lead to a miscommunication.

The lady is now 6 minutes into a clearly needed rant about how unnecessarily complex shopping for schools is, esp when you have a neurodivergent child, so I can’t just tell her that Charlie is a dog because then she’ll feel awkward for unloading on me and she clearly has enough going on.

So the rest of the haircut became a game of “how much can I say about Charlie without revealing that he is not a human child?” And the answer is “enough to cover a half hour hair appointment, quite possibly several hours worth if I’m specific enough”

Once again, I suggest The Magicians! The whole premise of the show is time loops. There's a musical episode every season, I'm fairly certain? (And I find the musical episodes a blast, they can sing!) There's definitely 'follow the side-character,' and another obligatory type of episode: the heist (they have a few of those too). Honestly, this show has everything AND it's about a magic school (college, not young kids) in America, so if you dumped a certain terf's magic school IP, you'll be happy to know this one is better in every way!

episodes that i think every tv show should have:

timeloop

whodunit

musical

beach trip

random genre change (especially if it's to a noir detective thing)

one where they get randomly meta and fourth wall breaky but then never acknowledge it again

one where something happened but we as the audience don't actually get to see how it happened and only see it through the unreliable narrated flashbacks as recollected by the characters

I probably would have ended up in your shoes, if I had at all liked the gameplay of any Dragon Age game post Origins... eventually, the only new option would be to try and see what he has going on! But... just because I know someone better doesn't make them not a dick-head, and it doesn't justify his nastiness before - and the thing is? I love a spicy character of any gender. But with him, I don't know what it was/is! My own XIV oc is abrasive and doesn't want people climbing her metaphorical walls! Why don't I like it when Solas is a shit? I don't know.

That line about grifters? Every time I see someone share a gaza-bot begging for money, my stomach turns. Tumblr is riddled with "Hi, please help me, I'm in Palestine and this is my child" posts flooding DMs. And no matter how many times I share posts saying to be critical... people...keep... sharing...the bots. I'm sorry to say that that nice man in your asks saying he's fleeing Palestine with 3 starving children... isn't real. So he's on the run, managed to get a cell phone... also internet somehow... then hopped on TUMBLR of all places?? To message YOU in particular? The odds are infinitely small.

And I'll say it again - there are lists on tumblr of vetted sources that ARE real people. Use those, or do your research... but ffs stop sharing those asks from bots that are taking your money to fill some asshole's pockets. Have people forgotten entirely about the Nigerian Prince email scam? This is that on steroids - taking advantage of a genocide to then take advantage of gullible people online who believe every word they read on the internet.

If you want to help people? Find the vetted sources, or look up official aid orgs so you KNOW your money is helping real people.

A very useful thread on Bluesky:

(There is a lot more. Rather than give you all the images, I've copied the full text below.)

This is not going to be a repeat of 2016-2020. It will be better, it will be worse, but most of all it will be different. Here are things I want every single person to keep in mind as we head into round 2 of a Trump admin.

My credentials: I’m a queer female public interest attorney working on tech policy in DC. I’ve been doing this for a decade--longer than some, not as long as others. I had to navigate three different administrations, as well as Congress, regulatory agencies, courts, and the advocacy world.

FIRST: don’t let despair override your media literacy.

The left has grifters, just like every other movement. If you’re able and compelled to donate, give to orgs with established track records. Avoid giving to individuals, especially anyone who emerges overnight with a one-weird-trick “plan.”

The left is not immune to misinformation, and everyone—EVERYONE—falls for it sometimes, present company included. There is no shame in it. When (not if) it happens to you, you should acknowledge it; delete or retract the post to reduce the spread; and move on.

If a source consistently shares half-truths or outright misinformation, it is not trustworthy, no matter how much “their heart is in the right place.” Unfollow and move on.

Prediction, analysis, and reporting are three fundamentally different things. Learn to identify them for what they are. Reject attempts by amateur “analysts” to predict the future. They know as much as you do.

Real subject matter experts know and acknowledge their limits. They’re also (usually) hesitant to try and predict the future. The best frame their predictions in terms of a range of possible outcomes. Subject matter experts may also disagree with one another! It happens!

SECOND: What we know for sure about how the Trump, how he operates, and how that will impact the next four years.

Trump is a narcissist who avoids reading and doesn’t care about details. He cannot be persuaded by argument or logic; he’s moved mostly by flattery, and will agree with the last person who flattered him. He can and will upend his own administration’s work without warning, often by tweet.

As a result, most policy experts—even those "on his side"—dread him taking an interest in their field. Ask any Republican staffer who worked in Congress during the last administration, and most of them will confirm that their greatest fear was Trump tweeting about anything related to their work.

As such, people who are serious about their work will do everything to make it as invisible and boring-seeming as possible. This is the policy equivalent of defensive camouflage. Lots of “normie” work will continue in silence. (The lion’s share of tech policy ends up in this bucket.)

If you have a niche issue that you care about, now is a great time to donate to orgs that work on it. Lots of money will be funneled to big legacy orgs working on headline issues: ACLU, climate change orgs, etc. Consider sending your donations where they matter most: local, niche, established.

Trump runs his cabinet like the Apprentice. He thrives on chaos and making people compete for his approval. Not only does he not reward collaboration between his subordinates, he actively undermines it.

Moreover, everyone who works with him knows that they’re vulnerable to being thrown under the bus at a moment’s notice, for any reason (or for no reason at all). His cabinet is going to be scorpions in a bottle. They will not be able to coordinate, for good or ill.

One scorpion can still do a lot of horrific damage. But large scale inter-agency coordination is unlikely, particularly after the first few months, by which point he will likely (prediction warning!) have gone through a handful of cabinet secretaries already.

FINALLY: The view from inside civil society heading into 2025.

In 2016, Trump was a largely unknown quantity. The left and establishment right alike wasted a lot of time trying to read tea leaves and make sense of this guy, because he was completely outside the realm of what anyone had dealt with. That’s not happening now.

He did us a favor by broadcasting his plans in advance (aka Project 2025). Civil society has spent the last 2.5 years strategizing around it. We’re not starting off flat-footed.

The Biden admin did a good amount to future-proof its own achievements. Folks can speak to their own areas of expertise, but clean energy and CHIPS and Science Act (investing in domestic semiconductor production) have benefitted from huge sunk investments. That money’s not getting clawed back.

OVERALL TAKE-AWAYS:

It's going to suck. But civil society and the political left have some advantages we didn't have last time. We know him, we know his angles, and we know who he's bringing in--none of which we had in 2016.

We'll get through this. It will be grim, but we'll get through it.

Thanks Meredith. I really valued your analysis over the past few years, and I think this is a reasonable, actionable framework to think about the upcoming storm

Meredith Rose‬ ‪@mrose.ink‬

I really cannot overstate how much time was (necessarily) wasted in 2017 trying to figure out this guy and his influences. The fact that he's not only a known quantity, but ran the most over-studied administration in this nation's recent history, makes this a very different game.

John Cutting‬ ‪@johncutting.bsky.social‬

I bet we can weaponize his narcissism. Let's say some ghoul starts making progress with a mass deportation effort, if we start calling that ghoul that "shadow president" en masse, Trump would fire him in right away and appoint Hulk Hogan or something

‪Meredith Rose‬ ‪@mrose.ink‬

This is exactly why I don't think Musk will last very long. Trump is very clear that he's the only one in the room allowed to have an ego or any kind of brand name.

I had some crappy off-brand portable CD player, and lived in South Carolina at that time, and my parents regularly drove down to Florida to visit family, since both sides were down there...and any sort of bump in the road, or if you let the CD player tilt to the side too much...it would skip. But yeah, my older sisters were more 80s kids - I was born in 88, so I'm more of a '90s kid...that got a lot of sick 80s hand-me-downs, but my sisters would have been the ones with a Walkman cassette player... I seem to recall one of my older sisters having Ice, Ice, Baby on cassette? I don't miss cassette tapes honestly.

"The nonbinary afab who goes by she/her, dresses femininely, and uses a push-up bra when I—" when you what? What's wrong with her?

Is she not nonbinary enough for you? Is the way she experiences her queerness and how she presents not perfect enough for you? Nonbinary people don't owe you androgyny, right? So why is she the exception? Why does she have to hate herself to appeal to your standards? Why is she any less trans—any less worthy of respect—cause it's "not visible"? Queer solidarity my ass. Don't spout this bullshit on Pride, man.

Is the rpevents discord still active?

Yes!

We were just getting too many spam accounts so I didn't update the link. Tumblr was also pretty quiet for awhile and I forgot.

I will put a new one up!
