[ID: a digital drawing of Jason Todd in his Robin uniform. He is sitting with his legs bent and his hands in his lap while his cape pools on the ground behind him. He is looking up and to the left slightly, smiling widely and showing off a missing tooth. There are a couple sparkles next to his face. Next to his knee, the artist’s watermark reads “onipilot”.

Hijab-Described Pinned Post

Hi everyone! This blog is dedicated to making hijabi content accessible to blind and visually impaired users by adding image descriptions. Special software called "screen readers" reads the description aloud, meaning that blind and VI people aren't left out when they can't see an image.

You can copy and edit any of my descriptions. Feel free to paste them directly into the original post if you're OP, or add them onto a different reblog in the chain. Credit appreciated but not required.

If you are a hijab fetish blog: Please do not reblog, like, follow, or interact in any way. The people on this blog aren't here for your gratification and they didn't consent to being sexualized. It is extremely disrespectful and I consider it harassment. I will block you.

I always try my best with descriptions, but if I make a mistake, please tell me! Just shoot me a message and I will edit the IDs! I frequently use they/them pronouns. If you prefer she/her or any other, you can tell me.

Also, if you are in one of my posts and you would like it taken down please contact me. I will take it down asap!

about op

23, white, american, jew-in-progress

i also speak spanish - let me know if you need anything translated / described in spanish !

my academic focus in college was south asian religious art, but i have also studied baroque, coptic, latin american, and andalusian art

i want to avoid formal analysis-type writing, focusing on being concise and clear. i do love describing art, though, and might get carried away, so i am open to constructive criticism !!

I write image descriptions and video IDs sometimes. If you’re the OP, feel free to add my description to the original post. In fact, this is great because it makes the ID more accessible and easy to find!

Also, feel free to send me posts that you need described, whether they’re yours or someone else’s, and I’ll do my best to write an ID for them when I can. Fandom-wise, I’ll probably be better at writing descriptions for things I’m already familiar with, such as Marvel comics, LOTR, Pacific Rim, Homestuck, Paranatural, D20, or Naddpod

Send me an ask/message if you want anything tagged. If I’ve forgotten to tag something, please let me know.

I will block bigots and assholes. I also sometimes block people who aren’t bigots/assholes (sometimes accidentally). If you think I’ve made a mistake, send me an ask.

Have a nice day! :-)

Hello would you mind if I can reblog this post? Also I love your work and it looks really great!

I’m not sure which post you’re referring to but YES!! All of the posts on my blog are free to be reblogged unless they are explicitly tagged “do not reblog”.

The post I made about reposting vs. reblogging really took off which is good because it’s really important for people to understand the difference and know that they’re not the same, BUT it wasn't worded super clearly so here’s a more in-depth breakdown:

reblog: using Tumblr’s built-in reblog button

this makes a copy of the post and puts it on your blog(s) for your followers to see and interact with

it still links back to the original poster (OP), best found through the source link at the bottom of the post, as well as anyone who has added a reblog comment 

the source link can also be an external link if the OP's blog is sharing from another site, i.e. Twitter or Instagram

this is GOOD because if people enjoy the creator’s content, they can easily access their blog/landing page and see more

all of the likes/replies/reblog comments from any reblog still appear on the original post and so are accessible to the OP

very similar to the retweet function on Twitter except that if the OP deletes their original post or blog, all of the reblogs on other people’s blogs still exist

PLEASE REBLOG!! it’s the main feature of Tumblr and it’s how content creators on the site have their work(s) spread around!! unless the OP has explicitly stated that they do NOT want people to reblog their post(s), it’s probably safe to assume that it’s okay to do so

repost: to download, save, screenshot, or otherwise rip a post’s content and upload it in a new post on another blog, website, etc.

BAD! do not do this without asking the creator first (usually the OP) and getting permission to do so 

this means getting an EXPLICIT “yes” and following any other requirements like linking back to the original post, linking the creator’s website/blog, etc.

why is reposting not okay? because it separates the work from the creator and actively makes it harder for people to access the creator’s works

this is a major tactic for “content farms” on places like Instagram where people will steal other people’s work and sometimes profit from uploading it, gaining tons of interactions without ever having to compensate the person who actually made it

if you want to use someone’s art as a profile picture or header (on Tumblr or elsewhere), ask permission as well! some people may not want their art used for this, or may not be legally allowed to say yes

if you do get permission, make sure to still follow any other requirements they set (i.e. credit in your profile’s description)

I’m gonna put some common reposting defenses and what usually does and does not count as reposting under the cut!

Common defenses for reposting:

“I just wanted to share it!”

if you’re reposting to Tumblr... just reblog it. Please.

if it’s outside of Tumblr, you still gotta ask for permission bud, sorry

also, there actually is a share button for Tumblr posts! the button used for sending a post to a Tumblr DM also has share options (the right-facing arrow near Like/Reblog at the bottom of the post). It will create a new post for you on your platform of choice and will link back to the Tumblr post. If you MUST share something outside of Tumblr, at least use this

it also has a very handy “copy link” button so you can grab a direct link to the post

this will, however, grab the link to whichever blog you are seeing it from; I’d recommend doing the extra step of going to the OP’s blog and copying that link

“the OP doesn’t have an XYZ account and I wanted to share it there”

check again

if you're sure they don't, ask for permission, including where you want to post it

use the Tumblr share feature

copy the Tumblr link and add it into the post! hyperlinks (embedding a link in a line of text) are a good way to still link back to the OP while also keeping a post looking "clean"

at the very least, make sure you link back to the creator somehow!

“I don’t remember who made it”

reverse-image Google search! though this can be made unhelpful if it’s a commonly reposted piece (another negative effect of reposting)

if you still don’t remember then maybe? take it down! at the end of the day, it is not yours to post

"the OP deactivated and I still wanna share it!"

unfortunately, that's just the way it is sometimes 😔

if you still have access to a reblog of the post, share that instead!

If you have the ability to go through the trouble of saving and reuploading someone else’s work to anther place, at least go the extra mile and link back to the creator, please

What ISN’T reposting?

sharing something in a DM/text with a friend or group chat (though if you’re doing that, might as well throw in a link to the post too)

using art as a profile picture or header (WITH PERMISSION)

reblogging using the reblog button

Basically, at the end of the day, what's most important is to properly credit/cite the creator. Embed a link, tag them, etc., anything that makes it easier for people to find the creator of the content that you're sharing because it means that you're helping other people find and follow creators you like too!

[ID: Three pride flags. The first has seven stripes of: Very dark blue, royal blue, blue-purple, white, pale red, red, and dark red. The second has five stripes as a simplified version of the first: Very dark blue, blue-purple, white, pale red, and dark red. The last has five stripes of: Very dark blue, purple-blue, light purple, pearly off-white, and pale red. End ID.] [Plain text: Inclusive mean lesbian flags". End Plain Text.]

INCLUSIVE MEAN LESBIAN FLAGS

The mean lesbian stereotype has been one that the lesbian community has reclaimed for years now. However, over time, the original mean lesbian flag and stereotype reclamation began to be used by TERFs, biphobes, exclusionists, racists, and other.. not great people.

So as a fuck you to all the queerphobes who want to eradicate all queer people, as a fuck you to the people who paint all lesbians as cruel, irredeemable monsters, and as a fuck you to all of the people who make lesbian spaces unsafe for any lesbians who aren't cis ablebodied white women, here's three variants of an inclusive mean lesbian flag.

The former two are based off of the common seven and five stripe formats for lesbian flags, and the latter one is based off of the format of the aurora lesbian flag made by @/ferretwlw.

I'm reclaiming this stereotype for lesbians who are mean to queerphobes, for lesbians who are mean to those who stand in the way of queer solidarity, for lesbians who are mean to the racist, transphobic, and ableist people that divide the queer community, and for lesbians who are angry and tired of being stereotyped, policed, and ostracized for their sexuality.

Because fuck lesbophobes and political lesbians, fuck transphobes, fuck exclusionists, fuck queerphobes in general, fuck racists, fuck ableists, and fuck bigots in general.
