#and maybe this is just the straw that broke the camels back

if i’m honest, this might be the thing to push me off tumblr. i’ve been here for 14 years. tumblr is my internet home. but i cannot stand the thought of ai being allowed to scrape through this platform with only a “we /believe/ they will /honor/ what we asked”

i have a lot of reasons why i think that, but im not the best person to explain the dangers of ai and machine learning. but i am so angry about this.

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

hello! I am wondering is Felix (I hope I got his name right.) a worker at the Marigold? Cause at the drawings you post is where he has a flower pin on his suit that looks like a Marigold, unless I am wrong. Dunno... Hmm.

Anyways how did Ari and Felix became exes? What's Rocky reaction to that?

I love your art, it's so pretty. Have a good day and night!

haha, you're not the first person to think he's a Marigold! but nah, he's just a guy from a wealthy family- the flower on his suit is actually a white chrysanthemum

Ari's relationship with Felix was born out of expectations rather than love. he seemed to check all the boxes on what's The Ideal Guy™️ and figured, with time, she would genuinely love him- they were already sorta friends, so..

...but that never happened and she even started liking him less lmao

the day he proposed to her she said no, thinking that at least they could stay friends; instead he just let his ugly entitlement and hurt ego be known ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

before Rocky knew any further details he was probably disheartened to find out Ari rejected a guy like that because, DAMN if not even a fancypants mcmoneybags pretty boy impressed her then what chance does he have?? currently he's aware he wasn't the nicest guy and wants to set his car on fire with him in it

on the other hand, both Ari and Rocky are somewhat thankful for that mess seeing as it was the catalyst for her moving to america ♥️ THANKS FELIX

so happy to hear you like my art, thank you!! ! i hope you have a good day/night too!! 💕💖💕

I had a little leaf sitting on my kitchen window sill from a plant i bought months ago, and it was growing roots slowly and they were starting to get a little bigger (like quarter to half an inch). I'm moving and I had my mom pack up my kitchen and I think she may have thrown away the little leaf that was slowly growing that I looked at every day. And im actually devestated by it. I texted her but she hasnt texted me back and im going to be really really sad if it is in the trash. I tried so hard to save that plant after killing most of it and i was succeeding! She didn't even ask. I really hope im wrong and she will text me back and say no i didnt throw it away i just moved it. And i know shes not going to get why im so upset.

broke: 'surge redemption arc where sonic gets thru to surge and redeems her’ woke: ‘arc where SURGE gets thru 2 SONIC and makes him worse and he abandons his morals because she’s right, if his brand of mercy resulted in her abuse, those values were wrong and together they turn into the scariest ‘heroes’ you’ve ever seen’

By the way, I just realised my Japanese teacher didn't assign me any homework for the weekend again?

hey besties how do you deal with crippling imposter syndrome lol

like it’s not even really imposter syndrome bc I am unemployed and have been for almost half a year (I am so ashamed) and out of the hundreds of positions I have applied to, I have not heard back positively once…. not even an email or phone call about setting an interview, let alone an actual interview. I feel that it’s too late for me to have a corporate career, that being laid off was the last straw, that my silly little finance degree won’t cut it without more experience, that i’m no longer desirable even for entry level positions because technically i am 25 now and was at my old job for a little over a year but haven’t had work since september, that no company will ever want me and even if they do, i’ll never be smart enough or motivated enough to be able to keep a decent paying job because i’ll always feel inferior to everyone around me

(was the AI Makoto angle really that obvious, lol)

Anyway, Monophanie tells Kaede and Tenko that they'll need weapons, or something to improve their chances at success. Luckily, for whatever reason, Tenko says she knows someone. She takes them to a back alley of sorts, where we find Mukuro in a trench coat sporting some eyebags.

Tenko tells Kaede that she's apparently a seriously good fighter that retired, while Kaede gets the feeling she should be running away from Mukuro. Mukuro looks...simply tired, as if she's been through quite the ordeal and wanted to just go home and take a nap. But the second she sees Monophanie in doll form, she feels sick.

Tenko: M-Miss Mukuro, are you all right?

Mukuro: Nnf...I'm fine. It's just...(shakily points at Monophanie) That's one ugly doll.

Kaede: ....It was a gift from my...twin sister? She's bad at picking gifts!

Mukuro: I both pity and relate to you. You should burn it immediately.

Monophanie: ....(internal crying)

Tenko changes the subject and says they need some weapons. Raising an eyebrow, Mukuro asks why they'd need them. Kaede lies and says that she's getting into Neo Akido, which of course cues eye sparkles from Tenko. Mukuro doesn't really get it, but doesn't care even more. So she lets them purchase weaponry.

Monophanie then states that they should also stock up on healing items to ensure they don't get wiped!

SNFAJGNJAKNGJK POOR FUCKING MONOPHANIE

also love mukuro is just here, clearly she's recovering from junko bs, but its very fucking funny that she is just fucking here, vibing, calling the monokubs an ugly doll, girl what happened to you-

i need to learn how to tell my friends when something hurts my feelings

[kiwisandpearls]

this is probably mean and not fully thought out, and maybe I have a bias because I’m not a yuri on ice fan but like…

it genuinely frustrates me how it seemed like some people only started to dislike mappa when they found out the yuri on ice movie was getting cancelled. Not that more and more news was coming out about how mappa treats its animators like shit. No, Yuri on Ice’s movie was cancelled so that’s why you need to be mad at mappa.

[this-love-is-delicate]

me, reeling from the pain of it all as I slowly bleed out: Ya I'm fine haha
