i work in a library & today someone checked out a season of MASH. thought of u fondly. ah yes, someone i follow on tumblr loves that show. did not say this out loud but they were very excited to get their dvds. hope u have a lovely day 💕

yay!!!! i'm so happy for that mystery person!

"my friend is really into that show."

"really? how nice. what's your friend's name?"

"....... something, probably???"

Swifties like you are trash. You worship her current bf and villianize her ex, no matter what. You make her life harder by attacking people she loved, who did nothing bad to her.

You've obviously never had a real, healthy relationship, that simply didn't work out. You think people only break up because one person did something terrible.

What a loser. You'll never be happy.

I have never villainized Joe, I’ve never even had a strong opinion on the man; I just think it’s kinda shitty that he couldn’t show up during a big moment for Taylor. I also never claimed that the split rested solely on one party I quite literally said “People change and grow apart and that’s normal, it doesn’t mean one person was at fault!” which directly undermines what you’re trying to accuse me of saying.

Yeah I’ve never had a real relationship but that doesn’t mean I don’t understand that relationships require give and take and effort, healthy communication and if things aren’t working after you’ve tried to fix it then maybe it’s best to cherish it for what it was, use it as a learning experience and move on.

It seems like you’re just looking for someone to be mad at and get a rise out of, but unfortunately for you I’m not a punching bag and my anger isn’t triggered by people like you. I don’t think I’m the loser in this situation since I’m not the one sending anonymous hate on tumblr.com, that would be you anon! Have a lovely evening! 😘

Friendly reminder that if you try to insult me on anon I can and will block you : )

Let's Talk About Security Culture: Why Keeping Secrets is Cool and Sexy

It's a natural impulse -- if you love crime -- to want to talk about how great it is. And if you hate America, it's only natural to want to share your dreams for its future with the rest of tumblr dot com. It can feel brave and transgressive. And there is a drive to share your soul with the world at the heart of social media. Surely I should be posting the most concrete implications of my politics, right? This is the poster's curse.

Security Culture refers to a set of "best practices" developed over the past several decades, largely (in a US context) coming out of radical environmental groups as they faced intense state repression, infiltration and entrapment. If you're not familiar, there's some fascinating crimethinc write ups to give you a window into that world:

Much of it boils down to: don't talk about crimes, past or forthcoming with people who don't need to know about them, and be mindful of the possibility of surveillance and infiltration. And, we can support each other as a community in minimizing risks, with an eye towards enabling bold action rather than getting bogged down in fears and anxieties. The guidelines that make sense for AG-based trouble-makers are different from the guidelines that make sense for posters, but plenty of common principles apply. To speak briefly to our position here as posters:

First, it bears saying that long term anonymity is extremely nearly impossible to maintain. Unless you've never accessed Tumblr without a vpn, and avoided connections with other ppl who can be associated with you/your location, and never shared pictures without scrubbing metadata, and a bunch of other 100% consistent steps, it's trivial for the state to know who you are.

Second, just because something isn't actively being prosecuted now doesn't mean it can't be prosecuted later. The priorities of the state change and a shift in power towards the right or a growth in radical action from the left can suddenly make it a priority to destroy anarchist networks or just find a few ppl to prosecute as examples (who probably weren't that plugged into larger networks before getting arrested. Advocating for specific anti-government crimes or declarations of intent to commit such crimes are likely prosecutable even if charges don't stick they're an easy vector for legal harassment.

Third, it's worth thinking about heat as separate from prosecutability. There are modes of engagement that may not be directly criminalized but signal that you are someone worth watching. Some people choose to be public in ways that make heat unavoidable. But it's worth noting that heat isn't strictly individualized, that it persists over time but also is going to shrink over time.

It's easy on here, ime, to see yourself as a proud member of the crime fandom but not much of a content creator. And it's easy to feel like you've generated an amount of heat where you're locked into that role. But heat you generated 10 years ago is probably pretty well gone. Heat you generated 5 years ago has faded substantially. It's worth thinking about how the world might shift in the coming years and what doors you want to keep open.

The non-individualized nature of heat also means that leaning into the spiciest of anti-state positions will make it a bad idea for people who are acting out those positions end up tied to you. Loudly talking about how "more people should be doing [X/Y/Z]" unfortunately sets you up to remain distant from people who might be doing or thinking about doing such things.

Which brings me back to: keeping secrets is sexy. Not spelling everything out builds intrigue. You can lay out a theoretical position and leave working out the practical implications of that as an exercise for the reader. There's value in opacity. The poster's curse and the drive to confess are extremely convenient for the state, but we can resist them. We can hold dreams in our hearts that we refuse to offer up to the posting spectacle.

important psa; if you think you recognize someone from your real life by their selfie on tumblr dot com, don't send them an anonymous message telling them you know them and have seen them around. it's fucking creepy and startling and even if you didn't mean it that way, it comes across as extremely invasive and scary. don't do that. and don't be surprised if you get blocked.

[gor3sigil]

i saw ur post abt not viewing ur younger self as trans and i wanted to tell u i relate, and i think others definitely do too. i saw a cis man one time talking abt how he personally considers boy and man different genders, he transitioned from boy to man, and he felt a distinct change in how he felt gender-wise during that period, and it really helped me personally conceptulize this feeling as a trans man. my mom transitioned from a girl into a woman, but i transitioned from a girl into a man. i dont view little me as a boy, i think maybe i would have enjoyed being a boy but i cant ever rlly know that. i liked being a girl, and i think at that age i was a girl. so ur experience is valid, and understood by at least one random anonymous person on tumblr dot com lol

Thank you so much for your input ! And wow the transitioning from boy to man is really interesting. It's true that it kinda is different states of being, individually and socially.

just got an ask from an account that showed up as @/suppor24332 in my activity notes (an empty blog that exists) but appeared as “from anonymous” in my inbox. this is the ask

who the fuck is out there phishing on tumblr dot com...

[vrains-rewrite]

Hello! this blog is for a group of people wanting to rewrite yugioh vrains in a new context, honouring canon where it works, but including parts of the story that were cut for time (for example i am staring at season 3 directly into the eyes and promising I will flesh out the characters within it the way they deserve).

We'll also be patching up plot holes that have been mildly annoying us for years now, and making changes here and there to duels and to world-building, and you (the people of tumblr dot com) can influence this.

Writing isn't actually going to begin until a month or two from now, but until then, this blog is going to be a place for us to gather information on the changes people want to see Asks (including anonymous) are fully open. You'll soon get introductions from each of the creators (there's currently 3 of us working on this) and posts discussing changes that could be made (though we cant spoil the whole thing of course lol

Expect more from us

- Teal

Cross-posting from my mention of this on Pillowfort.

Yesterday, Draft2Digital (which now includes Smashwords) sent out an email with a, frankly, very insulting survey. It would be such a shame if a link to that survey without the link trackers were to circulate around Tumblr dot Com.

The survey has eight multiple choice questions and (more importantly) two long-form text response boxes.

The survey is being run from August 27th, 2024 to September 3rd, 2024. If you use Draft2Digital or Smashwords, and have not already seen this in your associated email, you may want to read through it and send them your thoughts.

Plain text for the image below the cut:

D2D AI Rights Licensing Survey:

This survey is going to all authors and publishers of Draft2Digital and Smashwords. We seek feedback from our community regarding potential rights licensing opportunities.

This survey is anonymous and should take only about five minutes to complete. Survey responses will be accepted until Tuesday, September 3, 2024.

Introduction:

In recent months, a growing number of AI developers have begun approaching large publishers, seeking to license books for the purpose of training Large Language Models (LLMs).

Books – both fiction and non-fiction – are highly prized for LLM training due to their long form narrative structures which teach Natural Language Processing.

Common uses for these LLMs include powering personal productivity applications such as customer service chatbots, virtual assistants, and the drafting of written communications for marketing, customer service, and internal communications.

What are your AI training rights worth? There’s no hard and fast rule to answer this question because each licensing deal is different.

Some early compensation models for news publishers suggest the equivalent of about $100 per license for LLM training rights for a 75,000-word novel, which works out to a little over 1/10th of a cent per word.

Some experts believe training rights for long-form book content justifies higher compensation for training rights than news content.

mini-announcement, i probably won't be posting/interacting over the weekend because i have a big tournament and i'll be spending time with my team !! just a heads up in case you're wondering why i haven't replied to you or your ask yet :,) sorry about that 🤍

cw: discourse under the cut.

i didn't want to have to make this post, but lately i've been receiving a lot of anonymous asks about a certain blog and unfortunately, it's gotten to a point where i feel like i have to address it. don't take this post as being hateful in any way—this is just something i just wanted to get off my chest. this isn't a big deal, so no reblogs either, thanks.

the bottom four asks all came within a span of five minutes, so i think it's a reasonable assumption to make that they were all sent by the same person. as for who that is, i'll get into that at the end of the post.

but first of all, i can say without a doubt that i have a personality of my own. case closed. nobody's actually said how we're similar in any way, so i'll assume these are all from no-lifes who couldn't find anything better to hate on.

second of all, my netflix banner was actually inspired by another blog, who i won't namedrop for the sake of their peace. and either way, our banners don't even look similar, nor do either of us own netflix. x x

and finally, those are actually the two most braindead asks i've ever received. are we copyrighting letters now? does anyone own the letter e?

don't compare blogs/writers—it's never ended well, and it never will.

even after getting these asks, i still didn't say anything about it because.. i don't really care. everyone's entitled to their own opinion, and what you think of me is up to you.

moving on, i think tee left tumblr sometime in between that time and now, and i was told by a mutual that i was mentioned within the post. if i'm being completely honest, i didn't read all of it because we have each other blocked anyways and it was a lot to read through.. so i skimmed over the bit about me, but didn't really see anything of interest, which is why i didn't address it.

i also had anons on at the time, and i did think it was interesting how i didn't receive a single ask about tee from then up until today, about a month later. up until a couple hours ago, i hadn't even thought about her because, again, i don't care. this is tumblr dot com, not my love life. most of the drama here is over pixels anyways, so i don't waste my day thinking about it.

neither of these are particularly interesting, but the fact that you weirdos are still associating me with someone who i'm not even mutuals with is.. not to my liking.

idk what false accounts the second anon's talking about, because i don't go looking for drama. if you need proof, here's how many sideblogs i have... (click the image)

zero!

as for the idea that i'm jealous of tee, i'm perfectly fine with the amount of followers i have now. i've always been open about my satisfaction with my interaction rates, and that hasn't changed.

and obviously, tee's a good writer—when have i ever said otherwise? if it was based solely off of writing, i would say that she deserves every single one of her followers, maybe even more. i don't think anybody on this app would disagree with me when i say that she's genuinely one of the best fanfic writers i've come across.

however, i won't support someone just because i like their content. i've stopped listening to many artists because i didn't like who they were as a person, and similarly, once i read the reblogs on a certain callout post, i stopped consuming tee's content as well.

there's a reason i avoided making this post in the past—because i don't really have anything to say. tee and i have never had a directly negative interaction, as i'm sure you all can see in her archival post. the reason i don't support her anymore is because i didn't particularly like how she never spoke up about her followers sending death threats to other followers. that's it.

while i have my guesses as to who sent those anons, i don't care enough to find out. and i think it's better that way. this conflict's been dragged on for long enough, and this is my way of saying that i'd like to be excluded from this narrative from now on.

tee, if someone sends you this post at some point, feel free to contact me if you'd like to clear anything up. we're both adults, and i think we can agree that nothing monumental has happened between us to cause any of this. honestly, the only people dragging this on are the weirdo anons in my inbox.

to whoever's reading this post, thank you for listening to my side of the story—it was nice to be able to get this off my chest. wish me luck at my tournament, and i'll be back after the weekend !! 🤍

Anonymous asked:

Awkward as fuck being from one of those "toxic masculinity" movies that's clearly a hotdog magician as shit. Hate seeing cishet men get attached to it and completely misinterpret it and disregard the very very clear homoerotic tension. Of course I like guys, I dress like a slut and tackle other men while we're both shirtless for a reason. What else do you expect?? "Oh but he fucked a woman he can't be a [word]" Take a look at that screen again. Do I not look like a [word] to you?? Clearly I need to try harder then

Tyler you are on the Home of Homophobia website dot com, you can't reclaim or use slurs at all. Tumblr hates f slurs and d slurs and t slurs and well you know. They'll fucking permaban you for Hate Speech in their TOS. Specifically they'll permaban me, this blog. Please don't use slurs [aka Hate Speech outlined in tumblr's TOS] in confessions.
