So.... why'd Peri get assigned Dev as his first godchild?

Jorgen’s usually not the one in charge of assigning godchildren. There’s an entire department that weighs and classifies potentail Godkids to the right Fairy. Although it’s on strike at the moment.

So Jorgen has to do it by hand, until the union negotiations are resolved. Turns out trying to use paperclips is very hard. Itty bitty paperclips. Big muscular biceps. Not a good combo.

Wouldn't it be great if Tumblr had a feature like "3 years ago today" or something? Like, imagine waking up one morning, opening the app and there's a huge banner saying "Let's see what you were up to 5 years ago today!" and you click on it and it's the most unhinged, thirsty, shameful post about the same middle aged actor you are still obsessed with.

A Message from Sleep Token ☼ The Heavy Music Awards 2021 — the message | background footage | font | sleep token logo | all messages

[svtskneecaps]

honestly wish the qsmp made more use of the novelty that is Mail. like "man i really need to get a message to cellbit but i don't know when we'll be on at the same time :(" leave one of those supplementaries presents that only opens for the matching username that has a book in it signed by you detailing everything you needed to tell him, or if you need to send off a bunch of things leave a security chest buried under or behind something and send a coded message with its location. cmon. Mail. Postal Service. Quesadilla Postal Service Mail, the QPSM if you will. (if your language can make it QSMP plEASE jump on)

missed opportunity. send more letters that aren't badboyhalo's debt collection.

I keep seeing posts about how tumblr staff is deleting Palestinian blogs, and while there is definitely reason to believe some of that could be intentional, my only interactions with those blogs have been receiving copy-paste asks formatted exactly like every scam email I've ever received.

If Palestinians are indiscriminately messaging blogs on here (a website that already has a huge bot problem!) with stuff that 100% looks like spam, that means they are probably getting reported by people who think they're scam bots multiple times a day and staff is seeing "this user's asks have been flagged as spam 50+ times" and nerfing them without a second thought.

I absolutely think these people deserve help, but someone needs to come up with a better format than "‼️DONT SCROLL AWAY. $5000 NEEDED‼️" because my internet denizen brain sees that and activates a report-and-block reflex so honed it takes genuine effort to take a step back and not do that.

If anyone reading this is a Palestinian looking for aid (or friends with someone who is), I would recommend workshopping more genuine-sounding messages that the average user won't block on sight because I guarantee it's hindering whatever support you could be getting and could get your account banned.

disturbing

I was writing a post and at the end I was adding tags, as I do, and I typed the singular first person pronoun, I, and a list of tags popped up as suggestions that took me the fuck out. It was so disturbing I took a screenshot.

[image ID: a list of suggested tags, screenshotted. It's titled "popular" and the list is "I want to [star emoji]ve" "i wanna lose weight" "i sell content" "i love him"]

I wanna star-emoji-ve???? Well there's some pro-ana shit for you.

I don't know if the kids these days remember this but back in Livejournal around the era of strikethrough (the '07-'09 time period is where I remember noticing it) there was a movement to censor pro-self-harm blogs, that were support groups mostly supporting one another in more and more extreme anorexic/self-destructive/eating-disordered behaviors.

This is absolutely that. And they were like "it's self-expression" and everyone else in the world was like "it is actually a toxic encouragement of self-harm" because they were like, concretely instructing one another and recruiting vulnerable people to join them in ways to literally starve to death, they were support groups for killing yourself more or less, and so those tags would occasionally get banned or delisted or removed from search or whatever, but remember this was very early in the history of such things, and there was no algorithm. But people did use the browsing of blogs' "interests" to find one another, it was a feature of how Livejournal worked, and there wasn't a lot of moderation but the deactivation or delisting of those self-harm-encouraging tags were a hotly-contested bit of debate.

And so they got more creative, and found other ways to find one another, and people starved to death or otherwise irreparably damaged their bodies and their mental health and so on. I cannot emphasize enough, this was not fiction. These were not fictional stories depicting fictional scenarios that weren't happening, these were real people posting stories and encouragement and photographs of their real selves, showing off how much damage to themselves they were doing, concretely encouraging one another to do the same. This was not fiction.

But they kept finding new ways to talk about it so it couldn't be censored.

And then LJ deleted blogs for posting about fiction instead, and we all kind of forgot about it and moved on.

Highly displeased to find that it's all alive and well on Tumblr, to the point that it's the number one suggestion when I type the fucking first-person pronoun into the tag field, and I can't opt out of seeing that. COOL.

stop arguing the existence of forklifts in the atla comics under my post you guys. there was an honest to god truck in Day Of Black Sun

OK! 54 pages into Eagle Strike, and I'm really enjoying Yassen Gregorovich's character. A guy just doing what he's paid to do, nothing personal. Very much so looking forward how his 'Kid wtf are you doing in this business. Go home and be safe' attitude evolves from here.

I set up a Zoom call with Perna. He was in sweats at his home in Alabama, and if he missed carrying the weight of the world he did a great job hiding it. He consults a little for Palantir now, but mostly he was excited to talk about grandkids, the Yankees and the best New York City slice joints. His mood shifted when I asked what government could improve if it embraced AI. “Everything,” he snapped, before the question was fully out. “I don’t understand how we’re not using it for organ donation right now. We should be ashamed. Why do we need 80,000 new people at the IRS? We could revolutionize the budget process. I tell Palantir, why are you playing around with the Department of Defense? Think bigger.” [...]

There are more questions — part of getting AI into government is realizing there will be no getting it out. It turns out that good software and good government are more similar than we knew: Neither is ever done.

ah! so these are the manmade horrors beyond my comprehension i was promised!

WTFFF I thought thirteen would be my new girl crush love of my life heart eyes wife you-came-after-twelve-you-must-be-better-than-they're-all-saying bbygirl and then I had to sit down and watch as she told a man who (if he were not a murderer, of course) literally every regeneration before her would've LOVED and FULLY SUPPORTED that "the systems aren't the problem. how people use and exploit the system, that's the problem. people like you" </33333 !?!?
