New Things to Beware on the Internet
On May 3rd, Google released 8 new top-level domains (TLDs) -- these are new values like .com, .org, .biz, domain names. These new TLDs were made available for public registration via any domain registrar on May 10th.
Usually, this should be a cool info, move on with your life and largely ignore it moment.
Except a couple of these new domain names are common file type extensions: ".zip" and ".mov".

This means typing out a file name could resolve into a link that takes you to one of these new URLs, whether it's in an email, on your tumblr blog post, a tweet, or in file explorer on your desktop.
What was previously plain text could now resolve as link and go to a malicious website where people are expecting to go to a file and therefore download malware without realizing it.
Folk monitoring these new domain registrations are already seeing some clearly malicious actors registering and setting this up. Some are squatting the domain names trying to point out what a bad idea this was. Some already trying to steal your login in credentials and personal info.

This is what we're seeing only 12 days into the domains being available. Only 5 days being publicly available.
What can you do? For now, be very careful where you type in .zip or .mov, watch what website URLs you're on, don't enable automatic downloads, be very careful when visiting any site on these new domains, and do not type in file names without spaces or other interrupters.
I'm seeing security officers for companies talking about wholesale blocking .zip and .mov domains from within the company's internet, and that's probably wise.
Be cautious out there.

so one31 and their mae yua production knowingly committed animal abuse (and made jokes about it, actors and staff alike) with the excuse that it was done under the vigilance of "experts"
watchdog thailand (animal rights group) has been informed and also calls in to question the "experts" involved

Just learned that there's such thing as a headmate market, where people sell fake alters. For real money. Man, what world do we live in, this is basically human trafficking for fake DID systems 💀💀💀💀

enjoying regular celeb shit on Tumblr and IG and then going to the all informative balanced platform that is Tik Tok and seeing that so many of them are genocide supporters / so much of our media consumption is tied back to the oppression of others

It makes me sick to my stomach that my vaguely political blog with more followers feels safer then my main with less; simply because a couple people decided a few years ago their fun new hobby would be stalking a then fresh 18 year old

me when my parents are deciding to turn off my Wi-Fi every day until I do everything on my schedule and they come home knowing full well they get off at like 5pm and I’m done with my list by 11am-12pm. I love it here.

I hoped that maybe they didn't have much of a choice but how many more times are you going to declare your love for a band full of abusers on your insta stories 🤢 didn't have to do all that

hey! first of all, you don’t know me at all, you don’t know what i believe or what i support. i could tell you i don’t support israel, and i don’t, but i shouldn’t have to, because you shouldnt feel the need to step on the toes of random strangers you find on tumblr to begin with. i dont need to justify myself to you or anyone else, especially when the crime in question is having empathy 😭 i am not “both sidesing” anything, i am protesting injustice. that does not mean i am blind to the injustices committed by israel.
“don’t support” is crazyyyy, i’m not a organization to boycott, i’m not even a celebrity, i’m a teenage girl on tumblr with less than 100 followers. like i’m kind of bewildered here by the audacity of this. the only thing i can think of that could even give you the idea i’m “both-sidesing” would be a post i reblogged saying it is important to have empathy for palestinians as well as affected israeli civilians. is it so insane to say you should feel bad for grieving families? are you so detached from your humanity that suffering only hurts you when its the “wrong people”? i dont understand the alternative youre offering here, did you want me to say “i hope all the remaining hostages are dead and their families suffer 😝” ?????? bc that doesnt sound very pro-palestine of you

hi jumblr! i made these little jewish lgbt pride frames to put around images and videos for funsies
edit: guys!! the backgrounds are transparent because these were made to go over images, for icons and edits and stuff :) the aromantic and asexual ones should be readable over a lighter background!
another edit: sorry about the misspelling of שלום on a few of these, idk what got into me bc id usually remember when to put final letters but 😭 check the reblogs for a fixed ver :)

the absolute nightmare I experienced the other day when I joined a discord server I'd seen on TT (my first mistake, don't worry, it gets worse) only to find it was
an all ages server
had unrestricted nsfw channels
was run by a fifteen year old
had members at least as young as THIRTEEN and there were in fact people OVER EIGHTEEN
I did not stay long enough to gather whether or not the adults and the teens were talking in the nsfw channels together, because I really didn't want to know
I've never hit leave server so fucking fast

I do actually think it would be hilarious if Cavill came back as Geralt and was like, “oh no jk, I actually love the direction of this show”

The thing about 12-step programs is that the basic model involves getting a bunch of vulnerable, impulsive nutsos together in a plausibly cult-y atmosphere where they're likely to have already burned a lot of social bridges. That it doesn't turn out to be a hotbed of abuse would be the more farfetched assumption.
