My blog is for the girls with an unreasonable amount of hate and dark parts inside them that they could never explain to anyone else.

My blog is for the girls who's default is being hateful and rude to the people they love most, even when they don't want to.

My blog is for the girls who are deeply infatuated with their best friend in a way they could never rationalize to themselves or 'put lyrics to'.

My blog is for the girls who secretly have a heart of gold if your willing to stay long enough to find it.

My blog is for the girls who have terrifying and traumatizing dreams almost every night, so much so that their often terrified to go to sleep in fear of dreaming.

My blog is for the girls who curse too much and say whatever the fuck their thinking.

My blog is for the girls with deep rooted spiritual culture and traditions and are slightly traumatized about it.

My blog is for the girlies who are terrified of being vulnerable or emotional in fear of seeming weak.

Current time: 1:51 pm

Current activity: taking an extended lunch at work bc literally everyone is out on vacation except me. i'm not mad abt it, i like the quiet

Currently thinking about: my travel plans in the next coming months but also jeff satur's unchained dum dum video rotating on a spit constantly in the back of my mind

Current favorite song: it's a tie between psychedelic switch by carly rae and damage gets done by hozier and brandi carlisle. but also i need only you by love beans bc i'm constantly listening to my bl playlists on my commute.

Currently reading: Sex Museums by Jennifer Tyburczy and, i can't believe i'm actually saying this, but i'm almost done with a court of mist and fury and i'm surprising myself by liking it (this was a difficult realization to come to). Also this article is open in my browser currently called 'The Erotic Nostalgia of Lesbian Pulp Fiction'

Currently watching: like so much. just so much. the ones i'm most excited for are wwdits, laws of attraction, only friends, and my personal weatherman. and waiting for ofmd s2!!!

Current favorite character: charn from laws of attraction. i'm just really treasuring having filmjam back on my screen tbh.

Current WIP: ...grad school applications, tbh, even though i am actively rolling my eyes at myself for doing this. *cue jack from LOST screaming WE HAVE TO GO BACK!!*

not going to tag anybody but feel free to take if you are bored and want to brain dump a bit, like me!

booked plane tickets to Seattle and my first thought was Hello Seattle by Owl City, who I was obsessed with for a very short period of time around 2008, and it’s just. Amazing what things stick around in that noggin

Hi if it's no trouble, can you send the Cass holding a piece of paper template? I'll give you credit if you'd like

[ID: two photos of Cassandra Cain as Batgirl against a solid black background. She’s standing with her hip slightly cocked to the side and her cape is partially lifted as she holds up a piece of a paper. The first photo is the original cover for the comic's issue and has the words, "Please help me not to die," written on it in a red font that looks like dripping blood. The second photo has been edited so the paper is blank instead. END ID]

no credit necessary ! the original edit is super slapped together so i included the original cover without the barcode in case you want to edit it yourself. enjoy! 🥰🥰

I hope twitter disappears one day, or at least becomes less of a current affairs source and just a normal forum again, so people can look back at statements like "the prime minister has tweeted out" while discussing historical events of the new '10s-'20s and go "that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard"

There was that scene in Kim's Convenience where the daughter is in her photography class and her lecturer is looking up her website, realises the first page isn't hers, the second is also not hers, she has to go to page 2 of google and at that point just throws down her hands and says at that point, as a potential customer, she already loses interest and gives up cause it's not worth the effort

and lately I just feel like the whole fucking internet feels like that

I want to look up how to use cricut stuff and what that even really is, what can I do with what but when I put their name in i get taken to the fucking shop with no explanations far and wide, then next link is also the shop, next link is ALSO the shop but different, and by the time I finally find a page that has any kind of explanation, i'm so annoyed that the hoops is makes me jump through THEN—e.g. selecting which topic I want to learn more about—I'm no longer interested in doing this shit

the other day I wanted to look up what Nokia is up to in terms of phones these days but they no longer have 1 coherent website. In general, many places seem to not want any coherence in their websites, or sub-menus that you can easily navigate

Like, I come from myspace. I know how to navigate the internet. I played WoW in days of dial-up internet. And yet, everything is so goddamn convoluted and incoherent, there is NO structure or logic to anything and on top of that, google, and with it most other search engines, are fucking fried! A few years ago, if a website was really badly designed, you could just navigate back, google the website + search term you needed and get there somehow, but now that is also useless more often than not!

At this point I am genuinely over the internet. We had a good 15 years with it, let's pack it up.

making my own post because nobody needs my bullshit on their post:

OP:

Reblog 1:

Reblog 2:

My response:

The IRA blogs were here and they were active and they were quite popular; their posting patterns did not match normal tumblr users (i was followed by lagonegirl and followed back only to be put off by the account reblogging the same five or ten posts every hour for a day before selecting another five or ten posts to reblog hourly the next day - it was clear engagement bait).

Tumblr has never been as transparent about these accounts as both Twitter and Facebook were, but several of the accounts had shared names across platforms and you can find a significant amount of data that was released by both facebook (ex: ads purchased by the IRA accounts) and twitter (over three million tweets from IRA accounts). Academic researchers have published papers on the data released from facebook and twitter. Several papers. So many papers. Soooooo many papers. We have a LOT of direct evidence that you can explore for yourself that there were hundreds (possibly thousands) of IRA accounts that were created on Facebook and Twitter. Of those accounts, some shared usernames across platforms, and of those accounts, a few had tumblr accounts that posted the same content on twitter and tumblr.

To quote a buzzfeed news article from the time:

The Russian-run Tumblr accounts used the same, or very similar, usernames as the account names contained on a list of confirmed IRA accounts Twitter submitted to congressional investigators. In some cases, the Tumblr and Twitter account has the same profile image or linked to each other in their bios. Some IRA Tumblrs and Twitter accounts also cross-promoted content between platforms, further linking them together.

Current tumblr user @ alwaysbewoke (who I don't want to tag because I'm sure he's got better things to do) is interviewed in that article and talks about following one of the blogs identified by tumblr as an IRA blog that had a matching account on twitter identified as an IRA account but unfollowing when the left-leaning blog supposedly run by a black creator started rooting for trump in the election.

Dr. Jonathan Albright is heavily quoted in the article; the data review he collaborated on is one of the only reviews of this subject that includes data from Tumblr and Reddit.

One of the claims that I've seen is that tumblr just deleted funny black people, but these were blogs with thousands of followers on tumblr who never recreated, never popped up on another social media site, never started a reddit account after getting banned; nobody ever showed up saying "hey this is 4mysquad, I got banned on tumblr and twitter, follow me to pillowfort". These very popular blogs got deleted and, as far as I know, nobody ever popped up claiming to be a person who was deleted - and it's not like tumblr users haven't figured out how to evade bans.

What you are doing when you make posts saying that the IRA accounts on tumblr never existed is *absolving tumblr of guilt for their utter lack of transparency.*

Tumblr is not the only tech company that has tried to fly under the radar as its larger counterparts face regular scrutiny in Congress and in the press. Earlier this month, Reddit revealed it too had deleted hundreds of accounts with ties to the Internet Research Agency. A WIRED investigation found more than a thousand links to Russian propaganda websites are still live on Reddit, and unearthed two suspicious accounts that Reddit immediately shut down.

So should you believe what Tumblr says? No, because Tumblr has been functionally fucking silent on this issue and the information about this subject aside from the list of blogs has come from the hard work of data scientists, journalists, and researchers.

(For the record; some of those bot accounts that were recorded by Dr. Albright also had Google+ accounts in 2017 - there is every possibility that they had myspace accounts).

Now, the reason that I'm popping onto this post as an annoyed anarchist is that I was tracking a similar group of blogs for a while and was discussing them and I stopped precisely because of the galaxy-brained liberals who are now trying to dunk on communists for criticizing electoralism. One of the people who was following my project was one of the ones who started calling out the "joe biden kills dogs" posts as disinfo and I realized they were using some of the guidelines I'd written up to "identify" misinformation and that is very a rock fucking stupid approach to what was clearly a leftist making jokes and was horrified and realized there was no way that I could continue documenting what I was documenting without someone attempting to call actual leftists russian bots.

I've seen the post that OP is referencing [it's one where someone makes a very obvious joke about the democrat presidential ticket and people jump on to call them a bot and then someone tries to do the "AI tell me a story" thing and OP is just like "I don't want to :(", proving that they are in fact a person and not an AI] and have deeply enjoyed the humor of watching liberals a) not understand a very, VERY obvious joke and b) become the unwitting butt of a joke they were trying to make, but also I am so exhausted by watching normie dems call leftists AI bots after years of watching normie dems call real live actual leftists who hold actual political views that real people actually have, like prison abolition, russian bots.

But I am also so fucking tired of left conspiracism and how stupid it sounds when leftists dismiss a preponderance of evidence that is easily accessible and publicly available for analysis as "lol so you just trust everything tumblr tells you?"

No, dipshit, learn to click a fucking link or twelve.
