#in fact. i deleted that blog and used the email i used to use for it to make this account <3< /div> Explore tagged Tumblr posts

[briar--rising]

It's very interesting trying to find blogs to follow for cherry alive bc like. Things we like: pink, ribbons, flowers, pretty clothes, baked goods, cute things, fairies, feminine stuff, cottagecore aesthetics, etc etc etc

Things we DO NOT like: misogyny, thinspo, 'i'm just a girly girl who needs a boyfriend to take care of me' (and related), traumacore, lana del rey inspired stuff (her music's fine, the way it's been turned into an aesthetic online bothers me), nymphette stuff (Yikes TM), tradwife stuff (extra Yikes TM), etc etc etc

Like a lot of pink themed blogs have content we find viscerally upsetting and completely antithetical to what I'm trying to make this space into. On my former account I saw a lot of posts criticizing the whole "girlblogging girl dinner" thing but I didn't see a lot of the original content they were responding to. Now I've seen it and I do not like it! I like femininity and fairies and flowers and sunshine. One of my deepest desires in a relationship context is actually a dynamic that includes a certain amount of being taken care of. But like. In a chivalrous butch/femme way not a weird 'girls are incompetent' way. I like so many things that are aesthetically adjacent to a lot of stuff I hate, but at the same time completely opposite from it. Because for me it's about healing and embracing joy and whimsy and magic and sunshine and hope and art, and, to a certain extent, how that stuff interacts for me with gender and femininity and finding joy in my femininity again. It's not about this bizarre 'i'm just a weak little girl' and/or 'i'm a violent girl who's cutesy and cruel' or whatever all that nonsense is. It makes me so sad to see honestly. Like. Idk what you're doing, I'm having fun. You should maybe try it too.

covidsafehotties , a blog dedicated to covid pandemic resources run by a trans* woman, was deleted for "harassment" after mentioning that her abusive, tme roommate had drawn a knife on her. she simply mentioned that this roommate was tme (which does not mean inherently mean transmasculine; iirc this roommate was cisgender), received threatening and harassing anonymous asks for simply stating that she was a victim of transmisogyny, and SHE was the one banned.

edit: here is a [link] to the covidsafehotties discord server; and here is a [link] to a follow-up post i made about certain recurring comments/questions!

edit 2: here is a [link] the new tumblr blog, covid-safer-hotties! in case this one also goes down; to find a better archive of information, make sure to check out nadica's proboard dedicated to covid safety, which can be found at this [link] !

while nadica (blog owner) has privately stated that she is attempting to go through the appeals process, tumblr's email from @staff has made it clear that she as a transgender woman is not welcomed on this site.

just as they have numerous trans* women in the past week.

in fact, she received the exact same email as them, stating that "automatic means were not used to make this decision or identify the content at issue", meaning that real. human members of staff saw a trans* woman being harassed, talking about her experiences as a trans* woman, and banned her for daring to say so.

they even went as far as to state that she "[should not] engage in the unwanted sexualization or sexual harassment of others".

how in the FUCK is her sharing these experiences sexual? how in the FUCK is her being harassed by transmasculine folks on this site sexual??

just a reminder: here are details surrounding tumblr’s NYCCHR Settlement, which is publicly accessible information

Summary of NYC Gov. Settlements [ LINK ]

NYCCHR Settlement Documentation [ LINK ]

in case y'all really want to raise a stink over the "queerest site on the internet" raising their transmisogynistic paws (again). and from nadica herself:

" Can we all appreciate that even beyond the transmisogyny of the likely scenario, that this person disliked a single acronym [re: tme] I used so much that they got the most [active] and interacted-with covid blog on the site banned. i can't imagine being so cruel and thoughtless about any resource "

as a tme person, i stand with every fucking trans woman and transfem that tumblr has banned from this site for existing within the content guidelines. i stand with every fucking trans woman and transfem who has been harassed, stalked, and booted from this site because the moderation staff refuses to do SHIT about it.

and i stand with every other group who faces the same treatment. the dozens of black bloggers. the dozens of indigenous bloggers. the dozens of palestinian bloggers.

tumblr is not the queerest corner of the internet. it is not a safe space. and if i get banned for saying that, then fuck it and fuck every one of y'all who let it happen.

Angry about Lore.fm the "AO3 Audible app"

For those who don't know, Lore.fm is an app that's advertised as "audible for AO3". It uses AI text-to-speech voices to read fics on an app completely separated from AO3 and creates a local copy of the fic audio on your device. It is stated to be non-profit.

1. It's opt-out not opt-in, that alone is a red flag and worthy of suspicion. The only way to not get your fic used without permission is to email them - it is unsafe and dubious to hand out personal email addresses to companies you don't know.

2. It takes engagement and agency away from the authors. Readers using this app don't even need to interact with the original AO3 post. Only a link is needed to generate the audio. An extension would've been significantly more ethical than an app.

3. Valid criticisms towards this project are labelled by the developer as "ableist and classist". Most devices and browsers already have FREE screen readers available. Especially for IOS (since this is mainly advertised for IOS), the existing built-in accessibility screen reader is very decent! I'd know cause I've been using it for more than a decade!

4. The developers show zero transparency. The devs listed for this app are also in a company that made an AI WRITING/STORYTELLING APP called Spinoff. The fact that this information is hidden on the appstore for Lore.fm tells me all that I need to know. I found the source for this on this comment by CupcakeBeautiful. [Edit: Unfortunately, the comment has been deleted by reddit for some reason, so I have removed the link to it.]

This whole thing pisses me off. Once again it shows that people don't respect and don't care about actual fic writers. I wish people would stop exploiting fanfiction authors under the guise of accessibility. Please think carefully if this is a company/project you'd want to support.

I don't usually post things like this on this blog, but I don't think a lot of people are aware of this situation on tumblr. Please feel free to add any information that I've missed. If this post comes off as aggressive, I apologise. I am just very frustrated.

Santae banned me without telling me why and won't unban me unless I send them my photo ID

Hey guys sorry for not posting in… forever? I just suck at social media lol. But you may have seen that I've reblogged some posts that advertise Santae in the past, but please disregard all that. I've since deleted those posts after learning how the site is managed and, after what happened to me a few days ago, I feel as though I should go public about this. Because boy did I just get fucked over.

Anyway, yeah, what it says in the title. On October 24th, around 10am EST, I was restocking my user shop when the entire webpage went white. I couldn't access the site at all and, when I tried to look for the Discord on my server list, it wasn't there. I knew what this had meant. I got banned from both the game, and the Discord - this is important to keep in mind for later.

I didn't receive any Discord DM or email notification about my ban, so after asking a mod what their support email was (and yes, I later verified that this is indeed their legitimate support email), I sent them this:

After a few hours, I get this back in response:

There's so much I'm confused about here. I think the one that screams out the most is that they're asking me to show them my photo ID so I can get unbanned. Absolutely not. I refuse to do this. This poses a massive security and privacy risk. They straight up banned my account, gave this half-baked explanation, and told me I need to send my personal information or... I stay banned?

Let me make something clear: The only personal thing they have on file about this account is the email address that I created my account with, which I've also used to contact them. My real name, date of birth, anything of that nature would not be connected because this was not asked for during account creation, therefore this wouldn't actually prove I'm the account holder. Theoretically speaking, I could show them any ID in the world and for all they know, that's my real information, because they have nothing else to go off of. They even say as much in their privacy page.

Secondly, "account has been compromised"? What does that mean? I think anyone's interpretation of this would be that my account got hacked. But if my account got hacked, why wasn't I informed of this? I had to reach out to support, they did not reach out to me first. That means my password, which I may share across other sites, would have been known to someone else and thus I should've been warned of this immediately, not roughly 5 hours after the fact.

Thirdly, what, was my Discord "compromised" too? If an automated system had flagged my account, does that system somehow interact with a Discord bot so they ban a user on both at the same time? How does that work? That makes no sense as to why they'd ban me on both the game and the Discord for something like this, which is why I'm calling bullshit.

Let me tell you what I think happened.

Recently, Santae has been in some really hot water with connections revealing their relation to an older petsite, Lurapets, which has a history of scamming and artist mistreatment, as well as proof coming out of them using AI art for their NPC art. You can find these posts on the @santae-salt blog if you want to see for yourself, but I'm also linking them throughout this post.

Once the post about them being directly related to Lurapets was released, several users that the Santae staff thought might be involved in the creation of the post got banned. As it turns out, I was banned at the same time as these users.

After speaking with the @santae-salt admin, we are both of the belief that I, a regular user, got caught up in this mess because they're assuming I'm an alt account of someone else and staff demanded to see my ID because they didn't think I was a different person. It may turn out to be wrong, and yeah that sounds a bit far-fetched, sure, but really, what else can I go off of here?? Santae staff has given me a very questionable and refutable explanation as to why I've been banned, and their radio silence after I refused to send them my ID is just making me believe they don't think I'm real. They don't want my photo ID to verify I'm the account holder, they want my photo ID to verify I'm not someone else.

This is unprecedented. I've never seen any petsite ask for a photo ID in any situation, and after asking around, not even those banned from Santae were asked for this. It's just me! This is an incredible attempted breach of privacy, and, with Santae now under doxxing allegations, I really don't feel confident they'd keep my personal information… well, personal.

I messaged back almost immediately after they responded to me where I told them I would not send my ID and I had asked if there were any other way I could verify myself to get my account unbanned. I've received no response so far, and after what I've learned, I feel like I'm not going to get one at all.

So, let this be a lesson to you: don't waste your time on Santae. You can be the most obedient player out there. You can abide by all their rules, be a nice and generous player, or just be minding your own business, but if they so much as think you're associated with someone who they think has wronged them, you'll be banned.

And they can't even be bothered to properly tell you why.

•my only definite dni is if your blog is focused on nsfw, has sexually explicit images, or unsafe for minors in general. we can interact if you are in a basic dni (zoophile, radqueers, etc) but i probably won’t interact with you as much as those who arent in the dni.

mild eyestrain warning ⚠️

how the fuck does this have so many notes??😭

vent-ish/vent-adjacent warning ⚠️

here’s a copypaste from another of my posts regarding my posting schedule and status:

hey folks, i may not be posting as much going forward because my father put my email on a lifelock account, which means that he may be alerted each time i log into my tumblr account. i use tumblr on the website on safari and i frequently log in and out because im anxious that my parents will check my search history, but they very rarely ever do. im testing if they get alerted right now by logging in to ao3 and c.ai, two websites that my parents likely wont be opposed to but would tell me and ask me about it if i got an alert. deleting my account is a last resort, but it is still on the table. this change is indefinite. i have backup plans in case my parents do get alerts from lifelock, but nothing is definite. i may continue on just fine, i might not. just giving y’all a heads up in case something does happen.

tl;dr my account may be discovered by my parents and i may be punished, maybe it wont. we’ll see

and does anyone know for sure if lifelock does send alerts about logging in tumblr accounts? please dont lie to me.

my mental health is hinging largely on my tumblr account and im praying sososo hard that i wont lose all of you wonderful, amazing people. this goes for the folks i have dmed and the ones i havent. but anyway. i love you all. thank you for the time youve given me, even if it wont be for much longer.

and heres another post copypaste:

hey folks i dont know if im gonna be posting for a hot minute because im at band practice rn but im gonna have the biggest fucking argument with my mom when i get home😍 i might get my phone taken away

so basically what happened is i told her im depressed and she blew me off and didnt believe me. she also did some other stuff. i may go into greater detail at a later date.

im sorry if this discomforts or tr_gg_rs anyone but i wanted to give an explanation and warning just in case i stop posting and interacting on tumblr

thank you all for being so wonderful, truly. i hope i can get my situation sorted out quickly and remain active.

i’ll probably update this post later on since im sure there’s something i forgot. check back with me every once in a while and i might have some new content on this post

thanks for reading 👍👍

Those damn profilers….and you had to be the one to be dating one of the best of them. It was impossible to hide from Aaron.

It wasn’t common for you, wanting to hide things from him. He was the one who you trusted more than anyone else in your life. But sometimes, you felt…embarrassed of things.

Like that evening, you wanted to have sex with Aaron, but didn’t want to be the one who initiated it again. You were the one who was all over him the night before and that morning. It felt almost humiliating having to ask for sex again.

But you weren’t at fault. Aaron had just come home from work and he was so tired, he didn’t follow his usual routine of taking his suit off and running into the shower. That was the reason you felt guilty for wanting to disturb his resting time. But that was also the reason you wanted him so bad; his suit, his untied tie, the sweat on his forehead. And maybe also the fact that your little period calendar app had reminded you yesterday that you were ovulating.

Still, no matter how much you were trying to conceal your sudden and very much desperate desire for your boyfriend, he was clearly onto you.

“Why are you staring at me, honey?” he asked, not bothering to lift his head to look at you. His eyes were glued on the screen of his phone, going through his emails.

“Just missed you, that’s all.”

“I missed you too, baby.” His deep voice calling you ‘baby’ only worsened your problem. Maybe you just had to get some alone time and take care of it.

“Um…I’m gonna go take a shower, okay?” you said.

“Now?”

“Yeah. Did you wanna go first?”

He finally lifted his gaze from his phone and looked at you with a smirk. “Are you really that desperate?”

“What?”

Aaron threw his phone on the cushion next to him and spread his legs wider. “On my lap.”

As if you were under a spell, you got up without even thinking it, walked towards the couch, and straddled Aaron’s lap.

You were so turned on that even that light touch of your body meeting his sent sparkles to your clit.

His large hands went straight to your exposed thighs, rubbing them up and down.

“My princess,” he said leaving a small kiss on your lips. “Haven’t I told you that I want you to always ask me for what you need?”

“I don’t…”

“Don’t lie to me. I can tell you’re struggling,” he said with a soft laugh. And with a tone that suggested that you were pathetic he added, “You’re horny, aren’t you?”

“Aaron,” you whined, and hit him playfully on the arm.

“Aren’t you?” he repeated.

You were too embarrassed to reply with words so you just nodded your head.

“See? I can always tell what’s going on in that pretty head of yours,” he said, his hand cupping the side of your face, “so you may as well just ask for what you want. It’ll save us both time.”

“You’re being mean,” you said.

“Am I still going to be mean if I get you off?”

Embarrassed or not, his words made your eyes sparkle.

“That’s what I thought. Now take off your clothes,” he ordered.

As you were getting undressed, Aaron unzipped his pants and took his cock out. When you got to the part of taking off your underwear he started stroking himself slowly, not taking his eyes off you for a moment.

You were almost drooling watching him still all dressed up touching himself, and the ache between your legs was getting unbearable.

“Come back here,” he said, once you were fully nude.

His thumb started touching your clit, circling it in a slow pace that made your knees already tremble. “Aaron…”

“Do you like it?”

“Mhm…” you said biting your lip.

“You can be louder, sweetheart. No one’s home but us,” he said and slipped his middle finger in you.

“Ah…”

Aaron’s fingers were thick, and could make you see stars. But at the moment, nothing but his cock could really satisfy you.

“I want you to fuck me. Please, Aaron, I can’t…”

“Okay,” he said, leaning in slightly to leave an open mouthed kiss to one of your nipples. “Okay. I’ve got you.”

He kissed the spot between your breasts and looked up at you with a smile. “You really need me, don’t you baby?”

“So bad,” you admitted.

With that, he pulled you down by your hips, and you took his hard dick in your hand, guiding it into your hole.

“My God,” you moaned at the feeling of him finally filling you up. “Aaron…”

He threw his head back and swallowed harshly at the feeling of your pussy around him. “Ah baby…”

Aaron’s dick was big just like everything else about him, which was exactly what you needed; feeling him deep inside you, hitting every spot that made your thoughts blurry and left you thinking only his name.

Your movements were desperate, riding him and taking him all in like you needed. His hands were on your ass, not to guide you but more for his enjoyment.

You wrapped your hands around his neck and kissed him deeply, wanting to devour every drop of this man’s body. “You feel so good inside me,” you moaned against his mouth.

“You like it, baby?”

“I love it.”

You pulled away just enough for him to move his hands and cup your tits, massaging them as you rocked your hips against his.

“You always take it so well. If only you could see how desperate you look, baby. Just a dumb girl who’s always thinking about my cock, aren’t you?”

“Yes, Aaron. Yes,” you moaned, and the built up in your lower belly got bigger and bigger.

Aaron started rubbing your clit, faster than he did at the beginning, watching your movements getting more and more clumsy as you were getting closer towards your release.

“I’m gonna cum,” you whined.

“That’s my good girl. Come on, baby. That’s my girl.”

Aaron’s encouraging words, his finger on your clit, and his dick buried in your pussy had you clenching around him and moaning his name. “Fuck.”

“Kneel for me. I wanna cum on your face,” he moaned.

Still feeling numb between your legs, you got on your knees in front of him and watched him as he stroked himself. Soon he painted you with his cum, and you enjoyed the feeling of the warm liquid on your skin. It made you feel his.

[velvetvexations]

I'm being stalked by someone who screams that I can't stop talking about her despite her having it made it clear she wants "no contact" and then screenshots my blog to spread more lies about me in spite of the fact that I have her blocked and block evading is supposed to be one of my grievous sins

like literally the most I have talked about her recently was with a coded name that doesn't even reference her URL in response to her taking a screenshot of my post and calling me pro-American because memes are hilarious but IRL seriously I would have preferred 9/11 not have happened

I am still not using her URL or her fucking name while she goes around saying VELVET VEXATIONS SHOULD DRINK BLEACH BECAUSE SHE SAID DONALD TRUMP DOESN'T BELIEVE TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN NOW EXCUSE ME I SAW MY LEAST FAVORITE COLOR AND NEED TO COMPOSE A MELINCHOLY POEM TO PROCESS THE GRIEF IT'S CAUSED ME

every time a transradfem equates discussing how transphobes feel about us is the same as misgendering other trans people, that's fucking pathetic assuming it's a genuine belief and not just something to performatively break into tears over as intoxicatingly self-righteous justification for thinking only the people they fetishize should be allowed to exist

but apparently! this person has another stalker who sends her posts to other people! and that's really interesting to me, you know, because the only post of her's I've ever received from an anon was one in which she was talking about me! And when that person came off anon to say it was them that sent it, she took a screenshot of that admission but did not include me telling them off for stirring shit

too bad I decided to delete the admission due them using her name and can't prove I gave them that dressing down, clearly I shouldn't have fucking bothered since innocence itself is no protection

she seriously can't stop calling me a TERF while actual no-bullshit TERFs are openly calling on one another to email publishers trying to get me canceled for writing a fanfic where it's briefly mentioned a trans teenager wore her sister's clothes without asking, what the fuck does any transradfem know about TERFs when I'm dealing with actual TERFs and all they are to them is an abstract concept used to bludgeon trans men and non-binary people with

these fucking people do not experience actual fucking problems, they do not have any conception of what an actual problem is, they sit around lying about the traitorous Queen of Tee Em Eees, puppet of the completely fictional AFAB patriarchy, because they do not have real problems and have never had one in their entire lives, like all fucking people who can't go five seconds without reminding you they're a communist because they think it's cool and trendy and makes them sound smart to say things like dialetic materialist epistemology transubstantiating within the imperial core of the glocal northsouth without actually engaging in any of the actual ideals that make communism laudable and worthy of sincere pursuit

the temptation is to say that transradfems do it because they feel powerless to do anything about actual social issues on any level and lash out at anyone they can feel good taking a swing at, but I don't give a fuck, I'm not willing to give them that they're just misguided, I don't think there's a single atom in the being of even one transradfem that cares about about anything beyond the clout they can extract from it, at best everything they whine about is less than a fourteen year old on Livejournal writing about how unfair it is when their parents won't let them get a tattoo except usually the the fourteen year old would be relaying actual events that actually happened

and I straight up do not fucking believe anyone gets hate mail over interactions I've had with them either, I fucking do not believe those obviously bullshit lies while I still get anons calling me zipperits and trying to trigger dysphoria on the assumption that works on me for saying I think transmascs aren't cis men

in fact, I kinna half-joked about it before, but I think I now just fully believe it one hundred percent was a fucking trans rad fem - probably even this one in particular! - who sent my published work to that TERF the other day, because I haven't had that pinned or brought it up in months and I've never gotten attention from TERFs before this month outside of one or two comments that went nowhere

[sleepytimechloe]

So! I (once again) got deleted, this time it took less than 3 months, which was demoralizing to say the least. I was still processing the last one (where did I go wrong, how can I keep that from happening again, I hate losing all the mutuals and the conversations and everything), when BAM it happens again. And I go away to hide under a rock.

A rock being one of my vanilla blogs because of course I can never completely leave Tumblr.

And I'm thinking, do I want to rebuild yet again? Is it worth it? Should I give up looking at porn? Well obviously not. But should I just look at it but not share anything? Stop talking to people about porn? And one day about a week after I was booted, I happen to notice that my conversation with @sleepytimechloe has reappeared.

(Yes, I don't actually have conversations with myself. My porn and vanilla blogs send each other things.)

I thought, that can't be right? Is it back?

And it WAS. That naughty naughty night that I went back to my naughty ways (while still, I thought, staying within Tumblr's ever-changing boundaries) was there. Preserved in amber in the moment of my deepest perversion.

I logged in long enough to leave a John Travolta wtf, so people could see I saw it too... And left again.

I was processing a loss, and another loss, and the fact that I was mysteriously resurrected didn't stop the processing. You know?

I guess I'm still trying to figure myself out. And what, and who, I want to be online. (And how that compares with what they'll allow!) I'm back, so maybe I wasn't that bad? But still, I feel *wrong* somehow... I used to say, I'm here to look at porn, maybe write a little porn, but not to BE the porn...

Anyway. Once I decided to come back and see what I'd been missing... I COULDN'T REMEMBER WHAT EMAIL I USED HERE! NOT JUST THE PASSWORD BUT THE EMAIL! And every time I tried one, it was like, nope, that was the 3rd deleted blog. No, that was the 6th or 7th, come on, kid, that one's dead too... And it was depressing

(I haven't been able to log in to my Sleepy Time Stories blog for like 6 months! I have no idea what the log-in was for that!)

BUT this morning I have pieced it together! Found the email address I created for this one, chosen a new password, and I am BACK!

To say hi, to survey the damage, and to figure out where I'm going from here.

HI!

[remotepixel]

Hi, how would yandere avengers react if their platonic teen obsession threatens to disclose their yandere tendencies or has actually done so to the media?

Hii, thank you for requesting!!

Tw: yandere themes + kidnapping mentions

-I’m assuming this is somewhat far into the obsession, enough where it’s obvious to you that something is very wrong, but not to the ‘they’ve gone completely off the rails and everyone can tell’ point.

-Getting the evidence would already be pretty hard. Sure, you have the obvious fact they’re always hanging around you, but, they’re superheroes, people are naturally going to support their side unless you have enough proof (or, sometimes, no matter what).

-Any clear red flag (e.g. trackers) would be specially manufactured by a world-renowned genius, so a casual police search likely wouldn’t find anything, and it’d be pretty nerve-wracking to try and record a conversation with a superspy.

-However, if you do collect enough, it still wouldn’t be easy to get rid of them.

-If you threaten them, the amount of guilt-tripping would be mental. Some of them are more self-aware than others, but all of them share the same sentiment that, at the end of the day, they’re (or, think they are) helping you. They know some of their behaviour crosses normal lines, but look how much your life has improved since they’ve been around, isn’t it a good thing someone cares about you?

-All of them would be hurt by your threat, and likely back off at least for a while if you strike some sort of deal (e.g. you leave me alone, I won’t tell). But they’ll be back, or still lurking around in parts of your life.

-I think members like Natasha and Bruce, who are more self-aware yet never speak out against the more delusional ones (since they’re still working together at the end of the day), would back off the most. They don’t want you hating them even more, and, currently, your relationship is on a thin line - it’s better to back off and subtly guide you back to them then force it.

-None of them fully take your threat seriously, even if it hurts their feelings. They know they have the upper hand here: government links, popularity, influence - you’re completely out of your depths even if you think, or act, otherwise.

-If you’re still very consistent on disclosing everything to the media despite their efforts to chill, you’re likely getting kidnapped. Drastic, obviously, but it’s the only way to guarantee you’re both in their grasp and others aren’t concerned.

-If you already disclosed it however, the methods you used to go through with it play a big role in the outcome.

-As I mentioned, there’s probably trackers in your phone, both for location and general monitoring, e.g. a keylogger. The second you post your blog, or send your email to the news, it’s getting deleted and completely wiped if possible. In this case, it’s probably going to follow the same route as before, but with extra emotional pain because you didn’t even “try talking” to them.

-If you focus more on meeting up with reporters in real-life, maybe getting them to collect their own evidence in the background, there’s a higher chance of success. However, that does require having insiders in a hopefully-popular newspaper company, something a teen probably wouldn’t have.

-Assuming the avengers haven’t noticed the news coming out about them, for at least enough time that citizens are able to read and share this, panic would ensue the second they realise.

-They would experience a range of emotions, most mentioned above but some would also hold a bit of rage (not necessarily at you, your actions more so). They have one, very obvious thing they need to do now though: address the ‘rumours’.

-Deleting the reports would raise more suspicions, and they can’t just admit everything the news is saying is technically true, so they decide to try and twist this into their favour. They’ll (mainly Tony as he’s probably dealt with this sort of thing before) make up some sort of story that puts you into the wrong - like you’re lying for attention or were trying to purposely ruin their reputation for petty revenge.

-If they’re feeling really nice they may try and chalk it up as a misunderstanding, but I think it depends who has a role in writing the response. For example, Steve would think it’s slightly too far, while Tony would just think of it as a necessary outcome - he also just doesn’t like listening to Steve’s advice so.

-You become a pretty big talk in the media, but, when people start believing the avenger’s side, it’s mostly snide comments or dragging your name through the mud. The avengers would probably feel bad for the amount of slander you’re getting, assuming they didn’t before, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they deleted a few, just plain evil comments. But you forced their hand, if you haven’t had ‘lied’ in the first place, this would have never happened.

-In a way, this may just bring you closer to them. With what feels like the whole world against you, the only people who really seem to care anymore are the avengers. They might even offer you a deal - you admit you were lying to the media, apologize, and they’ll publicly support you. Sure, it won’t get everyone off your back, and you’re be scared to even go outside in case reporters are there, but it means you have the most powerful team in your corner again, and isn’t that what you need?

Hi, I just wanted to ask you about how you (as in you, personally) know when someone submitting their fundraiser is genuine vs a scammer. I've tried to suss out the differences in the posts when you promote and when you call them out for being a scammer and I haven't really caught on to many details. It's fine if you don't have the spoons to fully explain, I know it might be a nuanced thing.

There are a lot of clues -- they don't know anything about the condition that they're posting about (most of them make urgent pleas about T1 diabetics needing insulin, but they don't know anything about diabetes, which makes their posts kind of insulting tbh, or they'll post about cancer but they don't know anything about the cancer that they're posting about), their blogs are new (sometimes with backdated posts to make the blog seem older than a few hours, but usually they don't bother), they use the same set of pictures which you can usually image search... but it really comes down to the fact that I get a lot of these every week, and eventually you just... know.

I actually get a lot more of these than I ever post, not because I'm skipping on posting them, but because they broadshot as many blogs as they can with asks, and one of the things that Tumblr seems at least somewhat good at resolving reports on is these scammer blogs. I base that statement on the fact that I get probably 2 of these a day, minimum, but I only ever get to post like 2-3 a week because the rest of them show up in my email inbox as notification emails, but they're gone from my inbox. So either the blogs get deleted by the creator pretty quickly or they're getting yeeted by Tumblr. I'll give Tumblr at least a little credit there.

So yeah, it really just becomes a thing where pattern recognition kicks in because I see a lot of them.

i keep seeing not only blogs run by (verified) palestinians but also pro-palestine blogs compiling verified gofundmes getting deleted too. and they get taken down sooo fast. i had a stalker back when i was dating my ex bf accusing me of being a “pedo fucker” and making a bunch of blogs with titles like “audrey wuvs pedos :3” and sexually harassing me and multiple other mutuals and staff dragged their feet sooo hard on dealing with it they would respond to all my reports with emails like you’re sending us too many complaints we’re overwhelmed :( they don’t give a shit about sexual harassment and stalking but trans women and palestinians and black women get their blogs sniped just for existing and especially if they call out the fact that this happens. this site’s moderation system is a joke

[nerdragenewvegas]

You're welcome to message any blogs you'd like. I already messaged stardancerluv to explain it to her. darling-i-read-it hasn't been active in months and masquenoire is just an rp blog, not a fic blog.

I already deleted or orphaned the fics from ao3. If you want to harass random blogs go ahead, I honestly know why I care. In fact, here are more blogs that I took fics from and uploaded to ao3; acapellyditty, finniestoncrane, gilverrwrites.

They're deleted now so it doesn't matter.

I don't care if you think I'm the bad guy. I don't care what you of me at all. I'm planning on killing myself before my 20th bday in a few weeks anyways. Nothing matters at all. You think I'm not a safe person? I won't even be here, baby. Feel free to celebrate!

You could have responded to my original comment on Ao3 NICELY. Even if you didn't want to change or remove the tags (which would have been the write thing to do as that IS Ao3 etiquette) you could have at least responded and explained nicely instead of immediately attacking and insulting me.

oh my godddddddddd the emotional blackmail won't work here, log off, sis. Call 911. Shut uuuuuuuuup you're boring all of us now, crashing out and threatening to self harm because someone's not submitting to your whims is an abuse tactic, in the time it took you to make a new email address and make a new tumblr to circumvent the block you could have called 911 and got actual help go awaaaaay your powers are useless here Edit: You've already deleted this account so I know you're probably mashing away at a fucking killer nonsensical and definitely very normal response right now but just know that I won't be engaging you any further now. Seek help, I'm not your therapist, sorry you came to me for that.

[semperama]

hiya! so i'm moodlighting on ao3/the writer of the things all come and gone and i was just reading all the ficlets you've written over the last few days, which are all AMAZING btw, would definitely subscribe should you ever want to upload them to ao3 👀 and then i checked my email and saw the very kind comment you left on my fic and wanted to return the love. so just popping by to say i adore your work and how beautifully, effortlessly readable your writing is. i also LOVED come and taste and i so wanted to reblog the post to share it with everyone but didn't due to the fact that my little sister follows me here and i didn't want to #Expose myself akdjdkfjdjf. ANYWAY, just wanted to let you know how much i admire you as a writer and that i look forward to anything else you might share with us in the future ❤️

Please omg, I have already reread The Things All Come and Gone (which I am linking here in case anyone who follows me hasn't read it yet--GO READ IT) like three times at least and I've had the tab open all week trying to come up with an adequate comment, and it still didn't feel like enough! I can't even put into words how much I love that fic! To have you here now saying such kind things to me is making me feel all wibbly. Thank you so much!!

I'll definitely be putting some of my ficlets on AO3 soon! I have a few more prompts in my inbox, and once I get through those, I'll repost the longer ones over there. I still feel weird about putting short things on AO3 sometimes, but I know that's dumb and it'll help people find them later since no one can find ANYTHING on tumblr, so yeah. Feel free to kick me if I don't do it. (The titles though......I have to come up with titles.....)

Also lmao when I first got on tumblr, my little sister followed me too! Luckily she was never really active, and I ended up deleting that blog and making a new one that she didn't know about so I could feel comfortable posting my smutty, smutty fics. The perils of crossing the streams of real life and tumblr!!

Anyway, you're so nice, thank you so much. I'm clutching your kind words to my chest and keeping them for a rainy day.

ok so basically the suspended me for having too many unused urls, which personally i think is crazy i mean were my saved urls really such hot commodities… WHO was jonesing for fucking. richardpapengirl. wonked. livvypalmer. jugheadscheherazade. jessaarons. these are loser urls only i could have loved that’s why i had them…. MY theory is to blame a swiftie. because one saved url i had was offinaforeignland (lyric from timeless) which i didn’t think anyone wanted due to it not even being a canon url… but it’s the only thing i can think of that i had that anyone would want and swifties are vile creatures so why not blame them!! ALSO. i believe someone was out to sabotage me because when i got the email about being suspended i also got THIS email at the same time to the minute

i got the don’t kill yourself email… so it feels very like somebody was trying to report me to Big Tumblr any way they could. that or there was some horrifically coincidental timing going on. my last post last night DID say something along the lines of “something horrible just happened to me in my bathroom” which i can see someone reading as worrisome. to clarify in case anyone needed it, that post was in fact actually about diarrhea. not self harm. so yeah. just in case we needed that explained 😐

ANYWAY so the email was like. hey somebody reported you for having unused urls, delete the blogs you don’t use and we’ll un-suspend your main page. so i deleted them and i replied to their email like heyyyy please give me my blog back i did what you wanted…. and i decided to wait til this morning for them to do anything. nothing happened this morning so i went to fucking. tumblr support this afternoon and submitted an appeal like heyyy i would loveee to have my blog back I’m not breaking the community guidelines anymore…. and i’ve decided to wait til tomorrow to see if they do anything. um i love to blog tho so here i am right now… hope they give my main back this is an awkward situation i’m not deleted but i can’t use my main i don’t jive with this at all…. we’ll see what happens tomorrow idk

anyway that’s my story <3 really sucked when i woke up this morning and wanted to make a gif compilation post about not wanting to go to work and i couldn’t…. evil….

[opinated-user]

I don't think it's the limbo from tumblr it not being able to take the url-- when someone deletes their blog, the url is unavailable for one year after they delete the blog. idk if it's the same if tumblr deletes them or not tho

i literally never heard of that being a thing so i went to test it out. i made a sideblog with a specific url (christmastimeishere63), deleted it and made it again no issue with the exact same url. anyone else can try it out too, they should be able to use it easily. i don't know either if there would be any difference if tumblr themselves deleted it, but again, i never heard of that being a rule in the first place. if they ban IPs or email that is an entirely different story already.

the fact that LO hasn't simply made a new blog still makes me believe she's trying to convince tumblr to give her back her blogs.

How to practice digital minimalism in our overwhelmingly technology focused world

Over the past couple of weeks i’ve found myself struggling to put my phone down, even in important situations or scenarios. For the upcoming months, I really want to challenge myself to limit screen time and stop mindless scrolling for hours. So for today’s post I really want to look at digital minimalism and explore how I can step away from the phone and step into the real world more often.

Introduction

In today's world, we are surrounded by technology and digital devices that demand our attention 24/7. From smartphones to laptops, social media to streaming services, it's easy to get lost in the digital clutter. This is where digital minimalism comes into play - it is a philosophy that encourages us to be mindful of our digital consumption and to use technology intentionally. In this blog post, I want to explore the art of digital minimalism and how it can help us lead a more intentional and fulfilling life.

The Benefits of Digital Minimalism

The term "minimalism" comes from the broader movement of minimalism, which is about simplifying one's life by reducing the number of material possessions and focusing on what truly adds value and meaning to our lives. Digital minimalism applies these principles specifically to technology and digital tools.

Digital minimalism has numerous benefits, including better mental health, improved productivity, and increased focus. By reducing our screen time and limiting our exposure to digital distractions, we can improve our mental wellbeing and reduce stress. This is because constant exposure to social media and digital devices can lead to information overload and a feeling of being constantly “switched on”. Additionally, by reducing our digital consumption, we can free up time to pursue other hobbies and interests, leading to a more fulfilling life.

At its core, digital minimalism is about being more intentional and deliberate in how we use technology and digital devices in our daily lives.

Tips for Practicing Digital Minimalism

Practicing digital minimalism can seem daunting at first, but there are simple steps we can take to reduce our digital consumption. Firstly, we can delete social media apps from our phones and only check them on our computers. This will reduce the temptation to mindlessly scroll through our feeds and allow us to be more present in our daily lives. Secondly, we can turn off notifications for non-essential apps, such as gaming or shopping apps, which can help reduce distractions and increase productivity. Finally, we can set aside specific times of the day to check our emails and messages, rather than constantly checking them throughout the day.

The Importance of Balance

While digital minimalism can have numerous benefits, it's important to remember that technology is not inherently bad. In fact, technology has transformed the way we live and work, making our lives easier and more convenient. The key is to find a balance between our digital and offline lives. By being mindful of our digital consumption and using technology intentionally, we can reap the benefits of digital minimalism without sacrificing the benefits of technology.

Conclusion

Digital minimalism is not about completely eliminating technology from our lives, but rather about being mindful of our digital consumption and using technology intentionally. By reducing our screen time and limiting our exposure to digital distractions, we can improve our mental wellbeing, increase productivity, and lead a more fulfilling life. So, the next time you find yourself mindlessly scrolling through social media, take a step back and ask yourself - is this really how I want to spend my time?

Looking to get into digital minimalism, here are 10 ways to practice digital minimalism:

Delete social media apps from your phone and only check them on your computer

Turn off notifications for non-essential apps

Set aside specific times of the day to check your emails and messages

Use a website blocker to limit your time on distracting websites

Unsubscribe from email newsletters and marketing emails that you don't find useful

Use a physical calendar or planner instead of relying on digital ones

Practice mindfulness or meditation to reduce digital distractions and improve focus

Take regular breaks from technology and spend time outdoors or doing offline activities

Use technology for specific purposes, such as work or communication, rather than mindlessly browsing

Keep your digital devices out of the bedroom to promote better sleep hygiene.
