#it's the frustration and rage for me

[warpedpuppeteer]

Remember when Eddie went full on Scorned Wife mode at a grocery store and called Buck a No Good Husband and a Deadbeat Dad like they were on the edge of getting a divorce?? 😭 And Buck was like "why can't you see my side in this!" like an upset husband who expected his spouse to always have his back no matter what but is betraying him by taking the other side?? And they weren't even dating? Fucking wild 😭

Since this is currently my most active blog with some followers, just wanted to say a few things:

It's so incredibly depressing to see tumblr sellout to the whole AI shit and try to pacify users by the opt-out toggle option when it mostly likely won't do jack shit. Tumblr has been doing shitty things for awhile now, but out of all old social media it was a last shabby bastion for various weirdos, including a fandom weirdo like me.

I'm just an old silly hobbyist artist who badly draws fanart of old cartoons, but even the idea that my stuff will help train AI to be better to stealing desirable art of actual artists, whose work is their livelyhood is fucking maddening. Opting out won't help (Sources say data is already available to companies). Deleting stuff won't help (tumblr have access to deleted blogs and reblogs put your stuff in reach too). Using Nightshade and Glaze is not a viable option for me (my old laptop's specks is not up to support those programs, and I'm too afraid to try and accidently fry it and than all my shit would be lost) and even those doesn't solve the problems of all of my old stuff across like 7 sideblogs+my old tumblr account's 2 blogs.

Of course, maybe all hope is not lost for tumblr. There may be solutions and decisions later down the line. But for now I probably won't be posting any new stuff for a bit while I decide if I want to stay on tumblr and be complicit in feeding the insidious and insatiable AI machines.

And as alternatives, I created new account for bluesky, and consider pillowfort and cohost to share my random silly art. Even dusted out my old tapas and newgrounds accounts, and consider webtoons and comicfury to post and archive my few comics. Hopefully I will share links in my pinned post when I set whatever I decide up, even if all of it is so exhausting and depressing.

And hey, if you read this so far - just a reminder:

Opt out on that 'share with third parties' toggle like explained here! - it may do jack shit, but its better than nothing.

Write a polite disagreeing feedback to staff like suggested on this post. - remember not all staff had a hand in this, so no need to be rude, but make sure to have your voice be heard.

Use Nightshade and Glaze to poison your art - if you are an artist and are able to do it unlike me. It may not be sure proof way to stop/kill AI, but it sure shows that artists will fight back.

Use ArtShield - an online lowtech alternative to Nightshade & Glaze, puts a stamp/watermark on your art, invisible to humans but supposedly makes AI think its unsuitable to train on. (edit)

And please, take a moment for yourself. Because it fucking sucks.

So, I'm gonna go take a step back and burrow into some hole and cry for all of those who AI fucks over. I won't be gone forever, but for now I'm too frustrated and dissapointed to do anything.

and ALSO just to be fucking clear

London Heathrow Airport Accessibility Desk^

--

This has been the first time I've traveled internationally with my partner who has difficulty walking and requires either a wheelchair or cane to walk and by God has this experience truly been eye opening.

I didn't expect Paris and London to be particularly accessible but these few weeks have been (for me) unexpectedly frustrating and sometimes even difficult to enjoy because of it. As my partner's ability to walk has been progressively deteriorating over the past 2 years, it has been a daily struggle to work with/around his disability. Paris has far too many walkways and sidewalks that simply cannot fit a wheelchair, uneven paths, slanted curbs that are still elevated enough to make them untraversable unless pulling a wheelchair backwards, and (arguably most frustrating) irritating and uncaring locals(?). London was better but ultimately still its own overwhelming beast to move through.

The thing that specifically made me feel the need to post this is the picture attached above where the seating in front of the LHR airport assistance desk is walled off with rope dividers. ??!? In what universe does that make sense??? My issues with the LHR accessiblity assistance don't end there but I don't have the energy or patience to write about them while we wait for our flight. Unforgettable experience.

TLDR: accessiblity in London Heathrow Airport, London and Paris (both in general) sucks and I am very angry about it.

I don't understand how my partner, the person actually struggling with these systems manages to keep a more kind visage about it but I am livid.
