This is what they’ve been doing since Journeys ended. I think.

It's taking all my strength not to laugh react on all my friends' hysterics on facebook. Leftists really aren't happy unless they're catastrophizing. And projecting. And then when nothing they're worried about happens for the next 4 years, will they admit they were fearmongered and re-evaluate how they consume news? I'm not holding my breath.

What flag?what's happening

I've got enough new people that probably deserve an explanation.

I made that flag. I designed it for my dad, whose projects are endless and always begin with "you know what would be a cool thing to do..." and then end, years later, with fully custom-built modifications that look like they could have been made that way in a factory. The text itself is a modified version of the Programmer's Credo, which in turn is a parody of a presidential speech about the space race.

Back when I first made the flag, I posted a picture here, on the hellsite, with permission to use the phrase in whatever projects people wanted to make. Sometime recently, someone cropped out all the context, so it was just a picture of my flag, and started circulating it on twitter, facebook, instagram, and here on tumblr, without any credit. It'd be something entirely different if someone was posting their own graphic. I don't care what people do with the phrase itself, but that flag is, specifically, my work--I designed that.

It's now been reposted by the Elongated Muskrat himself, with, of course, no credit.

I simply do not have the energy to deal with this. I have therefore quote-tweeted (should I have replied? I don't know how tf the bird site works) with a link to my redbubble and will deal with this later when the muskrat's site seems to be working marginally better.

Anyway. Here's my brother and nephew, with proof in the background.

There is a chance that Tumblr will start scraping your art and images to sell to AI companies Like Midjourney.

Tweet

Important note for now: These are all speculative rumors coming from ex-tumblr employees at this point. But the important fact remains the same: You need to be Glazing AND Nightshading any and all content you upload.

Both Glaze and Nightshade are free for their desktop applications. They are developed by a team at the University of Chicago specifically with the intent of protecting artists from being scraped into AI datasets.

If your computer isn't strong enough, there is an online option called Web-Glaze you can request access for. Or, there is a new Art hosting website called Cara that has a partnership with the University of Chicago (the creators of Glaze and Nighshade) to integrate that same Web-glaze for all users to apply to anything they want to upload.

Again, there is a chance these rumors are false and this won't happen. But even if they are fake, all artists, and even just anyone uploading any image at this point, should be applying these programs to any uploaded image on the internet.

You know, it used to be that every time I left the internet for a few days, to go camping or whatnot -- in the days before smartphones, or early in their existence when coverage was slim -- that fandom on livejournal would explode. A number of huge wanks happened while I was physically and spiritually afk, and it was like returning to an apocalypse. I'd get back and immediately have to post about how I had been in the goddamn woods and did not know what was going on.

So it's nice to be so out of sync with the US that news is reaching me late but all the screaming is happening on Twitter, about which I have not cared since roughly 2009.

I hope the ghosts of Chadwick Boseman and Terry Pratchett are having a good laugh.

ngl i'm really going through it right now—for reasons unrelated to this blog. doing my best to take care of myself 🙃

[stardustbuck]

every time i come onto the app and see a horrible anti’s take in the tag i’m like are you okay or are you hyperfixating on what maybe 3 people said on twitter because everything they say is shit i have never come across on tumblr and they seem to be claiming we’re all violently horrible pieces of shit meanwhile everytime i check the tag it’s just ppl crying over their kiss, talking about hc’s or posting fics.
