i had a strange dream in which Vasco and Machete were both a) in a modern day gang and b) were based on real people that you, the artist, personally knew. Someone made a trivia post about your blog saying “Y’know how all 12 of the high ranking gang members in that canis albus webcomic wear necklaces with a die hanging from them? (Both Vasco and Machete had four sided dice btw) This is actually based on a real thing that the real people who are in the gang it’s based on wear.”
then someone reblogged it with “I didn’t believe this until I learned that Machete’s real life counterpart is the one that designed all of them, and has spares of them all for safe keeping. Supposedly, his most unique password is the one that protects the safe that the spares are in, which, in turn, is based on the canis albus blog!”
idk if or how you’d even interpret this as a drawing, but i kinda just wanted to let you know that i dreamt about your pups

also another benefit to private discord groups and stuff is if someone there turns out to be a horrible person, u can kick them. u can ban them. they wont have access to ur content anymore. unlike tumblr where even if groomers and sexual harassers r called out they still actively fucking post (benjaminthewolf/itsaraid/herniated-pylorus and more) and they will STILL SEE YOUR CONTENT. if they reblogged it onto their blog it can be there forever even if u dont want it to be. even if u have them fucking blocked they can still reblog ur stuff, u just wont b able to see they did it (like how herniated-pylorus reblogged from phorrests-fangz despite them having him blocked and had called him a gross weirdo) tumblr is not a good system for privacy and protecting urself against ppl u dont want seeing ur stuff
password protected tumblr blogs might also be a good option but idk much ab them

Hi angel! Abt ur recent vent, idk if it’s still an option but you used to be able to privatize blogs and make them password protected, should b in settings. Other option is go to a blog doesn’t exists page, right click n select view source, copy code n past in your blogs theme code section. Ppl will get a missing page when they visit. Would keep ppl from sending asks.
Tumblr media
That’s probably what I might end up doing is password protection it.

INTRODUCTION!!
We made this account idk how long ago but it was because we couldn't remember the password to the last one (oops). We were @closet-sys beforehand- remembered the password when we deleted it so :/. But for this little introduction, we are some sort of system, probably DDNOS/UDD or OSDD 1b (don't want to believe its DID) and our main host "found" out mid feb 2024 as he was in heavy denial for a decent bit.
We collectively like to be called Spores and go by it/its pronouns :)
SOO with that said we want to focus this page as individual introductions to us and just humor relating to Dissociative Disorders and our collective interests, maybe some art but mostly keeping it light. Always open to dms, asks and moots! (please interact with us ;-;)

✪ Before you interact ✪
Well to start this off we aren't inherently anti-endo, we just believe in the science and that Dissociation Disorders are formed by trauma and OSDD 1a/b and DID more specifically in early childhood. If the more research comes out and is supported by the science, or if the science is to be proven wrong then we can change our views but until then we believe it is impossible to be a system without the main factor of habitual early childhood trauma. I guess we're endogenic neutral? More leaning towards anti, but we won't like call you out on it or be rude, nothing like that. Feel free to block us if you want, protect your own self.

Really interested to know which of the two admins on my blog @dc changed the URL to @deecnuts without asking my permission and now have it hoarded on a password protected blog....I've reached out to both of them, the only 2 people who could've done it, and I won't blast either of them publicly since obviously it was only ONE of them who did it, and fuck maybe there's an explanation, but to me it seems like the reasoning was "oh, harmony hasn't been on tumblr, let's take her URL off the group blog SHE MADE and added me to, and let me steal the url to use in the future, and throw it on a password protected blog so she can't even message it directly". idk, it kinda pisses me off but I also know I was off tumblr a while so maybe I deserve it for not being more diligent about updating the blog? but like, that's still no excuse....i dunno, feeling very weird about the situation. at the end of the day, yes it's just a URL, I'm aware, but on the flipside, stealing a group blog's URL for your own personal use just seems icky! Especially if people know the URL was stolen, like how can you use it in good faith ever sdkfjhsdkfh
anyway, i don't own @dc anymore but I'd love to figure out why

hey I saw your post about wanting to deactivate all socials, I'm just a visitor from a post you made in a tag I frequent but if it's worth anything I felt what you're feeling for a long time, and I recently deleted everything but Tumblr and it's been very freeing. I stayed for a long time because I didn't want to lose all my mutuals but I realized even if a relationship is shallow and temporary in nature it's still worth something, and it's better to invest that energy into a few quality friends who will make time instead of spreading yourself think. Im not gonna lie and say it hasn't made socializing more difficult but in truth socializing just sucks right now no matter where you do it...people are just predisposed to being so nasty and gossipy and looking for faults in each other. And while I do love those few friends it is harder to get responses when you don't have social media to remind others you exist. People do forget, but then you just have to find a way to forge new relationships that aren't reliant on the internet. It's not easy tho it's all so difficult especially if you have depression or have autism (not making assumptions about you just speaking personally). most of the time I just feel like giving up but I try anyway. All of the time I'm very glad I deleted social media and I intend to leave the internet entirely at some point. Idk your life so I'm not going to give specific advice, but I just wanted to send this ask in case it might be helpful. Sometimes it really just comes down to sitting down and making a pros/cons list, and with Tumblr it's easy to just log out and password protect your blog and forget about it if you can't bring yourself to fully delete everything (so people can't go all the way back and see your old posts)
i don't know if you noticed, but in that post i also specifically complained about the weird activity on my blog and the fact that tumblr makes it possible for random strangers to do things like dig up posts and pics from 10 years ago and such. and still, as a stranger who doesn't know me or even follow me (not that it's important, but if you regularly read my blog you would've known that I've already deleted the rest of my social media, for example), you read that and decided it's ok to chime in on a very personal matter... i appreciate the concern, and at least you didn't do it anonymously, but if i wanted to hear from strangers i would've posted on a reddit board, not on my blog.

This
especially when so many terms like antitransmasculinity were made by Black trans men who were then harassed and lied about likely by some of the same group of white people now pushing this term and trying to erase any trans person who isn't a white binary trans woman from the community and history
by the same white women who say it's social murder for a rape victim to come forward if their rapist is a (white) trans woman....
But the hacking into a Black trans man's password protected sex work blog finding the detrans kink stuff he was doing for a transfem client and nonconsensually spreading that everywhere to call him a rapist and lesbiphobe is apparently not revenge porn or stalking or sexually predatory or social murder
Idk a lot of these people just seem to be white supremacists who think they can hide behind transfeminism to attack often SPECIFICALLY Black trans men and trans men of colour.
Being a woman doesn't make your racism feminist and being a trans woman doesn't make your racism trans empowerment.
Other people don't own us our bodies or the words we use to talk about our experiences and they need to stop behaving like we are objects while claiming to be feminists because they're treating us exactly like misogynistic terfs and Mras do just talking over us and making fun of us being upset and traumatised and trying to say we don't exist and don't contribute anything that could be of any value because we are "feeemales/tifs/foids/theyfabs/tmes/bitches" etc
Would it not make the most sense to describe the violent, forcible regendering of transmasculine people into womanhood as 'transemasculation'?
Does it not get to the heart of what is happening to transmascs--a denial of masculinity and/or manhood, based on the cissexist imperatives that those whose bodies are claimed by patriarchy as reproductive assets cannot alter or present their sex in ways deemed undesirable under the heterosexual regime?
This is ultimately what underlies the marginalization of queer and even racialized manhood as well--"deviations" from hegemonic manhood manifesting as denial of that manhood entirely, denigration via feminization, likening men to their "wretched opposites" in a deeply misogynistic society.
To me, it seems like an elegant term, but I'm curious to hear what others think.

Had way too much fun with this one so have all three main girls of my blog
Tumblr media
Idk why but Natasha just seems the perfect type to have a dragon friend who'll always protect her if needed. That, and they look very cute together
Tumblr media
I made Chaewon a demon because she is a menace to society. I would call her a gremlin if she wasn't so damn tall
Tumblr media
And then there's yours truly and all my hyperfixations in one image. Ain't it beautiful? Gave myself a cuter outfit this time around for some variety. While I love my blacks, looking cute and cozy is a must sometimes!
Tagging @brighteststar707, @xelasrecords and @password-door-lock !
I’ve seen like 10 posts of Picrew chains today and while I only have 1 mutual on here I wanted to do it so
Tumblr media
Make yourself with this Picrew and reblog
@moodlevoodle and also anyone else who wants to

I struggle a lot with anger issues, my therapist and other doctors gave me coping mechanisms for it and out of each of them, only one works every single time.
The others work in specific situations. One works every time.
Writing out my anger into some sort of fictional situations (such as any sort of arguing or even a physical fight.) as a way to release how I am feeling into words I can articulate more than just, trying to sit and explain it.
Putting my own emotional responses into my writing and my characters, or takes on existing media characters, helps me understand them and explain them. As well as helps me figure out how to cope with them, by writing the characters I project aspects of myself onto coping with them.
I use this coping mechanism with my experiences and emotions all the time, for most of my struggles if not all of them. And it works very well.
I never want to hear anyone trying to invalidate vent writing, it is an insanely helpful tool for a large group of people.
However, I don't think there should be as much of it in the public as there is. Most vent writing communities have been taken over and swarmed by gross and disgusting people using it for very wrong and fucked up things.
I don't judge coping mechanisms, but fuck do I judge the hell out of people who take advantage of hurt people expressing their pain, for some kind of sick pleasure or enjoyment.
Also, I don't think venting communities are the healthiest choice for most of the people in them.
I do think that creating vent art, such as photo edits, writing, drawings and things like that - is a healthy outlet for some people, and it deserves more respect than it gets. Just, when done in your own safe and private spaces, a password protected side blog if you use Tumblr that only a small select few trusted people have access to is a good choice. I also have accounts on other websites kept only in my friend group, random people get blocked, to post my own writing.
Idk. This is just me rambling about some things I have strong feelings on.

regarding the incident with that one user who i won't name because i don't feel like i should:
i did password-protect this blog as a result of that for a bit. i think it's "resolved" (as much as it can be) now which is why i'm back. i honestly do feel some of what i said to that person was inappropriate and in an apologetic message they sent me i told them to not worry about it and take care of themselves (if you're reading this, i meant that, and i am sorry for the insensitive things i said myself) 'cause i was living in the indescribable nightmare that is an abusive home environment with little to no external support to offset that only 2 years ago. that isn't me trying to justify their behavior and i'm not the only one who was involved in that situation but it can put you in...some extremely dark mental places and the only way to get out of that or combat it is to focus on yourself and what you need to survive which is what i hope they do and i hope they are able to leave like i got the extremely lucky chance to (though the place i went to at first was not safe) and i hope they are able to heal from it and live a happier and more comfortable life. i wish i had more advice for someone in that circumstance since i was in it for the first 20-odd years of my life but there's no surefire way to survive that kind of thing on your own. i just distracted myself mostly with fictional worlds and my imagination and held onto fantasies about the future.
they also kinda reminded me of an ex-friend of mine in some ways and while i no longer speak with that person and they did some things (not to me) that i don't feel i can look past or forgive i still don't wish them harm or suffering and only that they are able to heal and have healthier, more fulfilling relationships with other people, because that's the root of the issue. it's not as if being abused or mistreated creates this 1:1 ratio of wanting to or unintentionally enacting or desiring any harm towards others but in a culture where inter-personal violence is normalized and someone doesn't have anything in their life to combat that narrative and offset its effects, then the cycle gets perpetuated. and that's something i'm guilty of myself. punitive measured in any capacity don't help to break that cycle. one of my mutuals pointed out that we have a tendency to be unnecessarily callous to others online and even if i wasn't inclined to agree with her in that moment, she's right.
i'm not posting this as like a self-masturbatory thing or whatever btw i'm like. not interested in defending my online image or w/e on this particular blog like i kinda screwed the pooch on that one already and i'm a deeply fucked up person which is an uncharitable way to describe my current psychological circumstance i suppose but i tend to be be rather cold and reckless and highly self-centered and very bitter which i definitely have a responsibility to work on and i don't always practice what i preach (which is mainly due to dissociated parts stuff if i'm honest and that has yet to be meaningfully addressed but also that isn't an excuse.) idk what to end this with things just suck and i wish the world were more gentle.

hey, i started following you recently and ur bio says ur a hacker? any tips on where to start? hacking seems like a v cool/fun way to learn more abt coding and cybersecurity/infrastructure and i'd like to explore it but there's so much on the internet and like, i'm not trying to get into anything illegal. thanks!
huh, an interesting question, ty!
i can give more tailored advice if you hit me up on chat with more specifics on your background/interests.
given what you've written here, though, i'll just assume you don't have any immediate professional aspirations (e.g. you just want to learn some things, and you aren't necessarily trying to get A Cyber Security Job TM within the next three months or w/e), and that you don't know much about any specific programming/computering domain yet.
(stuff under cut because long)
first i'd probably just try to pick some interesting problem that you think you can solve with tech. this doesn't need to be a "hacking" project at first; i was just messing around with computers for ages before i did anything involving security/exploitation.
if you don't already know how to program, you should ideally pick a problem you can solve via programming. for instance: i learned a lot back in the 2000s, when play-by-post forum RPGs were in vogue.  see, i'd already been messing around, building my own personal sites, first just with HTML & CSS, and later on with Javascript and PHP.   and i knew the forum software everyone used (InvisionPowerBoard) was written in PHP.  so when one of the admins at my RPG complained that they'd like the ability to set multiple profile pictures, i was like, "hey i'm good at programming, want me to create a mod to do that," and then i just... did. so then they asked me to program more features, and i got all the sexy nerd cred for being Forum Mod Queen, and it was a good time, i learned a lot.
(i also got to be the person who was frantically IMed at 2am because wtf the forum is down and there's an inscrutable error, what do??? basically sysadmining! also, much less sexy! still, i learned a lot!)
the key thing is that it's gotta be a problem that's interesting to you: as much as i love making dorky sites in PHP, half the fun was seeing other people using my stuff, and i think the era of forum-based RPGs has passed. but maybe you can apply some programming talents to something that you are interested in—maybe you want to make a silly Chrome extension to make people laugh, a la Cloud to Butt, or maybe you'd like to make a program that converts pixel art into cross-stitching patterns, maybe you want to just make a cool adventure game on those annoying graphing calculators they make you use in class, or make a script for some online game you play, or make something silly with Arduino (i once made a trash can that rolled toward me when i clapped my hands; it was fun, and way easier than you'd think!), whatever.
i know a lot of hacker-types who got their start doing ROM hacking for video games—replacing the character art or animations or whatever in old NES games. that's probably more relevant than the PHP websites, at least, and is probably a solid place to get started; in my experience those communities tend to be reasonably friendly to questions. pick a small thing you want to do & ask how to do it.
also, a somewhat unconventional path, but—once i knew how to program a bit of Python, i started doing goofy junk, like, "hey can i implemented NamedTuple from scratch,” which tends to lead to Python metaprogramming, which leads to surprising shit like "oh, stack frames are literally just Python objects and you can manually edit them in the interpreter to do deliberately horrendous/silly things, my god this language allows too much reflection and i'm having too much fun"... since Python is a lot of folks' first language these days, i thought i'd point that out, since i think this is a pretty accessible start to thinking about How Programs Actually Work under the hood. allison kaptur has some specific recommendations on how to poke around, if you wanna go that route.
it's reasonably likely you'll end up doing something "hackery" in the natural course of just working on stuff. for instance, while i was working on the IPB forum software mods, i became distressed to learn that everyone was using an INSECURE version of the software! no one was patching their shit!! i yelled at the admins about it, and they were like "well we haven't been hacked yet so it's not a problem," so i uh, decided to demonstrate a proof of concept? i downloaded some sketchy perl script, kicked it until it worked, logged in as the admins, and shitposted a bit before i logged out, y'know, to prove my point.
(they responded by banning me for two weeks, and did not patch their software. which, y'know, rip to them; they got hacked by an unrelated Turkish group two months later, and those dudes just straight-up deleted the whole website. i was a merciful god by comparison!)
anyway, even though downloading a perl script and just pointing it at a website isn't really "hacking" (it's the literal definition of script kiddie, heh)—the point is i was just experimenting a lot and trying a lot of stuff, which meant i was getting comfortable with thinking of software as not just some immutable relic, but something you can touch and prod in unexpected ways.
this dovetails into the next thing, which is like, just learn a lot of stuff. a boring conventional computer science degree will teach you a lot (provided you take it seriously and actually try to learn shit); alternatively, just taking the same classes as a boring conventional computer science degree, via edX or whatever free online thingy, will also teach you a lot. ("contributing to open source" also teaches you a lot but... hngh... is a whole can of worms; send a follow-up ask if you want that rant.)
here's where i should note that "hacking" is an impossibly broad category: the kind of person who knows how to fuck with website authentication tokens is very different than someone who writes a fuzzer, who is often quite different than someone who looks at the bug a fuzzer produces and actually writes a program that can exploit that bug... so what you focus on depends on what you're interested in. i imagine classes with names like "compilers," "operating systems," and "networking" will teach you a lot. but, like, idk, all knowledge is god-breathed and good for teaching. hell, i hear some universities these days have actual computer security classes? that's probably a good thing to look at, just to get a sense of what's out there, if you already know how to program.
also be comfortable with not knowing everything, but also, learn as you go. the bulk of my security knowledge came when i got kinda airdropped into a work team that basically hired me entirely on "potential" (lmao), and uh, prior to joining i only had the faintest idea what a hypervisor was? or the whole protection ring concept? or ioctls or sandboxing or threat models or, fuck, anything? i mostly just pestered people with like 800 questions and slowly built up a knowledge base, and remember being surprised & delighted when i went to a security conference a year later and could follow most of the talks, and when i wound up at a bar with a guy on the xbox security team and we compared our security models a bunch, and so on.  there wasn't a magic moment when i "got it", i was just like, "okay huh this dude says he found a ring-0 exploit... what does that mean... okay i think i got that... why is that a big deal though... better ask somebody.." (also: reading an occasional dead tree book is a good idea. i owe my firstborn to Robert Love's Linux Kernel Development, as outdated as it is, and also O'Reilly's kookaburra book gave me a great overview of web programming back in the day, etc.  you can learn a lot by just clicking around random blogs, but you’ll often end up with a lot of random little facts and no good mental scaffolding for holding it together; often, a decent book will give you that scaffolding.)
(also, it's pretty useful if you can find a knowledgable someone to pepper with random questions as you go. finding someone who will actively mentor you is tricky, but most working computery folks are happy to tell you things like "what you're doing is actually impossible, here's why," or "here's a tutorial someone told me was good for learning how to write a linux kernel module," or "here's my vague understanding of this concept you know nothing about," or "here's how you automate something to click on a link on a webpage," which tends to be handier than just google on its own.)
if you're reading this and you're like "ok cool but where's the part where i'm handed a computer and i gotta break in while going all hacker typer”—that's not the bulk of the work, alas! like, for sure, we do have fun pranking each other by trying dumb ways of stealing each other's passwords or whatever (once i stuck a keylogger in a dude's keyboard, fun times). but a lot of my security jobs have involved stuff like, "stare at this disassembly a long fuckin' time to figure out how the program pointer got all fucked up," or, "write a fuzzer that feeds a lot of randomized input to some C++ program, watch the program crash because C++ is a horrible language for writing software, go fix all the bugs," or "think Really Hard TM about all the settings and doohickeys this OS/GPU/whatever has, think about all the awful things someone could do with it, threat model and sandbox accordingly." occasionally i have done cool proof-of-concept hacks but honestly writing exploits can kinda be tedious, lol, so like, i'm only doing that if it's the only way i can get people to believe that Yes This Is Actually A Problem, Fix Your Code
"lua that's cool and all but i wanted, like, actual links and recommendations and stuff" okay, fair. here's some ideas:
microcorruption: very fun embedded security CTF; teaches you everything you need to know as you're doing it.
cryptopals crypto challenges: very fun little programming exercises that teach you a lot of fundamental cryptography concepts as you're going along! you can do these even as a bit of a n00b; i did them in Python for the lulz
the binary bomb lab is hilariously copied by, like, so many CS programs, lol, but for good reason. it's accessible and fun and is the first time most people get to feel like a real hacker! (requires you know a bit of C beforehand)
ctftime is a good way to see when new CTFs ("capture the flag"s; security-focused competitions) are coming up. or, sometimes CTFs post their source code, so you can continue trying them after the CTF is over. i liked Stripe's CTFs when they were going, because they focused on "web stuff", and "web stuff" was all i really knew at the time. if you're more interested in staring at disassembly, there's CTFs focused on that sort of thing too.
azeria has good ARM assembly & exploitation tutorials
also, like, lots of good talks out there; just watching defcon/cansecwest/etc talks until something piques your interest is very fun. i'd die on a battlefield for any of Christopher Domas's talks, but he assumes a lot of specific x86/OS knowledge, lol, so maybe don’t start with that. oh, Julia Evans's blog is honestly probably pretty good for just learning a lot of stuff and really beginner-friendly?
oh and wrt legality... idk, i haven't addressed it here since it hasn't come up in my own work much, tbh. if you're just getting started you're kind of unlikely to Break The Law without, y'know, realizing maybe you're doing something a bit gray-area? and you can cross that bridge when you come to it? Real Hacking TM is way more of a pain-in-the-ass than doing CTFs and such, and you'll learn way more with the latter, so who cares lol just do the fun thing

Ok so I've been mulling over it in my head
Pros of having it on priv:
I am personally very selective of who gets to read my rambles cuz my AU works, arts, and ideas, are very personal and important to me. With it on priv, I get the security that I do with my priv Twt and Insta accs. I get to ensure that only my mutuals can see my art WIPs and rambles, and that only my 18+ mutuals can interact/engage with my NSFW art WIPs and rambles
Cons of having it on priv:
It's password protected and people can't follow you on priv Tumblr blogs, my mutuals can't request to follow me like with priv Twt and Insta accounts
Idk what it looks like on the other end, so Idk if my posts are even showing on the TL when my blog is priv? I assume so cuz my moots told me they still get notifs from my reblogs
I have to unlock the blog everytime one of my mutuals wants to follow me
Pros of having it public:
People can actually interact with your posts (even priv Twt and Insta accs allow likes, Idk why priv Tunglr blogs don't)
Tumblr being able to embed links is great but with it public, I can actually reblog my own posts cuz it's actually so annoying that I have to link to my posts everytime just to reference my old rambles. My AU ideas usually build on each other (ie. previous ideas), since I reference my old posts a lot
Cons of having it public:
I don't get the feeling of security that I can keep my audience/followers very selective. I want to be able to control who gets to see my stuff because I prefer a separation of content (SFW and NSFW), that's why I created separate blogs for them in the first place.
I don't like the idea or feeling of randos (non-mutuals) reading my AU works. Once again, they're very personal to me, so I keep them for my mutuals only
I would have to remove all tags on my art WIPs and ramble posts and AU idea posts, just to ensure my posts don't show up in search results
Qorn b*ts and randos/non-mutuals interacting with my posts?
Other:
Because my thing is that like… I want to choose what I show to the public, and what I keep for my mutuals on priv, because I'm very selective of who gets to see and read my stuff.
Like I could just remove all tags so that they don't show up in the search results, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to go to the Mass Post Editor just to remove all tags. Cuz that's a lot of work WHDHSHDS
Cuz I usually add a lot of tags onto my posts just to make it easy for me to reference/go back to
I think I'm leaning towards unlocking it and keeping it public, but just removing all tags (eventually).
Anyways I'm in the process of adding Community Label: Sensitive Themes to my previous NSFW posts because I JUST found out that existed? I'll be marking the NSFW posts all with the Community Label and a Read More 👍
Also Tumblr's tags are just fucking broken regardless of whether I'm on priv or public 😭
Like I just tried clicking on one of my KuroEne posts tagged with the ship name like #/kuroene on mobile and omfg I just know I have WAY more posts than that. Like not all of my tagged ship posts show up in the search results of my blog
Temporarily opened this account for mutuals to follow me!
I've been cross posting my rambles onto @/stepswowdsen
Tumblr is annoying about priv blogs but I can un-priv for people to follow me for those who want to 👍
Like apparently it doesn't work like Twt or Insta priv you can only password protect your blog
So people need the password to even see it
And you can't follow blogs while they're password protected
So I'm gonna open it for my mutuals
And also Tumblr Mobile doesn't even have the option to remove the password so had to go on browser to do it
One option is to keep this blog open but just not use tags but I don't like the idea of randos reading my rambles
I'm much more comfortable when I know it's with mutuals I trust since my AUs are very personal to me
And because I post NSFW here, only for 18+ mutuals to follow
I'm debating whether I should keep this blog open but just remove tags so it doesn't show up in search results

idk. its just that adults online do literally nothing to keep their content away from minors but complain abt them “invading” adult spaces constantly as if they dont have the power to fix that at least partially. is it so difficult to not follow minors if you dont want them following you? is it that difficult to keep nsfw and fetish art out of main tags and public spaces anyone can access? is it really that hard to put adult content in spaces that allow you to regulate who can and cant see them like password protected blogs and private accounts? it involves a minimum amount of effort yes and with human procedures theres always going to be human error but isnt it your responsibility as an adult to try?
