Transferring all my current content over now, brace for dashboard flooding

I will queue it to space them out by 10 minutes between each post so they don't spam all in a row at least.

Because we all seem to need another reminder: This is not a pro-Vecna account. I try to explain his actions and the weird circumstances around them, but I very much hate his ass. There's no defending him, no excusing his actions, not after 1979. Local man has done unforgivable things, regardless of his extremely fucked up circumstances. Can I explain his reasoning for some of it? Yes. Is it tragic? Also yes, but that doesn't make it forgivable.

Do I think Vecna is Henry? No. Do I think he's Edward? Yes. Thus, Henry narrowly escapes blame. Edward not so much.

Do I hope Vecward ends up dying? Yes, because a) justice for Will/El and the other victims, and b) dear God just let the man die already. Haven't we all suffered enough (Vecward included)?

So...Vecna apologists will find no kinship here. We don't excuse abuse in this house.

The fact that the cleanliness of one’s home environment affects mental health AND is affected by mental health seems like one of the most bullshit parts of adult life/independent living because ‘there will always be dishes’, etc. and that is true, BUT! what your feverish and depressed mind might struggle to realize is that, by logical extension, cleaning your shit even marginally can give you a +15 boost in energy and stamina after like. six minutes of dedicated effort.

Hey guys, if you're blog looks like this

It doesn't matter if you have anything in your likes. You will be getting reported and blocked by people for thinking your a bot. This is the blogging website. You HAVE to reblog stuff

[blueskittlesart]

hey actually i do feel like i should make this post because people are so often surprised when I mention that my instagram is monetized. any business account (you can tell that it's a business account because the bio has a subtitle labeling the type of business they are) that has over 10k followers on instagram is eligible for reels monetization and any account with over 15k is eligible for post monetization. There is no requirement to disclose whether or not any given post is monetized, and every post is monetized by default when you opt-in to monetization. be cognizant of what you see and what you like. the payout system is engagement-based and rewards ragebait and engagement farming. and if you are a small artist or content creator, DO NOT let large business accounts repost your work without compensation. they are making money off of you and hoping you won't notice.

Excellent time to remind you I have a very dear headcanon that Chuuya developed a fear of lightning as discussed here and here

So, Tumblr is doing another new thing, and you may want to make your Likes private.

On my dash, I've started seeing posts with a header that says "Liked by [username of someone I follow]."

So far via this new feature, I have learned that various people I follow are fans of spicy queer photography, rpf, and some controversial opinions. Which is hardly surprising on tumblr dot com, but I haven't seen some of those people reblog such content in the past, so I didn't know that about them previously. (All these folks have their Likes publicly available, so I could in theory have browsed the posts they liked before. But to me, there's a difference between having Likes visible when people go looking for them vs. having them publicized on followers' dashes.)

If you don't like the idea of your liked posts showing up on followers' dashboards with your name at the top, you can change your settings so your Likes are private.

On mobile, open up your settings and click "Pages:"

Then make sure that sharing is turned off for Likes:

You can also send feedback to Tumblr.

hi would you say the barrier of entry for sailing is very high?

my family had a house near the beach so i spent every summer in the sea so i absolutely ADORE IT and wanted to learn how to sail recreationally but it's always seemed so expensive + hard to get into

advice or opinions are greatly appreciated if you have any to offer<3

btw i love ur blog ty :)

i would absolutely encourage you to try sailing out and i think it's a great sport to get into! i have introduced dozens of people to sailing so far and almost all of them hit the ground running. the learning curve is steep and even just joining for the first times without touching anything is exhilarating so no moment learning is wasted. strong motion sickness or a paralyzing fear of the ocean notwithstanding, i truly think everyone can learn the ropes (haha) and that quickly! we always joke that it is very easy to get a boat sailing and very hard to get it sailing fast, but you have the rest of the life to figure out the latter and even if you don't you will have a grand time on the water.

you did not specify if you want to get on a sailing yacht (that you can sleep and do long tours on) or a smaller dhingy so i will answer both and i hope it is helpful!

SAILING YACHTS:

when it comes to sailing yacht, the real challenge is not sailing but owning a boat, and that is where the financial barriers come in. i will not lie to you - owning a boat is really expensive, and i am talking 5 to 6 figures a year expensive for a middle-sized sailing yacht including mooring, fixes, equipment, utilities, tools, and everything else. you can absolutely find cheap boats sold at every coast line - but buying a boat is not expensive, having a boat is. (guy who just bought a rope for 600 human dollars voice) heed my warning.

THE GOOD NEWS: you absolutely do NOT need a boat to learn sailing on a yacht. everywhere there is a marina there is people looking for crew, and many sailing clubs have programmes for beginners to get you on a yacht and try it out! there are also many summer programmes to join on larger tours and learn sailing. i would encourage you to bring a friend or two because it's much easier to flounder around on a new ship in groups, but it is absolutely worth trying out and again - even being on a boat is exiting, and you learn by doing!

now. sailing is not a dangerous sport and this is my heightened sense for safety of a sailing instructor speaking. but! if you join on a boat even as a visitor please think of that sailing tumblr blog in your life and tell the captain that before you go out of the water you would like to know: 1) the number for local search and rescue, and 2) the position of the fire extinguisher, the lifeboat/life ring, and the emergency shut-off and 3) that you want to wear a life vest unrelated to weather conditions. if they make jokes about you being a worry-wart, take them in stride, but if they refuse to do any of this, you tell them that they are irresponsible and leave. things rarely go wrong but they can and i want you to know what to do. okay? sailing is not scary but being unprepared is. okay PSA over.

DHINGY SAILING:

dhingy sailing is the most fun, the closest to the water, and the fastest way to learning sailing because you are together with one other person max facing the winds. yes you will most certainly get wet, but it is very safe, close to shore, incredibly fun and exhilarating, teaching you self-reliance, reflexes, trains your sense of balance and gives you abs. it's the perfect sport. can you tell i teach dhingy sailing

if you want to learn dhingy sailing, again, do NOT immediately buy a dhingy. while they are far less expensive they are still a hassle and setting up the mast without knowing your way around a boat will discourage you from sailing forever. instead, again, join a sailing club or a short course to learn dhingy sailing!

many places can give you intensive courses and certificates that qualify you to lend out dhingys afterwards our you join a sailing club with their own dhingys (which there are a lot of everywhere!). most offer weekly or even daily sailing lessons and group sailing and faster than you know you will flying over the water. the financial barrier here could be the course cost as they vary widely (my students pay 50 euros a year but some places will cost you that or more an hour it's hard to gauge). apart from that, you will have to invest in a neoprene suit and a sailing west, but that's the extent of it.

all in all, give sailing a try! it is the most rewarding hobby i can think of and my heart aches for everyone who lives at the coast and doesn't best the waves one way or another. and again, i cannot stress it enough: being on the water is half the fun. everything else will happen in due time. the ocean waits for you! happy sailing!

the fact that they made it illegal to make ads louder than programs on tv in 2010 but haven't updated it to apply the same regulation to streaming. who do i have to call.

on puppycatfemme aka sweethartfemme (claudia/penny/opal/lottie lesbunnyfemme/batdollyfemme/stimmyfemme/stimmyguppi, catfish, race faker and toothfairyfemme impersonator)

aka stimmyfemme stimmyguppi stimmypenny dollypopfemme dollylottiefemme lesbunnyfemme batdollyfemme butchlovingdoll

i made this post as a reblog but i'm making a real one now to help spread the word. this peson was just outed as a catfish, race faker, manipulator and all around evil person by @ursaius and @toothfairyfemme more info about the situation can be found on their accounts. @melodramaschild also has a post. i will not be talking about any of that because i was not involved but i do want to share some concerning things i've found on my own to help raise awareness in the community and shut down their predatory behavior. i will by copy pasting my original post below

"hey so i don't have any involvment with this person directly but ive been aware of the sweethartfemme drama and following along with it. i actually saw a post about it a couple weeks ago and when i looked into them i noticed something similar to this asker and found it really weird they were following so many kids. specifically a lot of underaged butches/lesbians

its not "spreading false information" to point out that claudias following or friends with a lot of minors. im not accusing them of anything but i think its gross that theyre trying to act like they block minors as soon as they see them or dont befriend or even interact with kids at all when their following list is so full of people who are clearly underage. heres a video of all the accounts i found just in 5 minutes of going through their following list. the top rows are from when i first found their account and the others are from spending just 5 minutes scrolling and thats how many accounts i found. not accusing them of anything just saying it's not false information"

sweethartfemme/claudia also used a stranger's photos to catfish and race fake and posted the photos to their nsfw blog. apparently some of these photos were taken when the girl was underaged and her consent was not given but they were still putting this girl in sexual scenarios

here is claudia claiming that they never follow minors and block anyone under 18 and saying it is "spreading misinformation and false accusations" to say they do follow and befriend minors

some examples of who they are following and mutuals with. i was able to find so many examples of this (ages 14-17) just by scrolling through their following for a couple minutes. even more examples are available here

that's all. please block and dni this person if you see them. they change their name all the time so be on the watch! they have done so much damage to people and caused so much harm. iredeemable behavior. again @toothfairyfemme and @ursaius have more information on their accounts about the cat fishing race faking harassment manipulation and bullying

[alchemistc]

Hey uh, I've been getting a lot of spam in my inbox lately that I usually just block and delete, but just in case anyone is not familiar with phishing scams, this is a fun new/old one:

DON'T CLICK THOSE LINKS FOLKS.

Like this is actually a pretty decent attempt - no glaring spelling or grammatical errors, sounds like official wording - but just like the fucking bank who won't ask you for a pin unless you're at an ATM this is NOT how this works.

Also why would they send a verification link TO an account you're logged into. Just. What

I'm famous

I just came out of the burnout phase and the existential crisis to find that twitter tries to bully me out of doing mature art.

I have never been happier my entire life.

My honest reaction:

(got much more positive feedback though!)

Hope you all are doing good! <3 Have an amazing day!

PSA: the bots are getting sneaky

Hey guys just fyi, I haven’t seen anything about this, but I don’t get a follower notification when a bot follows me anymore.

My follower count will magically go up, but my activity doesn’t notify me of being followed by them. But when I click on my list of followers, there they all are.

At first I thought this was an issue with my tumblr specifically, but I still get notified when other people follow me, so I think that the bots just found a work around.
