Today's advice from your Goth Auntie

Stop slouching, drink some water, take your meds.

You’re not responsible for everything. Everything is not your fault.

Who told the Lurking Horror about chocolate covered coffee beans? Cryptid toddlers are not allowed chocolate covered coffee beans!

"Sorry i reported you" scam making it's rounds here.

I'm not even banned.

Vague details.

Doesn't just start with the reason for contact.

You submit help to www.tumblr.com/support or help.tumblr.com. NOT the links provided in the photos.

the proof of email photo is crunchy as hell. Looks old too.

Why do i have to contact them to confirm my innocence. lmao.

What is the scam? You rush to prove your innocence to the email and they will respond back to you needing to verify your login info and then steal your account. easy. Discord and Steam have a version of this too.

tumblrsupport.com was registered *this month* by someone using a DNS privacy service. tumblr.com was registered in 2006, and is owned by Mr. Car Hammer Explosion himself. No competently designed platform would ever send that sort of email, but it's really easy to fake an email if you buy a domain (and put nothing on it):

then use the default mail provider of whoever you bought it from:

frankly it's weird they even went through all that work, since anyone with a modern web browser and 15 minutes can just edit the markup of an email tumblr actually sent them:

they could have also faked a post from @/staff, which takes like 30 seconds, but might be more verifiable:

All of this is to say *stop trusting screensots* like stop. every time you see a screenshot, go check that it's source actually exists, and says the same thing as the screenshot. if someone sends you a screenshot of something that you can't verify, like an email, and you don't trust them enough to literally kiss them on the lips, take it with one of those 30lb bags of water softener salt.

[ID: poem text reading,

"We never guessed how much we'd miss the hot and sticky hugs and standing close enough to whisper. Glory of reach and grasp, nudge, nuzzle, spoon and squeeze.

I've heard the phenomenon is called skin starvation and it's the reason infants are laid naked on their mothers' breast the moment after birth. Because touch is how we greet one another in almost every language and say: you are here and I am with you and we are not alone.

I confess I've not yet learned how to translate the gorgeous shock of seeing you. Even from 6 feet, I wonder if you can feel the electricity of my skin, pining in its sweat song, so helpless and hungry: hello hello hello."

“I’m just, you know, kind of happy in the doing of things. Even just having a great cup of coffee is happiness. Getting an idea, or realizing an idea. Working on a painting…working on a piece of sculpture, working on a film. One thing I noticed is that many of us, we do what we call work for a goal. For a result. And in the doing, it’s not that much happiness. And yet that’s our life going by. If you’re transcending every day, building up that happiness, it eventually comes to: it doesn’t matter what your work is. You just get happy in the work. You get happy in the little things and the big things. And if the result isn’t what you dreamed of, it doesn’t kill you, if you enjoyed the doing of it. It’s important that we enjoy the doing of our life.”

— David Lynch

With the weather being so fickle in our area right now, I begged my wonderful boss for time off on a reportedly sunny day. Thankfully, she said yes! I went to my childhood home to visit my dad and take some glorious springtime photos. The orchard was in full bloom, the weather was perfect. I could not have asked for a more magical day. <3
