Hawaiʻi is currently in the midst of a natural disaster if you didnt know

Apparently there isn’t much news coverage of this outside of the islands

Towns are flooded, homes destroyed and collapsed, roads collapsed, lives at risk, gas leaks from the flood damage

Haleiwa and Waialua are currently evacuated because the 120 year old dam is at risk of bursting

Mind you that damn is owned by Dole. Theyve known about it needing to be fixed for years and years and years. Despite having more than enough money they refuse

The state has been trying to buy it out from them for years so they can fix it, but the sale hasn’t gone through

Keep in mind that the Dole family were the ones who illegally imprisoned Queen Liliuʻokalani and illegally overthrew the monarchy.

If I see another goddamn person say how sad this is for the tourists whose “trips were ruined” and compare a messed up vacation to people losing their homes, belongings, and livelihoods, I’m going to lose my mind

I am so lucky that my family or friend’s are safe and the few whose houses flooded didnt have it too bad, but so so so many were not as fortunate

If you haven’t heard anything about this until now, I suggest looking into it

The sirens didn’t go off until the flood had been going on for hours. Our state government is spending so much money on a fucking monorail we don’t need rather than fixing the infrastructure.

It’s been the locals and Kanaka doing the most to help get people to safety from the start

I don’t really know how to end this

I just need to know people are aware

I need to know people are seeing whats happening

Thousands evacuated as Hawaii faces worst flooding in 20 years

"Don't take this storm lightly," Hawaii Governor Josh Green warned on Saturday, as more rain is expected on Oahu and Maui.

F2U character sheet templates

A friend of mine was having trouble making reference sheets for her characters, so I made quite a few!

I figure these could be really useful if anyone else was struggling too, so these are all F2U

They could be really useful for Artfight, so keep that in mind :)

[pillowspace]

Btw if anyone's using that youraislopbores.me site, you have to frequently refresh the queue because I think what's happening is that the second someone's request pops up, somebody else is immediately taking it. Which is why the queue is empty every time you look at it. You have to swoop in like a bird. Anyway, sushi

[roughentumble]

my friend just told me that there's a secret second dashboard that solely contains posts from people you've turned on post notifications for, and when i click the link in the messages it opens it within the tumblr app, so the tumblr app also has a secret second dashboard for post notification blogs, and the only way to access it is to open the link for it within the app.

i literally love tumblr

[nightpool]

i have a private pinned post that just has a link to this dashboard on it, it's great. two dashboards for life

[cyle]

wow! i was really hoping someone would organically reverse-engineer this and find that dash.

here are a few other "secret" dashboards:

Posts from your "crushes"

"What you missed" (will be empty if you already visit Tumblr every day)

"Trending"

these are all just taking existing feeds of content and putting them in a dashboard-like format... the "Stuff for you" tab/feed is the same idea.

I swear if the link in the original post is a virus I'll be so upset.

[ruimtetijd]

nope! i hovered over the link and this popped up on the bottom of the browser. here's all the links in order:

https://www.tumblr.com/timeline/blog_subscriptions

https://www.tumblr.com/timeline/crushes

https://www.tumblr.com/timeline/what_you_missed

https://www.tumblr.com/timeline/trending

https://www.tumblr.com/timeline/for_you

For fucks sake Tumblr, tell people about the features of your broken ass website.

[thequeenofsastiel]

Nah, if they did that more people would want to use it and we can't have that

Be careful of the double-speak in the Update Post.

Staff has officially posted an update regarding the reblog decoupling, and while they are reversing the change for now, we need to look closely at the language they are using. This is a classic example of corporate "double speak" designed to de-escalate a PR crisis while keeping the door open for the same harmful features later.

The Post: Reblog Update: We’re Reversing the Change

The Red Flag:

"We still believe there's a better version of how reblogs can work. One that gives every voice in a chain the credit it deserves. But we want to get there with you."

The Breakdown: When they say they want to give every voice the credit it deserves, they are still justifying the decoupling of notes. They are framing the destruction of the original creator's attribution as a feature for the rebloggers or the loss of community. Their goal hasn't changed. They just realized their current execution was a technical and social disaster.

They also mention working "directly with some of you." This often means selecting a small, curated group of "power users" who may not prioritize the accessibility or safety needs that we have been fighting for.

Viral Hell & The Power of the Call to Arms

To my friends and followers: my condolences for going viral are accepted. I love you. Let’s look at the numbers. My original post on this has cleared 24,000 notes. This is exactly why a Call to Arms was necessary. When we first saw the decoupling, we saw the immediate theft of credit.

In my case, over 10,000 notes were stolen or hidden by the uncoupling before I even realized the extent of the damage. This isn't just a UI preference. It is the systematic erasing of a creator’s reach and legacy.

Why we cannot stop now:

Staff’s reversal is a tactical retreat, not a surrender. Their language proves they still intend to push for a version of decoupling in the future. We forced their hand because:

The volume of feedback was undeniable. 24k notes on a single advocacy post is a massive indicator of user dissatisfaction.

Emails and Support Tickets work. They specifically cited emails as a reason for the reversal.

Public pressure creates friction. By making this a PR nightmare on Bluesky and X, we made the cost of the update too high for them to maintain.

The Mission Moving Forward:

We have won the first battle, but the Double Speak in their post tells us the war isn't over. They are going to try to rebrand a change like this in a few weeks or months.

Keep the pressure on: Continue to reblog your concerns when they surface.

Stay Vocal: They are betting on us getting tired and going back to business as usual. We need to show them that our safety and our creative credit are non-negotiable. Continue to voice concerns when they surface.

We’ve seen that we can move the needle. Let's make sure they don't try to move it back when they think we aren't looking.

[kiefbowl]

I love when people are like “I can’t believe you reblogged that despite their user name, icon, bio, and last twenty posts” bc to me my dash is the only part of this website and I’m not slowing down to look at urls you could all be the same person

[twisted-little-fairy-story]

#spiritual successor is people being like why didnt you read my pinned before you reblogged!!!#dude i am not. i am not vetting every blog#i am here to backread for 45mins and rb 30 posts in a row and disappear#tumblr life

[gardensnakie]

i love being unaware of the time, why be tortured by the amount of time it takes for something to end, ouuughh 24 mins left, ouh its 23, ooh 22- forget about it!! heh out of sight out of mind amrite- why is the sun already setting, wait why is it rising

[breezybunnii]

Decided to try my hand at the frieren trend

[breezybunnii]

I just found out that supernatural is being taken off Netflix. We ride at dawn.

[tariah23]

Oh…. Well, it’s over for Crunchyroll I guess

[studentofetherium]

it gets worse: funi had an option to buy anime outright. but, it was bought digitally, and now CR has said that they're not going to honor that, so if you bought anything from funi digitally, CR are taking that away from you

[lastoneout]

This is absolutely insane but the part that I find funny is that there isn't a community on earth more dedicated to piracy than western anime fans. For ages the only way to even get your hands on anime and manga in the west was piracy. I literally don't think Crunchyroll could have picked a worse group to try the "we're a monopoly so we can charge you whatever we want" play on. I doubt there's a person over the age of 25 who saw that and thought anything other than "welp, okay, piracy it is then!" like honestly the Crunchyroll executives are out of their fucking minds with this one.

[scifigrl47]

What I think a lot of new fans miss is that... there used to be rules.

I have now run anime cons for 20 years. I got into anime in the period where the internet was rising, and legal access to this stuff was sparse, and generally limited to the biggest titles. I bought Fruits Basket on four. Separate. DVDs. I got each ON SALE for around 20.00. I paid EIGHTY PLUS DOLLARS for 4 DVDs of Fruits Basket.

But most of my early access was on blank DVDs with names and episode numbers written clumsily in sharpie. Handed over by friends, traded at con meetings, mailed to me by a friend via media mail. Fansubs and bootlegs, torrented and copied endlessly.

But there used those be a rule. A covenant. Unbreakable. Once a property was licensed, all illegal distribution stopped. Instantly.

The last episode of Fullmetal Alchemist I saw involved Hughes in a phone booth. The series was licensed right after that, and all access stopped. Fansubbers closed their listings, torrents dried up.

Because the end goal was licensing. We wanted nice, physical copies. We wanted professional, properly coded subtitles. We wanted an English Dub cast. We wanted to make anime a viable industry in the West.

So we bought Fruits Basket for eighty goddamn dollars.

So as I reach bitterly for my DVD burner yet again, it's time to remember. We upheld our part of the bargain. We bought it legally from them. We paid to see this industry grow and thrive.

We didn't break the agreement. They did.

Child siffrin au

The King has been defeated, the party's in the woods, working on how to get siffrin home (they still do know where he's from, they're pretty much just headed in the direction of where they found him rn. They're trying,ok? Anyways) and one of them asks if they're going the right way, to siffrin's response being something along the lines of "I can leave here" and Mira says "but there's no shelter or other people around. We're not just gonna leave you alone in the woods." This confuses siffrin, who has been assuming they were going to do exactly that for at least two months. "I find a cave, maybe." isa says "no, sif, we're not just leaving you in a random cave. We're taking you home. Is something wrong there?" Siffrin, still confused, "I am home. I don't have a house. I live in woods." Odlie, "do you know where your adults would be?" Siffrin, "I don't have any. I'm by me." Cue lots of concern, and lots of discussion on what to do that basically just ends as siffrin will stay with the party and can choose who they stay with at the end of the journey.

Sorry if anythings weird, I just woke up. This came to me in a dream. Also I'm for some reason struggling with Bonnie

As always feel free to ask any questions you want about the au so I can think about it more

[insertdisc5]

Wait what do you mean ISAT is already two years old.

Thank you so much for your support?!? It’s kinda bonkers honestly.

To celebrate, have TWO plushies: Odile and Bonnie!!! Wow!!!!

They are available for a limited time on Makeship, so don’t wait!

In case you missed it, the Siffrin 2.0 plushie is also back on Makeship! It’ll be here for a little bit longer. I’ll be sure to let you know once we get closer to the end of this campaign in a couple months. If Siffrin 2.0 continues selling well, another previous plushie will take their place! (Probably Loop lol)

I also have a tiny surprise… Here it is.

That’s right. That’s the development log for START AGAIN: a prologue, the prototype for In Stars and Time! And it’s now public, free for you to read!

You see, when I was making START AGAIN, I kept it somewhat secret, but I wanted to share my progress with close friends… So I made a blog just for it. It’s more about the programming/game design side of things, so if you like reading behind-the-scenes stuff, I hope this will make you happy.

And, in case you’re wondering what comes next in insertdisc5 land… I’ve been developing a whole new game. It’s Truth Scrapper, a romance/mystery visual novel about memories and also pronouns. Maybe you could give it a wishlist, if it strikes your fancy.

Thank you so much for your support. See you next time.

[kingpagie]

Yo, Isafrin enjoyers. You got any fic recommendations? I've been starved of good reading.
