let love conquer your mind @forgottenliv - Tumblr Blog

hullo people of the internet

i started posting a new multichapter fic! it's about alef and samekh and their fucked up and evil friendship. and about valley. i love valley a normal amount

the fic's mostly funny and light-hearted but does touch on heavier topics from time to time, so mind the trigger and content warnings in the author's notes!

it sorta takes place in the same universe as and the thunder roars but not entirely + it can be read on its own. buuut if you're reading attr, you might bump into spoilers for chapters 15-18

anyway if you end up checking this out, comments are always appreciated! /gen :D

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

"the only difference between a cult and a religion is the scale"

NO. NO IT ISN'T. THIS IS WHAT THE CULTS WANT YOU TO THINK IT IS NOT TRUE. THERE ARE RELIGIONS THAT ARE NOT CULTS AND CULTS THAT ARE NOT RELIGIOUS AND YOU MUST LEARN THE DIFFERENCE

so if phm is set in 2032 and ryland grace is supposedly 29 when the hail mary launches, that means he is firmly within gen Z… he knows about undertale AUs and watched Fred on YouTube at like 9 years old. He had a tumblr blog. this genuinely explains everything

this-is-trans-joy

poor guy was around during the ace discourse days. i hope he was lethal with the block button

this-is-trans-joy

i want someone to make a roleplay blog but it’s literally just ryland grace’s actual blog and then the last post is like “guys oh my godddd never become important at work i’m so serious you’ll never fucking guess where they’re sending me #and during pride month???”

“what the fuck there’s some guy on my ship who the fuck— IS THAT MARKIPLIER????”

i've been phasing the phrase 'google it' out of my vocabulary and going back to 'look it up'. fuck you youve lost your generic trademark privileges

the most valueable skill a white leftist can ever learn is how to take an L with grace.

problemnyatic

You gotta be able to take an L if your moral and ethical belief systems are to be capable of guiding you. Otherwise you just have an idealized self where you get really mad and scared when anyone points out it isn't actually you. How the fuck are you gonna walk the walk if you can't handle being told when you are not, in fact, actually walking it

problemnyatic

you cannot just socially transition into being a good person you are going to have to settle for being a messy human being who has to try and fail and keep trying to get better like everyone else. yeah even when it's embarassing and sucks for you a lot.

livseses

Ya gotta learn to earnestly and honestly say "Oh shit, my bad."

And to then end the sentence there, not launch into a paragraph of explanation or panicked super-apology.

Happy Pride!

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

thesaltofcarthage

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.

Why Tumblr Has Rolled Out ID Verification

UK legislation: Online Safety Act 2023

Brazil legislation: Digital Statute For Children And Adolescents

Apple App Store Age Verification

These are not tumblr specific policies. Tumblr is implementing age verification in response to legislative moves that were made months ago.

Tumblr is a failing social media site that has escaped death multiple times already; they do not have the social cachet to defy state regulatory agencies. We know they won't say no to Apple, either--the porn ban on tumblr was in response to Apple's crackdown on explicit content.

If you did not know this was happening, you were behind the curve. That is fine. You're caught up now. The next step is to link up with people in your country who are working to preserve privacy, to roll back these laws where they exist, and to prevent their passage where they do not. In the US the organization you want is Stop KOSA--in the EU you can start with Fight Chat Control.

Repealing ID verification and blocking chat control will help everyone, especially the most vulnerable. We can push this back, but we cannot get it done through the Feedback form. We have to get it done at the legislative level and lock it down so it cannot be forced upon us. I see lots of anger out there. Good. Put it to use.

A doll youtuber I watch has made a video about the history of Polly Pocket, and she's describing the plots of the dvd specials, one of which features an elderly woman named Ms. Throckmorton, and my reaction was
