Prequel Drabbles:

First Impressions

Coffee Equals Friendship

Tattoos

(Y/n) has a thing for tattoos. Alfie doesn’t know what to do with that information.

For Fun

(Y/n) wants to dance. Maybe Alfie agrees because of the half-empty bottle of rum in his hand or maybe because he’s right on the edge of falling in love. 

Pretty

Looking Too Closely

Avoiding someone goes well until they inevitably find you.

Tactics

Another party, another excuse to accidentally flirt.

Endings and Beginnings

The film is forgotten and Alfie is, once again, left dumbstruck.

Sweet Dreams

To Alfie’s horror and Tommy’s amusement, the end of (y/n)’s relationship with Michael allows his imagination to run riot.

Drunk. Again

Alfie is drunk. Again. Tommy’s patience has worn thin. 

Healing

(Y/n) isn’t sleeping. Alfie prescribes hugs.

Personal

Doing Nothing, With You

Daylight

Cuddles between friends are allowed, right?

Time

Stranger Still

Alfie loves (y/n). She loves Alfie. Somehow the words never translate.

Original Fic:

Lover

One precisely placed word and some not so gentle persuasion from Tommy changes everything.

Sequel:

A Keeper

it's important for non Indigenous people to note that over 50%, yes OVER HALF of the population of the northwest territories are First Nations, Métis, and Inuit being displaced from their ancestral territory due to these fires. the climate crisis is inherently linked to colonialism, never forget this.

I AM SO FUCKING TIRED OF THIS AI SCRAPING BULLSHIT, STOP IT YOU MOTHERFUCKERS.

[fictiveflowers]

What!!!?!?!????!?!?? No way, is this reall because if so I need to know!! All my stuff goes on Google docs, for most of us that's what we use to share and edit like WTF

[lucy-ashton]

@27fanficlilies and others…

This is the exact reason why I don't write stuff on cloud-based softwares like Google (Google Docs) or Microsoft Office (Word online) or even Pages (iOS/Apple). Everything typed on them is analysed by a computer (especially during grammar correction and/or translation) and then used for the company's own purpose (nowadays AI training).

ALWAYS write on third-party softwares or apps if you like to write on your phone (like I do). As for sharing your work with others, first, turn it into a PDF file (pdf can easily be edited too these days) and only then share it through Google Drive or OneDrive.

Helpful tips: Using Word is actually alright as long as it isn't its online version. If you have the software installed on your PC, use this version rather than the one running through the Internet.

Here are also some writing apps I use(d) to write on my phone:

Werdsmith

Grammarly (works also on PC)

Ulysses Mobile (works also on PC if I remember well)

‼️MISINFORMATION‼️

Google is not *currently* scraping data from Google docs to train their writing AI. More information on what it's doing can be found here -https://www.laptopmag.com/features/google-docs-ai-is-it-safe-im-a-novel-writer-and-tech-journalist-lets-talk

Google Docs AI: Is it safe? I’m a novel writer and tech journalist — let’s talk

I moved my book out of Google Docs — Don’t let AI steal your work

You should still consider moving your stuff because that may change, but as of posting Google is not training Bard on documents hosted in their cloud servers.

Also, Grammerly is *literally* an AI- powered writer and is *absolutely* is training their stuff on your work so run screaming from that @lucy-ashton

Grammarly’s Generative AI Feature Will Soon Be Able To Write, Interpret And Edit Text

The feature, which will be rolled out in April, will automatically be available across apps and websites such as Medium, LinkedIn, Microsoft

[arinrowan]

One thing the AI ‘writing’ discourse is showing is just how many people think all being an author entails is sitting in front of a computer and typing nonstop.

fresh, clean no-terf version for reblogs!

Your mom and aunts aren’t on tumblr.  Please warn them about this as well.

[Image description: Two smartphone screenshots of a Facebook post by a person named Sheila Toll posted 2 Sep. It is black text on a white background and the post is public. The post reads:

I am a Family Doctor and I want to keep a promise made to a patient. 

Julie was a healthy, post-menopausal woman in my care who came in for a periodic health examination. One of my routine questions, in what is called the “Review of Systems”, was to ask if she had experienced any vaginal bleeding. 

She said “No” but then laughed and added, “Other than when my period came back for a few months last year”. 

All health care professional are taught early on that ‘vaginal bleeding in a post-menopausal woman is Cancer of the Uterus until proven otherwise’. This comment by Julie was, therefore, a red flag (no pun intended) prompting further questions, an examination and an ultrasound of her pelvis. 

Julie was surprised to see me so concerned, especially since the symptoms had not recurred over many months. 

Sure enough, a pelvic ultrasound and tissue sampling confirmed Cancer of the Uterus. 

Julie underwent a hysterectomy and radiation therapy. She is now healthy, cancer-free and is expected to stay that way. 

After all this was done, Julie sat ME down for a talk. She told me she’d had no idea a ‘short return’ of her period after menopause was a danger signal. Furthermore, she addressed the topic with friends over coffee and discovered that, out of 20 women, NONE of them knew this symptom was abnormal! She admonished me to “Tell women this! Don’t assume we know it!”

From that day on, I have kept Julie’s advice in mind when talking with post-menopausal patients. But recently my wife suggested that I should take this to a wider audience. 

So, Julie, this is for you: 

If you are a post-menopausal woman and your period ‘comes back’ or you have even one episode of vaginal bleeding, TELL A HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL and insist on having it investigated! 

Wishing you all good health and long lives. End image description.]

“oh they’re not taking away chronological dashboard, well everything’s okay then” they also said in the post they’re making reblogs collapsed (like comments on twitter) so you won’t see the full conversation in a post. they also won’t get rid of tumblr live despite it being an annoying and cancerous data-miner that isn’t legal in much of the world. they won’t even let you opt out of tumblr live for more than seven days. they implemented a terrible photo viewer that mimics tiktok and makes it so you can’t zoom in on images. they took away the ability to view prev tags. they’re making it so you have to sign in with your email to view almost any thing on tumblr. they’ve already made it so you have to sign in to send asks, even on anon. they’re slowly phasing out custom blog themes.

the things that make tumblr at all usable and favored by us– the older web blog features, the anonymity– that is still being taken away. it HAS been being taken away for some time now. i am urging you people to reveiwbomb the tumblr app. force them to acknowledge that users do not like these changes.

[astraltrickster]

Let me stress: Collapsing reblogs would turn tumblr into a completely different site.

A massive chunk of our site culture - arguably our entire site culture itself - is based on the collaborative nature of posts. The fact that many posts are chains of relevant additions or Bits done by multiple people is the appeal. This is not an “outdated format” or an inconvenience, it is a core function.

Also I can’t help but suspect that this partial walkback is misleading. Okay, so we still get to have a chronological dashboard, but are we going to be allowed to keep it as our default tab? Because new accounts sure fucking can’t set as such.

Reblog chains are literally what makes tumblr posts tumblr posts

hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate

BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard (under My Filters) to get rid of it!

youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0) youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, []) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

“Let us put it generally: if a regime is immoral, its citizens are free from all obligations to it.” – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Gulag Archipelago.

[Pictured: Captain Pia Klemp sitting in a chair beside her controls.

@VivianAngrisani on Twitter wrote on 6/8/2019: “Pia Klemp, a German biologist & boat captain faces 20 yrs in prison for rescuing 1,000+ migrants at risk of drowning whilst crossing the Mediterranean. Seeking asylum is a human right. Only 1 in 100 sea captains are female. This woman is a humanitarian, not a criminal. #FreePia”

@Galactic_Rabbit quote-tweeted on 6/10/2019 and wrote: “Thinking about all those videos of people honored in their old age for hiding/protecting Jewish people.”]

[joanofarchetype]

To all the people commenting that she’s an accessory to “illegal immigration,” note that seeking asylum is a human right. Countries which refuse asylum are in violation of the Geneva Convention. They get away with this and propagandize complacency towards the victims by using bureaucracy to complicate immigration proceedings. During times of genocide, this is tantamount to hearing a would-be murder victim knocking on your door and locking the deadbolt.

People who risk dying getting smuggled across borders do so out of sheer desperation because the situation they’re leaving is worse. Finally, you are missing the entire point: violation of the law is warranted when the laws violate human rights and criminalize existence. Laws which call immigrants “illegal” are tools of a systemic negligence designed to condemn those who need legal protection the most.

[joanofarchetype]

Oh and here’s the petition to #FreePia.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Hiding Jewish people or smuggling them out of Germany was illegal too.

[pinejaysong]

as of 10 february 2023, the petition is still just short of its goal of 500k signatures.

When it comes to textured hair there’s many styles, here some I’ve seen at powwows. Braided locs have to be my favorite style so far 💖

Reminder braids are not a universal hairstyle between tribes! I’m coming from the perspective of Great Plains tribes. I just thought I might share what braided hair means to my community and people. I see people trying to make ocs or redesigns of characters who are native but don’t actually represent us too good. Reminder to always research a tribe before making a character learn their protocols and at least try to learn something new! 🌸💖🍇

I just wanna say I love our hair! It means so much to us please take care of it🥺💖
