Dangerous ad going around on Tumblr ⚠️

For those who are unaware, there's been ads for a/i chat/bots going around on Tumblr. Specifically for "shapes.inc".

Obviously this is immediately worrying as chat/bots prey on low mental wellbeing, loneliness and someone's desire to interact, to then make them dependant and use their services more.

However, the ads themselves have stopped being quiet about that aspect. Here's one of the most worrying ads (aside the one that legitimately encourages users to make chat/bots of their friends' OCs without their consent, while also trying to claim that its "ethically sourced" - not telling us WHAT'S even sourced here - and therefore "guilt free".)

This is disgusting, plain and simple.

Not only is it directly preying on loneliness outright - it's encouraging a user to make a bot out of someone real without their consent. Not even a friend, no - a MUTUAL. It's encouraging parasocial dependency - just LOOK at what the "OP" is saying here: "RESPOND" "DID YOU DIE?" "PLEASE" "I MISS YOU".

It's not just encouraging parasocial behaviours nor just dependency overall, but encouraging users to breach the others' privacy just so they can pretend they're speaking to them.

Ads like this should not be allowed anywhere. Tumblr needs to get rid of it outright before someone gets hurt.

Also, the censoring is to avoid search exploit spambots. Thank you.

Can't believe we're here, but especially important for fandom accounts: DO NOT link your IRL, government ID to your fandom accounts! Not ever. Not for anything.

You will feel tempted by FOMO, you will feel bullied by Discord. You will be peer pressured to the ends of the earth. Do not do it. Do not allow them full access to you, and do not let them normalize this utter horseshit. We deserve anon spaces. We deserve the internet, it's ours.

Cancel Nitro and tell them this is why. Shit talk these assholes in public. Ridicule them. And do not budge an inch, do not let them have you.

"What's the point of shopping at Barnes & Noble because it's just a big chain and you're not helping anyone" it's because if Barnes & Noble goes out of business then traditional publishers will die with them and after a few years we'll run out of used books to keep passing around and Amazon will become the only option. Hope this helps 👍

As I've said before, you do not have to shop at Barnes & Noble if you do not want to. You do, however, have to stop shitting on people who choose to.

To be very clear: if Barnes & Noble dies, so will your precious indie bookstore

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)

✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈

[caz-the-yarncromancer]

And if you're in a bind and your search engine allows it (google does), filter image results by date. meaning "show only images before day xyz" (it's in the search tools). put in December 2021. no AI results

I offer this as nothing more or less than personal testimony, but the single best inoculation I’ve found against the doomerpill is Ecclesiastes. Not because it’s a feel good book or offers any particular comfort or assurances, if anything it does the opposite. But getting told “nothing matters, the world is corrupt and full of injustice, worldly pleasure is fleeting, humans are idiots who never learn (myself included), and the future is uncertain and frightening; now dust yourself off, appreciate your life and its simple pleasures, fear God, and try to live as rightly as you can” by a guy who lived 2000-odd years ago really beats you over the head with a sense of perspective. The troubles of our time are not exceptional. There is nothing new under the sun.

PLEASE YES Ecclesiastes was the book that helped me through a very disillusioned time in my life. A time where I was looking at all the political infighting and how life demands all these things from you that if you look at it objectively, don’t matter nearly as much as everyone else would like to make you think. And it makes you wonder what the point is of trying at all. And Ecclesiastes agrees with you on that. But it tells you at the end that God is the point of living, not everything else that is fleeting and falls away. So live your life as best as you can for the Lord. And if He blesses you, it’s ok t enjoy those blessings. Just never forget that the blessings are not the sole reason for living, it’s the One who grants them that is the most important.

[nerdemic]

For me, Ecclesiastes grabbed me when I read that even this wise man, Solomon, who had all he could ever want and the wisdom to utilize it said, “Sometimes I think the stillborn is better off than the living.”

I was just in a place where I wanted to be done. It wasn’t that I was suicidal but I kept feeling the desire to just stop or disappear - my grief was so large I just wanted to be in a pocket realm where I could just grieve in peace while the world kept going. And the Word managed to find a way to describe the awful void I was in and crossed the distance to get to me. The fact that the Bible, that God my Father, knew this would be a feeling His creation would have on this fallen earth and made sure that His word would reach out and touch my heart when I felt so alone and isolated is such a beautiful gift.

That’s why CS called Christianity a “manly” religion. It takes life as it is, not how we wish it was.

We need you to help us save a law that we've used to protect and recover endangered species like the wolverine and manatees over the past 50 years.

The Endangered Species Act is a wildly effective and widely popular law. But the Trump administration is trying to weaken the law in return for political support from extractive industries – sending American wildlife on a path to extinction.

Don’t let the Endangered Species Act be dismantled and public interest be denied. Take action today and speak up to defend U.S. wildlife.

Oppose any attempts to weaken the Endangered Species Act
