saying “you are a burden on society” is just such a weird framing of priorities It’s like saying “wow, think how much better gas mileage your car would get if you weren’t sitting in it” or “think how dry that umbrella would be if you weren’t holding it in between you and the rainstorm”. the things we create? they’re for us. they are meant to carry us. they are meant to protect us. we are meant to hold them up to keep us dry.

“useless eaters” is a fun concept with absolutely no historical precedent,

Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis)

The most familiar color-changing reptiles are Old World chameleons, so it’s not surprising that shade-switching Carolina or Green Anoles have earned the moniker “American Chameleons”. 

These small lizards, not closely related to real chameleons at all, change color between brown and green depending on their mood and habitat. Three different kinds of pigment cells—blue, yellow, and brown—control the Anole’s color. Quirks of genetics occasionally produce Anoles missing the blue or yellow pigment, resulting in rare yellow or blue individuals. 

Male Anoles use an extendible throat flap, called a dewlap, to communicate with each other, either to threaten rivals or impress mates. Excited males turn their green up to eleven, flash their red dewlaps, and raise cranial crests on the backs of their heads, escalating their displays to fierce battles if posturing isn’t enough to drive away the competition. photograph by David Hill on Flickr; CC

Look. Let me be a hater for a second. 'Higgledy piggledy' isn't just nonsense syllables! It means something! You can't just start a poem with it in imitation of the original poem when the meaning doesn't fit!

Ah, this was so cool to watch - the chrysalis-making. I sped the video up a bit but the whole process was quick, about five minutes. It reminds me of the baby in Eraserhead but also looks like an adorable dancing snot 😆 It is so crazy how much it moved! There are three chrysalises now (the two new ones also on leaves, so they will have to be moved as well once they are properly dried), and lots more eggs and mini cats. 🦋

So now they're saying I can only have one dose of morphine a day. I don't understand that. Either they believe I'm in pain or they don't, surely? They know it does not last 24 hours. it actually lasts a very long time for me - I'm only asking for one additional dose. Morning and evening. For most people it lasts 4-6 hours at best.

Wow it sure is easy to get the rest I need when my pain is controlled

[kelpforestdwellers]

Like. My body can just... relax. I don't have to spend hours doing yoga nidra and other such jedi mind tricks to float in a world beyond the pain. I can just put on relaxing sounds and half listen to an audiobook and snooze.

Accidentally reported you’ scam

(‘Accidentally reported you’ scam)

So it’s just another day on tumblr when a beloved mutual suddenly DMs you (or a random stranger) claiming that someone impersonated you and has scammed them out of (insert money amount here it changes often) be it art or crypto or because of content related to CP. They tell you they’ve accidentally reported you by mistake and that the only way to clear up this issue is to contact someone on discord,Microsoft teams, or a random email account. They even show a screenshot claiming your account was reported for fraudulent activity and action must be taken within 24hrs or else your blog will be terminated. You just need to contact the “official” report dispute discord account in a timely manner and clear everything up or contact the ‘official’ Microsoft teams account!

You panic! You don’t want to lose your blog so you immediately DM the discord account (or the Microsoft Teams account) who begins asking you questions before ultimately asking you to change your email address to theirs so they can ‘fix’ the flag on your account. All is well, and you assume that the false report is going to be cleared up…Right?

Unfortunately no. That’s not what happens.

You get locked out of your account and now the scammer logs in as you and starts to send the same message to anyone and everyone they find. The same message that now you accidentally reported the receiver and you need them to contact the same discord account to repeat the same process over and over again and you yourself seem to have no way of accessing your blog to stop the phishing. But don’t fear! You can fix this! Just contact the real support email and let them know you’ve been hacked and give them any information they may ask to confirm your the real owner of the blog.

Here are things to keep in mind:

- There is no official report dispute discord account ran by tumblr that isn’t a thing and has never been.

- Any discord account claiming to an official tumblr report dispute staff account is a scammer.

- You do not need to ever contact Discord for a tumblr related issue no matter how official the screenshot looks.

- This scam can affect anyone, even your friends. Keep them informed and if you can contact them offsite to let them know they’ve been hacked please do so they can get their account back faster.

- Reports are handled through the official tumblr tech support line and will never be through discord/Whatsapp/Microsoft Teams/etc. (Link is to tumblr help center)

- Support center is not: Gmail,yahoo,outlook,Microsoft teams,discord,etc.
