PSA: Scam pretending to be Tumblr staff.

TLDR: Don't them any of your shit, Report on sight.

Almost immediately after making an original post I was tagged on the post below, I've seen a few other users talking about these posts and my brother was tagged twice by two different similar blogs at the same time

At first, I thought I had gotten in trouble for reporting someone (who harassed me irl) multiple times, but I quickly noted a few suspicious things:

The account name being only random numbers

Tagging on a post made minutes before and blank blog when tumblr can email/send official notifications/etc. with multiple other people? when they're claiming it's a me problem?

"Suspicious activity" and " Several complaints from users about your recent posts" I've barely been on tumblr lately and I kinda doubt my friends and mutuals would report me for that

The whole thing is very vague and confusing, and it looks like it's trying so hard to look official and just missing the mark

The provided 'help' link has a typo in it. I didn't click the link but it says it does not lead to the tumblr help page

calling attention to the automated system because people already know how bad it is so they'll go along with it (same with the age verification)

"it's Very Safe™ we promise, with a cherry on top!"

And a myriad of other things but I'm tired and just want to post this

Reblog to spread the word and keep others from falling for it, tell your friends and mutuals. Stay safe <3

Free service with ads: Well, if I'm not paying for it they have to foot the bill somehow.

Paid service with no ads: Well, if they're not funding it with ad revenue, they need to charge us something.

Paid service with ads: Well that's bullshit.

i ❤ fact checking bold unsourced claims

I like how looking for this post on your blog makes it look like you spent 3 hours checking whether or not apples are a type of fruit

i made a post like this before but I can't find it now. so. I'll just redo it.

What's the first "big news story" you remember from when you were a kid?

It's something I love to ask mixed-aged groups sometimes because I think it's really interesting to see the responses. I've gotten answers from the Olympics of [whatever year] to Watergate to more recent stuff from my niblings.

My first news thing I remember is the OJ Simpson trial. I vaguely remember watching the news with my grandparents before that, but that's the first story I remember, in part because my second grade teacher had us go play so she could watch the verdict 😂

It's called the Global Justice Report, it is here. This is an actionable plan which can be sent to legislators and demanded of political parties. We could save the world within our lifetimes.

It has always been possible. It is still possible.

hi this drives me crazy

canon is what happens in the text. e.g. merlin tries to poison morgana

a headcanon is a fact that you have personally made up as an elaboration of canon. it is your invention. e.g. i think morgana and gwen had a teenage lesbian situationship before the events of canon. or, i think modern morgana would love evanesence.

an interpretation is how one reads the existing text. it is not an invented fact nor is it a headcanon, it is a reading. e.g. i think merlin tries to poison morgana out of misplaced self-hatred. or, i think that one line was delivered with suppressed malice and shows a nuanced relationship.

fanon is the general fandom’s accepted headcanons and interpretations that elaborate or recontextualize canon. e.g. merlin is a badass waif and morgana is a bitch.

these are all different words with different meanings.

[pawberri]

If youre a closeted person somewhere out there thinking "I want to transition but it would be less progressive/unique/countercultural for me to be that gender instead of this one" please know that you are a real person not a character in a narrative and cant live your life based on what is good media representation. You are real you can only be yourself and theres no moral weight to any identity over another

let's be sure we ignore the literal words from Tolkien's own mouth too...

I have the hatred of apartheid in my bones; and most of all I detest the segregation or separation of Language and Literature. I do not care
