[bunjywunjy]

[wraether]

[monstrousregiment2-deactivated2]

[kiunlo]

[yellow-cat]

i heard we were painting egg?

[rhube]

I love how this shows how real artists drawing a thing aren't just representing the thing, but showing you what THEY found beautiful in it.

[geodethecrow]

hope I'm not too late to paint egg! watercolors :)

[pipsqueaks-human-errors]

heres my egg

[queen-susans-revenge]

Love every single one of these eggs. No yeah of course it's still okay to write your vampire story or whatever, even if a thousand people have done it before you. Your art will still be uniquely yours and people will find something fresh in your perspective. Paint your egg.

Okay, so here’s the updated plans for fighting against youtube's new ai age policy and privacy violating rule (I believe in us!)

Plan 1. Black out and leave youtube/ youtube boycott (August 13 to the point where the policy is gone)

It’s a very simple plan, but this time we just leave until it’s fully reversed. That way YouTube doesn’t just ignore us and the original black out. We have to stand our ground and show them we aren’t going to give up. We have to last as long as possible and let their revenue drain until they concede or someone else comes in and makes another platform (that isn’t based on politics but the same ideas as the original YouTube)

Plus I would like to add some small extra things that will help with the blackout though. That being mass downloading YouTube content. Now this might be the easiest thing for certain people, but it’s something.

Mass downloading YouTube content can help in case there a couple of videos or channels you want to watch during the blackout.

(I use something called a ytdlp but there might be better options for you out there, there might even be built in ones in a web browser or two, just search around the place, you'll find it eventually)

Forget what I said about alternatives that block YouTube, avoid anything that even remotely connects to YouTube. If it connects to YouTube it still provides traffic and helps it out, we want to disconnect from it completely, don’t let it have a drop of traffic

Plan 2. Bugging the crap out of them.

Now since they have a mail box for us to use, that can be used for our advantage here. So here’s what we do, send them letters asking them to reverse the decision, that way they will be overwhelmed by letters that have to eventually give up. Now I don't want you guys to send out slurs, curses or whatever. I need you guys to be kind and critical. I want you to point everything wrong with this and why it is destined to fail and leave the company crumbling

In addition to these letters, if at all possible, I want you guys to include photos of comments made by other people (Twitter, tumblr, whatever) criticizing this and making it known that it’s not just you guys who are angry, but people all over too.

Now we can also include emails in this, but that might be harder than excepted, but in case you do want to send in a email, you can send it that way

I can't find any other way of sending them an email, but good to you if you do find it (though I would recommend a letter much more)

UPDATE, someone has pointed out that we should all send out our letters on a single day, Im taking around August 5th about a week before the thing actually rolls out and than maybe we’ll do another batch on the 8th just in case

Make sure you mass send a bunch of letters

WIP plan 3, legal bull

I wish I could say this plan was finished, but unfortunately, it is not at all. All we have to go for here to filing a complaint towards the FTC about this and or using what this user recommneds (though I can't fully say if it'll work or not)

This plan will be worked on as much as possible

I want everyone if they can to spread to outside of tumblr, talk about it on twitter, facebook, blusky, youtube itself, this plan has to spread to as much people as possible.

I believe we can do our best and shine a light through these horrible times, we can be light in the darkness that will help others shine a burn a hole in this horrible system of censorship

I believe in every last one of you, I believe you can do good and spread good, because in your hearts, you are good

If you have any other ideas, let me know, cause i know more minds are better than one.

Good luck!

sorry if i'm gonna be quiet for a while. my country recently introduced laws that make it so that in order to use social media to the fullest (not being able to view ns/fw content and in a few cases, not even having access to dms), i HAVE to give the sites my id/face scan.

it goes into effect july 25th. it'll probably effect here too, since this place allows mature content (tho not full on ns/fw)

i'm very distressed about it bc i might end up not even being able to talk to my internet friends. i don't really have any irl ones

if i have to disappear on most socials by then, you know why.

[sorrynopiforyou]

if you're in the uk like i am there IS a petition to sign on the official gov petitions website asking to consider repealing this law. it currently has almost 8k signatures and needs 10k in order for the government to even acknowledge it (and 100k for them to debate it)

idk if i can post it here but please... go sign it! and go write to your local mp if possible. they need to realize how dangerous this law is going to be for uk citizens online. it doesn't protect children, it's just privacy invading AND a huge security risk to boot

[sorrynopiforyou]

and if you are NOT in the uk, spread the word around! especially let any uk moots you know about it

[cosmiccatboyfriend]

Petition: Repeal the Online Safety Act

We want the Government to repeal the Online Safety act.

IF YOU ARE A BRITISH CITIZEN OR UK RESIDENT ONLY PLEASE CONSIDER SIGNING!!!

Hey so uhh i can't afford groceries or rent and im $55 in the hole rn so if anyone could help a cutie out i'd be super appreciative and love you forever and ever [Ko-fi]

[affectionatenouns]

I'm struggling again, not going to be able to make rent without a LOT of help. My job gave me basically no hours throughout all of February, and while I'm picking up a new job, I don't start that until after my rent is due. I only have a couple days, so I really need some help from whoever is able to. Links here: [PP] [Ko-fi]

[$0/$1500]

[affectionatenouns]

I hate having to make posts like these, but my job hasn't been giving me enough hours, and i won't be able to make rent this month without help. Any little bit helps and is greatly appreciated!

[PP link]

And here are some pics of Rosie for your troubles

[affectionatenouns]

So I don't wanna sound like pushy or anything but things are getting pretty dire. The way it's looking, not only will I not be able to make rent, but i also won't be able to buy groceries in the meantime. We REALLY need some help here 💙

We need about $450 to be able to make rent this month

[$0/$450]

Rent is coming up and we're still nearly $200 short. Please help a trans girl and her kitty stay housed?

merry christmas, remnants. i'm sorry i'm slow and behind on everything art-related. everything's been leaving me stuck lately to the point that i've been questioning my passion for drawing for months now, but i can still feel the spark there, imagining worlds and scenarios i'd love to draw. i'm just not sure anyone cares anymore. ik everyone's like "you can't focus on numbers, just concentrate on your own personal growth!!" and all that shit but what else is there when your goals are entirely dependent on numbers and making people smile? making people laugh was the whole reason i even got into posting my art online. i'm sorry again, mostly for being a downer on christmas, but that's got me feeling isolated, too. i hope next year will be better for everyone.

[affectionatenouns]

I honestly hoped I would never have to do this, but here i am.

I'm extremely strapped for cash and desperate. I really don't know how to even format a begging post so I'm kinda just shooting into the wind with this. I need to be able to pay for gas and a hotel for the next couple days, it's gonna total close to $500 and I'll take any help I can get. I don't really have anything to offer in return, I'm not like an artist or anything. Just sort of hoping for some generosity I guess.

$100 / $500

Thank you so much!!!!!

[moxwoll]

Your art is really pretty!! Man when I have money I'm going to buy so much art. What was the first thing you remember drawing and being proud of it or liking it? And what is you most favourite thing that you've created?

thank you so much, that's the kindest thing i've been told on here lmao

for what i was first proud of, it was probably this from 2017:

it's awful by my standards today but it was the first time i remember starting to understand shading the face and i remember that being super motivating at the time

my favourite is probably one of these:

just refs but they're riding a line between style and realism that i like currently

hope that's a decent answer and thank you again, really, i haven't had anyone talk nicely about my art outside of people i talk to every day for so long lmao

Please don't use the Patreon app on any iPhone. Apple is charging Patreon users an additional 30% fee.

Patreon is the main source of income for many creators and not everyone can afford an extra 30% on top of what they're already paying.

This is 100% corporate greed and it hurts all of us. If you can avoid using the iPhone Patreon please do so.

[riverfortune]

Hank Green made a video about this kind of thing! But yes, the TL;DW is subscribe to stuff using a browser if at all possible! Otherwise either you or the creator/company you're subscribing to is getting screwed over.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

hey what the fuck

[bigbigtruck]

Use the site, not the app!! Please!!

[haridraws]

For anyone who uses Patreon!

It's a new apple policy starting in November. Even on iPhone, 'pledging' from your browser, not the patreon app, should stop a big slice of your money going to apple instead of the creators you want to support.

Please be aware that the "opt-out" choice is just a way to try to appease people. But Tumblr has not been transparent about when has data been sold and shared with AI companies, and there are sources that confirm that data has already been shared before the toggle was even provided to users.

Also, it seems to include data they should not have been able to give under any circumstance, including that of deactivated blogs, private messages and conversations, stuff from private blogs, and so on.

Do not believe that "AI companies will honor the "opt-out request retroactively". Once they've got their hands on your data (and they have), they won't be "honoring" an opt-out option retroactively. There is no way to confirm or deny what data do they have: The fact they are completely opaque on what do they currently "own" and have, means that they can do whatever they want with it. How can you prove they have your data if they don't give everyone free access to see what they've stolen already?

So, yeah, opt out of data sharing, but be aware that this isn't stopping anyone from taking your data. They already have been taking it, before you were given that option. Go and go to Tumblr's Suppport and leave your Feedback on this (politely, but firmly- not everyone in the company is responsible for this.)

Finally: Opt out is not good under any circumstance. Deactivated people can't opt out. People who have lost their passwords can't opt out. People who can't access internet or computers can't opt out. People who had their content reposted can't opt out. Dead people can't opt out. When DeviantArt released their AI image generator, saying that it wasn't trained on people who didn't consent to it, it was proven it could easily replicate the styles of people who had passed away, as seen here. So, yeah. AI companies cannot be trusted to have any sort of respect for people's data and content, because this entire thing is just a data laundering scheme.

Please do reblog for awareness.
