not to be a negative nancy but even if the fact that cn players uniting with other global players is true, like if by some miracle things “go back to normal” and valko comes back, i don’t want anyone to forget the blatant racism black/dark-skinned players faced when he came out.

i don’t want that to be swept under the rug because that was such a ridiculous situation for so many fans to get caught in the crossfire of other player’s hatred. as a black person i want my other black players to keep their peace and do whatever they need to feel safe.

In the Year of the Horse, let us all truly appreciate what this mythical creature has done for surrealist memes. I don’t think there is another animal that has inspired such unhinged internet images. We should all be both eternally grateful and forever afraid.

not my tweet but I thought it would be a good psa for artists here too

Oh this is a common scam I find at work. Any file that:

isn't jpg, jpeg, pdf, or png

Is a file extension you don't recognise (this one is a visual basic file, used for scripting, but others like exe or bat are used)

has a very low or unexpected file size (this one's is less than 1KB, or 0.001MB, a good reference should be at least 500KB)

Is likely a scam. Stay safe kids.

I've said so on bsky about this, but it's worth saying here:

Scammers will use pressure, panic, over-payment, and rigidity* to try and get their scam to work.

A REAL honest to goodness client will work with you, show at least some modicum of patience, and be flexible. So if you are provided a link or file you don't absolutely trust, you can ask for a different file type, or request the reference via a different method.

*What I mean by rigidity is that they'll INSIST they cannot use a different payment method. they'll INSIST they only have that one reference. They'll INSIST to overpay you. They'll be very rigid in what they want you to follow because they need you to do things a certain way for the scam to work.

You guys have my whole heart for sharing this I had no idea will be filling this out and encourage all my fellow brits to do soo too. If you’re not from the UK please keep sharing this around we have till the 26th May to submit these in.

This whole thing was set up without our say we all need to make sure we’re heard.

A tip for filling it in - ignore section 1, sections 2 onwards are the meat and potatoes.

Beware! There is a snitch question at the start of the VPNs section, asking how 'children' are getting age stuff without using VPNs. You don't know anything, and if you do, no you don't.

I would focus on data security issues, the fact age verification doesn't work anyway to protect children - I was pushing particularly to switch to credit card verification, since it's more private, can be easily severed if compromised, and you need to be 18 to have one - it's not perfect, but I think they're more likely to give on the issue if we provide an alternative.

Push economic issues for banning/age-gating VPNs - that's the one thing that tends to get governments to back down.

Good luck. Let's hope we can make a dent in this.

Lunch but make it matchy matchy 🦐💥

Our researchers are often captivated by the beauty of deep-sea jellies, like this dazzling fireworks jelly (Halitrephes maasi) with its brightly colored tentacle tips. This species of hydromedusa is typically seen around 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) deep in Monterey Bay during the summer. Its bell can reach up to 10 centimeters (four inches) wide.

These jellyfish are carnivores, feeding on plankton, zooplankton, small fish, and crustaceans like the shrimp you see in this video clip. They use stinging tentacles to capture and immobilize their prey.

Why Tumblr Has Rolled Out ID Verification

UK legislation: Online Safety Act 2023

Brazil legislation: Digital Statute For Children And Adolescents

Apple App Store Age Verification

These are not tumblr specific policies. Tumblr is implementing age verification in response to legislative moves that were made months ago.

Tumblr is a failing social media site that has escaped death multiple times already; they do not have the social cachet to defy state regulatory agencies. We know they won't say no to Apple, either--the porn ban on tumblr was in response to Apple's crackdown on explicit content.

If you did not know this was happening, you were behind the curve. That is fine. You're caught up now. The next step is to link up with people in your country who are working to preserve privacy, to roll back these laws where they exist, and to prevent their passage where they do not. In the US the organization you want is Stop KOSA--in the EU you can start with Fight Chat Control.

Repealing ID verification and blocking chat control will help everyone, especially the most vulnerable. We can push this back, but we cannot get it done through the Feedback form. We have to get it done at the legislative level and lock it down so it cannot be forced upon us. I see lots of anger out there. Good. Put it to use.
