Nola is a Good Drawer

Nola/Poss, 33, nonbinary (she/her) I draw critters, monsters, and a lot of viddygame fanart. If you don’t want me following your blog, or if there's something you'd like me to tag for in the future, please let me know! (Blog contains some blood, gore, and body horror, as well as spooky monstery stuff in general.) Currently trying to recover from burnout. Don't use my art for AI stuff without my permission. NOTE: My inbox for this blog isn't working and I don't know why, or how to fix it. If you need to contact me, please use the askbox on my sideblog finalposs. Links and search are also broken because this garbage site is in disrepair, but you can find a list of the tags on the Categories page. Broken tag links with hyphens can be fixed by replacing each "-" with "%20" (minus the quotation marks). It is a very stupid workaround and I am sorry. Take care, and I hope you have a nice day! Just the Fanart ——— Original Stuff

Operation Olive Branch is a project to help Gaza families to safety. Egypt is charing displaced Palestinians to get into the borders unless they are an Egyptian citizen. These Palestinians can't afford food and water, let alone the thousands they are charing. Operation Olive Branch has posted a sheet with all the family's GoFundMes for those who are able to donate. If you cannot, please spread awareness to make sure these families get to safety!

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

kind of funny how they knew what the reaction of this would be so the first thing they're saying about it is: here's how to opt out

Indie Bundle for Abortion Funds: 1122 items for $10.00

As of today (July 8, 2022) there are five days left for this itch.io game bundle. (Copied from the page):

“In light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and threaten and remove access to abortions, creators from all across itch.io have contributed projects to this solidarity bundle.

100% of the proceeds from this bundle will go to the National Network for Abortion Fund's Collective Power Fund, which moves money directly to abortion funds across 20+ U.S. states, with a particular focus on the South and Midwest (where it is often most difficult to get access to abortions). NNAF’s partnerships with these abortion funds provide direct resources and funds to many of the people most impacted by Roe v. Wade, towards immediate action.

Supporting Abortion Funds in the South

Since we last posted about Texas’ abortion ban (SB8), there have been a number of abortion restriction related bills passed. Just this week both Florida and Kentucky passing bills with the latter banning abortions after 15 weeks effective July 1, 2022. Now more than ever, it’s important to local abortion funds in states imposing restrictions on reproductive rights, particularly given that these bans often cause the most harm for those who are low income and/or POC. 

If you have the means, we’ve put together a list of some funds for you to support: 

Alabama

Yellowhammer Fund

Alabama Cohosh Collaborative

Florida

Broward Women’s Emergency Fund

Tampa Bay Abortion Fund

Florida Access Network

Women’s Emergency Network

Kentucky

Kentucky Health Justice Network

A Fund, Inc

Oklahoma

Roe Fund

Texas

Frontera Fund

Jane’s Due Process

Texas Equal Access Fund

Lilith Fund

West Fund

Multi-State

Indigenous Women Rising

ARC Southeast (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina & Tennessee)
