we go together like hand lotion and doorknobs~ @plaiddingsbyplaidofplaidness - Tumblr Blog

apparently porn bots are now hacking into in-use accounts (I’m assuming larger accounts) and posting while the blog owner is still active.

holy fuck.

why are staff so incompetent

rather than fixing their obviously very flawed code and development, they’re deciding to ban tits? fucking tits?

that being said, although it’s so unlikely this will happen to me, please know that it’s not me posting these links and photos. Please dont click on the links.

oh my god.

Also, if it is happening to me or one of my side blogs, please let me know!

ironical-ghosty-reblogs

That might explain why one of the blogs I follow was suddenly posting other photos than nature photos?!

Hanniholidays Day 10: Holiday Sweater

Hannipenguin won’t be wearing his favourite red sweater this year cos of too many Christmas cookies

Pornhub’s entire business model revolves around stealing content made by sex workers without their consent and profiting off it with no compensation to the workers who generate the content they steal. Sex workers are an incredibly vulnerable and stigmatised class of workers, mostly women, mostly younger, mostly not rich, with little recourse, socially or legally, against a massive corporation like Pornhub.

Pornhub relies on this, on how little you care about sex workers, to maintain a business based on stealing their livelihoods. Stop applauding a corporation that literally exists to steal from marginalised workers just because they have a competent PR department.

Fucking thank you

jonpertwee

I’m not defending them but isn’t that true of all porn sites?

carnivalsofsilverfish

Yes.

This is going around again because Pornhub have apparently been billing themselves as an alternative to Tumblr for artists and sex workers and it was made originally because as they say, Pornhub has a very clever PR department (I’m thinking in particular of the snow plowing stunt last year) and people have a tendency to fall for it.

Pornhub pays 69 cents per 1k views while Youtube pays $7.60 for the same amount of traffic.

If someone steals your porn and uploads it, Pornhub requires that you doxx yourself to the uploader.

blackwoolncrown

^^^^ Yep! Said it before, will say it again, and have been needing to remind people pretty often because it apparently takes nothing for y'all to forget that corporations don’t care about you (since people have been all starry eyed about their new BFF Pornhub): THIS IS HOW IT WORKS: When a performer discovers their reuploaded content, they must file a DMCA req to get it pulled down. This involves two main parts. 1. Their formal statement is required to *prove* they are indeed the owner fo the content, and therefore have the right to state it was not intended for redistribution. 2. To prove this, they must submit their LEGAL NAME AND ADDRESS to the site. As part of DMCA law, the site retains the right to DISCLOSE OUR NAME AND ADDRESS to the uploader, as part of informing them who has made a claim against the upload. (Because of the frightening implications of giving my name and address to a porn site that can make the info available to a pirate, I have paid THOUSANDS in legal fees to incorporate in order to keep my info private. It was very expensive and absolutely not available to most performers, and for years I did not have this option available and had to continue doxxing myself to fucking pornsites) NOTE!!! At NO POINT are the uploaders asked to provide legal proof of clip ownership, nor are they required to submit their name and address. Sites NEVER ask pirates to prove anything is theirs aside perhaps from ticking a check box. Pirates are hard to fight because sites do next to nothing to discourage them. Why? Because they make their money off of traffic, and all income is good income to them. They don’t care. Be better than them. Tubesites are not friends to artists and fair warning, artists that think Pornhub will be a great place for them will find that out when their shit starts getting reposted.

From someone who’s survived MySpace, livejournal, deviantart, and fanfiction.nets’ content purges and bad policy updates, here’s some advice on how to get through tumblr’s recent bullshit:

- don’t knee jerk delete. I know it’s tempting to peace out immediately but hang on and do the other steps first. Out right ghosting and erasing everything is how fandoms die.

- archive everything on your blog you want to keep

- tell your followers how they can archive and keep your work too. A lot of fic and art were only saved from ff.net and lj because other people saved it first. If you’re cool with other people saving your work for them to personally keep, let them know this. You can absolutely discourage reposting but I really do highly recommend you allow people to personally save fic and art they like and are worried will disappear forever. Digital Dark Ages are a real thing.

- tell people where you’re jumping ship to. Give links. Keep that info up, even if you’ve left the site.

- go through who you follow and find out where else you can follow them. Save their work if they’ll allow it. It’s tedious as hell but if you want to keep up with people on here clicking on their page to check in is the best way to do it.

- support places like ao3. This is exactly why ao3 asks for donations a few times a year. They are a 100% anti-purging, judgement free, ad free non profit run by an elected board and protected by lawyers. Places like ao3 literally save fandom so please continue to support them and other similar archives. This is exactly why ao3 is so important.

but really porn is just the canary in the coal mine that our supposed general purpose computing devices are tightly controlled by a duopoly that makes Microsoft in the ‘90s look relaxed and open minded: Apple doesn’t want porn apps on its phones, so there are no porn apps on its phones; other apps can stay if they tithe 30%, but they’re on thin fucking ice.

you can leave Tumblr and go to another social network, but if that gets sufficiently popular it will face the same threat, there is no escape.

the last bastion of freedom is the open web, and I anticipate the day when mobile Safari blocks access to sites that aren’t signed by Apple, for security reasons.

the right to install whatever software you want on your own computer is a vital one, and we should be fighting for it.

Verizon is leaving the engine of internet culture to sputter and die, and its communities to scramble for a new home.

The Vox article that I was interviewed for is up and running, and it contains some serious fuckign information about this whole fiasco.

Information that tumblr just straight up refused to provide to its userbase at all.

Unsurprisingly to those of us watching this website deteriorate over the last year, this full content purge and ban has been in progress for a solid 6 months. The date got moved up because of the child porn thing, but it was always coming for us.

Equally unsurprising: Tumblr’s management and ownership are absolutely destroying the actual staff working on it. The company has been hemoragghing senior staff without so much as a token attempt to keep them in place. So the drops in site quality are real, and wil probably only be getting worse.

Truly astonishing is the fact that apparently this crap was supposed to “double” the userbase by the end of next year. Boy, howdy, that’s not gonna work out well for them.

A more succinct PSA for reblogging:

Currently, putting images in a reblog of a post, (especially a text post?) causes the reblog and any reblogs of it to NOT appear on a main blog page or public blog.

It will only appear in your dash view, or your own blog on the internal view while you are logged in.

Do not use reaction gifs if you want your posts to be locatable. This is not a drill.

Please reblog this so other people are aware of it!

elfwreck

So.. Tumblr may be considering removing images from public view.

Gentle reminder that Dreamwidth is open, and many wonderful fannish people are there and ready to have fun conversations.

lines-and-edges

Ironically, this reblog is de-listed* for having a link in it. So I’m going to signal boost it here.

*Not shadowbanned like images, it still appears on public pages and on the view you get when you click on someone’s name. But it doesn’t show in the notes feed. That seems to be what they’re doing with links vs. images.

Sabina’s 1013 Followers Giveaway!

Hey folks - I’ve been saying I’d do this for a while, and I can’t reasonably procrastinate any further XD; it doesn’t look like I’ll fall under 1K due to a mass unfollow any time soon, so here it is: a Giveaway Of Stuff to celebrate the unparalleled artistry and productivity of the Hannibal fandom community. Please don’t make me go on about how great y’all are and the times we’ve had: I’m no good at that, but assume it’s true. I <3 you all.

This is realistically the only time I’m doing this so there are four (4) choices:

* An unopened copy of RADIANCE (@lovecrimebooks) and associated postcard art. (NB: I swapped in my copy for the photo as otherwise it would have depicted only my shiny face reflected in the shrink wrap.)

* A copy of Feeding Hannibal: A Connoisseur’s Cookbook by Janice Poon.

* A sundry collection of Hannibal fan art - postcards, stickers, buttons, charms, etc. More stuff included as I find it. I would tag the lovely artists but my records are very iffy, sorry for that! Please tag yourselves in if you like!

* A 1000 word minimum story or essay by me, on a prompt of your choice.

The giveaway will run until August 15, 2018. On the 15th, I’ll draw a winner from the entries at random, contact that person, and they will have 24 hours to let me know which of the 4 prizes they prefer. Then I’ll choose a second winner who gets to choose among the 3 remaining prizes, and so on.

Rules behind the cut!

Keep reading

Feb 22: Slippy’s Birthday Rec-travaganza

Okay, I’ve been mulling it over after this morning’s post, and yes, this is what I want for my birthday. Yinz have one week. (Although, you know, I am not the boss of you or your calendar, feel free to start sooner or run past the 22nd, I’ve heard Birthday Week is a thing although I usually confine myself to a day.)

My birthday request from the fandom this year is recommendations for fandom things you love, or things you have made yourself that you are proud of.

So! On the 22nd, give or take, please post or send me some recs for Hannibal-related* fic or art or fanworks of your choice. Any kind, any rating, any ship, whatever. Old, new, anything. No rules per se, but a couple of requests:

1) It would be awesome if you would err on the side of including newer or less-talked-about folks that I might not already be familiar with.

2) If you do your own fic, art, whatever, please include at least one rec for a thing of your own. (Not required if you’re shy, but I really would like it.)

I can’t 100% promise to read/look at everything immediately depending how much there is, how busy I am, how much my government is turning into a trashfire causing my to spend my days protesting in the streets, and how active my brainweasels are. But I will try to make my way through everything sooner or later, and I will definitely do a round-up masterlist post linking to everything I’m sent.**

That’s it. Them’s the rules. Bring me some birthday joy to share with the fandom, buttercups. @ me into your posts or tag them #recsforslippy so I can find them, okay?

- Love, Slippy

*The birthday girl would like Hannibal stuff for this so it can be a gift for the fandom as well as a personal gift. But LBR, the authoress is also rolling around in a pile of YOI fic, will have Bucky Barnes feelings forever, and is just generally interested in whatever is well-written even if it’s not a fandom she goes to, so feel free to also send her other recs for things you like or things you have written/drawn, too. Shower me with distractions, darlings, the world is terrible.

**The birthday girl does reserve the right to leave things out of the masterlist or link but skip personally reading things, if they happen to hit her personal trigger/nope buttons. But she will try to use that right very sparingly. If you’re wondering whether something might be over her line, feel free to check in with her beforehand.

OK SO I REALLY debated putting up some of my school work, but with a nudge from another artist I decided I OUGHT TO! This was my final project for my publications class. One of the options was to design a book and since I’m an overachiever I chose to do an entire bookset. HANNIBAL.

The sleeve was laser engraved out of red touche paper. Since this was a publication class I also did the book jackets and some inside illustration/publication design which you can see {here} and {here}

Don’t turn swastikas into windows

problems with turning swastika graffiti into windows:

you know and I know and nazis know that it used to be a swastika

the police probably don’t know or care that it used to be a swastika so they’re not gonna do anything about it

it leaves the graffiti undocumented

it leaves the graffiti unreported

it doesn’t get the graffiti cleaned up

affected groups still have to see it and know that a swastika was there

instead:

take a picture of it

report it

make sure it’s documented

make sure it gets cleaned up

I’d much rather see no swastika graffiti than see a window and think “the police won’t care about this because some ‘ally’ thought they were helping”

themalkieway

Yes, thank you!! This is extremely unhelpful. Speaking as a Jew, it is far better for allies of local minority communities to TAKE A PICTURE of the graffiti and document it, then ASSIST US IN REPORTING it to the police. Covering up the swastika with other imagery means that POLICE CANNOT PROSECUTE the incident as a hate crime and it becomes very unlikely that the vandal(s) will be caught. It may make you feel ~warm and fluffy~, but our communities know exactly what’s under that Windows logo and it does not make us less angry or afraid. Moreover, it makes clean-up /so much harder/ and only further vandalizes the structure (which, let’s be honest, is usually a Jewish house of worship, organization, or a Jewish-owned business). PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS. PLEASE.
