Because I want to double check if it's a real thing because it had a "prove your not a robot" thing and the thing... Is this

Now, I use mobile and legit can't do these instructions, which I feel like would be a huge oversight for the actual tumblr staff to do. But also because it is telling me to do a bunch of commands that I don't know what they do normally, so I feel like it's someone trying to scam me

Thoughts on this?

SERIOUS WARNING TIME - DO NOT DO THIS!!!!

This is an update to the Verify Your Account Scam.

DO NOT COPY AND PASTE ANYTHING FROM A WEBSITE "CAPCHA" INTO POWERSHELL/TERMINAL AND PRESS ENTER.

If the scammers are now trying to get you to copy and paste things into Terminal/powershell aka the command prompt, they're trying to get you to run code you copied that you cannot see!

This will force your computer to download a "payload" which will automatically install and run malware on your machine, stealing your passwords, credit card information, or potentially infecting it with Ransomware and in the worst case of all, installing a RAT (random access trojan) which would allow hackers full access to your machine and it's extermely difficult to get rid of!

Please see this video by NTTS (No Text To Speech) about the dangers of this:

I think a fandom becomes more interesting when people are allowed to explore uncomfortable ideas instead of pretending they don't exist

Can't believe I haven't posted a new symmetrical print for over 6 months! What's going on??

Rocky finds out about Mercury thermometers and Grace expects him to be incredibly freaked out by it (he is) but what he doesn't know is that Rocky is now secretly figuring out a way to build Grace one using his own mercurial blood just so he can have a part of himself constantly with Grace/in his home

Rocky is freak, statement.

tired of cannibalism as a metaphor for love or sex. can we get into cannibalism as a metaphor for colonization.

[sloppity-bilepiper]

1. Europeans using Egyptian mummies as medicine

2. The Delectable Negro: Human Consumption and Homoeroticism Within US Slave Culture by Vincent Woodard

3. "Abolitionists turned the tables on Europeans by accusing them of being cannibals when they ate sugar tainted with the flesh and blood of slaves."

4. Zombies (which I would class as cannibals, since they were human and need to eat humans to live) have a root in Haitian folklore and represented enslavement.

[vintagedean]

adding that, if you can find it, cannibal culture by deborah root is about exactly this. the way the white western world is a hungry, destructive force that cannibalizes non-white cultures and creates wealth and status through the cannibal colonization of those cultures.

here's the intro

i almost think there's an essay in bell hooks' black looks about this too? yes! just checked, there's an essay called "eating the other"

new fanfic writer who has marked their work completed ao3 only to leave a note at the end saying: thanks for all the support guys if you want to read the rest of the fic subscribe to my patreon :)

me, an elder fandom veteran, suddenly having anne rice flashbacks:

no.

NO.

starting to rock back and fourth.

you do not understand.

you were born into an age of peace. i was there Gandalf. i was there three thousand years ago. i remember the cease and desists. i remember authors hunting fanfic writers for sport. i remember when every fic opened with a disclaimer because we genuinely thought it might protect us.

we do not charge money for the copyrighted gay wizard stories.

do not tempt fate youngling.

step away from the paywall.

that is how you summon the ancient evils.

that is how you wake the lawyers.

[odins-price]

Remember people, this is against AO3s terms of service. If you see a fic that does this REPORT THAT THING!!! These people may not know better or they might, but them doing this has the potential to ruin things for everyone.

[peppermintquartz]

Tell the writer to read the TOS. Writers absolutely CANNOT ask for payment in exchange for fanfic. If they won't take it down ASAP, report it to AO3.

my grandpa's family is from here and he wrote down some of his memories from growing up and one of them is that he used to take long walks around looking for plants and animals and stuff and one day he walked into a clearing where some fellows were making moonshine and he just sort of.. kept walking. and then he got home and he said "mama I saw some fellows out there making moonshine" and my great grandmother was like "no you didn't" and he, Very Autistic, was like "...but I did, I really did see it," and she made direct eye contact with him and very slowly said "no. you didn't. you didn't see that." and he was like OHHHHHHH right yeah I didn't see that.

my understanding is that that is still truly the best way to approach any weird shit that you see human beings doing in the woods

Hey so that was a great date, yeah, but I don't think it's going to work out. Nono you didn't do anything wrong, and I have indeed had a crush on you since we started high school, it's just... well, I didn't want to bring it up at the time but we kinda got sucked into a portal fantasy midway through. We saved the kingdom over and over, relying on our knowledge of and trust in each other every time, throwing ourselves into the firing line to protect each other and using each others' conviction as a rock. We got married and lived a happy life together until the portal sucked us back mid-battle and you gave up all your memories of our journey in order to save my life right when we ended up back in the coffee shop. Yeah that was when I got a bit weird and went to the bathroom.

Anyway I thought we could push on and make the date work but I have all of these memories of secrets that this you never chose to share, decisions that this you never made, and intimacies that this you never experienced. And it's kind of screwing with the vibe yeah. Also on the date it was really, blatantly clear that you're sixteen whereas I have memories of ruling a fantasy kingdom for thirty years so like... that's a problem all on its own. Anyway this you just feels more like a daughter to me. A daughter with the woman I gave my heart and soul to over and over and received like in return, only to lose her forever on the journey home. On the plus side I can definitely help you with your math homework now.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#what the fuck#this one was actually really very short why is it still like that what

The shorter it is, the more concentrated the what the fuck can be.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I can help you with your math homework because the fantasy world's magic system was based on calculus and I was a gifted mage, stop nitpicking.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#this world's magic system is also based in calculus

All day the stars watch from long ago my mother said I am going now when you are alone you will be all right whether or not you know you will know

look at the old house in the dawn rain all the flowers are forms of water the sun reminds them through a white cloud touches the patchwork spread on the hill the washed colors of the afterlife that lived there long before you were born see how they wake without a question even though the whole world is burning

Go ahead, make your OC the sibling/child/friend/whatever of an important canon character. Ship your OC with a canon character. Its fandom, its posts on social media/fanfic/fan art. Go for it, have fun, make up your own headcanons.

We're all just here to have fun.

@oyavaski​ i think the funniest part of this is you thinking that this is fake because.....some of us are the same age and we have normal tumblr names i guess lmao????

[handweavers]

[eldriitchmurmurs]

I know this is a tiny part of the wider problems born of diet culture, fatphobia, classicism, and racism but like god the idea that "healthy" food must inherently taste bad has completely ruined us as a society.

[lastoneout]

Every time you feel bad for having coffee with cream and sugar or ranch on your salad or putting extra butter and salt on your veggies I want you to imagine the spirit of John Harvey Kellogg in front of you and then I want you to kill him with a real gun and eat your delicious food in peace.

there's a really funny 3d printing controversy going on btw.

if you don't know, there's a very popular 3d printing model out there called "benchy". this is used for benchmarking your 3d printer because it's a difficult print and will help test it out.

this is so widely used that people make their own little versions of it, remixing the 3d model to make benchy look cooler and stuff. however, a new company owns the benchy license. they are sending copyright takedowns to all those who wrongfully uploaded the benchy model.

of course, this is pissing off the 3d printing community greatly. everyone loved benchy and have used it for years. so someone on reddit decided to make a new model that is designed as a 3d printing stress test. one that works a lot like benchy, and people are freely able to edit it as they please. you know what they called it?

boaty.
