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.

One of the best things about being a writer is thinking of something small you can add to your work that’s just. Devastating. Like you’re sitting there going. Oh. That would be diabolical. People would get really riled up about that. Exquisite. Let’s do it.

[aromantic-journal]

"everyone should get more aromantic" can appeal to tumblr's sensibilities but I genuinely think everyone should also get more asexual. I don't mean everyone stop having sex, what I mean is

Sex is not essential. You can live without it. Full stop.

Not having sex isn't shameful or a sign of failure. It also doesn't make anyone boring.

You are not entitled to having sex with anybody and nobody is entitled to having sex with you.

Sex is not what makes someone an adult.

Nobody's worth is defined by how much sex they have or don't have.

Sex is not equally important to everyone.

You can have fulfilling and happy relationships without sex.

You should only have sex on your own terms, not because you feel like you owe it to someone, or because you feel like you'd be incomplete without it.

Know your boundaries around sex and be firm about them. Know how to respect other people's boundaries.

The previous point also applies when it comes to discussing sex. If someone doesn't wanna talk about it or hear about it you have to back down.

Anything can be sexual but not everything has to be sexual.

everyone's favorite water dragon, Raindrop!

design notes and miscellaneous Water + Raindrop doodles below the cut <3

Drop is a fish! obviously. but mostly just. fish-adjacent. gave em big fins instead of ears, a single horn w/ a circle indent (it could also be a raindrop indent, that would have been more thematic but I didn't think of it), and a fish tail. Raindrop doesn't have back legs (and I can't remember if the dragons in game do? I think they do), just a fish tail, mermaid style. Wings are big and flat for swimming over flying.

Teardrop markings and little droplet accessories to allude to the name, ofc. and finally: big wet eyes. I just think her eyes are so shiny. Sopping wet eyeballs.

I was very amused and charmed by tf!Water's slow freak out at the prospect of being a dad. Bro has never even seen one of those before. How are they supposed to know what to do? But, of course, like everything he does, as soon as he has to take care of this little creature (even if it freaks them out a little), he gives it his all. They're now responsible for another living thing, whether he likes it or not (he doesn't) ((he'll come around)).

I just think their dynamic (as I've watched so far) is very precious. Girldad and his weird wet dragon. Fear of water + water dragon = excellent duo. couldn't have chosen a better pair tbh /silly
