In light of recent events, I have begun submitting bug reports when I see mature content labels applied inappropriately to posts, especially if an appeal has been rejected.

[a-kind-of-merry-war]

Extremely good idea - how are you doing it? Through the contact us option?

[stjohnstarling]

Yeah it’s one of the options on the Contact Support form:

[sharas-bae]

for what it's worth: after a few months of submitting help tickets as 'feedback' when i saw a post inappropriately flagged as mature, i tried following this suggestion instead. today i got my first-ever response from tumblr support on this issue, letting me know that a post i'd submitted a ticket before has had its mature content flag removed.

[stjohnstarling]

Hey it worked! Maybe if enough of us make a stink they’ll fix the fucking system.

[edupunkbitch]

This is legitimately brilliant. Bug burndown reports (the rate at which your software team can close bugs) is a major metric for most software houses.

It takes an extra step in our part, but this is part of what makes it effective. It's not one click, one reblog activism and it hits them where they care: their damn KPIs.

Unethical polyamory not in the sense that the partners aren't consenting to multiple relationships but in the sense that they kill people as a group

[robotslenderman]

OK so I put this in the tags of a reblog but I'm making it its own post:

So at some point last year I took a thermos full of soup into work. I only ate half of it, screwed the lid on, then took it home. I forgot about it, then four days later realised OH FUCKING SHIT I HAVE A SCIENCE EXPERIMENT IN THERE. Just before I went to work I unscrewed the top.

In the meantime, the bacteria had built up enough gas that when I unscrewed it enough, it fucking exploded. Old, rotting soup all over me. I reeked. I was late for work because I had to wash myself and change my clothes. I smelled like vomit.

In the book, Rocky is apparently under about twenty nine (or maybe 28?) times the amount of pressure that Earth is. (I say "apparently" because in the book Grace is somehow living at 0.4atm and Rocky has no way of knowing that he's under less than standard pressure when he tells Grace how many atms he lives under, but the book goes on to act as if Eridians do live under 29atms and not 0.4*29 atms. So I'm just going with that.)

Rocky also sends Grace the Blip-B. We know that it's full of ammonia because he accidentally gases Grace, lmao.

Like I thought it SHOULD have exploded, but now I've written the above out, Rocky must have known the pressure of gases within the Hail Mary already when he sent the Blip-B across and depressurised it before he sealed it, but can you imagine what would have happened if he didn't? If Dr Ryland "IT'S A BOMB!" Grace unscrewed the top of that thing and it nearly decapitated him as it rocketed upwards and punched a hole in his ceiling, and 29 atmospheres of ammonia at double the temperature of boiling (in one standard atmosphere!) came EXPLODING out?

I need an AU where this fuck up happened and Grace somehow survives and thinks an alien tried to gas/bomb him and Rocky is like SHIT SHIT SHIT BAD BAD BAD

[nikoisme]

scrapped painting,, thought i might as well post it

[nikoisme]

i want to put my thoughts behind this: this was supposed to be a piece for pride month, titled "you were loved". the sky is the color of the aroace flag (just upside down)!

basically, i wanted to show an aroace person — an old aroace person, to be precise. being aroace myself, i am always told that i will forever be lonely and miserable if i don't get a partner. so showing grace, who is aroace to me, as old and happy and fulfilled and oh so loved by his best friend, was really important to me <3

Baldur's Gate 3 (2023) dev. Larian Studios Meeting the main companions

[voiddragoncat]

In Project Hail Mary (the book) there’s a bit where Stratt is being sued for pirating literally everything ever

And I’ve seen lots of posts about how she pulls out the “I can do what I want” paper, but I wanted to highlight some other things about the scene that I found absolutely hilarious:

She’s actively working on something else on her tablet as the trial is beginning.

She doesn’t have a lawyer or anything. It’s just her alone at the defense table

She immediately and continuously requests to end the trial so she can leave (and interrupts both the Plaintiff and the Judge to do so)

After being denied a few times, she just gets up and leaves anyway. When they try to stop her she’s just like “I literally have the entire US army under my command, you have no way to make me stay here.”

Grace isn’t even IN this scene. Every other “past” scene so far has been Grace remembering something from his own life, but I think they threw this one in as a Just For Stratt Special™️

reading about Glenda fumbling a baddie was extremely satisfying, unfortunately sometimes she was a little relatable (ok maybe just one time)

Antidepressant recalled over potential cancer-causing substance

A popular antidepressant is being recalled because it may contain elevated levels of a cancer-causing substance.

Click the link! The drug treats several things, including fibromyalgia.

[merps]

Article date: June 14, 2026

Drug name: Duloxetine delayed-release (generic for Cymbalta) -- 30mg, 60mg

Manufacturer: Towa Pharmaceutical

Recall alerts say the impacted medication may contain more than the recommended limit of N-nitroso-duloxetine, which belongs to a class of compounds classified as probable carcinogens for humans.  “These impurities may increase the risk of cancer if people are exposed to them above acceptable levels over long periods of time,” an alert from the California State Board of Pharmacy explains. There have been no reported adverse effects reported in connection with the recalled prescription medication. ... This recall is classified as a Class II recall, meaning exposure to the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, according to the FDA.

This is a voluntary recall, the article links to FDA files for it but it's not listed yet on the FDA recalls page.
