I think I'm calling it quits on Tumblr proper. There isn't anything in my feed anymore that I don't see elsewhere, so it's kind of just...redundant.
So yeah, think it's time to finally close this forever-tab on my browser.

I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF
This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.
Then bring me luck
the day after I posted this last time I was notified that I was selected for a really cool mentorship gig and got an unrelated glowing review at work
I have a job interview tomorrow. I can't risk it.
I can't let this pass without reblogging it. I'm so sorry.
Back so soon?
Dear diary,
It’s an Earthpony legend: In ancient times, ponies would find themselves in combat with forces they needed desperately to overcome but couldn’t. Something just…astronomically important to them. Beating a warlord bent on taking their homes or families. Or revenge on a foe that had caused great harm and was sure to cause more if they were not stopped. Or some sort of familial obligation or honor or quest for revenge. The motivation wasn’t important, just the personal need to kill the other creature, and a genuine willingness to give up one’s own life to do it, but that being an impossibility because the target side, for whatever reason, is unbeatable. Too strong or too far away or possessive of too much protection, something that just makes them impossible to approach in a fair fight to the death.
If such things exist.
The story says, if the need is genuine, if the willingness to trade ones’ life for the target is real, if the only barrier between this goal and execution is that the target itself is in a different level of power you would never be able to touch normally, the Cheshire may seek you out and steal your target away through time. He brings the target to the halls of Naglfar and steers the great ship back in time to an earlier point in your life, before this need existed. Before you were so dedicated to its destruction. The ship anchors offshore, visible only to your past self, and you have one week to board it. Fail to,and the target is returned through time to the point in the future it was taken from, presumably to continue to wreak whatever havoc it was causing that made you so determined to kill it to begin with. Untouchable.
But if you -do- board, you will face the target in the hold-crypt and the Cheshire will diminish them to the point that they are your physical equal. He will make it “a fair fight.” And you, the past you, the you who has no idea who they are looking at or what this person has done, will have the opportunity to fight them one on one, until only one is standing. Kill them, and they never return to the future. They are removed from time at the exact point the Cheshire took them and interred in Naglfar and your life continues. You leave the ship, and, presumably, the future world is spared the tyranny of whatever it was you killed. They still exist, somewhere, in the time of your past. They will still do all the things that made you want to destroy them to begin with. But at the point you were willing to give up everything to put them in the ground you will, in effect, do exactly that.
But it was the failure that always got me. You’d think that if you failed, you died too. Well it’s true, you can have that outcome. But you don’t -need- to. You can elect to yield, and beg the Cheshire to return you to your own time. And you get sent back, knowing that your one chance to end..whatever that was..is gone. You live. It lives. And at some point in the future you will meet, you will want to trade everything to eliminate them, and nothing will come to help you. Your chance is gone.
Which, when I was a young huffy mare of days gone by, always struck me as a pretty silly drawback. I mean that’s what most people in impossible situations are stuck with -anyway-. At least this person was given the chance. It’s actually a rather generous offer.
But there is a sad, twisted manipulation to it all, on reflection. If you lose, and you are sent back, there is a consuming dread in your life that was absent before. Who -was- that. What could they have possibly done? What sort of person are you, to have wanted that outcome so badly that a magical being from equestria-knows-where pulled you through time to give you a shot at killing? What if that person, whoever it was, goes on to destroy everything you’ve ever loved, and you just have to…wait…and watch it happen? Is it inevitable? Can you find them first? Can you change your path, increase your power, follow rumors and guesses and signs and portents and destroy who knows what to track that foe down and end them -before- they become whatever it was you have no hope of beating? What if your unwillingness to actually fight to the death brings about the deaths of dozens, or hundreds of others? How many tragic events will you witness in your lifetime wondering “was that it? Was that the one I had the chance to stop?” before the shame of it all destroys you? Do you become the monster to fight it?
Would death have been better?
Cirocco and I grew up with troubling firelight stories.
I love life. I celebrate life. I have faced creatures out to kill me numerous times and never wished death on any of them. Defeat, certainly. Maybe even debilitation. But Azl sits in a prison cell when I know from a literal view into his mind that he would have eagerly ripped me apart. Malachite’s mother left me in the snow for over a month, and her child is like a sister to me. Moon took over one of my best friends and tried to take over Equestria with him. She’s up there right now, fine, so far as I know. Forgiven. By both of us, no less.
I’m not a hateful being.
I didn’t think myself capable of it.
I have a week, as of today. A week, to figure out what has gone wrong, and why the ship with black sails sits on my horizon.
derpiboro, along with allowing art theft, if not outright encouraging it, allows racism, pedophilia, the inner circle encourages drawing rape scenes of other peoples ocs without their permission because its an expression of their fetishes, allows harassment of artists when they join to try to get their art removed, and will in fact ban the artist and only remove their name credit from the art. a certain staff member is a self admitted pedophile, says cartoons, even of real children, dont count
I thought this was about nazis, and now it’s all about this?
This is why I never used Derpi (Despite a lot of my art ending up there. Huh.)
SO. This is the story as I understand it.
Wootmaster went to the Atlantic to call out the Brony fandom for having a secret Nazi underground (Aryanne pics). The story spreads to other low-tier news sites like the New York Post. People in the fandom mostly on Twitter begin lobbying for Derpi to do something about the Nazi imagery on the booru, so Derpi makes a rule change to disallow content with Nazi iconography - but not retroactively.
This riles up the anti-censorship/”Aryanne is not endorsing Nazism” crowd. A shitstorm ensues in the Site Policy board, and a bunch of artists begin a DNP campaign to forbid their art from being uploaded by anyone else but them (and some, to outright pull their art entirely). Derpi mods see this, and revert the rule change, because the initial rule change was made almost unilaterally without much if any consultation with the other mods. Some temporarily step down because of the initial chaos the first rule change created, while others rally behind Parasprite and accept them as the “face” of Derpibooru.
This cheeses off a few people: one, the original people from Twitter who wanted the Nazi content purged from Derpi, and two, people upset with the Mod team making these rules with zero community input. The Twitter crowd begins their own DNP campaign, explicitly to have all their art pulled from the Booru, and apparently begins plans to have Derpi de-platformed by trying to get their webhost and Patreon to kick them to the curb for “promoting Nazi ideology.”
At this point in time Blossomforth (site admin) apparently tells the mod team to sit down and shut the fuck up and unilaterally changes the rules again to re-ban Nazi iconography, as well as content that promotes Communism, Stalinism, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and anything else under the umbrella of Hate Speech (stuff which was forbidden under the umbrella of Rule #0 already). Parasprite, who for all intentions was supposed to be the Site Admin, is left completely out of the loop of this, the apparent strife this act causes amongst the mod team causing them to physically pass out due to the stress of it all.
We are now here at this point. There’s mods putting in their resignation over how Derpi handled this mess, from not communicating with the other mods to the staggering lack of transparency to the community.
And there’s still people pissed off that Aryanne content is on Derpi.
Do note that this is only according to my understanding of the issue. I am bound to have some things wrong. But this is the general gist as I am aware.
I did another thing.
This time it’s a proper tribute vid to the show, however.
I made a thing.
Good practice for another thing.
Pls be enjoy ♥
(Finale Spoilers, btw)
Uhhhh
Did the new Overlords of Tumblr decide to allow NSFW again or something? Is that why I’m seeing so many old NSFW blogs rising from the grave?
LMAOOOO I WAS RIGHT
PAY UP Ko-fi.com/notglacier
I was literally just about to make a post that says “Anyone else notice that Tumblr hasn’t really done anything positive with the adult content change? Porn is still being posted, very regularly, porn bots are still rampant, the auto-flagging system is still flagging completely harmless pictures while leaving actual porn completely unflagged for months.”
After the background color change I’m 100% certain there really wasn’t an issue. They just don’t want to do Tumblr anymore. But they can’t just bail outright. So they’re saying to themselves, “what can we do to make people leave voluntarily so we can finally trash this thing.”
Hey, I think FracturedLoyalty might be hacked and/or have a virus. It just posted a picture of a girl with the caption "Alexis (15 photos)" that links to some random site.
Yeah, the issue of them getting into the account has been fixed, but I didn’t notice they loaded up the queue with a fuckton of posts. And of course, Tumblr being Tumblr, there’s no way for me to mass delete the queue. I’d have to go through and manually delete all 220+ posts that are queued up.
Tumblr is getting a facelift
Some time ago we took a long, hard look at how we stacked up to the recommendations outlined in the Web Accessibility Initiative of the World Wide Web Consortium. This is the initiative that sets standards for accessibility for people who may need assistance using the internet. It outlines steps to take and tools to use to create as seamless of an experience online as possible, whether you have auditory, visual, or neurological disabilities, are using a limited device, are on a slow connection with limited bandwidth, or…well, a whole bunch of other reasons.
The result of that long, hard look? Not great. We needed to make sure Tumblr was accessible to anyone who wants to use it.
Over the past few weeks we’ve been making changes to do just that. Our inaccessible menus are more accessible, we fixed our poorly described elements, and increased overall readability. You can read more about all that in our most recent @javascript post about the mobile web.
Part of making Tumblr more accessible involved upping the color contrast in our UI, most notably on the dashboard and everywhere else that familiar blue touches. The light grays and muted blues had a contrast ratio of 2.02:1. What does that mean? Bad. It was bad, and we needed to do better by people with visual impairments.
Enter your new dashboard:
It looks…cleaner, doesn’t it? Like someone dusted off the poorly accessible bits. The blue is darker, the grays are lighter, all the buttons and icons are brighter with our new brand colors, and it has a contrast ratio of 7.87:1 What does that mean? Good! Very good.
The switch to your brand new, higher contrast, less dusty dashboard has been slowly rolling out this week. If you haven’t seen it yet, you’ll get it sometime in the next few days.
A note: We know that this color change on the dashboard negatively impacts the beautiful bluespace art so many of you have created over the past few years. Seeing these older posts lose the utilization of the dashboard—something that made them so special and unique to just Tumblr—is certainly not a great feeling. There’s no way around that. We hope, however, that this change only means newer, more bluespace art will be created, and that this time around it will be easier for everyone to experience.
Goodbye, #36465D. You’ve treated many of us well, but #001935 will treat every single one of us even better.
“There’s no way around that.”
Yeah, there is. It’s called having an option to switch back to the old colorscheme.
But I guess this is the age of “this is our product and you will use it how we want you to, no excuses.”
My God, it’s full of Stars(hips).

NO WE NEED TO EXPLORE
So the internet is back, at least for now.
I haven’t really used it for anything other than Monster Hunter today, though.
I’m kind of in a… place.
I just went through a week of like, literal hell, and I’m still adjusting to the knowledge that most of my town is gone and 100% of the town I did all my shopping at is also gone.
Knowing that I can’t just get in my car and go get Taco Bell, McDonalds, Burger King, Jack in the Box, Little Caesars, Round Table, or even go grocery shopping at my favorite place which always stocks Neuro Sonics
Because all of them are burned to the ground
That’s hitting me pretty hard right now
I’ve been opening Photoshop occasionally to draw some Titty Vixen, but I’m like… I’m not doing so hot.
At the very least, I’m comfortable right now.
It’s raining, the sound of rain is relaxing.
I’ve got a new comforter I bought for that freezing basement I was staying in and it keeps me plenty warm and will serve me well in these coming winter months
And I got one of those pillows that never gets hot so it’s always comfy
But like, man
This fire’s really life changing for me.
When the roads open back up, we’ll have to drive 40 minutes to Chico to go shopping when we need it
And until those roads open, it’s 2.5 hours to drive to Chico because we gotta take the back-road.
Like, man.
Thanksgiving today is basically just me saying I’m glad I’m alive right now and my family is safe and comfortable
That’s something to be thankful for at least
Bruh, no one expects you to go right back to Normality after all the shit you went through.
Take some personal time. Come to terms with everything. We’ll all be here when you come back.
Do what’s best for you, not us.
I guess this is really the best I can get New Vegas to look, considering it’s age.
I do wish the Dynamic Shadows from Enhanced Shaders...popped? A bit more? That or I’m missing something that puts proper shadows on the whole wasteland (example: my character is casting a shadow, but the rock right next to them is not).
