What do you mean “chat” is now referring to ChatGPT and not twitch chat? What? What? What the fuck? No?
When I address chat I am speaking to a presumed Greek chorus of real human people shitposting on their lunch break, not a machine that devours lakes to covert electricity into slop.
About the YouTube AI age verification thing in the US:
Here is a link for another post detailing a boycott plan on the 13th of August. And if you think that it's not gonna be that bad...
IT WILL AFFECT YOU, TOO.
If you watch:
Gameplays and gaming-related videos, for example Minecraft, Undertale/Deltarune, The Sims 4, GTA/Minecraft roleplaying videos, mod videos (even if the mod is 18+), Genshin Impact and other gachas, horror games no matter the rating
Unboxing of Pokémon/Magic The Gathering/any other type of playing cards
Table Top Games, including watching TTRPG campaigns
Slime tutorials, probably (yeah, both kinds)
Essays/Commentary/Theories about IP for children, like cartoons/anime - Gravity Falls, Winx Club, Monster High, Pokémon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh, My Little Pony, Miraculous Ladybug, Spongebob Squarepants, and the like
Anything about Doll Customizing, including ball-jointed dolls, Blythe dolls, OOAK projects, and anything similar
Cosplay videos, probably
Videos about collectibles like Labubu, Funko Pop, plushies, and similar
Videos and YT podcasts about Anime, like Trash Taste and Mother's Basement
VTubing, most likely, given the nature of animated avatars
And maybe, Draw With Me/Art tutorials of all kinds
There is a chance that the AI will target your account, EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT FROM THE USA, and flag it as an underage account because of your watching habits. Therefore, requiring you to provide your identification or photo to YouTube in order to continue using their services normally and not have your account deleted.
And here is the kicker: IF YOU DON'T and continue to use the service disregarding your account's newly found underage classification, THEY WILL CONTROL WHAT YOU CAN WATCH EVEN MORE. They are banking on you being too tired to fight this, and just accepting it as the new normal.
This is a blatant ploy to monitor the people and gather massive amounts of data to sell to governments, plural. If it works without too much of a hiccup in the US (and in the UK as well, since over there it's affecting every online service), other countries will follow suit.
If you are in the US, you have to fight this.
They've already come for Steam and Itch as a way of controlling self-expression and speech. This is yet another tool of censorship. And it WILL affect all of us, globally, eventually, because the internet serves a lot more people than the US and the UK, and the rules are applied mostly equally.
Share the boycott plan. Tell your friends and family about it. It will affect them, too.
Remember yall
Share the plan beyond just tumblr
Other sites should know as well
@our-trans-punk-experience
thank you comrade
punks, rebels, and cd collectors - share this information as far as you can. I know to share anything outside of tumblr is to be known, and to be known is mortifying I know but your comfort zone can stretch a little to accomodate this
people do not know enough about this. aid them. truly, we all stand together
KEEP YELLING AT YOUTUBE!
GO TO THEIR CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE!
GO TO THEIR TWITTER AND YELL AT THEM!
Don't let up! Make them scared! If we must we all leave Youtube on the 13th and don't agree to come back until they remove that stupid a.i. thing.
YOUTUBE DOESN'T GET TO CONTROL WHAT WE WATCH!
If YouTube thinks they can control what we watch, then they can go kiss cow shit
truly from the bottom of my heart i hate the level of enshittification etsy has reached because it's still the best place to buy patterns for my hobby and every time i go scrolling through endless ai-generated bullshit to finally dig up a human-designed pattern i like, i'm hit with a deluge of 'popular!! 563 people are looking at this right now!! it's in 134632 baskets!! you must buy immediately!!!' it's a pdf file. it's a fucking pdf file. do you get off on trying to give people fomo over a fucking pdf file. fuck off. get diarrhea forever.
and that's not even touching the ai-generated patterns with hundreds of 5-star bot reviews that are stupidly easy to spot if you know what to look for. but most beginners don't know what to look for, so they're straight-up scammed into buying based on a nice picture. then their 'hey, i made this and it looks nothing like advertised' comments get buried under hundreds of 5-star bot reviews, and this is how someone who might have otherwise discovered an interesting and fulfilling hobby drops it, thinking the pattern's fine, everyone else likes it, so it's on them for not being good enough. it pisses me off so much, you have no idea.
anyway, here's some shops selling amigurumi (crochet soft toys) patterns fully created by crafters. i've either bought and made patterns from them or saved them for later, meaning i already checked that they aren't ai-generated. i might make a post later on how to spot ai-generated amigurumi patterns, but i wanted to give these a shout-out. go buy from them if you can, it's cool stuff and an interesting skill to learn.
straw animals design (etsy store) plushies and accessories, including some knitted patterns. beginner friendly!
green frog crochet (website store). mostly doll patterns, very pretty and totally worth the time and effort. they also sell full kits for some of the patterns, that include all supplies except for crochet hooks and fiberfill. also, youtube channel with tutorials.
moonlight crochet (etsy store). mostly doll patterns, lots of clothes you can adapt to dolls of similar sizes
yan schenkel (website store for individual patterns) has several books out that i really love. it took a bit of digging to figure out if this online store selling the pdf versions is legit and i found that the publisher sells directly through them. there are three pattern books (1, 2, 3) with animal plushies.
natura crochet (website store) has colorful animal and holiday themed patterns, plus two books of aquatic themed patterns. same publisher/seller as above.
hanichan (website store) has a distinct and minimalist style that i think is very beginner friendly. there are also useful general tutorials for amigurumi.
aquariwool crochet (etsy store). a lot of colorful and fun animal patterns. i haven't bought anything from them yet but i have a few saved and honestly just looking through the patterns makes me happy.
make me roar (website store). one of the more unique styles i've seen out there, especially these.
jo handmade design (etsy store). both plushies and more realistic toys, the patterns are very well written and illustrated.
whenever possible i linked to a store outside etsy, but not all pattern creators have one, so it's 100% worth checking them out and supporting them despite the absolute tar pit they operate in. also whatever creative hobby you're curious about, don't let an ai-generated picture discourage you from trying it. you are a god capable of summoning something out of nothing and generative ai is a pathetic little string of mathematical operations with ideas above its station.
I AM GOING TO SCREAM AND SCREAM AND SCREAM to the heavens until everyone knows about the Etsy competitor goimagine!!!
Shop Handmade | Shop Local | Shop with Purpose
The founder of GoImagine refuses to go public or sell the platform: NO SHARE HOLDERS TO APPEASE!!
They have a STRICT vetting process for sellers: NO BOTS, NO AI, NO DROP SHIPPING, HAND MADE CRAFTS ONLY!!
You can narrow down stores you're shopping from by STATE! EASILY SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES!!
2% of every sale transaction is donated to charity!!!
This is baked into the platform. Right now they're partnered with four different charities to fight childhood hunger, provide relief childcare for families dealing with domestic violence, end childhood homelessness, and fund art accessablity. HELPING KIDS!!!!
I have a shop there that I will be stocking soon! If you're a creator, their basic ship front is FREE and you get 12 listing slots! The next size up is only $5 a month and you get 200 listings, and the topn you're at $15 gives you 1,000 product listings and a whole ass customizable store front website. That's cheaper than anything else on the market rn.
Current downsides that will not remain downsides: they're only available in the USA but they're planning on expanding into Canada soon. And they've been mostly focused on growing their seller side, so not a lot of buyers know about them yet. But!!! That why I tell everyone I can! Shop with them! List your products with them! Use a platform that has a dedicated mission for community good and is there to support sustainable creator markets, not create endless bloated corporate growth!!!!
And dump Etsy yesterday.
Canada has MavenFair which doesn't quite do as much on the charity side but it does have the "free bunch of listings at the lowest tier" thing. Anyways if you wanna say screw Etsy, it's an option for Canadians. (And I look forward to goimagine being available here.)
https://mavenfair.ca/
also gonna shout out nichet crochet (website store) for delightful crochet patterns (and premade critters). possums, raccoons, rats, and skunks, with silly modifications (I made a clown possum last month)

Reminder that you can block most ads on Android. yes, including youtube ads.
Steps: Download Firefox -> Install uBlock Origin extension.
That's literally it. Enjoy ad free web browsing while we still (barely) have it!
Note: this works for browsing done in the Firefox app. It won't block ads in, for example, the youtube app. BUT, if you use Firefox to access youtube.com, congrats, no ads!
edit: also you can play youtube videos with the screen off/while using other apps. Just click three-dots -> Extensions -> Extensions Manager -> Video Background Play Fix
↑↑↑ reblog this version pls 😘
Also, if you prefer using the app, there's stuff like revanced and other patched APKs for Android . Revanced also has support for patching out ads from Tumblr APKs, which has been a lifesaver for me . Removing those weird autoplaying dashboard ads is so fucking worth it

(deciduous) tree leaves change color in the fall because they are tiny little factories being shutdown and scraped for parts. the tree has made an evolutionary bet that the amount of energy required to maintain its food factories (leaves) through the (freezing, increasingly dark) winter is just not worth the investment--better to shut it down and hibernate instead.
but before a tree can shed its leaves, it needs to break down and reabsorb that valuable valuable chlorophyll, to reuse in the spring. this removes the green pigmentation, allowing the yellow/orange pigments (carotenoids) that are usually hidden to shine through!
so next time you see a majestic sight like this:
please know these trees are cannibalizing their own extremities ♥
your ligaments
damn girl, your ligaments
*slurps up ligaments like they're noodles*
Pixie: do you ever think about how in fall we celebrate the beauty in death and yet death is still a societal taboo

What if it bites me and it dies?
that means you’re poisonous. jesus christ, nate, learn to read.
What if it bites itself and I die?
It’s voodoo.
What if it bites me and someone else dies?
That’s correlation, not causation.
what if we bite each other and neither of us die
that’s kinky
oh my god
I FOUND THE POST
seeking solace
i have a story idea that i am about to explain poorly to you so buckle up
the main character (mc), after a long day of work, completes their bedtime routine and goes to sleep as one does. in their sleep, they have a dream about some unknown but humanlike figure, who tells them that, in the dream, they can go wherever they would like for the night (magic go brr) and stay there until they wake up. for the first few nights, the mc lists places like an amusement park or a library or a theatre, and these dreams happen consistently every night, spaced out only by the day time and work.
one day, after a particularly hard shift, the mc goes to bed and meets with the unknown figure, per usual, and asks for the figure to take them home. the mc believes that "home" would simply just be their current house, but in a cleaner state - no work was needed to be done, the place perfect, spotless, etc. however, the figure takes them to an open field, or their childhood home where their parents are waiting with dinner, or to one of their old classrooms with their old friends who have long since fallen out of touch with them. the mc, confused at first, asks the figure "this isnt what i meant by home" or says "i dont understand, this isnt my home," depending on the setting, and will ask for the figure to take them specifically to their current house but cleaner, for example, to which the figure replies, "i cannot do that, you are only allowed one choice of destination per night. try again tomorrow."
since they can't go anywhere else, they stay in whatever setting the figure places them in. these dreams at best make mc very happy and definitely feeling safe and at home. at worst, they become nightmares as events in the setting turn sour, leaving mc terrified or crying when they wake up, knowing that if they fall back asleep, they will still be in that situation in that dream, as they cannot change it once it is set for the night.
each "home" changes as mc requests for it every night (like i said, there can be a variety of "homes" anyone can go to). noticing the changes, they ask the unknown figure, "why does my home change every night that i ask to go home?" the figure will have an elaborate response that all biols down to this:
the idea of ones "home" changes depending on their mood, state of mind, and their needs, to name a few variables. there is no one set home for one person. "home" should and will never have limits unless the person searching for it sets them. "home" is everywhere, anywhere one chooses to look into.
of course, mc will ask about why home sometimes turns sour and unsafe (ex extreme family dinner arguments). the figure responds with the idea that within our first homes, we are exposed to surviving and resting. when those dreams of home turn sour, it is a sign that you are in survival mode, and if theyre sweet, you are in resting mode. (so again, the home is a reflection of mcs current state).
after this conversation, the takeaway would be to use these dreams to learn and understand oneself. of course, the initial drive to do so for mc is to have a sense of control ("if i can understand these dreams i will be better able to manipulate them to my advantage" - natural safety instinct). after a while of trying and failing to reach that goal, mc goes to the figure again, asking for guidance on manipulating the dreams.
figure advises them on the illusion of control, the reason for wanting to manipulate the situation to their advantage, how that is a natural survival instinct, and tries to reframe mcs drive as curiousity about the self and how the self changes over time.
tldr: story about the neverending journey of learning about oneself and how it makes up ones life
