I don’t reblog much, but this is too well said not to.

[themayfieldtreasury]

This always gets a reblog.

[harlotvonquinn]

Preach!

[lilithdamonster]

This!

[damianimated]

Please don’t leave babies, kids, or animals in hot cars this summer. “Just one minute” can feel like a lifetime when you’re being cooked alive. ☀️🚗

[mace-from-outerspace]

This could lead to heat stroke which is VERY DANGEROUS!!! Please don’t leave your kids or pets in the car!!

[tehrogue]

DONT. FUCKING. DO. THIS.

[gahdamnpunk]

Why is this even a question? How is your child meant to learn to apologize when you don’t do it yourself as a parent?

[heartphat]

Should people apologize to people?

[star-rattling-question]

It also makes you more approachable. I’m a preschool teacher and I always try to apologize when I’m in the wrong because its a important thing to model and shows kids adults aren’t infallible.

2015 - Here are some gifs of Donald Trump being attacked by a bald eagle named Uncle Sam, literally the least patriotic thing that can happen to an American. [video]

[kedreeva]

I’m reblogging this again because I finally realized why this is so funny to me, as a bird person.

In the first gif, what you’re seeing is a man who has zero idea how to handle a bird. That’s a heavy bird, and he’s got his arm stretched out as far as it will go in an attempt to keep the bird away from his face. What that does is create unstable footing for Uncle Sam. The handler is there trying to hold up Trump’s arm, but the bird has already realized it needs to leave or it will fall. In the first gif the bird is not attacking Trump- it is trying to get away from him so it doesn’t get hurt.

In the second gif, what we see is a bird that remembers what just happened and is blaming Trump for it. Uncle Sam sees Trump reach for its tether, and makes a lunge at Trump’s hand to keep him away. The bird /does not/ want to hang out with Trump because it has learned that Trump has no idea what he is doing.

Uncle Sam is rejecting Trump based on Trump’s proven inability to properly handle Uncle Sam. And that is both hilarious and beautiful.

Good bird.

[rainnecassidy]

Always reblog Uncle Sam telling Trump to fuck off

[why-animals-do-the-thing]

This is a better explanation of these gifs than I could have given!

[allaboardtheloonyexpress]

I had to reblog this, for obvious reasons.

[sepdet]

And oh by the way, this is a clip of Trump casually breaking federal law. You have to get a special permit to handle bald eagles for scientific, educational, or religious purposes, which are the only purposes allowed. Self-promotion is not.

[nerdyydragon]

“Uncle Sam rejecting Donald Trump based on Trump’s proven inability to properly handle Uncle Sam” better be the headlines on his impeachment press coverage, and I hope this scenario is made into a political cartoon for it

character development

[phantoms-united]

THIS IS THE KIND OF DEVELOPMENT I LIKE TO SEE

[mrskcreads]

I love his response about how he’s more informed now.

[explorerrowan]

“Now I’m in a higher grade, I read more books, and get more information about stuff.” This is literally all we’re asking of the bigots, but they’re apparently incapable of the development a seven year old is.

[madhattey-deactivated20211019]

THIS IS HOW YOU DEVELOP A KID, TAKE NOTES!

kudos to the parents.

And kudos to this child.

I love him ;-;

[bellygangstaboo]

[tontonmichel-deactivated2022021]

Well damn

[justcariii]

Shit has been bad for a while

[fatcr0w]

Right so this lady was smart, if you’re ever in a sedan-style trunk there’s a little pull tab that you can use to get yourself out that is STANDARD in cars built after 2001. It’s the law just like headlights and seatbelts.

if you are in an SUV style vehicle or newer model car you may be able to find the automatic trunk release wire, pull on it, it will pop the trunk

if you can’t find any of that stuff,look for the brake light housing. You will need to pull back the trunk carpeting and feel about. It’s probably bolted in, but some careful wiggling will dislodge it. If people see a goddamn arm waving out of a hole in a car while they poke along I-95 they likely will do something about it

I was about to explain that handle myself. I did in the past and was told I have a sick since of humor for saying it helps to serve as an escape method in kidnappings.

Reblog to save a life

[timberwolfalpha]

Damn right I’m reblogging, saving lives is kinda my thing.

[assnickles]

It’s so bad that all I can think of is street smarts…

[creepycreepyspacewizard]

If you’ve ever wondered how reposting hurts artists- yesterday I found a post from 2012ish featuring one of my Sherlock/Doctor Who pieces. That post had 17,604 notes. It wasn’t my post. My post of that art had 0 notes.

Apparently I saw the post once when it was at 6k because an artist I admired reblogged it, but at that stage I was very unwell & not experienced enough with Tumblr to realise what effect it might have.

Looking through the notes now I see that in the six years since then-

Several people got the design as a tattoo.

A number liked it enough to want custom designs but didn’t know how to contact me so that’s approximately £300 I didn’t get a chance to earn.

Someone used that art in the front cover of a comic by accident and while the company fixed it after I contacted them that’s exposure that it’s far too late to capitalise on now.

If you like an artwork that you find off tumblr, please, please I am begging you search for the artist’s name and see if they do actually have a Tumblr you could reblogged from instead. If you’re an artist search your username(s) every so often to see if your work has been taken.

A few hundred quid might not seem like a lot, but that’s a few months of income for me

[lcsingstars-moved]

how to know if tumblr has been eating your asks: send yourself anywhere between 5-10 asks, ( anon or not ) but have each ask be nothing but an order in which you sent them.

i.e: the first ask says ‘1′, the second says ‘2′, etc etc.

i sent myself ten of these, both on anon and not. This was all i received back:

Tumblr is now eating asks along with notifications. We must be more interactive than ever if we want keep this form of entertainment we call the rpc. Go ahead and warn your friends or test this for yourselves.. This post is reblogable.

[faunafemes]

I just sent myself five of these. none of them came through.

[thedogandthewitch-deactivated20]

I just did this myself last night and out of the ten ask I sent myself only one came through.

Please know if I’m not responding to you, your ask, or your messages, I am not willingly ignoring you. I am however doing my best to try and stay in contact with everyone.

[toujours-fidele-deactivated2018]

okay welp i just tried it and only the last one came through so if i ignore your ask: 

1. it didn’t go through (message me or send it again)  

2. i’m a lazy bitch and i’ll get to it eventually

[katesattic]

^^^^

[bluechocowitz]

i’ve tried like, five asks.

nothing came through

[spookiibuggii-deactivated202209]

oOOF SAME If I dont answer, that means I never got it ;w;

[buttercupsticksntricks]

Hi!! Hello!! Just a quick memo: This blatantly isn’t true! Yeah, Tumblr hecks up sometimes and notifications / asks don’t go through occasionally which sucks, but it’s not nearly as bad as what this test makes you think. Tumblr will discard asks that are sent which contain only 1 character (one singular letter, number, or symbol!) This is why only the number 10 shows up! Too bad this isn’t stated more obviously. This has been a PSA!

[corned-beef-hash-deactivated201]

yesterday i went to a gay bar for the first time, and I met two people. The first was a man well into his 70′s, who had only come out since his wife died. Even though he could barely walk, he knew every single person at the bar, and each one came over for a hug and to chat. The second was a transgender woman who, after two children and three grandchildren, had finally decided to live as herself. She was wearing heels and leather pants and makeup, and she was absolutely beautiful. she knew she was as well, and she was so proud and excited when people walked by and said “hey girl” without even thinking about it. point i’m trying to make is, it’s never too late to come out

[unbearablylight]

That post about asks is wrong!

please stop reblogging that post about sending yourself numerical asks in order to check if your ask box is working. sending yourself a solitary number will result in tumblr filtering it out, probably considering it spam.

send yourself more than one character. a keysmash. a “what’s up.” anything.

if you still don’t have messages, then yeah something is wrong. but i just sent myself 4 messages and the only one i didn’t receive was one that was simply “7″

stop spreading that other post because it’s really worrying some people and could be causing some stress. thanks!

[popfizzles]

So I have some bad news.

Looks like someone’s been tracing my art and posting it to Google Plus.

Their Google Plus accounts can be found [here] and [here]. (Be careful, there’s some censored nsfw there.) I’ve already filed a report with Google Plus, and I would have filed a report with Tumblr but it seems as if there’s none of this artwork on their tumblr account (which can be found [here]).

I’m really upset and disappointed about this but I’ve dealt with this person before in terms of copying character design and it seems like they just don’t stop. So I was hoping to bring some light to it.

If there’s any sort of help anyone can give me, that’d be really appreciated.

[popfizzles]

An Update on the Situation

Things have not gotten better and in fact I would say that they’re beginning to get worse. Here are two more “new” pieces that have been brought to my attention.

This makes for a total of eight so far.

I’ve also learned that this person is doing commissions on an Objects Head Amino and I fear the worse: they may be tracing my art or the art of others, and making money off of it.

This has to come to an end, now.

[popfizzles]

Developments

Ironic, huh?

They traced an art I made about the fact they’ve been tracing my art.

I’m not going to stop adding to this post and the longer it gets just further proves my point. It’s ridiculous that this continues to happen and I’m doing everything I can to look into getting it shut down and stopped for good.

I’d like to thank every message that’s currently sitting in my inbox about suggestions on how to handle this situation and everyone who’s standing by me and helping me with it. It means so much to me that you’re supporting me in this. 

Things like this can destroy artists and nobody deserves this kind of disrespect.

[popfizzles]

Also here’s a Youtube Video compilation of the traced arts.

[minecraftcutie-deactivated20190]

Provided to me by a source through discord, I’m going to help out and tag the tracer’s current active tumblr.

that-one-darkness-dad is the current url of the tracer. They’ve made it so access to their blog is limited to the dashboard so permalinks to their blog may not work.

With this said, I am all for giving someone the benefit of the doubt if styles do happen to look similar. However, when there’s empirical evidence to the contrary when there’s far too much in common where it looks like an exact copy- line for line- then there is no doubt to be had. Something has to be done to stop it.

An apology does little when one denies the allegations to these obvious actions of plagiarism which can ruin professional repertoire on both sides which can cause catastrophic damage if either artist depends on their works for a living, be it through professional works or through free-lance independent professionalism through patreon support. These aren’t the sorts of things that go away over time either, the effects of this can last for much longer, even linger for years after.

It needs to be said how much that something like this can damage both the person responsible for the tracing as well as the original source. It had to be said so that appropriate action can be taken. And no, I will not speak for things that do little to aid in stopping plagiarism, but instead only lead to more problems: bullying, hate-mail, and hurtful call outs will only cause more harm than good.

Don’t be a jerk, don’t be that person, report the art and act like a civil human being concerned for the original content creator. Don’t be another problem, be someone that resolves it.

I’ll also provide other links that direct to sites that host the copies.

So much for an apology.

This makes 18 traced arts, and these are the only ones I’ve found/have been brought to me by other people. Who knows how many they have hidden.

[kazooldlekatdoodle-deactivated2]

spreading the word

[borkdork]

See, there’s nothing wrong with taking inspiration from someone’s art, but when it goes as far as not only copying the pose 100% and even some of the clothing, it’s just stealing.

This is NOT okay.

[jennstarkid]

About a week ago I posted this.

I’ve been getting horrible messages like this in my ask for months, including:

and my personal favorite

After getting the message saying “Just go kill yourself” I was completely done dealing with this person’s horrible messages and replied with just an “Okay.” and logged off tumblr.

About a week later I logged back on with 17 messages in my ask, most of them from the anon. I scrolled down and at first when I logged off, the anon messaged me things like

I scrolled up more and all of a sudden they started sending me more and more messages like

This was extremely surprising to me. I thought “After all those horrible messages you sent to me for MONTHS about hating me and wanting me dead, you say ‘sorry’ and that you ‘cant be responsible for someone’s suicide’?”

But I guess the lesson goes like this:

DONT TELL ANYONE TO KILL THEMSELVES UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED FOR WHAT MIGHT ACTUALLY HAPPEN

[galaxywarrioress1234]

DON’T TELL ANYONE TO KILL THEMSELVES EVER.

[red-rioter]

THIS POST IS SO IMPORTANT I WANT EVERYONE ON TUMBLR IN THE WORLD TO SEE IT

[serenityhayashi]

This needs to be reblogged. I couldn’t scroll past this if I tried, I got a message like that but not for me, it told me to my friend to kill them self, I was livid! I didn’t answer it because a message like that doesn’t deserve an answer but I don’t see what is so funny about telling someone to kill them selves! I really don’t! It’s sick and it’s wrong. This person though, I take my hat off to you. You taught that bully a lesson.

Please people don’t send anon hate your just hurting yourselves…

Don’t tell anyone to kill themselves. EVER.
