The Alien Soul

 Hi, I'm Erin, a trans-girl, Space Fae, and all round GEEK. I mostly write sci-f/sci-fantasy stories.

[postplus-protest]

POST PLUS IS COMING, WHETHER YOU WANT IT OR NOT!

Despite the fancy survey, changes to the UI and TOS reveal we’re getting the service in the future whether we want it or not. Obviously, Post+ is a terrible idea that is trying to bank revenue on user content. Unlike patreon or onlyfans, tumblr’s primary focus is on FAN content. The legality of this is NOT in the users favor and as the new tumblr TOS states, said users will be entirely liable for whatever legal matters arise.

SO WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Besides filling out the survey, it’s time to show tumblr we mean business and show our displeasure by hitting them where it hurts.

Ad revenue.

We’re proposing a 24 hour log off as phase one of this protest.

WHEN IS THE PROTEST?

AUGUST 6th, 2021        12 am Eastern Time (US)          5 am Greenwich Mean Time          6 am Central European Time          8 am Moscow Standard Time          1 pm Australian Western Time          2 pm Japan Standard Time          3:30 pm Australian Central Time          4 pm Australian Eastern Time AUGUST 5th, 2021          11 pm Mountain Time (US)            9 pm Pacific Time (US)

THE END TIME IS 24 HOURS FROM START TIME!!!

So no posting, no queues, no likes, and no reblogs!

WHAT IF I CAN’T/WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Like this post and share it AS MANY TIMES AS POSSIBLE. Use the hashtags #tumblrlogoff2021 or #postplusprotest on ANY and ALL social media.

WILL THIS WORK?

Maybe, maybe not. It’s an attempt at doing SOMETHING.

obsessed with this great bird

[glumshoe]

I’m sorry he’s so good

[glumshoe]

Well, yeah. An emu is just a dinosaur. It’s a big weird bird and that’s all. It does dinosaur things.

A horse is a piece of imperfectly programmed ancient human technology that thinks for itself and is designed to read your mind. It’s an organic robot that goes rogue at the sight of a weird leaf and weighs a billion pounds and can hurt you without trying.

[theamorphousadventurer]

I wholly agree about horses. I don’t trust them.

This is your annual warning that *there will be no warning* when fire season is about to start. Nobody’s going to post “Hey everyone, remember, fire season starts next Friday!”. The state will just catch fire. You will wake up and the sky will be orange. It could be tomorrow, it could be July, it could be August, we could get incredibly lucky and skip it altogether. If you hope to buy an indoor air purifier before fire season, if you want to ensure everyone in your home has a P100 for going outside, if you want to stockpile water and you haven’t already, the time to do it is today.

[theamorphousadventurer]

For those in fire country.

Have you heard the Grimm theme with lyrics by Man On the Internet? Think you'd enjoy it.

I have tried to listen to that cover, but I have a hard time sitting through soundtracks/osts that someones added lyrics onto

[theamorphousadventurer]

Absolutely fair. 

[themauvesoul]

Hate diet culture so much bitches will b like “don’t eat processed carbs they’re so bad for you” like and??? So what?? God did not give us grain and stone to grind it with for no reason. Bread is inevitable. Bread is food for the heart and the soul. U think I’m gonna give that up in pursuit of instagram fitness?? U think I’m gonna deny myself the simple pleasure of toast with jam so I can endlessly chase an ever-shifting standard of beauty that ultimately means nothing? In 20 years I will no longer be beautiful and in 60 my body will be vacant food for other, smaller creatures. But the taste of fresh bread? Of homemade donuts and still-warm pie? I will carry the taste on my tongue into whatever follows this life. So like. Stop telling me I should diet lmao. I’m not abt to martyr myself just to get a man to look at me.

[mockiatoh]

Op genuinely thank you for this

[vstheworld]

“bread is inevitable” is our household motto now

[hydro-homies]

One day it will get its revenge

If we can stop with the whole turning 24 fps animations into ai rendered 4k 60fps amv looking nightmares, that would be great.

[yaboigerard]

The tool they use for that was made for live action and should not even be done with animation, here's a bideo that can explain it so mich better than i could ever

[theamorphousadventurer]

You mean this one?

[yourplayersaidwhat]

At the beginning of a One-Shot:

Fighter: So, what do you do for a living?

Rogue: I, uh, work with people.

Fighter, OOC: Oh, so, like the health insurance advertisement?

Rogue, OOC: Yes, sort of.

At the end of the One-Shot:

Fighter: Hold on! Wait a second! [Rogue] is an assassin?! You’re an Assassin?!

Rogue: I never said, that the people are still alive when I’m done working with them!

[theamorphousadventurer]

The only difference between a Health Insurer and an Assassin is the guarantee of time of death.

Video Transcription:

Hi, it's me.

Men are ruining my life.

Let me explain: My roommate was getting to know this guy and was telling him stories about me.

Pretty early on, the roommate mentions my name, Jubilee.

And the guy goes "Oh, I get it!"

"Get what?" She asked.

And the guy says, "Oh, Jubilee. Because... Because they're an eX-man. Isn't that why they picked it?"

[spluttering]

That is a better joke than I have ever written in my life! About transition or about anything! And a cisgendered straight man wrote it!

How did I not come up with that first?! It's my name!

So, if I've stumbled across your page or you're following me, somehow you must like frauds!

And now all I can think is of the seal going AAAAAAAAAAA...EGG. 

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

adults don't stop having imaginary friends we just start referring to them as original characters

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

[skylark144]

Don't worry they haven't found my emotional support idealized version of myself.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

do you mean your Original Protagonist

[theamorphousadventurer]

Oh, that one character I play in EVERY RPG EVER?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

character who accidentally gets cloned, but instead of the Evil Twin trope or arguing over who is “real” or trying to murder each other (why???) they just…get on with their lives. they acknowledge that they are two virtually identical people with the equal right to exist, and decide to share their social group & living space. eventually their parents & friends get used to the idea of having unusually identical twins around

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

#after awhile no one even brings it up. so whenever someone new join the friend group, they naturally & reasonably assume they have befriended identical twins. until months later when someone randomly mentions the Cloning Incident during movie night

[killer-squirtle]

…How do they get to decide who gets to keep the original name? Rock Paper Scissors?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

They’re both so excited about choosing a new name that they spend a bunch of time arguing over who gets to, before they realize there’s nothing stopping them from both choosing new names

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

#it is later discovered they’re both trans #in hindsight neither of them is much surprised

[theamorphousadventurer]

And now I’m just thinking of the Lutece “Twins” from Bioshock Infinite.
