I've decided to leave because tumblrs decided I can't see "mature content" (and we all know how well there content detection works) unless I give them my fucking id that they've pinky promise is 100% safe and will never get leaked whitch is pure bs or I give them a scan of my face to help them train ai

I wish I didn't have to do this I love it here (really going to miss the fandom stuff) but I really just can't be arsed to deal with this shit

The closest I'll get to being on here now is a pm seymour video

An update for users in Brazil and the United Kingdom

To continue our commitment to user safety and to comply with local laws, we will start using age groups to determine access to certain experiences.

People in Brazil or in the UK, who are 18 or older, will soon need to verify their age to change content label settings and view mature-labeled content. Until then, the settings will be locked to hide.

As a reminder, verification is handled by our age-assurance partner, k-ID. Tumblr won't have access to the information you submit, just the final age-verification result. Documents are deleted after confirmation, and facial scan data never leaves your device. 

Questions? Contact Tumblr support or learn more about these changes here.

k-id, the company that Discord definitely didn't have a gigantic data breach with...

Fuck you

[lithominium]

hey remember what we did with the reblog change?

we should do that AGAIN and get them to NOT use k-id.

[jessie-elle]

Hey @changes do you want to do something about the overwhelming majority of transfem users' posts and profiles being summarily marked as mature before applying any version of this policy to TERF island?

[thebeesinyourbones]

If this goes through I'm not using this shithole of a site anymore (not deactivating just incase but definitely not going to be active anymore)

Jesus christ I'm so fucking tired of this conservative 'protect the kids' bs

The government shouldn't be allowed to decide what people can and can't see that's just fascism

Now tumblr can mark anything they don't want us seeing as 'mature' (trans people, poc, ect.) and block it from half the people here

Not to mention how broken that system already is. I've seen sand dunes and snow be labeled as 'mature'

[markovchaingang]

insanely funny that they put anti-piracy ads on actual legit dvds back in the day. "hey you, person who presumably bought this dvd the legal way and doesn't pirate. here's an annoying ad we're going to make you watch. by the way did you know there's a way to download and watch this shit for free? well you do now. please don't use it. bye bye". i can't believe it didn't work out for them

Shout out to the (many) times I got called an elitist gatekeeper for saying that the only real way to fully understand a work of fiction is to experience it firsthand and that summaries and reviews are not a replacement for that

[the-lincyclopedia]

Me, reading the first 80% of the post: What do you mean, "experience it firsthand"? How am I supposed to join the Hunger Games or go on the Odyssey?

Me, reading the final clause of the post: Oh, you literally meant that people have to read the book/listen to the audiobook in order to fully understand it. And people got mad. Oh dear.

To quote what a friend of mine said after she watched Jerry Maguire (1996) for the first time, having thought she knew what it was about because of its cultural ubiquity: “you miss a lot of a movie when you don’t watch it”

[prismatic-bell]

Also summaries can be misleading.

Here. Don't look this up. Don't put it in the comments if you know. Read this and tell me what movie it describes:

Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again.

Got a guess?

You're locked in?

You're sure?

You don't want a genre hint?

Okay. You're probably gonna feel really silly in a minute, just as a word of warning.

This is a real summary written by Rick Polito.

It was used by Turner Classic Movies in 1998 and was printed in TVGuide. If you're too young to know what that means, it was a staple in most households--if TVGuide said it, you could be pretty sure it was accurate.

Did you guess The Wizard of Oz?

Yeah, I told you it was misleading. Technically it's true, but it misses everything the movie is about.

And if that doesn't explain it for you, I'm not sure anything will.

And if that doesn’t

explain it for you, I’m not

sure anything will.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Not a scholar at first, but the guy who wrote Jaws hated that people used it to justify hating sharks so much he dedicated the rest of his life to shark research and advocacy.

The woman who popularized gender reveals wishes she hadn't, afaik.

[fall1ngfeather]

(afaik- the woman who popularized gender reveals did so because she had a long history of miscarriages. The reveal was a celebration of the fact that one of her pregnancies had gotten far enough that there WAS a physical sex to reveal. It was never intended to be like... *gestures at modern gender reveals* all that. That same kid later came out as trans and yes, the family had a second gender reveal for that lol.)

L. David Mech, who popularised the idea that there were 'alpha' and 'beta' wolves in his 1970 book The Wolf, has spent the rest of his career trying to debunk this. (The original studies were done on captive wolves, and thus didn't simulate an accurate model of wolf pack dynamics.)

Is the Alpha Wolf Idea a Myth?

The idea that wolf packs are led by a merciless dictator, or alpha wolf, comes from old studies of captive wolves. In the wild, wolf packs a

In the wild, researchers have found that most wolf packs are simply families, led by a breeding pair, and bloody duels for supremacy are rare.

“What would be the value of calling a human father the alpha male?” says L. David Mech, a senior research scientist at the U.S. Geological Survey, who has studied wolf packs in the wild for decades. “He’s just the father of the family. And that’s exactly the way it is with wolves.”
