MY BLOGS ARE BACK!!
I LIIIIIIIVE!
And therefore: little-lost-whit -> whit-on-the-side. I’ll keep this account as a backup for now, and I’ve promoted it to admin of junkyard gifs so if my main gets terminated at any point in the future or I lose access to it, the gifs blog should be safe.
continuing doing the requests from this post! I still don't have my scanner with me so again, I'm sorry for the bad quality!!
Thank you @plzdonthitmewithyourcar 💗🤣 (also thank you for being so kind to suggest something else if I'm uncomfortable with a ship! although I have to say I usually have no problem with any of them!😊😊)
(For a Platugger drawing, visit this post~)
pounce is FULL OF MILK
So, I'm not able to do much for Pride Month, but I love quilting, and wanted to have some fun, so I made these!
Gandalf throwing his staff at gollum is what really makes this

i enter the lesbian bar wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the phrase: ask me about my favorite fallacy. copious beautiful women proceed to do so. “it’s the argument from fallacy” i tell them. “the fallacy of claiming that because an argument contains a fallacy, that argument’s conclusion must therefore be false.” murmurs of appreciation, as this is an underrated, even unorthodox choice. “but there’s more,“ i say. the women listen, their attention piqued. “let’s call an argument containing some random fallacy Argument A. if you claim that Argument A’s conclusion is false because it commits a fallacy to get there, you have, of course, committed the argument from fallacy. but here’s where it gets interesting.” the women lean in, enraptured. someone turns the music off. “if i claim that your conclusion (that Argument A’s conclusion is false) is false because you committed a fallacy (the argument from fallacy), i too have committed the same fallacy.” i am met with exclamations of delight and disbelief. “it’s like fallacyception,” i say. the women burst into applause, charmed by my firm grasp of logic and reasoning. i exit the lesbian bar covered in lipstick kiss marks like in a cartoon
tips on how to hide a dead body?
Go find that superwholock post
do you have any idea how little that narrows it down
would you like a bird that is Actually Trans?
this is millie the eclectus parrot! they live at the aviary i work at, and is very cool! they used to have regular female plumage, but they bonded with an african grey and started turning green when they were placed in the same cage! we still don’t know exactly what caused it, but they’ve definitely gotten noticeably greener since i began working with them! have a good day <3
(this is millie’s partner :)
awwww that is so sweet!
thank you for sharing this lovely trans parrot <33
Actually trans! Parrots are fairly chill about the sex of their partner, and I’ve had several who will pair up with another of the same sex and then switch up gender roles when it comes to courtship behaviours. Sometimes one will always lead the courting, sometimes they will swap.
And yes, it’s fairly easy for sexually dimorphic birds to transition visually as well as socially! Dominant hens turning into roosters in the absence of a dominant lad is fairly well documented, etc.
In this case, as OP doesn’t state it outright: eclectic parrots are highly sexually dimorphic, with the girls being red with blue highlights, and the boys being green. So, Millie bonded strongly with this African grey, who presumably took on a female role in courtship, because Millie responded by taking on a male role - and producing enough male hormones to moult out the red feathers (presumably in the course of their regular annual moulting cycle) and grow in green ones instead!
Also, note the beak: girls’ beaks are black and boys’ are orange. Beaks are like fingernails, growing constantly from the base; so, Millie is growing out the black and replacing it with orange.
FAQ
Read this before sending an ask. I’ll update it as frequently as I can. If you’re looking to see posts I’ve made about Tumblr, check my #tumblr tag.
You’re not shadowbanned. There’s no shadowbanning on Tumblr. If you can tell something is obviously wrong, then it’s a bug.
It’s not always a bug.
When I asked why asks from certain users don’t show on the /posts/submission endpoint of the public API, I was ultimately told this:
Later the same day, one of the affected users reported that they were now showing up in searches and notification feeds, which had not been true before my support ticket.
So:
There is a state that users can get into.
It has various symptoms like not showing up in searches and notifications.
The state exists on purpose, even if it’s sometimes applied to a given user inappropriately.
There are spam prevention filters that can put a user in this state.
The state is commonly (if perhaps misleadingly) referred to as “shadowbanning” by the user base.
Is this state a “bug”? I wouldn’t call it that. It’s meant to exist.
I suppose one could argue that the state itself isn’t a bug, but that false positives in the relevant filter are bugs. Even that doesn’t seem right, though. Every spam filter will have some false positives.
This has existed since at least Feb 19 2022 (before the OP was made), since that’s the date of the earliest example post I provided with the ticket.
Indeed, the public API issue has been happening for much longer than that. My examples start on Feb 19 2022 only because that was the day I finally got around to implementing a workaround for it, which produced logs I could later search.
I’m trying to phrase this as non-combatively as possible, although I don’t feel like I’m doing very well. I’m not trying to start an argument, about this kind of website trivia of all things. Just want to make the situation clear to people.
What this response is describing is probably the user’s trust score, a rank assigned based on whether they seem human and non-spammy enough for certain period of time. Confirming your email will raise the score for example. I’m not sure if these trust scores can be lowered automatically but there might be bugs preventing the scores from increasing automatically.
Could also be a bug with the strike system if they received strikes for trust and safety infractions. I can’t confirm any of this, but it’s my best guesses.
So yes, it is a bug that users get stuck in this state. There are anti-spam and moderation scores that are values on the user and the mechanisms that set them can break or the values could be read wrong.
I currently can’t send or receive asks or DMs from this account. :( The error messages I get are weird and non-informative but yes, definitely some state of “blocked from social interactions”.
(For context, this is an account I made with a new email address when my main got accidentally terminated a few weeks ago. When I first made it, it could receive DMs etc; now it can’t. My main was reinstated a few days later, so it’s possible that the fact that I stopped using this one so actively helped get it flagged as a spam account?? Though i would think a spam account would, you know. Be highly active in its social activity. L)
testing??

the himalayan monal is a large member of the pheasant family found in parts of asia. while during the breeding season they mainly stay in pairs, in winter they form small communities and roost together. they feed on grasses, insects, seeds and berries. they are known for their vivid iridescent plumage, particularly colorful for a pheasant. x

“Where is Grizabella from?” “Africa!“
You heard it here, folks.
Ana Milva Gomes as Grizabella, Gerben Grimmius as Skimbleshanks, and Denise Jastraunig asking the question. Vienna revival, 29 April 2022.
I propose “snipped it in the button”. Even farther from the original metaphor but somehow twists itself into a new (and incomprehensible) one related to sewing.
Reblog and put in the tags how old you were when you realized you were LGBT.
Grainy backstage cuteness from the 2022 Taiwan tour! George Hankers giving us a glamour Jerrie (albeit bald), Carly Miles peeking behind him as Tantomile, Alice Batt as Jellylorum, Mukeni Nel right at the back as Carbuckety, Dane Quixall once again covering the role that’s not meant to have covers (well, he hasn’t had a chance to cat since before the pandemic, so he deserves every opportunity on that stage he can get!), and Dominique Hamilton being cute as Rumpelteazer.
