thank you everyone for many fun years, and for your continued support going forward 🫶
Brazil legislation: Digital Statute For Children And Adolescents
Apple App Store Age Verification
These are not tumblr specific policies. Tumblr is implementing age verification in response to legislative moves that were made months ago.
Tumblr is a failing social media site that has escaped death multiple times already; they do not have the social cachet to defy state regulatory agencies. We know they won't say no to Apple, either--the porn ban on tumblr was in response to Apple's crackdown on explicit content.
If you did not know this was happening, you were behind the curve. That is fine. You're caught up now. The next step is to link up with people in your country who are working to preserve privacy, to roll back these laws where they exist, and to prevent their passage where they do not. In the US the organization you want is Stop KOSA--in the EU you can start with Fight Chat Control.
Repealing ID verification and blocking chat control will help everyone, especially the most vulnerable. We can push this back, but we cannot get it done through the Feedback form. We have to get it done at the legislative level and lock it down so it cannot be forced upon us. I see lots of anger out there. Good. Put it to use.
Which class should Med'an only have in the rewrite story if I make it about him?
Shaman🍃
Paladin ✨ 🛡️
Mage🪄📖
Warrior🪓⚔️
Other
Just wants to see the results
Voting ended onJun 8
I felt bad for Med'an being kind of being written out of existence by Blizzard b/c of how he was first introduced in the kind of canon WoW comic series. So, I might make a rewrite story for Med'an, so he isn't a Mary Sue character anymore, just a normal half human, half orc/draenei hero. But I couldn't decide on a class for him... So vote on which class would be perfect for him that I had seen and heard from the view on his story. He can only have one class, while the other class that he will never be able to learn.
the use of AI lately has made me feel so hopeless, i translated pages of an unfinished fanzine of mine so i can remember why i love art...i hope it can resonate with anyone feeling the same way
Don't see enough people talk about the Bacon Soldier notes from Vermillion Village.... So decided I'll post about them.
A friend of mine [@rarelirium] pointed out the bacon solider sounds like they went through a similar thing to Player and they're not too far off, but I do wanna see other theories. I've been hoping to see them in demo 5 ever since I found the notes during demo 4 :]
NOTE ONE
NOTE TWO
I kinda wanna see other peoples thoughts on this guy!
I have my own theories but I get nervous about posting theories-
Though had a neat thought of this guy being Figure or something..
Okay, so here’s the updated plans for fighting against youtube's new ai age policy and privacy violating rule (I believe in us!)
Plan 1. Black out and leave youtube/ youtube boycott (August 13 to the point where the policy is gone)
It’s a very simple plan, but this time we just leave until it’s fully reversed. That way YouTube doesn’t just ignore us and the original black out. We have to stand our ground and show them we aren’t going to give up. We have to last as long as possible and let their revenue drain until they concede or someone else comes in and makes another platform (that isn’t based on politics but the same ideas as the original YouTube)
Plus I would like to add some small extra things that will help with the blackout though. That being mass downloading YouTube content. Now this might be the easiest thing for certain people, but it’s something.
Mass downloading YouTube content can help in case there a couple of videos or channels you want to watch during the blackout.
(I use something called a ytdlp but there might be better options for you out there, there might even be built in ones in a web browser or two, just search around the place, you'll find it eventually)
Forget what I said about alternatives that block YouTube, avoid anything that even remotely connects to YouTube. If it connects to YouTube it still provides traffic and helps it out, we want to disconnect from it completely, don’t let it have a drop of traffic
Plan 2. Bugging the crap out of them.
Now since they have a mail box for us to use, that can be used for our advantage here. So here’s what we do, send them letters asking them to reverse the decision, that way they will be overwhelmed by letters that have to eventually give up. Now I don't want you guys to send out slurs, curses or whatever. I need you guys to be kind and critical. I want you to point everything wrong with this and why it is destined to fail and leave the company crumbling
In addition to these letters, if at all possible, I want you guys to include photos of comments made by other people (Twitter, tumblr, whatever) criticizing this and making it known that it’s not just you guys who are angry, but people all over too.
Now we can also include emails in this, but that might be harder than excepted, but in case you do want to send in a email, you can send it that way
I can't find any other way of sending them an email, but good to you if you do find it (though I would recommend a letter much more)
UPDATE, someone has pointed out that we should all send out our letters on a single day, Im taking around August 5th about a week before the thing actually rolls out and than maybe we’ll do another batch on the 8th just in case
Make sure you mass send a bunch of letters
WIP plan 3, legal bull
I wish I could say this plan was finished, but unfortunately, it is not at all. All we have to go for here to filing a complaint towards the FTC about this and or using what this user recommneds (though I can't fully say if it'll work or not)
This plan will be worked on as much as possible
I want everyone if they can to spread to outside of tumblr, talk about it on twitter, facebook, blusky, youtube itself, this plan has to spread to as much people as possible.
I believe we can do our best and shine a light through these horrible times, we can be light in the darkness that will help others shine a burn a hole in this horrible system of censorship
I believe in every last one of you, I believe you can do good and spread good, because in your hearts, you are good
If you have any other ideas, let me know, cause i know more minds are better than one.
Good luck!
Update! We have a discord server now! We will be planning, spreading news and of course sharing ways to deal with YouTube’s ID policy

I might forget to support the YouTube Black Out protest by not going on YouTube between 13th to 20th, so I'm just going to support them by spreading awareness to everyone.
just a heads up to my fellow writers out there that AO3 is currently fighting off bots commenting on people’s works to tell them that AO3 will delete their fics “due to the works being deprecated”, and the deletion will affect their accounts unless the authors delete the fics themselves first. IT IS A SCAM. AO3 will NOT delete your works. please do NOT fall for these bots!
I’ve been told the reason why these bots are doing this is due to copyright infringement issue where they’re trying to steal your works (possibly to train AI but this is just a guess) ‼️‼️‼️and once you deleted your fics, it will be either very difficult or impossible for you to claim ownership of your own fics when they were already deleted.‼️‼️‼️
a reminder that AO3 will never contact you through your comments section (in case they claim to be one of the moderators). AO3 will only contact you through your email address which you use to register your account, and it will be from AO3’s official handle. not some sketchy ass @
so if you get a comment telling you you should “delete your works to protect your account because AO3 is doing blah blah blah” report that comment. don’t delete your works.
PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THESE SCAM.
AO3 IS NOT DELETING WORKS.
DO NOT DELETE YOUR WORKS JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE CLAIMS THEY KNOW SOMETHING.
Warning for AO3 Writers and Readers: Scammer Bots falsely claiming to be admin of the site, telling people to delete their works or have your account terminated, so the bots can steal your hard work and passed it off as their own. Report them if you see any suspicious comments claiming to be the owner.
Nemesis is going to leave her father at the Gas Station on purpose and won't tell anyone that they forgot about him until someone say something (most likely going to be Margarita).
Remaster of Technoblade Tribute, might make a another one to make it look better.
I most forgot, the pig design was from creator over on DeviantArt by the name of MrCreator3000, while the crown and cape were made by me. <3 https://www.deviantart.com/mrcreator3000/art/Minecraft-Pigs-variety-pack-831000146 check them out when you have a chance.
