Namine is a proud supporter of Moogle Industries.

So, I love that when you go see the Moogle in RE:CoM it flails around and squeaks.  It’s really cute.  I took a mental break from work on Friday and thought “I’m going to toss that moogle around” (because, what else do you do with cute stuffies?)  So, I roughed that in and somehow between then and now it turned into this.

Gifs and screen caps and why not a youtube video too.

I blame the sweltering heat.

Edit: the uncut GIF is up on DA

"In the 1800s, entrepreneurs used technology to justify imposing a new mode of work: the factory system. In the 2000s, CEOs used technology to justify imposing a new mode of work: algorithmically organized gig labor, in which pay is lower and protections scarce. In the 1800s, hosiers and factory owners used automation less to overtly replace workers than to deskill them and drive down their wages. Digital media bosses, call center operators and studio executives are using AI in much the same way."

"In the 1810s, no one in power listened. A fierce, popular rebellion broke out. England was pushed to the brink of civil war. The military was called in to put down the uprising — it was the largest domestic occupation in the nation’s history. Scores of Luddites were killed and hanged. The factory system took root and brought prosperity for some, but it created an immiserated working class.

"The 200 years since have seen breathtaking technological innovation — but much less social innovation in how the benefits are shared. That’s why, in the age of AI and augmented reality, electric vehicles and Mars rovers, levels of inequality again rival the days of the Industrial Revolution."

This is a gifted Washington Post article (you don't have to pay) about the history of the Luddites and why they are salient today. Get past the click-baity title, and you'll find a well-written piece by Brian Merchant.

PLEASE send in actual feedback to staff!

once again begging people to realize staff don't give one single iota of a shit about you reblogging a complaint post then immediately installing an add-on and "going back to normal" like nothing happened, you need to ACTUALLY SUBMIT A FEEDBACK TICKET (or more than one) for them to even lodge that anyone cares about them fucking over basic accessibility by removing icons or screwing artists out of credit on their own posts!

no one looks at the @'s for official accounts. they get pinged like five million times a day stop @ing staff and expecting it to do anything and actually go submit a ticket because otherwise they can just go "well no one complained that we removed avatars from posts so we're keeping it uwu go screw yourself"

it literally takes like twenty seconds. click feedback in the dropdown and either write your own couple lines or just copy paste the message I've written below idfc. ANYTHING is better than doing the equivalent of literally nothing!

the removal of icons from posts makes it impossible to tell who friends or mutuals are to those with reading disabilities, and it's aggressively anti-accessible. please revert this change! the text blends together instead of feeling like separate posts and is extremely distressing because it feels like you've been forcibly booted from the friendship and community that tumblr has fostered for over a decade. not only is this change inaccessible for many disabled persons, it is actively ANTI-accessible and is both extremely alarming and distressing to see even *get* to this stage of testing!

PLEASE. PLEASE SUBMIT FEEDBACK AND DON'T LET THEM SKATE BY BECAUSE "NO ONE CARES" ABOUT THIS

FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS THE OLD DASHBOARD LAYOUT BACK:

Download the Tampermonkey extension on your browser then install this userscript to have the dashboard reverted back. The creator of this wonderful script has also provided us with the option to hide Tumblr mart and the dashboard tabs among a few other things.

Please spread the word and reblog the OP's first post here or their newest one here! Tumblr staff needs to get their shit together.

For those of you who want to lock all of your works with all the silly AI scraping of AO3 (which AO3 is recommending you lock your works, as stated in this post)

Here is a quick and easy guide of how to edit ALL of your works at once.

From your Dashboard click on “edit works” on the far right. This will bring up all of your works that you can select.

Select all the works you want to edit, then hit “Edit” at the bottom right.

Scroll to nearly the bottom of the page where you find “Visibility” and select “only show to registered users” and then update at the bottom.

That’s it, all of your works have now been locked without having to go in and edit each fic individually.

I hope this helps!

Remember in 1993 when Jurassic Park was like…the end all, be all of special effects?

Eurovision popular v jury votes and the success of A24 as a publisher/producer really show that the general public loves weird and experimental stuff and that it's purely the established/corporate cucks who are adamant about shoving generic "safe" shit down our throats
