I still think the most devastating enshittification I've ever seen has been picrew. One of the few dress-up game websites left that's not flash-based and it's become DRENCHED in ads. You can't open the home screen without being blasted by at least three or four ads. You can't open two picrews in a row without watching a video ad first. When you have a picrew open the ads cover up the different options and sometimes even stack on each other so you have to hit like 2 or 3 different x buttons to get it to go away, only for more to appear seconds later. Evil world

hey hi, normally i just reblog my portraits- specifically the reblog i do with the *original selfies*- to bump them, but it has come to my attention that apparently ALL MY SELFIE ADDITIONS HAVE BEEN GETTING ANDROID FLAGGED???

so if you have mature content hidden (and you're on the latest version of the *specifically android* tumblr app) you've probably missed This reblog, or this one, or even any of these???

so yeah, if there's any way i could appeal these flags (without needing to update my app) that'd be great but for now, i guess i probably can't go around tagging my portraits with "transgender" anymore (the only reblog with selfies not android mature was one where the original post wasn't tagged with transgender) which, during pride month, is extremely disappointing and i sincerely hope some kind of android flagging workaround is figured out soon...

As AI art gets harder to clock, I feel like we are going to need to have a discussion about attribution and it's probably going to bum some people out.

Because the surest way to avoid platforming, reblogging, or encouraging AI art posting is to know where every image you share originated and that's 1) boring, tedious research and 2) extremely limiting in what you feel you can reblog. But if unattributed images never gets traction, people will start attributing their images.

I've been guilty of this in the past, but for a while now it's been my policy that if I can't verify the origin, I don't share the image. That goes for stuff like screen grabs of headlines too -- more than once I've avoided spreading misinformation by saving a post to research before I reblog, then seeing the post refuted before I've been able to verify it.

And I usually try to attribute photos I take -- case in point, the "woman with shrimp" post gets a lot of attention but not one comment about it being AI, despite it being pretty similar to something you'd get from an AI. That's because I clearly state it's in a museum and link to its catalogue page.

I'm not saying this to scold anyone -- I think yelling at the Internet to cite its sources is very much a losing game -- but because I don't see this discussed much. We're such fertile ground to be fooled by AI art because we've grown accustomed to not questioning the origins of any given image. And of course I also want to encourage both OPs to attribute their images and rebloggers to verify unattributed ones.

Remember this legendary scary image?

Guess what, we found its real author and origin! This was an incredibly fun scavenger hunt. Please give this video a look if you want to know about it!

Actor Jonathan Joss was just murdered for being gay and married to a trans man. On the first day of pride 2025. He was best known for playing John Redcorn on King of the Hill.

I had no idea he was gay but he was married to a man named Tristan Kern de Gonzales (on valentines day 2025!)

They lived in San Antonio Texas where his family is from and he grew up. He was 59.

In Janurary 2025 his home was burned down which made news. It killed some of his beloved dogs. He didnt elaborate beyond he believed it was arson (gofundme is still up and i suggest donating to help his funeral costs and his husband

Update: de Gonzales says hes fine he just wants justice but i still think its nice)

Now we know he and his husband had been threatened by several neighbors for being queer. They told pigs, pigs being pigs did nothing before or after it happened.

Yesterday Joss and his husband went to check their mailbox wherein they found one of their dogs skulls (statement from his husband

)

As they weeped and mourned in shock, a neighbor, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, came out and aimed at de Gonzales…but Joss jumped in front of the bullet and was instantly killed.

Ceja, homophobia murdering coward, tried to take off but de Gonzales had called pigs who vaguely tried to do something. He was arrested and his bail set for $200k. Or as my sister said who the fuck sets bail for a murderer?

San Antonio.

De Gonzales is clearly mourning, posting pics on Hoss’ fb page. This one really struck me

This is why we need pride people, and not rainbow capitalism. Please donate to the gofundme and let san antonio cops knows what you think. De Gonzales said multiple neighbors had threatened them…id like to see those people investigated for arson.

Go into pride with rage and knowing. Have joy, kiss puppies, dont bow to homophobes. And maybe enjoy a little king of the hill.

UPDATE

Jonathan Joss’ husband Tristan kern de Gonzales identifies as trans on his facebook page.

Which explains the ramp up of hate and why the murderer shot at de Gonzales (Joss pushed him out of the way). So this is also a transphobia related murder

you're not a pervert for being attracted to fat people btw . you're not special for being attracted to fat people btw . you're not weird for being attracted to fat people . being attracted to fat people is not a fetish . fat bodies aren't inherently sexual . fat does not mean ugly . ^_^

it's interesting to me how sex workers are not considered an important part of pride history & the lgbt+ community unless the sex worker aspect of their identity is completely erased, and at the same time, every single pride, i see posts go around reminding people that leather daddies & ungendered kinksters should be credited and celebrated for protecting & cultivating pride as we knew it before it became the sanitized corporate holiday that it is today.

marsha p. johnson was a sex worker. sylvia rivera was a sex worker. brenda howard (who organized the first pride parade) was a sex worker. why can we only address the sanitization of pride when it comes to men's sex lives? why can't we talk about how working class women in the sex trade are continually ostracized from & caricatured by the community we helped create?
