You know what? Thinking of coming back. Again. Seeing if I can get some eyes on my fanfic here, especially since what I tend to write nowadays (wrestling fanfic) gets (used to get? IDK, is there anti-WWE sentiment here?) traffic here.

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

of course I come back just in time to turn stuff off because of AI crawling

Hi. I’m thinking of actually coming back to this app. Or not. If so, I’m keeping @glenannes up but I won’t be updating that. And I think my Sleepy Hollow AO3 feed died a long time ago. Is there really a need or demand for a Sleepy Hollow feed in 2023? May delete that, especially if it’s not updating at all anymore.

coming back to bitch about how Tumblr took down a rec list I put here and to say fuck Tumblr for doing that

[merryghoul]

OK, I confess it, this burn made me laugh out loud.

what the Half of It really shows is that there’s more than one way to do a story about queer coming-of-age, while also being a brilliant reminder that sexuality will always be intersecting with other identities when you’re young teen of colour.

in the margins of this film, there is an extremely quiet but very overt storyline about the loneliness of being a second generation immigrant in a small town that doesn’t have a prominent diaspora community. In contrast to To All the Boys, for example, where we’re shown how the Covery sisters interact with their diaspora friends and other Korean diaspora families, and how having that community (and sharing that common history with someone) is an essential part of your social life and emotional wellbeing, Ellie and her father are more or less alone in a white, conservative town. 

As Ellie mentions, the closest Asian grocery store is 2 hours by bike, and to be separated from all assurance of your heritage and identity is an extremely specific kind of loneliness.  In this town, they will always be the Other, and Ellie is not only extremely disconnected from her peers and her classmates, but also from herself. She’s trying to grow up in the image of her father, because it’s the only connection she has to that part of her identity, and that’s kept her detached and self-isolated.

It is crushing, which is why seeing Ellie overcome that loneliness is an equally important part of her character arc. She learns to be herself, and her sexuality, but an equally big triumph is her growing out of her self-isolation. Her friendship with Paul, being accepted by her classmates, and her longing for Aster are all equal parts of her coming-of-age. 

This was a specific story told by a Chinese director, with a Chinese protagonist finding her sense of self in a town that has more or less worn away her identity.  if you’re white and LGBTQ+, i am going to please ask you to stop whining about how The Half of It  is not ~quEeER eNoUgh~ for you, because the movie itself has already broken the mold of how many stories about how Asian diaspora are told.
