🚨⚠️ATTENTION FELLOW WRITERS⚠️🚨

If you use Google Docs for your writing, I highly encourage you to download your work, delete it from Google Docs, and transfer it to a different program/site, unless you want AI to start leeching off your hard work!!!

I personally have switched to Libre Office, but there are many different options. I recommend checking out r/degoogle for options.

Please reblog to spread the word!!

Warning: do not delete any sideblogs

I’ve been seeing it happen to a handful of people, but apparently if you try to delete your sideblog you will end up deleting your MAIN tumblr account entirely as well I don’t know if this is a bug or something, but I’ve seen it happen to ~4 people now, so until this possible bug gets worked out do NOT delete any of your sideblogs unless you want to risk deleting your account entirely

being a pepper plant has to be so weird.

Imagine evolving capsaicin specifically to stop mammals from eating your fruits, and then a mammal comes along that not only will eat your fruits, but likes them specifically because of the capsaicin, so much that it starts using its weird paws to distribute and care for your seeds, which turns into a strong selective force that literally starts evolving you into producing MORE capsaicin and makes you a WAY more successful and wider ranged species than you ever were before

simply because this mammal LOVES Pain Chemical. that evolved specifically to produce pain in mammals. It's not that the capsaicin isn't WORKING. It's just that these freaks like it.

being a girl and hitting puberty is so traumatic. you go from being a genderless little free thing to being hit with shaving and makeup and growing breasts and skincare and menstruation and suddenly being sexualised when like a few years ago you could take your shirt off to play in the stream and trade yugioh cards with the boys and come home covered in mud and not even think about it. and then you spend years hating being a girl and hating everything puberty did to you and wishing you could be a boy or be completely genderless again and it takes you Many years to come to terms with yourself Or you simply try to Lean In to everything and do makeup tutorials on YouTube and claim it’s for fun. like how can this be treated as normal

Fanfiction.net going/gone down?

Friends -- this is what fanfiction.net's front page looks like right now.

@beautifulfic advises (and I can confirm, I just checked it) that the mobile version of the site, m.fanfiction.net, appears still to be up. STRONGLY suggest that if you have material there that's not preserved elsewhere, you go in via the mobile gateway and archive it NOW.

Please reblog so others can take action.

ETA: @mylittleredgirl advises that if you attach “www.” to the front of the URL, the site displays correctly. But this is still concerning, and suggests somebody’s either monkeying around with their .htaccess file—a fairly important piece of under-the-hood "equipment" for a website—or has possibly misconfigured the site in some other way.

At the moment there's no telling what's going on. Meanwhile, if I had anything over there, I’d back it up anyway.

so i have a mildly popular “reblog and put in in the tags” post going around and its. very clear how many people don’t know how to interact with a tumblr post

so, first of all, tumblr’s culture has changed a lot in the past couple years. there’s a genuine community effort to not start any drama, and ironically a lot of the current hostility is an effort to keep things calm. there’s also a change in how people interact with posts, so if you haven’t been here in a while please skip down to the tags/replies/reblog with text section.

for newcomers: you should be reblogging posts about as liberally as you would like something on twitter. if you only like stuff, people will think you are rude/a bot. you’ve probably heard people talk about “cultivating your dash,” and thats because this platform is 100% centered around your dashboard. trending matters less, unfollowing and blocking in order to shape your dash into it’s best form is widely accepted, the majority of the content you’ll find and interact with will be because of your dash, and the only way to put things on your dash is to reblog them. tumblr users are deeply distrustful of algorithms and have largely turned off the “see posts your friends have liked” function (i recommend you also turn of the various algorithms in settings → general settings → dashboard preferences).

so, once you’ve reblogged a post, there’s three ways to add content to it. the tags, replies, and reblogging with text. all of them have different connotations

the tags: an inside voice. originally they were meant for organizing your blog (and they’re still used for this), but they’ve also morphed into a way to share thoughts that aren’t funny/insightful enough for non-followers to be interested in. when in doubt, put your comment in the tags

replies: basically talking to your friends in class. your followers have no way of finding your replies (they don’t pop up on the dash, nobody gets notified except for the original poster) so chances are, only the person who made the post is gonna see your comment. it’s for quick one-offs that you’re okay with other people overhearing, but really is only made for one person. they’re like a public dm

reblog with text: an outside voice. you’re getting up on a stage in town square and entertaining people. make sure it’s funny or insightful— bottom line, add something new to the conversation. you should use this the least

general rules of thumb: 

when in doubt, reblog. people will judge you if your blog is only personal posts and you only interact with other content by liking it.  

the only things people will judge you for reblogging are personal vent posts. leave a like to give a little virtual hug

if a post is asking about your personality/opinions (i.e: tell me what’s the last tv show you watched, that kind of thing) put it in the tags 

also if you see a nice edit, gifset, or art, reblog and say something nice in the tags! it’s that nice sweet spot of common enough that no one will notice but uncommon enough to make the artist’s day

Denkt alle daran, wenn Hogwarts Legacy rauskommt:

Am besten nicht kaufen, nicht runterladen, nicht interagieren. Keine Let's Plays anschauen.

Je weniger das Spiel Beachtung bekommt, je weniger Klicks Onlineinhalte mit dem Spiel bekommen, desto weniger Geld und Aufmerksamkeit kommt transphoben und, vor allem in diesem Fall, antisemitischen Personen, Darstellungen und Zwecken zugute.

my url is an obscure tolkien reference, how about yours?

Where's the spinoff series in which Murray, Enzo and Yuri share an apartment in the US? I need that! I need Dmitri to get his son there of course, but just the thought of him and Yuri navigating life in the US, while Murray keeps them alive in check.

how did erik start coaching christine. like was she just singing in the bath one day and she heard a distant echo saying “you’re sharp”

You know what would be awesome? A site where authors can help each other when it comes to representation. This should by no means replace researching different topics on your own because there is so much incredibly good stuff out there and most questions can be answered if you look deep enough, and even if you are not trying to create realistic characters, you should look into different people and their view on the world. But sometimes there are just a few little things that still remain as questions that would be awesome to just talk about with people who are willing to talk about it. Because asking a person you know could potentially put them in a situation where they feel they have no choice but to answer you since you are acquaintances. Even if they are not 100% comfortable talking about it.

Kid Chris: I'm gonna be just like you when I grow up

Travis: No. No, no, no! That's a horrible idea, Ma is gonna kill me.

I got a similar one a few days ago, so glad I trusted my gut and ignored it.

Almost the exact same wording but a different server as it seems

heads up, if you get a discord message like this, even/especially from a friend,

DO NOT CLICK IT

people are getting hacked

I know, I'm easily "over interpreting" songs to fit a certain character but damn!

Liar by The Arcadian Wild just gives me major Travis Hackett Vibes...

I mean:

I sense there’s trouble ahead.

It’s clear by the signs and warnings

that should tell where all blame is due.

So why are they pointing at my head?

And

I need you to see through my act,

to tell me I’m wrong, to take off the mask,

or else I’ll be left in the lie.

I’ll deceive my way straight to demise.

And

My life’s become this grand game of deception.

My mind’s ignored all my heart’s good intentions.

I'm not imagining this, right???
