Fandom question:

[shiegra]

I have seen a few authors in different fandoms who had no ship in their relationship tag, but instead added something like "No shipping because I hate all the ships" or even just "Shipping sucks". I always found those tag rude and needlessly aggressive, but I never know if they are an offense that I should report or not? And if yes what does that even count as?

Thank you so much for always taking the time to answer all your asks so in-depth, you're always a great help!

About three years ago now, a Policy & Abuse (PAC) volunteer did a takeover of this blog and answered a similar question. It's been three years, so things might have changed, but if they haven't then this doesn't seem reportable to me.

The reason why I say that is because those example tags don't insult specific people or threaten violence against anyone. You can read that linked response to get the full picture, but that's my summary.

That said, PAC is a lovely team of people, and they're happy to answer questions about the Terms of Service as well as questions like this one. You can always report 1 work that you see with tags like that (instead of a whole bunch) and ask them whether that kind of tag is reportable. If things have changed in the last few years, they'll be able to let you know. Otherwise, they'll tell you that it's not reportable and you'll know for certain.

Do not think for a moment that this admin is only going after trans folks. They are ultimately going after the whole LGBTQ community. They start small, like getting rid of a hotline option, then go BIG.

people in books and tv shows are always getting so upset they throw an untouched meal in the trash. that would never be me. i'd receive the worst news of my life and still be like Let me put this in the fridge.

Woah, you draw that character so skinny! They're so shaped haha. Yeah they're so huggable haha. It's not how I see that character but you've got your thing going. Yeah I'm just really not into skinny characters I mean to me it's disgusting and fetishistic but you do you. I mean it's just that it's just kind of glorifying being unhealthy you know? Like I don't hate skinny people but I just worry about them you know. I feel kinda bad for them. But it's ok for you to draw them skinny! You've obviously got your own issues and I know what it's like to project on characters :P I hope you get better soon. Have you thought of trying this medicine that no one's done thorough research on to eradicate people of your weight even when it doesn't cause them or anyone any issues? What? No no I love the shapes you've drawn haha I mean it's great. Personally I can't draw skinny people I did try like look this character they're slightly skinnier than my usual. Why are you criticising me? No I'm not skinny-phobic i just really don't like drawing them,,,, it's just hard you know? It's just not my headcanon anyway, sorry. More power to you though!! It's great we have such a diverse community so that freaks - sorry I mean people like you can express themselves. Wow!

(reply to the kroger & walmart chicken fettucine alfredo listeria outbreak)

hey holy shit. the sound I made when I read this. this is exactly why the chicken fettucine recall is so scary, it is such a huge comfort food and a bunch of folks eat it while pregnant. I am so fucking glad my post found you and that you got medical attention right away.

yours is an example of doing exactly the right thing: listeria is especially dangerous while pregnant, and there are antibiotics that can be prescribed for high-risk folks during the early stages of symptoms or even before symptoms begin. and while listeria can take up to 80 days to cause illness, it can also cause issues within hours or days of eating contaminated food.

for you and for everyone else trying to avoid the general news right now, here is a list to help keep up with recalls and foodborne illness outbreaks in the united states since I do not post all of them:

FDA recall list (food, drug, medical device, etc recalls with press announcements, usually bigger food recalls have announcements)

FDA enforcement reports (more recalls go here, but more difficult to navigate than the recall list with announcements)

USDA FSIS recall list (they cover different food than FDA, especially meat. the chicken fettucine alfredo recall was posted here)

NHTSA recall list (vehicles, car seats, tires, and equipment recalls!)

CPSC recall and safety warning list (products! there have been a LOT of recalls of baby stuff recently!)

FDA outbreak investigations (you can see the status of outbreaks as they happen and get investigated, this is often where recalls start)

CDC active investigations of foodborne illness outbreaks (outbreaks can have both an FDA page and a CDC page. they cover different information)

foodsafetynews (news about food safety ONLY! not a government source. mostly focused on the US and canada, but also news around the world. some of what they post involves commentary on the current administration, BUT they post about bigger and more relevant recalls that wind up in the ever-tricky FDA enforcement reports.)

best of luck to you and your baby, and make sure you get plenty of rest!!!!!

In my opinion it's a lot more healthy to be able to own that you dislike someone for petty reasons than to do all kinds of mental gymnastics to make everyone you don't really vibe with out to be a bad person actually

Tumblr is good for creative types because the tag system lets you be truly deranged about how much you like it without feeling as Exposed as a Comment Section
