[ID 1: A seven-panel "Pills that make you green" comic, showing simplistic digital stick figures for people. Panel 1 shows a lime green person on the Left, saying, "It's important that you center lime green people, who are the most marginalized in the green community!" On the right is a dark green person shouting, "No! It's moss green people who have it worse, and when you don't mention us while talking about your own experiences you're erasing us!". A leaf green person stands in the center silently. Panel 2 zooms in on the leaf green person in the center, showing them thinking, "I uh, I think I actually prefer arguing with greenphones to whatever this is", while those on either shout repeatedly, "Lime! Lime!! Lime!!" and "Moss! Moss!! Moss!!!". Panel 3 shows a plain black stick figure that walks up, saying, "Just to be clear I literally don't know what the difference between the three of you even is. Also, my absolute revulsion at the very idea of you is driving policy. We're trying to pass a bill to put you all in the contraption.". The three green people stare from the side. Panel 4 shows a zoom in on the green people's heads as they stand next to eachother. The lime green person says, "They meant I'm going in it first.". Moss green says, "No they meant me" The leaf green person says, "I think there maybe shouldn't be a contraption". Panel 5 shows the non-green person say, "Finally, you're starting to see my point". The leaf green person says, "what" while off to the side, Lime green and moss green continue to argue. The non-green person continues, "Green people will always fight to be the most oppressed. It's about being the biggest victim". Leaf green responds, "No, what the fuck?" Panel 6 zooms in on the leaf green person as they continue, "I'm never going to agree with you even a little bit based on this argument. Both lime green and moss green people have their own unique challenges that actually need addressing. Some individual people in this community may struggle to show solidarity with each other, but that doesn't delegitimize the real problems they have. Also, you're literally causing those problems." Panel 7 shows the three green people lounging on a large couch. Lime green says, "Wow I'm so glad we beat up that guy together". Leaf green says, "Yeah it was cool to just straight up do violence for our rights". Moss green says, "And it was cool to share experiences afterwards so that we could understand each other better!".

[describe-things]

This post is made with speech to text because my hand hurts from typing so much today. Please forgive any typos or speech to text swapping similar sounding words.

If you would like to start writing your own image descriptions, feel free to ask any questions.

The main things to keep in mind is that they should begin with some variation of image description start or ID, and end with some variation of image description and, and ID or something like that. This distinguish the image description from the caption or anything else.

Image descriptions should not be written in italics, bold, all caps, or any colors. If text in the image is in all caps, write it in regular case, and simply note before or after it that it's in all caps.

Image descriptions should describe all images in the post, without skipping any. This includes images that are nothing but text.

Plain text image descriptions in the body of the post are more accessible than alt text alone, because many people who need image descriptions cannot use alt text, and Tumblr is known for its glitches, so the accessibility of the alt text all by itself varies widely over time.

It is more accessible to have the image descriptions indented than not, because this helps to visually separate the image description from the caption. Having brackets or parentheses at the end is also helpful for this. This allows people to easily distinguish between the caption and the image description if they need to.

If you are an artist, writing image descriptions for your art will give you full control over the image description, and will allow you to correctly identify details that others might miss. This gives you the opportunity to show which parts of your art hold meaning to you and are important to notice.

If you are describing real people who are unknown to you, unless it is specified within the post or you are already aware, please do not assign any gendered terms to them, or any " male presenting or female presenting" terms like that. This is completely unnecessary and leads to misgendering. It is best to simply describe visible facts about the people. Hair color, length, clothes and style, pose, expression, the light or darkness of their skin, things like that. Do not assume that someone is white simply because they have light skin.

Do not use image descriptions to lie to the audience in any way and do not use image descriptions to make jokes where the audience reading the image description is the butt of the joke.

As an example, if there is a very clearly fake screenshot, do not say that it is simply a screenshot, or if a photo is very blatantly photoshopped, do not say that it is simply a photo. Say an edited photo, a badly edited photo, a screenshot with editing, something like that to indicate the changes have been made and then what you are going to be describing is not the natural version.

As an example, you would say a crab photoshopped to be driving a car. Rather than a photo of a crab driving a car.

Unless you are transcribing a text within the image, do not use meme speak within image descriptions. Do not refer to dogs as doggos for example, unless it is to specify that the dog in the image is, within the image, labeled as a doggo. Do not describe someone walking downstairs as breasted bubbly downstairs, even if it is an actor humorously walking down the stairs to imitate that sentence. Describe the facts of the movements, and then you can make the comparison for clarity.

If someone adds an image description to your post whether this be an original post or a reblog that you have added an image to, it doesn't matter how many notes to post already has, please copy and paste that image description into the original post or your original reblog. If it is a new post that has only a few notes from friends, after you update the original, you can just ask your friends to delete the reblogs of the inaccessible version and reblog the new one. Most people who are good people and care about disabled people will happily do so.

Keep in mind that image descriptions are accessibility tools. Treat them as such.

Anyone can write image descriptions. You do not need any special qualifications or training. As long as you are willing to take constructive criticism if you make a mistake, an image description written by someone who's new to it and honestly doing their best with good intentions is better than no image description at all.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some things, so please feel free to add on more tips and advice.

EDIT: This post was made about the first wave of basic barebone copy-and-paste scams.

I’m disabling reblogs because this information is now outdated when it comes to identifying vetted fundraisers, and I don’t want to scare people into not supporting real campaigns

If someone sends you an ask asking for help in Gaza, look for vetting done by a real person (do NOT trust ones that simply claim they are vetted if you don’t SEE the vetting), and check that their gofundme address isn’t clearly publicly listed in some other place. Then reblog their post. And block writing-prompt-s or anyone else that runs actual genocide survivors off the platform with poorly researched scam accusations

original post:

so apparently the tumblr donation scam farms are moving in on Palestine; this includes both slapping basic phrases like "Free Palestine" into their blog headers, but also some of them go so far as to claim they are Palestinian refugees who need donations.

Here is your routine reminder that whenever you receive an ask in your inbox requesting donations, check their ass. 19 times out of 20 it'll be a brand new blog who reblogged a few posts to seem older than they are, is sending out spam asks to random blogs, and will be deleted in a few days once they've already scammed people.

Check their blog's age by trying to scroll to the bottom and checking the post timestamps. Turn on post timestamps by going to Settings > General Settings > Dashboard Preferences. On any device, you can also see when a post was made by clicking on the 3 dots at the top right of it. Scam blogs reblog an amount of posts to try to seem like they aren't brand new and pretend to have older accounts, and it’s very successful against people who don’t scroll down enough.

Check the location and area code of a PayPal link where/if it says something like country.x=xx. The xx will be a country code. Most tumblr donation scams are for some reason in the Philippines and will have the code PH. No I am not saying to distrust anyone in the Philippines who needs donations, but if a brand new blog is claiming to be a refugee in the Middle East but their PayPal link is from halfway across the world, then well...

Reverse-image search any of the images they use and find if it was stolen somewhere. Remember that these images are often edited to prevent people from easily doing this, and this is not reliable but can be an easy sign if successful

Be careful with blogs that request people send donations through "Friends and Family" on PayPal because you cannot refund money sent in this manner. This isn’t a dealbreaker as many regular users also request this to avoid fines, but is an addendum to scam blogs when enough other red flags are raised. It isn’t unusual for them to insist on receiving money through FaF to the point that some will refund money not sent through that manner to prevent accountability

Follow scam busting blogs like Kyra45 that might pull up evidence you otherwise would not have access to. I guess I'm going to start bringing back my habit of recording the exact paypal addresses that scam blogs use which has sometimes been the only evidence of a new donation blog being a scam, and no one would know this if I hadn't been tracking them

It is disgusting that people would take advantage of an ongoing genocide for their own gain. Please remember to keep an eye out for yourself and the people you follow reblogging suspicious donation posts trying to steal aid from people undergoing a tragedy

[describe-things]

[ID 1: A screenshot of Twitter(?) showing a post by the use "reachartwork on tumblr & bsky", reading, "Extremely funny to me that just like 5 years ago everyone was (somewhat rightfully) making fun of the concept of ai/robots being used as a racism allegory in sci fi, because obviously nobody would ever treat a robot like that,and then, well". The post was made on April 25th, 2024. It has 4,537 views. Below this is a reply by Moisty that says, "well what there is no true AI yet only really advanced (machine learning)". The original poster responds with a link to a wikipedia page titled "AI effect". End ID 1.]

[ID 2: A picture of a Tesla brand robot prototype(?) standing against a grey wall. It has a blank black face like a screen or the glass that covers the camera, and white and black metal plating with "Tesla" written on the chest. It is posed to have one hand raised in a fist. End Id 2.]

i do think it's funny the amount of "ai artists" who will genuinely argue that the ways machine learning algorithms produce art is "basically the same" as the way humans create art, because if that is true than like. you're not really "creating art" your just commissioning a robot to do it for you, which like is fine but when i commission human artists to draw weird porn for me, i don't than take credit for coming up with the idea cause that's kinda silly.

[lazyfanphilosopher]

The continuous bombardment and the ongoing genocide pose a significant threat to their well-being. What pains me even more is that due to the lack of medications in Gaza, my Mom, who is a type 2 Diabetis patiant and was scheduled for an urgent eye surgery, have had no access to insulin or any medical care for the past 3 months. Some of my family members sought refuge in the southernmost part of Gaza (Rafah) in tents. However, my parents, and sisters have no alternative place to stay, forced to remain in the Nusierat refugee camp, which is now the subject of continuous severe bombardment since christmas started.” Am on my knees requesting for your donations. Please help where possible.

Scams like this are actually so disgusting.

i know i already made a post about this today, but i’m being serious when i’m saying that y’all should start providing alt/plain text and other accessibilities on your posts. this is coming from someone who personally has genuine issues reading colored texts, varied font types and sizes, typing quirks, and images with text. i understand that you may have a specific aesthetic, but that should not be prioritized over making our alterhuman community on tumblr accessible for everyone. it doesn’t have to be difficult and complex, just copy and paste everything and then set it to the original text settings. you can even put it under a cut so it doesn’t disrupt the aesthetic of your posts. and while we’re at the topic, image ids (or descriptions under “alt”!), gif warnings (especially for fast gifs), and eyestrain warnings are also some more simple things that could just be put in posts/tags to make our community more accessible for all alterhumans. and when i’m talking about alt/plain texts, i am including when you wish to make jokes. it’s upsetting when others make jokes and i’m left out because i struggle to read to the joke in the first place. i want to be able to be in on things in the community, but it’s really hard to do it because of the lack of alt text and plain text. again, understand thinking it’s pretty or thinking it looks nice but i’m also asking you to please consider making it accessible for those who have trouble reading things like this. i know it’s hard to change things about such a large community, but i’ve seen it happen before so i feel like we could try and do something like it again.

i’m especially putting this for double if you use a dni banner or do not use plain text (not censored unless it is in a way that can still be easily deciphered by either eyes or a screen reader). if i cannot read your banner, i do not know if i can interact or not, defeating the whole purpose of a dni.

lastly, if you are using colored text, me and other alterhumans that have struggles with reading that would likely appreciate if you put the tag “#colored text” on the posts using it so we can having a warning beforehand. this way, we don’t have to filter out your username or block you because both feel incredibly disrespectful to do (at least imo).

i as of right now cannot think of anything else to say, but i am open to speak about this if you do so civilly.

[ID: White bubble text on a black background that reads, "Please describe your art! I am too disabled to keep up with you all!". Next to this is an original Flatland character, Hauntlight, an Irregular line who has many bends, and whose back end branches out into a narrow fork. It has a white glow on its outside, and its insides are filled with simple blobs of different shades of purple and pink to show its internal organs. End ID.]

The goal for this blog was feasable when it was only a few people posting, but now with the sudden surge of new fans posting undescribed art every single day, I literally have no hope of keeping up unless other people start describing their own art, or at least adding descriptions to other people's.

If someone adds an image description to your art, copy and paste it into the original post. It should be in the same format as the one on this post: Plain regular text with no italics, color, or bold. Describe what is in the image. Pretend your friend's internet isn't working and the image won't load for them.

A plain text image description is more accessible than ALT text alone, because tumblr is glichy as all crap, and even if the ALT text is working fine today, it might not be tomorrow, or a few months from now. For several months they literally had the ALT text be white text on a neon purple background. Do not trust tumblr's staff to keep their accessability features actually accessible. They break this site all the time. Plain text in the body of the post itself, like all of this whole post is, is less likely to be broken by glitches and changes to the site.

Image descriptions are for blind and low vision people the way subtitles are for the deaf and hard of hearing, as well as people with brain damage who can see fine, but still struggle to process images.

Learning to describe your art will make you a better writer and artist. It will allow disabled people to appreciate your art. It will make this fandom, and any other fandoms you make art for, more welcoming for disabled people, and will make the internet overall more accessible.

Please start adding plain text image descriptions to your art. There are hundreds of tutorials on tumblr alone you can find, and many blogs dedicated solely to creating image descriptions that you can follow to see more examples.

Image descriptions should go directly below the image they are describing, above any other commentary. Do not put them at the very bottom of the post if the image is the first thing in the post.

Also, do not put anything you wouldn't be okay with losing forever under a read-more. If you ever delete the original post, change your username, or have your blog terminated, everything under a read-more will be deleted forever, because the link breaks.

This is why image descriptions should not go under read-mores unless the images they're describing are also under it.

Please add image descriptions to your art before you post it. I could slowly work my way through the fandom's posts when it was only a few people, but this is just becoming unmanageable and I don't want to have to give up from being completley overwhelmed.

Make image descriptions for your own art. Make them for other's art. At the very very least, when someone makes one for your art, add it to the original post. Please. Irregulars are in this fandom too.

Hello! Someone reposted your work(s) over wattpat, their username is @smileybannana

Just wanted to let you know, have a nice day!

(Btw yours is in the ‘Avengers tumblr fluff’ book)

Thank you so much for telling me!

I checked the account and it is not showing up anywhere so I guess the reports have worked.

I know this person probably just enjoyed these fics and wanted to share them but posting content that is not your own without the owner knowing is not OK.

There is a reason why some works are not on some platforms and it is in the hand of the creator to decide which way they want to share their hard worked-on content.

So, please. Even if you want to “help”, just enjoy the work as it is and where it is. Comment, like, reblog or (if you may) share the link to the original but do not just copy paste the actual thing into your own accounts. If the owner wants help spreading their talent they’ll let you know. I, for one, explicitly write not to share on any other site than the ones I post on. People have reasons and those should be respected.

Here are some examples:

Posting things that are not your own may lead to confusion about authorship. Even if you do credit the original creator, the recognition for them can be deminished - we don’t want that.

Copying and pasting things into another platform may alter the original. This could (in the worst case) lead to a misinterpretation of the original author’s intent. Altering someone’s creative vision is not what anyone involved in the process wants - don’t do it.

Reposting without consent is simply violating property and copywriting law. Creators earn their right to control what they put out as much as they are responsible for how it gets out and who gets to see it. Don’t take that control away from them. Having your own shit ripped away from you is not nice - just stop it.

And lastly, coming from a place of constant evolvement and self improvement, creators want to be able to see the feedback their work gets. If it is puplished on an account that they do not have access to, it strips away the opportunity to interact with recipients and possibly grow with their responses. You’re keeping kindness and improvement away from the creator you adore and interfere with their way of making more and better content that you could enjoy - please don’t.

I hope this opened some eyes or helped in any way. Please respect creators and keep to their guidelines on how to share their work. Copyright is important, so please spread awareness.

Did you like this little snippet of backstory info? We have done some work for you, and put together a Google Doc Template to help people keep up with their character information!! It is EXTREMELY THOROUGH, and not intended to be filled out all at once!! The idea was that as you continue to roleplay, you will have a category for nearly every piece of info you come up with for your muse, and this document will help you keep it all together! We made this when we realized how many little Lore bits were getting thought up and lost. Think of it like a Wiki Page for your OC, that you can edit at any time!!!

A few things before we give you the link!!

-> this is a GOOGLE DOCUMENT that you will be making a COPY of. It is not an official template, so when you make a copy, we will have no record of which users have made it. (I've checked, I know that would make some people uncomfortable, which I completely understand.) Below is a record of the Document access history AFTER I shared it with members of our RP IT team for a test run. As you can see, only the Creator email is reported.

-> This link will ONLY work if you are logged in to a Google account. If you do not have a google account, We are more than happy for you to receive it copy-pasted from a friend who does!! This document is completely free, and we are happy for everyone who wants to use it to have the opportunity to do so!! (This also goes for anyone who still prefers not to retrieve it with their own email. Please share it around amongst yourselves however you would like.)

-> When you open this link, it should prompt you by asking Do you want to make a COPY of "Riordanverse Roleplay OC Character Profile Template"? If the prompt for ANY REASON takes you straight to the original document without making a COPY, PLEASE do not edit the original, DM us and we'll see if we can help.

Once you have made your copy, you're free to edit it however you like!!! We borrowed some outlines and did some ourselves, and our contributors are sourced at the top of the document for you. We hope you enjoy it!! Here's the link!!

You wanna ask about me or Skull, I aint gonna stop you. Make sure you're prepared for the answer, though!

[ About ]

Hey what's up it's me Lane (main is @wandering-lane) I went insane. Again. Uhhhhhhhhhhh. Guzma Team Skull. Little guy.

You may recognize this blog from a previous, identical one, @g-zma. That's because it's the same blog. I just lost access to the previous one, so instead of rebooting it there, I'm just. Making a new one. The entire intro is copied and pasted from that original blog though (albeit with some minor editions)!

This blog is going to be a complete reset of that one. It's the same Guzma, and I'll be playing him the same way, but none of the previous situations, relationships, or otherwise are relevant.

Disclaimer!

This blog will have themes of child abuse, alcohol abuse, and manipulation. It will also often have pictures/discussions of bugs. If these things bother you, I recommend that you don't follow.

Also! Guzma will probably threaten to beat you up. Does that mean he'll follow up with that and actually beat you up? Probably not. That depends on why he's threatening to beat you up.

Here's a link to a big post where I ramble about his relationships to other characters throughout the game!

I don't have much else to say here other than this is post-game. This is SPECIFICALLY sun. Because that's the one I played. No ultra sun whatnot stuff.

Anyways.

Simple Accessibility Tips

[Plain Text: Simple Accessibility Tips. End PT]

Here are some small things you can do to make your blog more accessible:

Colors

[PT: Colors. End PT]

Are the colors on your blog (font and background) bright enough to cause eye strain and migraines? Is it hard to look at? I know you love your bright neon colors, but you are making your page inaccessible and unsafe.

Do the colors contrast enough to be readable for people with low vision and/or color blindness? Webaim's contrast checker can help you find out!

A detailed post on using contrast checker can be found [here]!

Coloring for Color Blindness is another great resource for this.

2. Tagging

[PT: Tagging. End PT]

Tags like #eyestrain, #bright colors, #flashing, #no ID or #undescribed, #color(ed) text, #not screenreader friendly, #caps. etc can help people avoid content that would be harmful or inaccessible to them. Please use them when appropriate!

Don't tag flashing images with #epilepsy or similar tags! It makes it unsafe for epileptic people to search the tag for their own community.

3. Plain text

[PT: Plain text. End PT]

Formatting like colored text, italics, bold, underlined text, stricken text, 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐬, other font sizes, and ALL CAPS can be difficult to read for both people and screen-readers alike for many reasons! Even titles and large text can become unreadable when a device's font size is already set on high.

If your content is really heavy on these, maybe consider posting and linking a separate version of the post with only plain text.

Please provide a plain text alternative to these like the example below:

[Plain Text: colored text, italics, bold, underlined text, stricken text, other fonts, other font sizes, and all caps. End PT]

4. Descriptions

[PT: Descriptions. End PT]

Before reblogging something, check the notes and sort by comments only to see if there's an ID in the notes you can reblog from!

If you write an ID, never put it under a readmore. If you change your url, the link will break and the description will be gone forever. It also makes the description harder to access and makes it require extra steps, which is not accessible.

[PT: never put it under a readmore. End PT]

Descriptions should always be in plain text!

If someone adds an image description to your post, make sure you copy and paste the ID into the original post!!

I suggest putting a short summary of the image in the Alt Text and then a more comprehensive summary in the ID below. Find out more about this and why in the link below.

I've made a whole other post about image descriptions to check out for how to write one, resources, and more info! Check it out here: [Link]

This disability pride month, take the time to make your blog more accessible. A more accessible internet can start with you! If I've said anything incorrect, please let me know so I can correct it ASAP.

Heyyy Inky!!! Guess who it is! (jk) It's me Galaxy!! I've written the DWM song!!! And recorded it! It's called 'One Drink'. (hehe) It's not done professionally in any way, shape or form, but it's certainly finished. It's just a demo of me singing (badly-ish, ignore my baby voice gah I sound like a twelve year old) with a guitar backing, but I do imagine that if I ever do record this, it will be with more instruments than just guitar. 😅 I really really really really hope you like it. Really. Think of it as a love letter from me to you for writing DWM, because it really has been a major part of my life <3 This link will take you to the audio recording (it's on a google drive. Copy and paste it into your browser!): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QWXoZ8yZHFXhCAlHE4OZURTQGXzL9tlU/view?usp=sharing And I WAS gonna include a link to a google doc with the lyrics on it... but tumblr's being fussy and won't let me insert it. So, I've decided to just put the lyrics at the bottom of this ask, which is gonna make it very long but oh well. Shit happens. Also, if the audio recording link doesn't work - please please please tell me. I'll figure out another way to send it!

Anyway, the recording is accessible for anyone to copy into their preferred browser to listen to (if it works), so if any other DWM fans see this feel free to listen/read! Again, I hope you like it, Inky. Love you and everything you do <3 - Galaxy P.S. Inky, I would love love love to know every single one of your thoughts on lyrics as well if that's possible!

One Drink - Lyrics. A DWM song <3

Saint was a sinner

And he was feared by almost everyone

He was a ruthless killer 

A devil, modern to our time. 

She, oh she wasn’t perfect 

But compared to him; an angel from our sky.

Astrid. Always searching for her horizon

But it seemed like something she could never find.

She shared a drink with him one night

Apparently she’s the only one that would 

He pulled the bottle off the shelf, his inhibitions down you can tell

There’s something he’s suppressed

And the walls began to fall

I guess opposites attract after all

One drink that started it all x3

They, oh they weren’t perfect

They would fight all the time like you and I

One fight, got a little too consuming 

The pain was a knife through her heart 

He thought he jinxed them

He thought this one was a little too far gone

Their only saving grace was the rose tattoo upon her waist 

A symbol that in time they’d be alright

And the walls began to fall

I guess opposites attract after all

One drink that started it all x 6

Saint was a sinner

But she found her horizon in his eyes 

GALAXYYYY

I'm squeezing you so tight that you'll need to visit a chiropractor to straighten you back out again. I absolutely love this and i'm so honoured that my story inspired you to create a whole ass SONG?! Thank you so so much.

Also what are you on about singing badly? You've got a great voice! Really pure and folksy - it suits the style of song so well, especially with a solo guitar. Can totally picture you singing this song at nighttime sitting by a campfire with the local townspeople hanging off your every word. Also it's so damn catchy - I was already singing the chorus to myself after just the first listen (I may have listened to it 10 or 20 times since hehe)

Here's a one click link for anyone who wants to listen to Galaxy's amazing song!

And I LOVE all the lyrics! They convey the core essence of Silco and Astrid's characters and story so effectively. That's some serious skill my friend. You did in 200 words what it took me over 138k words to do lmfao.

I started to attempt to write out all my thoughts on the lyrics in this post but I had so many thoughts that it quickly proved too crazy to format on tumblr. SO, I put them in a google doc instead lmfao. You should be able to see my comments on the highlighted text but tell me if not.

Thank you again, truly from the bottom of my heart.
