Offener Brief an tumblr:

Seit ca 9/2022 werde ich von Euch @staff nicht mehr Featured... ich werde nur mehr von meinen followers 🫶🏽 und user Suchanfragen Featured..

Warum? Ich bin seit 2011 ein hardcore Dumblr Benutzer, ist das euer Umgang & dank?

Das ist pure Schikane und Willkür und eine unart von mobbing und Diskrimierung.

Warum macht Ihr alles so mühsam 😥?

Diskriminierung und mobbing ist in der realen Welt illegal sowie hier in der Virtualität auch!

Bitte ändert eure Algorithmen wieder, keine Ahnung ich welcher Kategorie ich derzeit ausharren muss

Recht herzlich bedankt

Open letter to tumblr:

Since 9/2022 I am no longer featured by you @staff... I am only featured by my followers and user Tag searches 🔍 ..

Why? I've been a hardcore Dumblr user since 2011, is that your dealings & thanks?

This is pure harassment and arbitrariness and a bad habit of mobbing and discrimination.

Why are you making everything so difficult 😥?

Discrimination and mobbing is illegal in the real world as well as here in virtuality!

Please change your algorithms again, I have no idea which category I have to endure at the moment

Thank you very much

Lettre ouverte à tumblr :

Depuis 9/2022, je ne suis plus présenté par vous @staff... Je ne suis présenté que par mes abonnés et les annonces de recherche d'utilisateurs..

Pourquoi? Je suis un utilisateur inconditionnel de Dumblr depuis 2011, est-ce que c'est votre affaire et merci ?

C'est du pur harcèlement et de l'arbitraire et une mauvaise habitude de mobbing et de discrimination.

Pourquoi rendez-vous tout si difficile 😥?

La discrimination et le mobbing sont illégaux dans le monde réel comme ici dans la virtualité !

Veuillez modifier à nouveau vos algorithmes, je n'ai aucune idée de la catégorie que je dois endurer pour le moment

Merci beaucoup

Carta abierta a tumblr:

Desde el 9/2022, @staff ya no me presenta a usted... Solo me presentan mis seguidores y los anuncios de búsqueda de usuarios.

¿Por qué? He sido un usuario empedernido de Dumblr desde 2011, ¿es ese tu trato y gracias?

Esto es puro acoso y arbitrariedad y una mala costumbre de mobbing y discriminación.

¿Por qué haces todo tan difícil 😥?

¡La discriminación y el mobbing son ilegales tanto en el mundo real como aquí en la virtualidad!

Cambie sus algoritmos nuevamente, no tengo idea de qué categoría tengo que soportar en este momento

Muchas gracias

Dal 9/2022 non sono più presente da te @staff... Sono presente solo dai miei follower e dagli annunci di ricerca degli utenti..

Questa è pura molestia e arbitrarietà e una cattiva abitudine di mobbing e discriminazione.

Perché rendi tutto così difficile 😥?

Per favore cambia di nuovo i tuoi algoritmi, non ho idea di quale categoria devo sopportare al momento

Hey Rosey, how are you? I hope I'm not interrupting but I really, really, need help. One of the people that I love and admire is you, and knowing that you do art is a relief.

See, I have this problem regarding my art style. I just started a week ago and during that time, it's been tiring but surprisingly rewarding and fulfilling. I haven't done art before, and the only part of art that I amateurly mastered were the eyes, now, the way I draw eyes is just plain and chibi.

To further explain, I'll tell you the whole timeline.

I started making this on Nov. 6, this was my very first digital art, this is also when I was oblivious to art in general. I finished it in Nov. 7 and while bad and just plain ugly, I was happy with it so I continued.

Here is my second digital art. I started this from Nov. 8-11. To be honest, I was surprised by what I made. I honestly though I was going to get something ugly but....it was surprisingly decent. I showed it to my friends and peers, and they expressed positive reviews. That gave me the motivation to further enhance my amateur skills.

Now, this was made during Nov. 12-13. I wanted to focus on drawing the head, I also wanted to properly color and blur, add highlights and all that. And well, I was Really happy. I could actually see my progress. And I've never been happier. I showed this to my friends and they told me that I was progressing at an outstanding rate. I was ecstatic, and well, it gave me even more motivation.

Now, here's where the problem arises. On Nov. 14, I wanted to start focusing on the body, however, when i was ready to start drawing, it was like....I forgot how to draw.

I tried to draw eyes. But somehow, a simple, straight line appeared to be ugly. I kept erasing and deleting layers and just kept starting over, but whenever I finish a simple sketch. It was just plain UGLY. I never seemed to be satisfied with anything.

I changed direction, I tried drawing circles with IbisPaint X's ruler, but the shape seemed to be at the wrong position despite being on the center. I also had this perception where the circle seemed wonky. And I was using a ruler. A RULER, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A PERFECT CIRCLE.

Im got frustrated, and kept trying for the past few days. I asked my friends if loosing your art style or just forgetting how to draw is normal, that it's fine, and they told me it it, they say they get it all the time. But it never seemed to make my panic settle.

I searched online and it said that I have art block. It said that I was getting used to using the same style for so long despite only drawing for a week.

With you being an artist, I wanted to ask.

*Is this really normal? Is it normal to suddenly forget how to draw? How everything you draw seemed to be ugly?

*Do you have any advice on how I should handle this?

With every day that passes, I get more and more discouraged. I'm borderline hysterical, I want to cry and scream.

I need help. Please....

I'm so sorry that this post is so long, but you are someone who I can trust in this. I apologize if I'm disturbing you, and you are free to delete this. Just know that I am giving you a choice.

Again. Thank you, and Goodbye.

Firstly, I want to say your art is absolutely lovely. All three of them are wonderful.

Secondly, yeah it's normal. I get that sometimes where I'm just not happy with what I draw and it happens a lot with my writing even. I think it's just something that happens with all creative things, it's okay.

I don't know if I'm really the person to ask about what to do about it though. Because when I get that way I just... don't draw. Don't write, don't really do anything until I get the will to pick up the pencil again. That usually helps me, especially when I get frustrated with a drawing. I'll sometimes just abandon that drawing too and do/draw something else. And there's nothing wrong with that, it's a part of the creative process really.

I guess I'd just suggest taking a break from it. If you really want to draw, you could try something else? Drawing humans are hard, I will say. Even chibi humans. You could try something more abstract, I like drawing butterflies, flowers (these are hard too though), and decorative hearts. Just low effort doodles that can look really nice once finished.

Don't give yourself too much of a hard time about this. Art is hard, it can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. Plus you're still learning! It's the time to make "bad art" and mistakes. Try things out and learn what you like and what you don't. All artists are their own worst critic. If you're frustrated and not having fun, just try take a step back and relax. It'll still be there to come back to and try again later. It's okay.

. "Committed to occasional intervention when one of you nearly gets your head blown off," he replied, voice gruff. He was still crouched where he'd been in the remains of a half-collapsed building some feet above her. Across the way was the corpse of the man who'd nearly killed her, Talon insignia reflecting the light. Most of Overwatch was nearby, likely on the lookout for her in the near future. He didn't intend to stick around that long.

. "Stick with the team," he finally added, standing.

ppl are too quick to point to laios' disability as the reason his friends think he's a freak sometimes. so many instances of laios getting yelled at are, in my eyes, a case of "this guy had to emotionally mature very early in order to be there for his little sister" combined with "much older friends who never had to learn to manage their own emotions to the same degree"

a lot of the time he's right about needing to be more direct/deal with things in a way that may seem scary/needing to put your gut reaction aside. he tries not to make his friends uncomfortable and he puts up with a lot because he's trying to keep the peace, but he also pushes the others out of their comfort zones purposefully to try to get them to think more constructively. everyone else in the party is prone to acting on their gut instincts and avoiding uncomfortable situations even when facing them head-on is very much necessary. part of what makes laios such a great leader is the fact that he knows from experience how to put his own feelings aside to help someone else grow.

yes, he does make a lot of social blunders by accident and he does struggle to connect with others, but not all of his positive influence on others is accidental or "despite" making people uncomfortable. a lot of the time, I think it's clear he knows exactly what he's doing and he's trying to help the people around him process emotions in a healthy way as they all go through some truly harrowing shit. all the main characters support each other as well as they can with their unique emotional skillsets. laios' skillset just happens to be "gently talk child into eating her vegetables"

If you're asking "why are western christians not condemning the bombing of palestinian churches?!" I would highly recommend researching and reading up on the term "Biblical Orientalism"; it's the same reason European and American missionaries have attempted to "convert" the already Christian Arab population.

If you've already figured out that the answer is racism, you'd be right, but I would still recommend reading about biblical orientalism if only to fully understand this specific flavor of racism, how it affects Christian Palestinians, and how it is weaponized in the context of Zionism.
