tumblr's official response to the Clown Ad

(I have an ad blocker- I don't NEED to pay tumblr). I paid for ad-free browsing because I want to support the site which I have made my on-line home for over 10 years. they made some positive changes this past year--until August I was hopeful...

Then they blocked my access with a Clown on my dash. An AD! Advertising a TV show during an actors/writers Strike...

so I wrote an official complaint- demanding a refund of my Ad-Free subscription:

Sep 3, 2023, 12:56 PM EDT

hullo- i have an active paid subscription to Ad Free Browsing. last week for several days - a large ad (for a netflix show??!) was placed OVER the right side of my dash and account info. I could not access the "next" button to move through my previous dashboard pages. additionally- the ad was visually Disturbing, and clicking it by accident caused changes to my dash that I did not want or ask for. I'm visually impaired and These changes to the background made it impossible to use the site. I had to use an external browser extension to find and disable this element. DESPITE HAVING PAID YOU TO NOT SEE ADS. THIS is unacceptable. I would like a refund of my ad free subscription.

This is the official message:

Hey there, Thanks for reaching out and sharing your feedback. What you're seeing is a Tumblr takeover in partnership with Netflix's One Piece. An Ad-Free subscription doesn't prevent you from seeing occasional Tumblr takeovers or other special editorial content. There is some more infomation about this here under the section "Promotional Content":  https://help.tumblr.com/hc/en-us/articles/4418605293975-Ad-Free-Browsing#promotional-content The One Piece takeover is wrapping up soon, so you should soon see your dashboard return to normal.  We've always been up front about Ad-Free excluding Tumblr takeovers and editorial content, so this wouldn't constitute a breech of any agreement, and we're not able to offer any pro-rated refunds on annual Ad-Free subscriptions. However, we appreciate you sharing your feedback with us, and we're taking the feedback received during this promotion into consideration to help inform our decisions about how Ad-Free should work in the future. So we really appreciate you reaching out and sharing your thoughts!  I hope you have a nice week, and thanks for being a part of Tumblr.

Thinking about this post about "preschool mode" and just imagining a version of a Shen Yuan who had been a preschool teacher before he transmigrated, and keeps habitually approaching all of his disciples and some of his fellow peak lords like that.

people without DID/osdd leaving the inside out 1-2 movie theaters: huh! thats cool. i guess thats what it would be like if my feelings could talk!

systems who haven't discovered they're systems yet leaving the inside out 1-2 movie theaters: thank god it's been proven normal by a metaphor in a popular movie that it's just a natural human thing to have conflicting identities with opposing feelings on our life! and also to only feel exactly like the fictional character "ukulele pichu" from the game i played as a kid when im being yelled at to do dishes by my controlling parents. i was starting to feel like maybe i was different than other people.

discovered/diagnosed systems leaving the inside out 1-2 movie teacher: did you hear that, sephiroth? they have memory pod themed popcorn containers that glow.

the sephiroth alter who can only talk like a caveman due to the period in childhood where you had to crawl under the house and paint with dirt to entertain yourself because mom and dad were too busy to talk to you: ooga wooga! joy popcorn to nourish body's one wing.

post genres that make me feel kinda weird: "do you still respect that trans girl if she's not hot? if she's a solid 3? if she looks like total dogshit? if she's a fat slob? if she still looks like an ugly dirty man?"

yeah I do actually. and i know you're trying to make a point but I think you might have some of your own appearance-based biases to unlearn?

I've managed to curate my small misogyny-free space both online and in real life, and now I'm no longer used to misogyny, it's no longer normal to me. So when I accidentally glimpse it, I'm not desensitized to it, I'm always shocked and unbelieving.

If I notice a m*n talking about a woman like she's 'just some ***' I'm immediately aware that this is in fact a demonic creature who needs to be burned. If I see anyone using a slur against women or pretending women are at fault for any of the world's issues, the hair on my neck stands up at the unbelievable amount of hatred.

Anyone implying that women should be in any way controlled, punished, forced to do anything against their will or dedicate their lives to anyone but themselves, is preposterous and villainous to me, I'm at loss that someone could even think that way about a half of the human population who are creators and administrators of life.

I know I am in a bubble, but it feels different knowing deeply in your heart that all of this is not normal, that casual or normalized hatred against women is absolutely insane, that it's sharp and painful and dehumanizing at every turn. It's insane to realize that women just have to live like this, believing all of that is normal, that I once lived like this, wondering what was wrong with me and why I couldn't just be what everyone was expecting me to.

I think still, if I can make a small space without this hate present in it, without anyone or anything implying we should be anything but free, anything but full complete human beings with absolute control over our lives, then we can strengthen and grow these spaces, and get more women in, have more women experience what life is like when hatred is removed. There is hope for women.

The movie 'Inside Out', is probably one of the best representations of DID/OSDD.

The quote "im done! You pretend to be Joy!" Is a perfect example of one of the parts in the system stepping in for the host who isn't fronting at the time.

The movie was pretty much indirectly made about systems, the struggles of systems and the inner world.

Any au that has Jason willingly working for the government even if it’s as a social worker has automatically kinda lost me because we’re talking about someone who distrusts the system so much that as a child he chose the streets over going into custody of social services. Jason’s lack of faith in institutions continues into adulthood (but also through his original Robin tenure low key), one of the most substantial differences between his and Bruce’s philosophy is the fact that Bruce puts his faith in the law and the criminal justice system while Jason decidedly does not in the slightest

According to MORE MORE JUMP!’s main story, Minori is incredibly unlucky. This is referenced in one of her Summer menu voicelines, where she says that she hasn’t had a winning icepop stick since elementary school.
