Hello sev, may i request for sub omega shalom x dom alpha fem!reader?

I'm very sure that shalom has a praise kink, I just imagine that while the reader fucks her from behind she tells her how beautiful and pretty she is and shalom shudders when she hears this.

•💜⚡anon.

hi anon! while your request is something i would enjoy, i’ve decided to officially stop taking requests. i haven’t been writing requests for a while now, but i never made a direct statement about it, which is my fault. but as of now, i do not do requests. my inbox is however, still open to chat, ramble or discuss all my listed medias/characters!

Since tumblr still hasn’t unblurred me, I’m going to take some time to tell you about one of their most secret policies:

Tumblr bans specific images. This is not a flagging thing. The image doesn’t get flagged. It gets removed from the site permanently. And I mean PERMANENTLY. There is no notification that this happens to your image because the policy is completely unofficial. There are also absolutely no guidelines to it. For instance, an image like this one is not against any tumblr community guidelines.

Yet this image when I had if as my header for my blog, to protest my previous blog’s sudden and uncalled for deletion (I had zero flagged posts, was given no warnings, and then one day I checked at two of my blogs were missing and I had a stern email from tumblr to never make a nsft blog again or else all my blogs would get deleted…yes the email said that) was removed. Not only was it removed form the posts I had made using it. They removed it from my header.

Of course, as you can see the image in no way violates the community guidelines…and even if it did, technically the official policy of tumblr is to flag the image and make it invisible to anyone but the OP. Instead this is a different far less official policy…and it seems as though it is completely within the realm of individual tumblr staff to decide what gets to count. Indeed, this is not the only image this has happened to me too. The first two blogs of mine that got deleted we’re actually nsft blogs, unlike my current blogs, they actually technically did violate tumblr guidelines…now mind you I was no longer posting original nsft content on their at time of their deletion…but still they’d previously been porn blogs. ANYWAYS…if you run a very popular nsft blog you’ll notice that your most popular post occasionally just disappear. Maybe if you’re not paying attention you presume you just can’t track it down or no one has reblogged it lately…but no, they (staff) straight up extrajudicially remove your content. I say extrajudicially because they do have official policy and protocols they should be following, aka flagging the content and/or labeling the content. But no, they fucking remove it.

And when they remove it, it’s gone for good, for everyone. For instance, the above photo, the “ew tumblr” photo…that’s not the original photo, that’s a screenshot of that photo. You can’t post the original, the code of that photo is forever banned. It’s not even just one account either. For instance, to test this, I attempted to upload an old “missing” nsft image from my original blog, which is not associated with this email, and is not even associated with my IP address. And this is what happened:

Tumblr’s transphobia runs so deep they are eager and willing to circumvent their own policies and procedures, the staff acting like thin skinned vigilantes on their own website where they held all the power to start with anyways.

eeewwwwwwwww

unblur me now staff

Sweeping changes to Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines aimed at cleaning up the polluted, confusing world of online product reviews went into effect on Monday, meaning the federal agency is now allowed to levy civil penalties against bad actors who knowingly post product reviews and testimonials deemed misleading to American consumers.

Fucking finally.

Curious to see how enforcement works, and/or if they're going after retroactive violations. Full text of the August 2024 rules change here.

If you like this kind of thing, don't let Trump back into office. Because, well, you know...

[thethief1996]

700 Palestinians were killed in the last 24 hours and the airstrikes are more violent each night. Gaza's hospitals have fuel left for two more days. Israel only allowed aid into Gaza on the condition they didn't carry fuel. The Indonesian hospital has shut down already, because doctors have no supplies and no choice but to let the wounded die. They're calling it a collapse but the term doesn't do it justice.

Over a 100 incubator babies are at risk. There are 50.000 pregnant women in Gaza right now, and 5.500 due to give birth this month. Menstruating people are taking pills in order to stop their periods, because they do not have pads or water to maintain hygiene. Surgeons are operating without anesthesia. Water is not reaching Gazans because there's no electricity or fuel for water pumps.

There's no excuse for this. Israel justifies the airstrikes by saying they want to destroy Hamas infrastructure and release the hostages, but they have refused to negotiate for their release. Hamas informed Israel they wanted to release two elderly women without anything in return, and Israel refused. Netanyahu said they wouldn't take their own civilians back because it was "mendacious propaganda." When the hostages were finally released, Netanyahu prohibited the hospital from giving press releases. Yocheved Lifshitz went behind their backs and talked to the press anyway, saying she was treated very well by Hamas, but the government abandoned them. They're being used as straw men. Israel is conditioning the entry of fuel to the release of hostages and yet, according to The Wall Street Journal, when Hamas proposed to exchange 50 hostages for fuel they denied. IDF officials have said they fear the release of more hostages because that might withhold the order to their ground invasion. They do not care as long as they can use the hostages as a pretext for their slaughtering.

There's a turning tide for Palestine in public support. Support for Israel was built through decades of propaganda and we are making a dent into it. Zionists are desperate, holding zoom meetings to promote zionism, but we have to do so much more. We have to shame people in power into supporting the Palestinian cause.

Keep yourself updated and share Palestinian voices, looking to inform yourself from the sources. Palestinians have asked of us only that we share, tweet and post, over and over. Muna El-Kurd said every tweet is like a treasure to them, because their voices are repressed on social media and even on this very app. Make it your action item to share something about the Palestinian plight everyday. Here are some resources:

Take action. You can participate in boycotts wherever you are in the world, through BDS guidelines. Right now, they are focusing on boycotting (don't be overwhelmed by gigantic boycott lists. Only boycott additional brands if you can):

Carrefour

HP

Puma

Sabra

Sodastream

Ahava cosmetics

Israeli fruits and vegetables

Push for a cultural boycott - pressure your favorite artist to speak out on Palestine and cancel any upcoming performances on occupied territory (Lorde cancelled her gig in Israel because of this. It works.)

If you can, participate in direct action or donate. Palestine Action works to shut down Israeli weapons factories in the UK and USA, and have successfully shut down one of their firms in London. Some of the activists are going on trial and are calling for mobilizing on court.

Call your representatives. The Labour Party in the UK had an emergency meeting after several councilors threatened to resign if they didn't condemn Israeli war crimes. Calling to show your complaints works, even more if you live in a country that funds genocide.

FOR PEOPLE IN THE USA: USCPR has developed this toolkit for calls

WE DID IT!!! In 24 hours, with no marketing help from Amazon or QCode, we got The Edge Of Sleep to #6 on Amazon Prime’s TV page and #9 overall in the USA!!!

This is huge but we can’t let up! If nothing else, we need to honor Markiplier’s request to dethrone Judge Judy from her spot. Also we don’t want Amazon to think this is a fluke if the numbers suddenly drop off. So keep watching TEOS, keep getting your friends/family to watch it, keep posting and hash-tagging it. And definitely watch it on the “official” release day, Friday October 18th, in case Amazon only decides to care about “official” release numbers.

Well done everyone but let’s keep going! Stay awake and keep edging your sleep!

IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM OCTOBER 18th 2024!!!

In a YouTube stream, Markiplier said that the powers-that-be (Amazon, I’m guessing?) are going to be looking at the show’s average performance over a whole 30 days.

So we’ve done a great opening performance for the show’s debut but we’re not out of the woods yet. It’s not a sprint but a marathon. Mark said it’s to be expected that the numbers fluctuate from day to day but the average of the next month will be what’s important.

So now that we have a clearer guideline, we’ve got a month of sleeedging ahead of us. Hopefully it will open internationally at some point (he made it sound like that was in the works) to boost numbers even more. But don’t lose faith! We’ve got this!

IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM MAY 16th 2025!!!

The Edge Of Sleep is no longer on Amazon Prime BUT is now on Tubi! And the best part is that you don't need an account to watch! Tubi is completely free, no subscription or account required! I'm streaming the show from my work computer as I type this. AND it is available outside the USA! Not sure exactly where internationally but it is available in other countries.

So whether you're watching it for the first time or you already binged it on Prime and are ready to see it again, check out The Edge Of Sleep on Tubi! Markiplier mentioned in his livestream that it is still important that TEOS gets good viewing numbers on Tubi. Maybe that means Tubi is interesting in helping with Iron Lung or other projects he's working on. Whatever the case, it's time to sleeedge once more!

The "tiktok ban" should scare you and here's why.

Rant made by an autistic, history-loving, chronically online American tiktok cosplayer. Please let me know if I've gotten anything wrong and I will edit the post.

Reblog to spread awareness!

This is not just about Tiktok, and it's not about national security. The Tiktok ban is wrapped up in the "Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act" which has the ability to ban any foreign website or app that the United States government sees as a threat to their "democracy." Not only that, but if the gov't didn't want China to gather data, then they would ban things like Shein and Temu (the latter which they advertised during the Super Bowl), which collect similar data that Tiktok does. If they wanted to prevent our data being stolen in general, they would ban companies like Meta, which monetarily supports the Tiktok ban and had to change their name because "Facebook" was associated with the largest data leak in history.

The documentations of the Tiktok court interrogations prove how incompetent our government is. Repeatedly asking the TikTok CEO Mr. Chew if he's Chinese while he repeatedly assures them he's Singaporean. The officials being concerned that they can't find Singapore on a map. The officials then being confused why the app would be able to have access to their wifi because it needs wifi to load.

The possibility of the US buying Tiktok exposes a greater issue in America: monopolies. The Sherman Antitrust Act was passed in 1890 that restricted the activities of large companies known as monopolies, which started out as small companies and would either buy other companies or buy the factories which produced all their materials. This eliminated competition in the market and gave the monopolies almost full control of quality and prices of items, and it was considered very anti-American at the time. Since the US already has multiple major social medias, including Facebook (Meta), Instagram (Meta), Threads (Meta), X (formerly Twitter), Snapchat, and Reddit, adding Tiktok would mean that nobody could compete with the US in the social media market. This makes them a monopoly, and it's incredibly dangerous.

Banning Tiktok breaks several American trademarks. A) the Republicans banning Tiktok are very concerned about their second amendment right to own guns, but they seem to not care about the first amendment right to freedom of speech and press, which Tiktok delivers. Of course there are app guidelines, but for the most part you have fairly uncensored political and ethical commentary like no other social media. B) the only other countries that have banned Tiktok are either heavily demonized by America or are direct targets for American propaganda (ex. China), which really doesn't make the ban look good. C) banning a social media for the purpose of censorship is a trademark of communism, which Americans are INCREDIBLY wary of.

Your country may follow in suit. Because of America's influence as a global superpower and an ally to many other major powers, America banning Tiktok would likely lead to a domino effect in other countries.

The rich get richer. There is a concept called social darwinism, in which it is the rich's beliefs that the poor must fend for themselves without the help of the government in order to make a living - "survival of the fittest." Tiktok contributed around $14.7 billion USD in 2023 and $24.2 billion in 2024, and it supports around 224,000 jobs [source]. The actual Tiktok website says in 2023, they contributed $15 billion USD in revenue and supported 7 million US businesses [source]. Without these jobs, there could be in increase in homelessness, debt, and sickness due to withdrawals (if you're incredibly addicted to Tiktok) and lack of quick dopamine hits (due to the rapidfire nature of the algorithm).

Remember that the president is not your friend !! Many of the political figures rallying to support Tiktok right now, such as President Biden, initially voted for the ban. President Biden is likely supporting now so that Trump won't get credit for it, and future President Trump is likely doing it for brownie points among younger generations.

The Xiaohongshu migration exposed the American government and its lies. The stories from American 'Tiktok refugees' about the questions from native Chinese on the Xiaohongshu / Rednote / Redbook app (considered the Chinese mixed of Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook) posed a lot of conspiracies and realizations about the American government. The Chinese actually own their homes, they have lower food prices than we do, and they have a slim homelessness rate. Whether this is true or not, it has greatly influenced how we see ourselves in the grand scheme of the American oligarchy, and that is not something that can be suppressed with an app being banned.

Tiktok is not totally Chinese! The CEO is Singaporean, as I've already stated, and there are multiple headquarters in the US, with the main one being in Los Angeles.

In conclusion...

Whether Tiktok is banned or not, whether permanently or not, no matter who saves it or rallies against it, remember that it is harder to scare and control someone when they are in a group. And if you think this was interesting, I'd love it if you could reblog to show some support and inform your friends as well. <3

THIS IS NOT RIGHT VS LEFT❗️IT'S UP VS DOWN❗️

[hbmmaster]

edit: disabled reblogs because this timeline is missing some important events. see the notes for corrections

so okay my current best understanding of what happened here is

a trans woman is the victim of mass harassment

she attempts to report the harassment to tumblr and tumblr does nothing

she posts about her frustration with tumblr staff in a way that directly provokes the ceo of automattic (but not in a way that's actually a credible threat or a bannable offense)

[speculation! this is not confirmed] the ceo is so offended that someone who dares to use the platform he owns would joke about him suffering looney tunes violence that he wants to ban her for this, but since she hasn't done anything wrong he can't do that. but since he's the ceo he can do whatever he wants so he goes through her account(s) showing stuff he doesn't like to the moderation team until he eventually stumbles upon something that actually does technically violate the community guidelines

the trans woman's blog is, for reasons that haven't been officially stated, superbanned in a way that had been previously used when a bunch of black activists were accused of being russian bots. every image she's ever posted is "removed for violating community guidelines" including images that in no way violate community guidelines

tumblr users notice that these innocent images have been removed and make the reasonable assumption that the reason it says these images were removed for violating community guidelines is that something in these images violated community guidelines. people are, understandably, appalled by the implication that a trans woman posting completely normal selfies would be a bannable offense

the ceo, in a move that literally any PR person ever would advise against, personally singles out the woman who was banned, giving explanations of why exactly she was banned that members of tumblr staff would go on to clarify were not the actual reasons. he is technically on vacation while this is happening so nobody is physically there to tell him this is a bad move

miscellaneous other users who posted about this situation are banned for unstated reasons

after getting some backlash to this, the ceo doubles down and digs himself deeper, even following the banned user to another website to harass her

some trans members of tumblr staff release an official statement condemning their ceo's actions, saying in particular that the reasons he gave for why the user had been banned were not the actual reasons, but without specifying why she actually was banned

[911pride]

Welcome to 911 Pride Week!

An eight-day celebration of our favorite weewoo show and queerness!

When is this taking place?

June 23-30 are the official dates, to give people time to create, though we'll be posting things like memes and such all through the month of June to celebrate Pride!

What kind of content is allowed?

All kinds! Fic, art, gifsets, edits, playlists, fibercraft, interpretive dance... if you can make it about 911 and queerness, it can be part of this event!

Do I have to focus on canonically queer characters?

Nope! Though we're absolutely going to celebrate the fact that we have a show with so many rich and developed canonically queer characters, we don't want to curb any creativity or expression. There are plenty of identities that aren't represented canonically that people might want to explore. Give us your enbies, your aces, your queer headcanons yearning to be put to page.

Also, there are other Pride events that are purely focused on canonical characters so we feel like that niche is sufficiently filled.

Do I have to follow the prompts exactly?

Absolutely not! The prompts are like guidelines--they're there for the people who want a jumping off point for something to create. You don't have to follow them if you don't want to. So long as your creation is about 911 and is queer, it's welcome here.

Is there anything I can't create for this?

We would prefer not to have any bashing in this event. There's a lot of division in the fandom, but this is a celebration.

This is not to say that all fanworks need to be positive--we're more than aware that a lot of the queer experience involves struggle and people may want to explore that. Dark thing, dead dove, etc. is absolutely allowed here, we just ask that you tag everything properly and we'll do the same.

Can I make something for both this event and another one that's running?

Sure!! We know we're not the only Pride event running, and we'd hate to douse anyone's creativity by saying you can only participate in one.

This also applies to events that aren't Pride-themed. If something you make for this event also checks off a bingo square or something similar? Great! That just gives us more to check out when we're done admiring what you've made.

How will you guys find my stuff?

If you want to create for this event, please tag us using #911pride25 and @911pride!! We'll do our best to reblog everything in a timely manner. If we miss a post, don't hesitate to send us an ask or ping us again in replies so we can correct our mistake.

[jewish-vents]

columbia university’s been in the news again lately and so it’s making the rounds on jumblr through blogs like @thestudentempanada bc there was another big protest last week (well last week at time of writing on 5/13/25). i’m a proudly jewish but more quietly zionist student at columbia. here’s what it’s been like for the past year and a half:

- not even a week after 10/7, the massive protests began.

- around that time, it came out that ilhan omar’s daughter, a student at the time, had made disgusting comments about the rapes of jewish women and girls. mind you this happened in a classroom setting.

- more than once, i woke up to news of jewish and israeli students being physically assaulted. including a good friend of mine who was punched in the face for wearing a shirt with an israeli flag on it.

- i became increasingly aware that the only reason i was welcomed into the campus arts community is because i was quiet about my zionism.

- often last year, i couldn’t cross the street to get to classes and club meetings because of the huge mobs.

- once when i was walking across campus alone at night, i found antisemitic propaganda taped to the library door including an image of a skunk with an israeli flag design on it and a man with devil horns (i don’t remember if he was a university trustee or a us government official) characterized as an “imperialist” and “zionist”. by the next day, these posters were everywhere.

- when the encampment went up last year, it became impossible to sleep in campus dorms. i slept at a friend’s off-campus dorm at a partner institution.

- one of my professors last spring appeared in at least one al jazeera video filmed at the encampment.

- members of a small club i was a part of insisted on putting out public statements supporting the students in the encampment. i was too afraid to speak out against it but detested that they were purporting to speak for me. the one person i felt was potentially safe to confide in at the time later wrote something comparing the war in gaza to the holocaust.

- my entire family came out to pick me up from campus. this meant i had to walk through an antisemitic hate mob with my grandparents. that night i also stopped by a counterprotest to say hi to my friends - later that night a picture was posted where an anti israel protestor threatened that exact counterprotest with a sign that said “al-qassam’s next targets.” i know exactly who they wanted dead. those people are my personal friends. the next morning, columbia university apartheid divest (cuad) made a post vaguely referencing the sign, claiming that the protestor was unassociated with them and that anyone who wanted to know what cuad really stood for should read their community guidelines. many people in my social circle reposted cuad’s statement.

- i wasn’t on campus during the hamilton hall occupation but i know it was Bad. janitors were held against their will. it was seriously violent.

- my friend got screamed at as she was walking by a protest while wearing a magen david, by someone who she had up until then considered a friendly acquaintance.

- in the fall, things largely quieted down… until 10/7/2024. there was a big anti israel protest and a smaller but very loud pro israel protest. thankfully from what i saw barricades separated the two and there were no altercations. i spent most of the day in hillel. all the freshmen were saying how horrible it was. to me, it felt… well, still bad, but scale-wise it barely registered.

- on the last day of fall classes, there was another massive protest. thankfully i was on a different part of campus while it was going on, but my friend wasn’t so lucky. she was in a class in a building that was surrounded by protestors. they banged on the windows to the point where professors were afraid the windows would break.

- in the spring, things were quiet for a month until the suspension of 2 protestors was announced. pro hamas students responded by taking over another building. thankfully they were cleared out by nighttime, but it was terrifying even as an indirect witness through social media (i was on a different part of campus). i had an anxiety attack that night and couldn’t sleep.

- when mahmoud khalil got arrested, protests began at more regular intervals. these were more “normal,” meaning they were smaller and held in an outdoor location where protests are allowed. but i had a midday class very close to the location of these protests and could hear them every time. it became borderline impossible to focus on my academic work whenever there was a protest outside.

- about 2-3 weeks after they took over the first building, pro hamas students took over ANOTHER building. they made a muppet like puppet of an affiliate school’s (barnard’s) president and HANGED IT. there was a bomb threat called in. many students refused to clear out, believing it to be called in by the administration in an attempt to force them to leave and involve the police. this absolutely baseless conspiracy theory is STILL widely believed by the student body.

- things somewhat quieted down after this, though there were still some “free mahmoud” protests. but i still had plenty of uncomfortable experiences, notably one afternoon when i was trying to study but at the next table over two girls were talking about their experience going to the encampments last year the same way you might talk about a normal club. conversation topics included: lamenting that they didn’t get to meet the progressive icons who visited the encampment and speculating about whether or not people hooked up there. they were so self-absorbed and oblivious that it was genuinely shocking.

- last week, students decided that the study period for finals was the ideal time to take over the main campus library. they committed many acts of vandalism, screamed and shouted and chanted, and actively provoked altercations with campus safety officers and nypd.

i feel so disillusioned and trapped. there are reasons i won’t get into that i genuinely don’t want to leave - i had the opportunity to and turned it down - but i am so so full of resentment towards my fellow students and the mostly ineffectual administration. this is what america’s top universities have become - they’re filled with entitled, antisemitic, self-righteous, self-absorbed “students” who don’t give a damn about their own education or anyone else’s, and professors who are even worse.
