Pinning this post so that I can look at tags on my blog without wrestling the Tumblr search algorithm each time.

OH HECK YEAH

I figured out how to pause videos on tumblr! Take that capitalistic degradation of the internet for the sake of shoving an endless, algorithm-driven feed in my face! You cannot stop me!

Drag the video down a little, like you're going to swipe out of it, but not enough to actually leave. The video will stop and a beautiful, beautiful pause/play button will appear in the middle of the screen for when you wish to resume. Sadly it vanishes when you press play but you can repeat to get it back.

ok this might be a long shot and i might be wrong but did u reblog a post abt picking out a good laptop like. forever ago… and do u know where it is…. i would like a new laptop 🥲 if it’s too much trouble to find dw abt it !

oh fuck i think so. hold on

I know I cannot stop this post from spreading, but please don't waste your time doing this. It's trivial to filter out external emails being sent to an organizational address like this one. Literally every email not sent from a .gov address will be marked EXTERNAL, and they'll just ignore them.

In the past 24 hours, over two dozen people from across the federal government leaked to me various internal directives and memos killing their agencies’ DEI programs. One angry official even sent me Elon Musk’s new official White House email address (I verified the address, belonging to the Executive Office of the President, by sending an email which didn’t bounce back.)

In fact, I've gotten more leaked documents in the past day than I’ve gotten on any other day ever

Here are all the leaked memos too. Extremely fucking dystopian. They all share an email government employees are supposed to use to report "DEIA related" people and programs trying to "obscure their connection" to it - “DEIAtruth@opm.gov”

@/saudias is a scam blog; they constantly change their blog in order to ask for donations. This blog has less than ten posts, which is a giant red flag. Please read this post with tips on how to spot scam accounts like this (along with a list of well known ones): https://www.tumblr.com/mangocheesecakes/742313431144726529 - I put this message in the replies and within minutes it was removed and replies were restricted (another red flag)

wow thank you, I got a weird vibe from it but wanted to be nice.

Pokeshipping Week 2024

Day 6: Video Call

... Or we can just jump straight into a phonecall mid-vacation to give our response. Why not? 🤪 If it's one thing he's known for, it's Ash's neverending patience and forethought, amirite?

One thing I know, though, is that their families are NOT going to let them live this down. Especially Misty's sisters. 'Cause what're siblings for? Hoo boy. ��

Daisy was actually pretty fun to draw, especially her hair (if you can't tell). I didn't think too much and just did what I wanted. Maybe it came out too much like fur, but eh who cares (not me). 🤷‍♀️

I'm running backwards up a halfpipe/pos

Welcome to the game, Daneilla (Danny)Darling! I’m still working on her main-world design, so her Space Riders fit is all I have for now. I’m almost done though! I think y’all will like her!

Anyways, Danny is a young Aerospace Welder and Engineer, and lives on the Intergalactic Emergency Sub-Station: a company, and space station dedicated to preserving life and safe travel through the cosmos. When she’s not traveling with other crews as an on-call engineer for dangerous voyages, Danny is dispatched across worlds to complete maintenance checkups on passing ships and other space stations.

Personally, Danny is a flexible, relaxed young woman with a steady hand and a quick mind. She loves her job, and she’s not working or napping, she enjoys dancing and debating silly questions like weather there are more wheels or doors in the world (she will always say wheels). She isn’t put on the front lines often, considering her lack of supernatural abilities, but her cunning and resourcefulness always keeps her opponents guessing. Her favorite drink is Horchata!
