#you follow blogs that reblog pictures

[jlf23tumble]

jen what do you think about these holivia kissing pics on release day? and how long do you think they’ll keep pushing this? curious to hear your thoughts on the whole situation!

I don't really think anything about it, actually? Like it's no big whoop to me, they're cute, the outfits are on point, closeted relationships gonna closet, truly the best part for me was doin' a quick lurk on the shittier blogs after I got this ask and seeing how "tired" and "exhausted" they are, so they're gonna take a lil break--buh bye, don't let the door hitcha where the good lord splitcha! (Oh, they'll be back, gotta get those sweet, sweet notes, the validation that can only come from stirring up anxiety about rich white guys generally by shitting on the ladies associated with them specifically--tougher to do it IRL, I'd imagine). I did see some really great takes (especially these tags and the tags plus op's tags, respectively), so that's kinda fun, too

GOD. watching radfem blogs who follow me slowly slipping into just straight up far-rightism...it’s absolutely bonkers buck wild. like i’m sorry but i need to rant about the fact that yall claim to be feminists but openly mock ‘weak’ or ‘effeminate’ liberal men and call them ‘cucks’ or whatever right along with the far right...why is it a trend that yall would rather reblog from some incel that post roe v wade reversal changed his description to ‘good luck murdering the unborn now, whores’ than reblog from a leftist trans woman? wtf is wrong with you?

i think some of yall deep down have some serious internalized Trad values that you have yet to confront and you’re just clinging to radical feminism because it is the last ~cool~ and ~subversive~ way to be Trad without having to be like the Stinky Trump Supporters. or the last way to be Trad without having to confront that actual pathetic lifestyle for what it is.

why do i regularly see women who follow me go on rebog sprees from these nasty Trad incels who like. openly hate women and are openly against abortion? do you seriously think that pepe frog icon who posts pictures of 15 year old brides with 55 year old husbands outside a dilapidated cottage in the middle of ass fuck nowhere is going to see your blog and Come To The Light because your ass is so fat he can’t resist? yall are so utterly pathetic thirsting for Trad Christian Cock going through these nasty ass blogs from people who don’t see you as human and rebogglinig memes and like Cute Animal Pics from them in between posts about catholicism and the birth rate and Uncle Joe’s Dementia and shit. he is not going to eat you out. he is not going to start preferring his women older than 15. i would bet $74389217489031 that these men are making fun of thirsty, hairy radfems in private groupchats right now. like if you want to work on Converting someone then direct your energy at WOMEN because those are the people getting hurt by Trad shit. those are the people getting taken advantage of and married off to be property for drunkard losers. but i guess that’s boring because it’s more fun to post about your wet pussy after reblogging 4738910 posts from some guy with Pepe With an AK-47 as his icon because then that man might notice you and think briefly of wanting to fuck you. yall are so desperate it’s pathetic, and i say this as a het radfem. simply date a liberal man who respects you. it’s not difficult <3

I'm mass purging the bots from my follower list cuz oh my god...

Since there are so many bots, I cannot double-check all their profiles for bot-hood lest I waste alot of my time and energy.

If you are a real person who follows me and has one of the default Tumblr Profile pictures, please, and I mean PLEASE at least change it to like... your favorite character or something. It won't be my fault if I or another person you follow blocks you thinking you're a bot, we are just too tired of being swarmed to check.

i had a dream my parents gave me up when i was young. i came home from school one day and they told me they didnt want me anymore.

but that isnt what the dream was about. i knew that already.

it was a dream about being wanted.

my older cousin had a room for me, a whole country away, with exposed auburn wood and a big bed. big canvasses, with tubs of paint. a soft carpet. billboards for photos of memories i would make. set up for me like the aquarium for a long waited fish of an excited child.

que parecidas from the lips of relatives and strangers alike. it means ‘how seeming’. or ‘how belonging.’ they were commenting on how we look alike. we do. i could almost let myself forget i wasnt always here.

my cousins children became my little sisters. i did ballet with mis hermanitas down the hallways of our home. they dont know theres someone who called me hermanita too - i could almost let myself forget that, too.

my old friends called me sometimes, but less and less, as i started forgetting english. maybe as i forgot the words for friend and mom and sister i’d forget them too. maybe i could let myself remember only amigo y mamá y hermana. only the ones that wanted me.

but not when you called me. i could feel the dream realize - i didnt know you yet when i left - you can’t be here. large oilspilled hands replaced your face with someone else. someone who made sense in a timeline where i am wanted. you don’t make sense here. but you wiped off all the other faces. it was always you. breaking through. reaching out to me.

i couldn’t forget. not you. i wished i could. i clung to this dream where i was wanted. i didnt want to remember. you hugged me as it begun to rain. the murals i painted on my walls washed away drop my drop. until downpours claimed my dance trophies and tutus. my pictures of made-up friends. the walls dripped bare until through the haze of rain it was my real life again.

but you still hugged me.

it was a dream about being wanted. it still was.

Those tags on the "you like my product" reblog that just came up on your queue. <3 Tbh I don't mind that you reblog from me lol following your blogs is a delight. The delay makes it extra funny because of my memory problems. So I'll see one of your reblogs and go oh ho ho that's a funny one I'll rebagel that only to see that it was reblogged FROM me lmao

HA! I was sort of hoping as such (that "I find it funny" statement). I came, I saw, I drafted the shit out of everything for days then after mass queuing disappeared again conquered.

How to spot a (heart wrenching sad cat) Charity Scam

So I've been get a lot of requests for money in my askbox lately, from users I have never seen before! Usually sad cats, sometimes gender affirming medical bills, a queer person being made homeless etc etc... and guess what? None of them are real! It's scammers who have learned how to work tumblr's userbase and prey on our general sense of community and charity.

Here it is, so sad! So tragic! But let's note a few things:

It's generic. They don't know me, I don't know them. it's addressed to 'friend', no use of nicknames or usernames.

Even the cat and the problem are generic 'little kitty' who has 'urgent needs'. This is not how real people talk, this is because this scam is being used over and over with different accounts a different 'cats'.

Praying (uh huh.)

Asking you to reply privately- This is so people don't spot the scam and point it out the mark and because if too many people posted replies to the same message it would beome really obvious that this is a scam. If they're looking for 'boosts' so badly, then why do they need you to reply privately?

Now that I'm suspicious, let's investigate.

Sent me an ask and then followed me! Sounds like they're just hitting up anyone and everyone, but even more likely they have a list they're working from.

(I get so many, I'm probably on a mail-out list a mile long, just being hit up for cash. Likely I fell for one of these once and got my name added to every scam list for miles, but oh well.)

So let's see if they're a bot or a real person!

The blog looks genuine enough, they've got a bio, a fandom etc. And it says they're an artist!

And of course there's that sad cat post, pinned right to the top, so I don't have to look any further through the blog for verification... Looks super legit, pics of the cat, pics of the bill... of course anyone can print out a bill and take a picture of it...

As I do scroll futher, it's full of reblogs making this look like an active user. So how can I tell it's not genuine?

Well, if they're an artist they probably post right? Doodles? Pictures? Let's have a look at their origional posts.

The fastest way to do this is by using an outside tool like Original Post Finder.

just type in the suspicious username and go...

Voila! As suspected, the only post this bot account has ever made is Sad Cat Post.

Confirmed: Scam. Do not give your money to these guys, it looks so real but they're just here to make you feel like a bad person for not handing over everything you can. Charity is wonderful, supporting friends is wonderful, but tbh save it for people you actually know irl/ mutuals you have an actual relationship with. Don't believe any rando who comes knocking!

Love and kisses, stay safe out there.
