it's not that I need a quiet day or a day off exactly; it's that I need a pocket of time that exists entirely outside of linear time as we know it that would allow me to get things done without time passing in the real world, and frankly, I don't think that's too much to ask.

LOVE THIS DYNAMIC SO MUCH

battle couples has gotta be one of my favorite tropes though. The “you got me?” “Yeah, I got you.” The kiss for good luck. Fighting alongside each other for so long they know every strength and weakness. The dichotomy of being fucking terrifying to their enemies, but so soft with each other. When one is in danger and the other goes feral, protects them at any cost. When everything is over and done, it’s all “let me see where you’re hurt,” and washing off the dirt and blood.

Hey! If you can, fill out this form for a cool research project my friend is doing!

My friends at University of Nicosia in Cyprus are doing a psychology research project, looking at the relationships between pet/plant ownership and optimism.

It takes about 3 minutes, and they're looking for as wide a sample as possible.

They are taking responses until April 15th.

Please help if you can!

Oh, look, it's me!

if a character means enough to me i will truly never stop thinking about them. i just retire them into a little back room in my brain and periodically bring them out to stare at them under a little light

From instructions on how to opt out, look at the official staff post on the topic. It also gives more information on Tumblr's new policies. If you are opting out, remember to opt out each separate blog individually.

Please reblog this post, so it will get more votes!

This also, apparently, annoyingly, has to be done on desktop because the option doesn't show on mobile (at least for me).

Reminder for artists and writers to OPT-OUT of Tumblr giving your posts to companies to train AI programs

Each of your side-blogs has to enable the "Prevent sharing" setting. It's not account-wide

I am sorry to everyone who tagged me in some tag game and I never responded. I saw it and thought “aww they thought of me” and proceeded to forget about it right after

the solution for taking care of "unsightly" homeless people is to house us. that is the only solution. if you can't stand the look of someone living on the sidewalk, you shouldn't stand for them being put into that situation to begin with. housing us is the only answer.

Screenshot of Tumblr settings with slider (currently off) with heading "Prevent third-party sharing for sharkface" and text below that reads, "This option will prevent this blog's content from being shared with our licensed network of content and research partners, including those that train AI models. Learn more." (Learn more is underlined like a link.)

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

i refuse to apologize for being weird or offputting actually that's your problem i'm having a fantastic time

hey um! with KOSA looking more and more closer to passing, email and call your reps to prevent it from passing! bad internet bills is a helpful site with an easy to fill out forum that does not take long to complete stop KOSA is also another good site w/ a prefilled out message you can send (with resources for those not in the U.S. too!), and much like bad internet bills, it has an easy to fill out form that does NOT take long to complete this is very important! because this will effect ALL of us, not just usamericans! this is something that has the power to irreversibly ruin the internet as a whole

it’s very funny to grow up and become the age you used to think adults were so old and wise at and realize that their inner monologue was ABSOLUTELY “shit shit shit shit shit shit” the whole time 

we can't even get you to stop calling us "dude"

Screenshot of tweet from attorneyryan that reads, "This advice might save your life:

1. Don't make small talk with cops. It makes ZERO difference if you have 'nothing to hide.'

2. Don't trust cops. They don't know the law and they're legally allowed to lie to you.

3. NEVER consent to a search. No matter how innocent you are.

4. NEVER make a deal with cops. They do not have ANY legal authority to offer you a plea deal. They're trying to trick you into making a false confession.

Many innocent people can be saved by this advice."
