Hope everyone had a good Christmas I got... Shingles.

#im fine im not even in real pain #but its very annoying that i cannot see a doctor to start antivirals today #and very funny that it shows up ON CHRISTMAS #like fr most places should be closed on major and a lot of 'minor' holidays #but i feel like the urgent care is one place that really needs to be open #and the staff should be properly compensated for working xmas #oh well guess i start them tomorrow.

Imagine, for a moment, that your internet just stopped loading images one day. Your dash might look pretty different (and less usable), but at least you can still make posts — whether about your internet situation, or about completely unrelated topics.

Then, imagine that one or more of your posts blew up, to the tune of hundreds if not thousands of notes. Imagine people started adding images to your posts.

Imagine your post circulating almost entirely in the form with four or five images attached, and with everyone in the notes laughing about those images — except you, who started the post in the first place, who can't even see those images because you're trapped in Tumblr's loading gradient hellscape.

You're excluded from any further conversations on your own post, because someone added a mystery image with the caption "don't leave this in the tags," but you have no idea which set of tags it is, and can't tell if it's one of the good takes from the tags or one of the horrible takes from the tags. You're excluded from the Tumblr users playing with JPEGs like dolls. You can try to guess the contents of the images based on people's reactions, but it's hard. And no one adding images even seems to notice the irony.

This is, of course, a real problem plaguing Tumblr users with regularly slow internet. And it's also a huge, insidious problem plaguing blind and low vision people who rely on either screen readers, or image descriptions in combination with enlarged text on their device.

People with disabilities around comprehending images, people who have images (or gifs) disabled due to photosensitivity, and many others are also affected.

If you add an image to a post without either alt text, an in-post image description, or even both for maximal inclusivity, you don't know if OP — or the person whose tags you're peer reviewing, or whose reply you're screenshotting — will actually be able to see it. From their perspective, you might just be shoving a mystery rectangle in their face, expecting them to be able to guess — or responding to them without them being able to know.

Imagine being on the receiving end of that expectation constantly. Imagine how isolating that must feel.

We need, collectively, to stop making assumptions that everyone we interact with online will be able to access, physically see, and mentally process images. The assumption that disabled people are vanishingly rare and statistically shouldn't really need to be considered is an assumption of structural and/or implicit ableism.

Write image descriptions. Write image descriptions for every image you post, if you're able — but if you have limited energy, or you're still learning, you should at least start trying your absolute best to describe images you add to other people's posts. If you're starting a conversation, even an online conversation, you should make your best effort to be accessible.

So: Write IDs, especially if they're as simple as just text, like screenshotted tags (link to guide). Write IDs even if you think the best ID you can write is too short, or too incomplete (link to post explaining why even "bad" IDs help).

Write IDs in general (link to a huge compilation of guides). Challenge ableist assumptions and inaccessibility.

#this is not a callout post or anything - i've actually reminded a few people in my notes about this recently #pointing out the disability flag in my icon - and they've all been very courteous #it's just that the site culture as a whole needs to change. urgently #accessibility #image descriptions

Hello! Honoring the call for a global strike, from now (24/01/2024) until the end of this week (6AM Monday 29/01/2024, Hanoi/Jakarta time (GMT+7)) I am offering one full-body sketch of any character you want for every e-sim you donate.

All you need to do is:

go to gazaesims.com

follow the instruction there and donate an e-sim of any plan

screenshot the confirmation of your purchase and donation

send the screenshots to me via either email ([email protected]) or Tumblr DM, along with the character you want a sketch of and any references you have on hand.

Standard commission/request guideline applied. I'll run streams in the next four days (and perhaps after as well) on Youtube doing these sketches live - those will be announced on this blog as they happen.

I'm not currently affiliated with the Cartoonist Cooperative or any other artists doing the same drive, but if my art's not what you're looking for, definitely give the Coop's site as well as the e-sim tag on Tumblr a look! And if you're not looking for sketch commissions from me or art commission in general at the moment, I encourage you to donate an e-sim anyway if possible.

Thank you for your work and support - I can't wait to draw your character!

#bakuspecial #gaza esims #e sims #commission info #I've been wanting to buy an e-sim myself but. my current credit card is Extremely weird #it does not register as either an ATM card or a VISA card when I do online purchases. and I need a VISA card for this from where I am #so hey! if you're looking to commission me for something like this anyway #then for this week we can put the money towards an urgent cause #I am sadly otherwise extremely low on energy nowadays. so my comm bouts are few and far inbetween #but while I have the energy I very much want to do this #I'll need to set up some admin stuff for the streams and for checking the donations. but I can do it #have a good day guys! you know where I stand on the matter as an inhabitant of a country deeply wounded by colonialism & imperialism #I'm glad to be able to add my effort. from the river to the sea!

These children have gotten severe burns from israeli artillery shelling in the North of Gaza. Bare witness to the video and their injuries. People shouldn't look away, they should act against this cruelty being inflicted upon other human beings and stand up against it. Free Palestine.

please im begging this is incredibly urgent. the people that have allowed us to stay for the last two nights put my wife through an incredibly traumatic experience and she’s scared to leave the room without me to get food or even go to the bathroom and we have to keep the door locked at all times. we really need help right now, we have a plan but nothing that can happen for another week. please anything to help us get by we have no money and are trapped.

c4$happ: goldenratio1123 or melancholicore

p4ypal: iwannadaisuki or poppybun

v3nmo: iwannadaisuki

im so sorry to ask for help again but this is an extremely volatile environment and its incredibly important we find a way out of here and survive until we can make that happen as our lives have been threatened multiple times.

Photo

[ID: Various digital drawings of Jonathan Sims from TMA, all set during season four. He is a tall, thin British-Indian man with receding and unruly curly grey hair. It Is long and usually tied back half-up, half-down. His skin is covered in a variety of scars, some fresher than others, and he wears rectangular glasses. In the first drawing, he is staring with focus down at the cigarette he is lighting. In the second, he is shown in profile, wearing a noticeably oversized mustard-coloured jumper, the neck of which he holds to his mouth and nose, with a tear visible in his eye. In the third and fourth drawings, his eyes glow red as he looks down with a sardonic smile, then at the viewer with a grave expression. Beside these there is a transcript excerpt that says “ARCHIVIST: (flatly) Or perhaps you could answer some questions.” In the last, he is shown sitting against an unseen wall, seemingly asleep, with his glasses tucked into the front of his shirt, and his head propped against his hand. Amongst the drawings are a cassette tape that has the note “recording by Martin Blackwood” and little hearts surrounding it; a lit zippo lighter with a spiderweb design; a clean and disembodied human rib; and a smartphone with a cracked screen. Above the phone are a series of texts sent seemingly from Jon to Martin: “do you hat e me pleas be honest”/”iM only yipts i PORMISE MAETIN”/”i;m sor ry for inconvcebie d.Ng you :’(” Then, there is a timestamp for “today, 9:34am”, followed by more messages: “Sorry. I want to reiterate that I’m still very worried; I don’t trust that you’re safe.”/”Let me know if I can help you.” The last message is a single heart emoji, but it is showing as not delivered. End ID.]

idk what to tell u. in s4 this man simply has a certain pathetic rizz. a wet dog je ne sais quoi.

#the magnus archives #tma #tma s4 #jon sims #jonblogging #my #saint draws #just in case anybody was confused im never not rotating this sad pining man and his complex emotions in my head #you think we're not on jarchivist lockdown 24/7? foolish #also if u've sent a request i have seen it and am enthused but this was Very Urgent the moment i had some spare time #<3

a lesson on good karma digimon survive week 2024 day 4: supporting characters

#digimon #gomamon #digimon survive #survive week #survive week 2024 #rambling ahead. you don't have to read the tags beyond bc there's nothing that important tbh... you can just look at the art...#exhausted from being out and doing housework yesterday. then got a last-minute job with very urgent deadline today #finished everything but yeah basically i did anything but art so #irl do be like that aint it #anyway it's been a long time since i played survive and my memory isn't that good #but i always remember the part where we had to protect the gomamon #and later they showed us a path via the dam allowing the team to continue exploring #it reminded me of just how important it is to be nice and do good things whenever and wherever possible #and be mindful with the not-so-good things you do and say #be it good or bad. karma is real even if you don't know when it will get back at you #and you know in visual novel settings. whatever choice you make really determines what happens later on #yeah believe it or not i end up thinking stuff like that by helping a bunch of adorable seal mons...#mmm i'm officially behind now so i might as well take my time while also rest a bit haha ;;#this week has been fun with survive week tho fr. even though i came in unprepared (when will i change)#gotta keep surviving #png

i guess i would be less skeptical that the degrowth/capitalism must end for climate change to be fixed/we can't reform our way out of the problem crowd believed their own rhetoric if they actually, like. were organizing in a way that had a shred of possibility of having a large-scale impact?

but a weekly protest downtown and occasionally blocking a freeway is... not that. trying to get more people to feel doomed and hopeless is also not that. you need to start setting things on fire, blowing things up, and/or stockpiling guns. organizing militias. like if you really want to overthrow existing structures of power, you actually have to... do that?

obviously that's not nice. that's not civil. that probably involves killing people. but i don't think putting up those stylized hourglass stickers everywhere is actually a credible threat to the current systems of power as they exist. but if the really doomer shit is what you actually believe, why aren't you acting like it?

#not saying climate change isn't bad #or that it doesn't need to be urgently addressed #but i think the maximally pessimistic view is not very sound #and mostly exists within an echo chamber of depressives who want their pessimism vindicated

Where is that text post about procrastinating on a task for literal months only to find that it takes less than 10 minutes to complete and is so very easy. Because etc etc I am in this picture and I don't like it.

#hilary for ts #moved to a new city in the same state 18 months ago #did not update my driver's license (i don't have a car so it wasn't urgent)#figured i would have to get tons of paperwork and go to the DMV and otherwise make a production #did not do it #needed ID with current address? did not do it #until now #when i googled it #found out that you can in fact update your address online on the dmv portal and it takes all of 10 minutes and --#i cannot stress this enough --#you DO NOT ACTUALLY HAVE TO GO TO THE DMV!#better known as the proof for the existence of hell on earth #and it was so easy. so very easy. will i learn anything from this?#the magic 8 ball says stay tuned

HEY hey if you have a copy of Bugsnax, are able to save clear screenshots of fully snakified grumpus (with singular snax), and are willing to upload them to the Miraheze Bugsnax Wiki/Bugapedia that'll be Very appreciated‼️‼️‼️

im asking this cause,,

If you want an example of what I mean, there's a Snakifications Section on Bunger's page which basically be serve as a base for the whole thing

Below cut I added some important stuff relating to file naming and uploading them :V

First I Highly Recommend looking through the "Snakified Images" category, as it includes every snakified grump already uploaded onto the wiki. This will help prevent duplicated images

Obviously the screen resolution isn't going to be the same for every device, but just try to make sure the screenshots aren't too blurry n stuff. Also, with naming the files themselves, please try to use this format:

"BUGSNAK Snakification GRUMPUS"

For example it'll be like ""Bunger Snakification Filbo". This will help with keeping the files organized in their categories

When uploading the images onto the wiki, please please include these categories in the summary of the upload. Again, this help a BUNCH with organizing images 🔽🔽🔽

[[Category:GRUMP Images]] [[Category:SNAK Images]] [[Category:Game Screenshots]] [[Category:Snakified Images]]

🔼🔼🔼 please

The "GRUMP" and "SNAK" should be replaced with the respective grumpus and bugsnak in the image

also please dont just go onto the Fandom Wiki and save and upload all of the snakifications from there, it may seem easier but it's really not worth it

I think I made this clear enough, but if u have more questions just ask me 👍

#not forcing ppl to do it cause it's not really urgent. it's A Wiki. but any help would be Greatly appreciated #this probably seems very silly to ppl who dont know anything about bugsnax lol #''PLEASE i need help getting images of weird food mutant muppets for this game's wiki!! Gah!!!''#bug game #bugsnax #main tagging sure why not

hey, i'm completely broke after paying for rent and groceries and i don't know how i'm gonna cover a $150 bill i'll have to pay on the 15th. i have some time, but i'll definitely need help, especially since i'll have to figure out food again by then too. if you're able to spare anything, it would be a huge relief right now.

reblogs would help a lot, thank you so much for any and all support while i try to hang in there, and take care <3

#ko-fi #mutual aid #i'm sorry i'm barely scraping by at the best of times and i have been having an Extra hard time for a while #thank you for your patience ;_;#i am trying to apply for disability but it's a really long wait and it's really hard for anyone to get accepted u_u #(i had a more urgent emergency when i first posted but a very kind friend just helped me cover it <3 thank you again)
