Toggles. My finished toggles for my coat. I created the cord using French knitting and added the toggles to half of them, ready to be sewn on my coat. #coat #toggles #dufflecoat #fabric #pattern #buttons #coat #coatsewing #sew #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/CkSq1EMKt0A/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
tumblr mobile has steadily become near unusable these past few updates. not just from a user experience perspective (which is important enough in itself) but also from an accessibility perspective.
examples include the new way the image viewer works (if you can call it "working"), the tumblr live button replacing the profile button, and that newly created blogs will be forced to have their main dashboard tab be the 'for you' page.
the demands of the protest would be along the lines of:
reverse the recent image viewer update
scrap the new users 'for you' page default setting
let us turn off tumblr live indefinitely
increase efforts against spam / porn bots
make reporting abuse and hate speech as easy as reporting as reporting spam
let us go nuts show nuts again... for real this time
remove flashing ads, including not accepting blaze campaigns for posts with flashing in them
commit to improving usability and accessibility, and listening to users!
(suggestions welcome!)
to protest against these usability issues, and inspired by the recent reddit blackout, i propose a 48 hour blackout (where you don't use tumblr at all). preferably of both mobile and web (since web has problems too) but mobile is the focus here.
[edit: a 'blackout' is when you don't log in, or interact with the site at all, for [x] amount of time.]
I suggest from the 30th of June.
this marks the end of pride month (for the "queerest place on the internet") and the start of disability month (since accessibility is a massive issue here).
tumblr office is in San Francisco, USA, so the times and dates will be calculated using their time zone (PDT).
you can find out the times and dates for your timezone here.
i can't afford to blaze this post so please spread it around as much as possible! protests only work if significant numbers show up!
edit: tumblr rejected the blaze campaigns for this post because they know it would hurt them. let's make this an indefinite blackout - it's the best way to get results.
i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:
1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online
2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links
3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)
4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)
In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)
you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)

From my blog!
Have you ever heard the phrase that 'Everything Old is New Again'? It's a great phrase that certainly proves itself over and over again as I've gotten older. It definitely shown itself true in the way the folks in Hollywood and other various studio hotspots rehash movie plots. But it shows itself in social movements, food de jours, and - as is the case in this picture - fashion.
I got this 70's coat from Marlee's mom. It was dragged out of a closet forgotten in a hallway and when I took it in, I was not excited about it. First thing's first: it's got wooden toggles to fasten the from and the cuffs. The colors - though vibrant and untouched by the passages of time - conflict with most colors that I wear. It's got shoulder pads for goodness sake. I laughed when I tried it on. But it was the surprised look from Marlee and her parents that made me think that maybe I could pull off the look.
But I waited. I was being 'chromophobic' as my art teacher in high school once problematically told me.
A month later I through on my old red long sleeve shirt (pictured) and reached for my old standard grey hoodie. Underneath that, however, this coat of many colors peeked out to me. I murmured to myself 'Everything old is new again, huh?' and threw it on.
When I tell you that I received more compliments for that coat that day that I've had for a new haircut... I guess it's fetching. I can tell you it's warm, too. And full of static.
So when I say that phrase Everything Old is New Again, I say so with a smile. I also say 'The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same.'
That's a good one, too.
Perfect for those who want a simple Live2D VTuber Model to use while saving for a custom one!
For people starting off with Streaming but don't have the means for a highly accurate facial-recognition camera, this SKELETON VTuber Model only needs to track the direction you face and your mouth being open or closed. i sometimes have an issue with that.
also i am aware that not everyone wants to show their face, but does want to stream so i wanted to provide a less-expensive alternative.
with how simple a skeleton is, i did want to add some expressive options.
Making Coat Toggles. I decided rather than buying cord for my coat toggles that I would make them. I found some white wool and this is an old wooden French knitting tool. After watching some YouTube videos I was good to go. #toggles #coattoggles #makeitmyself #made #make #frenchknitting #wool #making #buttons #coat #coatmaking #dufflecoat https://www.instagram.com/p/CkL7RgUKEap/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
