FYI artists and writers: some info regarding tumblr's new "third-party sharing" (aka selling your content to OpenAI and Midjourney)
You may have already seen the post by @staff regarding third-party sharing and how to opt out. You may have also already seen various news articles discussing the matter.
But here's a little further clarity re some questions I had, and you may too. Caveat: Not all of this is on official tumblr pages, so it's possible things may change.
(1) "I heard they already have access to my data and it doesn't really matter if I opt out"
From the 404 article:
A new FAQ section we reviewed is titled “What happens when you opt out?” states “If you opt out from the start, we will block crawlers from accessing your content by adding your site on a disallowed list. If you change your mind later, we also plan to update any partners about people who newly opt-out and ask that their content be removed from past sources and future training.”
So please, go click that opt-out button.
(2) Some future user: "I've been away from tumblr for months, and I just heard about all this. I didn't opt out before, so does it make a difference anymore?"
Another internal document shows that, on February 23, an employee asked in a staff-only thread, “Do we have assurances that if a user opts out of their data being shared with third parties that our existing data partners will be notified of such a change and remove their data?”
Andrew Spittle, Automattic’s head of AI replied: “We will notify existing partners on a regular basis about anyone who's opted out since the last time we provided a list. I want this to be an ongoing process where we regularly advocate for past content to be excluded based on current preferences. We will ask that content be deleted and removed from any future training runs. I believe partners will honor this based on our conversations with them to this point. I don't think they gain much overall by retaining it.”
It should make a difference! Go click that button.
(3) "I opted out, but my art posts have been reblogged by so many people, and I don't know if they all opted out. What does that mean for my stuff?"
This answer is actually on the support page for the toggle:
This option will prevent your blog's content, even when reblogged, from being shared with our licensed network of content and research partners, including those that train AI models.
And some further clarification by the COO and a product manager:
zingring: A couple people from work have reached out to let me know that yes, it applies to reblogs of "don't scrape" content. If you opt out, your content is opted out, even in reblog form.
cyle: yep, for reblogs, we're taking it so far as "if anybody in the reblog trail has opted out, all of the content in that reblog will be opted out", when a reblog could be scraped/shared.
So not only your reblogged posts, but anyone who contributed in a reblog (such as posts where someone has been inspired to draw fanart of the OP) will presumably be protected by your opt-out. (A good reason to opt out even if you yourself are not a creator.)
Furthermore, if you the OP were offline and didn't know about the opt-out, if someone contributed to a reblog and they are opted out, then your original work is also protected. (Which makes it very tempting to contribute "scrapeable content" now whenever I reblog from an abandoned/disused blog...)
(4) "What about deleted blogs? They can't opt out!"
I was told by someone (not official) that he read "deleted blogs are all opted-out by default". However, he didn't recall the source, and I can't find it, so I can't guarantee that info. If I get more details - like if/when tumblr puts up that FAQ as reported in the 404 article - I will add it here as soon as I can.
Edit, tumblr has updated their help page for the option to opt-out of third-party sharing! It now states:
The content which will not be shared with our licensed network of content and research partners, including those that train AI models, includes:
• Posts and reblogs of posts from blogs who have enabled the "Prevent third-party sharing" option.
• Posts and reblogs of posts from deleted blogs.
• Posts and reblogs of posts from password-protected blogs.
• Posts and reblogs of posts from explicit blogs.
• Posts and reblogs of posts from suspended/deactivated blogs.
• Private posts.
• Drafts.
• Messages.
• Asks and submissions which have not been publicly posted.
• Post+ subscriber-only posts.
• Explicit posts.
So no need to worry about your old deleted blogs that still have reblogs floating around. *\o/*
But for your existing blogs, please use the opt out option. And a reminder of how to opt out, under the cut:
The opt-out toggle is in Blog Settings, and please note you need to do it for each one of your blogs / sideblogs.
On dashboard, the toggle is at https://www.tumblr.com/settings/blog/blogname [replace "blogname" as applicable] down by Visibility:
For mobile, you need the most recent update of the app. (Android version 33.4.1.100, iOs version 33.4.) Then go to your blog tab (the little person icon), and then the gear icon for Settings, then click Visibility.
Again, if you have a sideblog, go back to the blog tab, switch to it, and go to settings again. Repeat as necessary.
If you do not have access to the newest version of the app for whatever reason, you can also log into tumblr in your mobile browser. Same URL as per desktop above, same location.
Note you do not need to change settings in both desktop and the app, just one is fine.
I hope this helps!
#long post#meanwhile on DA: submissions are opt-out of AI stuff by default but only after users raised a big enough stink about it#maybe that can happen here?

I found some old pokemon art and decided to finish it!
This is my rough take on a flying-type eeveelution, based loosely on a hawk since Im a huge bird nerd. I’ve been hoping for a flying-type-evo for years and I hope its going to become a thing in Gen 8! @gamefreak I’ll also take a Dragon or Bug eeveelution anytime, plEASE

Named: ??? (Water/Rock)
On rare occasion, an Eevee can be affected by more than one environmental factor, and reacts to grow into a new, rare evolution. Water/Rock Eeveelutions inhabit warm, shallow, tropical waters, predominantly in the pristine southern seas alongside colonies of Corsola. Thriving on a diet enriched with minerals from ocean rocks and sand, these Eeveelutions develop rocky, coral-like growths on their bodies, with the unique coral formations on each individual reflecting their distinct diet and health status. Their coral reefs often become places of refuge for smaller fish Pokémon, who take shelter in the coral and are shielded from larger predators. As long as the individual is in good health, broken coral will be regenerated within days and additional coral can be grown quickly in emergencies, such as during battles. Pieces of broken coral are valuable to collectors and Trainers alike, and can be presented to domesticated Eevee in the hope of inducing evolution into this Water/Rock type. Featuring a lengthy and robust tail, these Eeveelutions wield formidable, long-range attacks against their opponents. They leverage the prehensile appendage to latch onto substantial seaweed and rock formations, anchoring themselves securely during periods of rest.

My biggest frustration with the left has always been the inability/unwillingness to work on making progress inside of the system while advocating for greater change.
I remember the first time I came to this realization.
I was nineteen, pregnant. We couldn’t afford to heat the house because we couldn’t afford the deposit to turn the gas on. It was miserably cold. The duplex we were renting was old and rickety and drafty. The window frames were messed up and there were cracks you could stick your finger through that were open to the elements.
Just, like, to give you an idea where we were financially. And this was better than we’d been doing before!
Anyway, I had recently started going to DSA meetings. And that month, they were talking about how a moderate democrat had successfully gotten a small increase in WIC benefits monthly. It came out to, like, $10 a month.
The members talking—mostly male, almost all doing decent—were scornful. The democrat should have pushed harder and gotten more, refused to accept anything until everyone else caved to their demands. I remember sitting there, quietly drinking the latte in the smallest size they had that I had bought with scrounged quarters, listening. Wishing it wasn’t held in an indie coffee shop because it was a luxury I really couldn’t afford, but it would be rude not to. Enjoying the coffee anyway.
I was one of the lucky ones who was getting that additional $10 a month through WIC. Even more exciting, we were now getting a voucher for the farmers’ market. I casually mentioned that WIC recipients would now be getting farmers’ market vouchers, too.
The guy who organized the meetings was a hard worker, passionate guy. Did something in tech.
He was like, “That’s the thing! These people don’t want farmers market vouchers. They want—” and he went on to describe a bunch of pie in the sky desires. That, yeah, sounded good.
But one. I was one of those people! A lot if the tamiles were super excited about it, myself included.
I had never been to a farmers’ market before. I tried arugula for the first time, a piece pulled from a bunch by the grower as he explained the flavor difference. I hadn’t known before then that different lettuce greens had different flavors, that it was more than just the texture and shape. I tried pesto, which delighted me. Goat cheese. I got three full pounds of strawberries for two dollars, since they were closing soon and the old man selling the berries got a kick out of me.
Anyway. It was like, you have a decent life. Not great but decent! The things that are life changing for me, for us… you already have.
The ten dollars at the grocery store made the difference between a meal of broken-noodles-with-some-half-horrible-pantry-scraps and a meal. It kept me full and healthy! And the additional farmers’ market voucher was world changing for me.
The democrat who worked for those things barely got them through. And it was means tested to hell and back. They weren’t able to get everything they wanted. But what they got made such a huge difference for me, for people like me.
#long post#I've seen so much of this attitude lately#it's extremely frustrating#people complaining nothing gets done while completely ignoring the progress that IS made#it's like they just want big changes to happen overnight; but that just isn't how things work

Wilteon (Grass/Ghost)
#??? - On rare occasion, an Eevee can be affected by more than one environmental factor, and reacts to grow into a new, rare evolution. Some Eevee are particularly sensitive to the flora around them, and will be influence by the life and treatment of those plants. When wild vegetation is ravaged by disease or human destruction, nearby Eevee may react by evolving into the Grass/Ghost Wilteon. Even domestic Eevee who live around neglected houseplants may evolve into this Eeveelution. Small plants and vegetation wilt in the presence of unhappy individuals, though the resulting soil is said to be extremely fertile. The dark patches on Wilteon’s body spread depending on the health of their local ecosystem, though their coat may lighten if conditions improve. It is said that these moody and elusive Pokemon will seek out and haunt people who purposefully kill plants, draining the person’s energy to fuel their own spectral powers. They only warm to humans who value plant life and treat it with respect.

Sidheon (Ghost/Fairy)
#??? - On rare occasion, an Eevee can be affected by more than one environmental factor, and reacts to grow into a new, rare evolution. There have been several known instances of domesticated Eevee evolving spontaneously into the Ghost/Fairy-type Sidheon after witnessing their Trainer experience a difficult hardship or illness; it is believed that their desire to protect their loved ones through an arduous time was so strong that they ascended beyond their physical body, becoming a guardian spirit. Channeling ethereal energy through their long tail and hood trail, Sidheon do their best to sense potential misfortune and protect their loved ones from harm, whether it be physical, emotional, or mental. These Pokemon like to tag along with their Trainers wherever they go, often disappearing into their Trainer’s shadow when it would otherwise be difficult or inconvenient to join them. If a cherished member of their family passes away, Sidheon will go through great lengths to guide and protect their spirit, just as they protected it in life. Trainers can intentionally trigger this evolution by giving their Eevee a reaper’s cloth while it knows a Fairy-type move; however, the Eevee will not evolve unless it shares a deep friendship with its Trainer and desires above all else to protect them from harm.

Sidheon was commissioned by @dapple-drawings, who also commissioned their own shiny version. Thanks!

Necreon (Poison/Ghost)
#??? - On rare occasion, an Eevee can be affected by more than one environmental factor, and reacts to grow into a new, rare evolution. Eevee who have fainted due to poison numerous times may evolve into the Poison/Ghost-type Necreon. These Pokemon can refine toxins extracted from deceased organic matter into stronger, potent poisons; as such, they can often be found near corpses and graveyards, filling their excess poison sacks. Some individuals have even been observed using foraged bones as decorative pieces and armor. Their billowing tail has a needle-like point that they use to inject their fast-acting poison. When cornered, Necreon can rapidly expand the mildly toxic cloud around their neck, creating a sort of smokescreen that stings the eyes and allows them to escape. Though they generally dislike people, Necreon may get along with a Trainer who shares a similar temperament.

Did I daydream this, or was there a website for writers with like. A ridiculous quantity of descriptive aid. Like I remember clicking on " inside a cinema " or something like that. Then, BAM. Here's a list of smell and sounds. I can't remember it for the life of me, but if someone else can, help a bitch out <3

emotionally manipulative things you should never say to people:
“i would kill myself without you”
“everyone leaves me, don’t leave me like they did”
basically anything that guilts the other person into staying in a relationship with you
#I had a couple of friends who did this#one went even further than that--not getting into details here#ended up having to block them everywhere#the worst part is I still sometimes feel bad about doing that#even though I had to do it for the sake of my mental health#idk if they even realized what they were doing but even if not that doesn't really make it better

Name: Galveon
Metallic Fur Pokemon
Type: Steel
Size: 3'01" | 87.6 lbs
Ability: Battle Armor (Hidden Ability: Stamina)
Evolves from Eevee when trained while holding a Metal Coat.

The silver sections on their body are made of particularly dense, wire-like fur, which they can extend at will into blades and defensive armor. Athletic and diligent, these Eeveelutions have a robust stamina and a competitive spirit. They enjoy battling and honing their skills in a fight, and have been observed to be particularly dedicated to their Trainers. Though rare, Galveon can be found in mountainous areas where they return to their dens to sharpen their blade-like tail after every battle.
