some times your gay. some times your sleeby. some times? your both

Very funny that the govt is only giving tests to HOUSEHOLDS and not individuals therein

Correction:

to ADDRESSES

Hahahahhahahahaahaha

Hey, this was addressed on Twitter- this happens when you put the apartment number in the second row instead of the first. This theoretically shouldn’t happen if you do that.

WHY it works that way I couldn’t tell you, but that is apparently how it does.

Chise @sailorrooscout

NOTE: If you live in an apartment, if you enter your apartment number in the second address line the website doesn't recognize it and treats the building address as a SINGLE household = ERROR. Include your apartment number in the FIRST address line instead to work around it.

Chise @sailorrooscout Replying to @sailorrooscout

It MAY allow you to put your apartment number in the second line. If you do this make sure the numbers and unit are together. Example. 1312D✔️  1312 D❌

(The second example has a space between 1312 and D)

PSA regarding tumblr’s latest Censorship Nightmare

For those of you who haven’t seen this announcement, tumblr recently made some changes to the iOS version of the app, purportedly to comply with Apple’s content guidelines. These changes took effect on Dec 21, starting in version 22.5.1 of the iOS app. As some of you may recall, Apple’s strict guidelines were the driving force for the infamous Great Purge of 2018, which coincidentally also happened around this time of year, but it seems banning all of the female-presenting nipples wasn’t good enough for Apple.

Below is a summary of the important changes. Note that these changes technically ONLY affect those using the iOS app. If you’re accessing tumblr through a different app or operating system (Google Chrome, Android app, etc) it won’t affect you directly but it will affect your followers who use iOS so you should definitely be aware of it.

As usual, tumblr was extremely unclear and evasive about all of this in their official announcement. Not surprising, of course, since if more people were aware of these new draconian tactics I can’t imagine there wouldn’t be more of an uproar about it. Tumblr claims that these changes are somewhat temporary and that they are currently working on something that will allow for a less restricted iOS experience, but they refuse to say what that something is and when it will be implemented. And let’s just say, considering their track record, I’m not hopeful.

All of this is horrible and infuriating for many reasons, but the worst part is how insanely counterproductive it is to creating the “safe” environment tumblr (or more specifically Apple) supposedly wants.

Tags have always been used for both blog organization and filtering purposes. Tagging posts with triggers and content warnings is a common practice that gives users the ability to filter out content they may find upsetting or just don’t don’t want to see for whatever reason. By choosing to ban a bunch of unlisted “sensitive content” tags, all they’re doing is encouraging people who want to share that kind of content to come up with alternative less well-known tags or simply not tag that content at all anymore if they want it to show up on their follower’s dashboards, thereby making it more likely for someone to encounter it when they didn’t want to.

So really, with all of the alleged concern for safety and “protecting the children,” all they’ve done is make tumblr less safe for everyone. Typical.

for context JK Rowling was being voted a lot so boobers got to work💪

We can’t split the vote everyone vote Ranboo

Even if you don’t like MCYT, you have to admit: an 18 yr old who literally broke records raising more than $100,000 for the Trevor Project in honor of his trans cousin who passed winning person of the year would be a VERY funny “fuck you” to JKR.

And if that’s not enough for you, take a scroll through to see all the replies vouching for JKR. Fuck TERFs, and if anything, vote just to spite JKR tbh.

DONT FORGET

-Hes kid friendly

-He puts closed captions that are ADHD and dyslexia friendly (i have to double check this but i believe i remember seeing them on his videos and noticing them right away)

-He turns off his livestream screen if there are any unforseen issues like flashing images/lights (and i think he puts trigger warnings as well? I cant remeber off the top of my head)

-Hes a good example of internet safety (undisclosed name and face, is cautious about what he says online and how it may be misinterpreted)

-Actively supports other demographics and the issues they need help for (see the Trevor Project above)

And probably a whole lot more. This is just stuff ive learned by watching a couple of his streams and can remember off the top of my head.

As someone who often decides against watching any MCYT streamers, I still cannot find a single reason NOT to put this kid down for person of the year

ALSO: DO NOT VOTE TWICE

another one of his charity events was for charity water, an organization that provides clean water to families and communities. in one stream he raised $300k which provided 30 communities with clean water. thats 60k families who’s lives were so improved by him and his community.

also this man came back home from the uk where he was hanging out with his best pals for four months and almost immediately he gave his parents enough money to pay off the mortgage on their house. this mf genuinely cares so much despite acting like a cringe loser idiot man (endearing)

Y'all really see [REDACTED] and hit that reblog button, huh?

what does this say i just saw [REDACTED] and hit reblog

[REDACTED]

[REDACTED]?

Okay let me spell it out for you…

that’s a terrible explanation! here, this is much clearer.

I hate all of you

it’s a week out from payday and here we are again with an empty refrigerator and gas tank. plus everyone’s prescriptions need to be refilled and i REALLY need to take my wife’s cat back in to the vet for her follow up.

every tiny helps so much, i really can’t stress that enough, and you don’t have to apologize if you can’t give anything. this is a rough time of year for everyone and we’re all just trying to survive. <3

Could use help with food/supplies until I can find work. Otherwise I'll need to make this stretch for an indefinite amount of time and automatic bill withdrawals are undoubtedly going to tank me into overdrafts. I've been interviewing a lot so fingers crossed something will work out soon.

#CisWithTheT Trends as Thousands Decide to Denounce Transphobia

Into reports of the sudden and wonderful blossoming of the #CisWithTheT twitter hashtag in Britain.

Some say it was a toxic BBC article spreading TERF lies that created the uproar, while others point to the  Dave Chappelle tragedy.

Regardless, suddenly a lot of cis people had had enough of the transphobia and came out in strong support of trans people. 

Here are a few of the tweets:

Link to open letter here!

It seems good cis people have had enough of the constant barrage of transphobic falsehoods produced by trans-exclusionary radical feminists and  right wing extremists. Good people see and feel the suffering this propaganda is causing among trans people. Many of them also understand that this is a repeat of the homophobic rhetoric of yesterday.

Keep up the good work, cis allies. This is helping!

If you’re a UK resident please sign the letter and complain to the BBC! We cannot continue to let the TERF stronghold on British media continue.

cows... the gentlest and most curious of gods

ok wig this was supposed to say gods creatures

it’s time to yell at Discord before they help destroy the planet

Discord’s CEO is on twitter hinting about their apparent future involvement with NFTs/crypto.

In case you aren’t already aware, cryptocurrency is digital currency that sucks because it consumes an absurd amount of energy and computer parts, and NFTs are a way of creating false scarcity for digital items, which are bought and sold with crypto currency, and also suck. Here is an article about why that shit sucks. The article has additional information. Here is a twitter account that also documents NFT thefts & scams (NFTs are often stolen art sold without permission).

HERE IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO ASAP:

1. CANCEL NITRO. Don’t wait around for them to reverse course or apologize. Cancel it now, choose “other” when it asks why you’re canceling and write in your answer. They need to see the financial backlash right now. You can always re-sub if they backpedal, but right now they need the impetus to do the backpedaling.

2. GO HERE to their feedback forum. make a thread and tell them you cancelled nitro and don’t want them involved with crypto garbage. contribute to other threads if you see one that piques your interest. EXTRA CREDIT: downvote this thread, boo them, downvote the crypto dingdongs in the comments.

3. If you have twitter, tweet at them. tweet at @discord and reply to Jason’s tweet with whatever dunking and booing you feel like.

4. PASS IT AROUND. Tell your friends with nitro. Tell your favorite group chats and servers. Encourage them to do the same.

This is one of those situations where we need massive and decisive backlash RIGHT NOW to nip it in the bud. Your input really does matter right now. Shouting down shit like this has gotten even companies like Patreon to reverse course on bad decisions. Even the stupidest tech bros do respond to enough screaming. So SCREAM. Remind them where their real money comes from, and scare them away from the planet-destroying fake money.

Thousands of notes deep into this is a silly time to append something lol, but I saw someone point this out on twitter: when you cancel nitro, remove your payment method as well. If they go through with this, it WILL attract more scammers, which means a higher likelihood someone might break into your account. It’s just good security in general to remove payment method information from accounts that aren’t in frequent use.

And of course, ALWAYS make sure you have 2-factor authentication on.

Update: Jason Citron made an extremely wishy washy tweet saying there are “no current plans” to implement crypto-related features on Discord.

What this implies to me is that he’s waiting for the storm to pass so he can implement it more quietly later, and hope that the second round doesn’t spark such a big outrage.

Keep your wallet closed. Go back to twitter and the forum. Demand a definitive rejection of crypto. Don’t let them squeak their way out of this.

After signing, instead of donating to the change.org petition, which only funds the site, donate to Ashley's gofundme here or subscribe to her patreon: gofund.me/0d81499d patreon.com/FreeAshley You can also write to her via the FreeAshleyDiamond website: freeashleydiamond.com/write-to-ashley.html Another petition to sign and send her words of support is through the petition via the Center for Constitutional Rights: ccrjustice.org/home/get-involved/take-action/send-message-solidarity-ashley-diamond

Many of the comments from the Change.org petition are from a few months ago, so I was unsure if she was still in prison.. Going by what I read from the article below, it would seem that she is.

https://www.investigationdiscovery.com/crimefeed/survivor-stories/georgia-transgender-woman-sues-to-transfer-from-mens-prison

Please, please sign the petition and follow wisbright’s suggestions, whether that’s providing monetary support or signing another petition with words of support. Per the article:

“While a decision on the suit is pending, Diana Diamond told the news network her sister is “suffering cruel and unusual punishment” behind bars. ‘It’s like I’ve seen her soul leave her body,’ she said. ‘Ashley’s gone. Ashley Diamond that went to prison in 2012 is no longer here. This person that’s here will never ever be able to get over what’s been done to her.’

In April, the Department of Justice released a statement of interest in support of granting Diamond’s request to be transferred to a women’s facility for her safety. ’Intervention is needed,’ Diana said, ‘and if it’s not fast, quick and ASAP, I don’t think we’ll have an Ashley much longer.’”
