I might've added the BG3 Art Book to my dnd assets stash

It' 100% does not have things like the 5e players' handbook + 5e’s character sheet, several gm guides, critical role's explorer's guide to wildmount, baldur's gate and waterdeep city encounters, 101 potions and their effects, volo's guide to monsters, both of xanathar's guides, a bunch of other encounters, one shots, and class builds

In no way are there any pdf’s relating to any wizard who may or may not be residing on any coast

(Edit that I’ve moved the folder to the new link above! So if you catch a different version of this post that link won’t work anymore!)

I am always blown away by the mental disconnect between rich people and the rest of us.

I work for a doctor. He pulls in $70,000-$90,000 a month before tax. After tax, he's still $200,000+ a year.

I earn $52,000 a year.

Yet his wife will still talk to me and say "oh, we're not rich." She drives a Porsche. She wears Carla Zampatti. They live in a new townhouse that cost well over a million.

So, when she gives me recommendations on things to buy and I tell her I can barely afford Kmart, she seems genuinely perplexed.

They are NOT bad people. I've worked for them for 12 years now. They are good people with good hearts. But they no longer connect with reality on level and it's absolutely mindboggling.

And I think a large part of this is that rich people compare themselves to other rich people, not to the regular people.

He doesn't earn as much as a surgeon. He doesn't own a mansion or a helicopter (both of which I know a couple of surgeons own).

In comparison, they aren't as rich.

They were once poor, 25 years ago when he was starting to become a doctor. But that memory is skewed now. Or perhaps they always aimed for the Porsche and the month long holidays in Scotland so the journey meant something else.

But, holy shit, when she shows me something on sale that's still out of my price range, I feel that gap. And I don't envy her. I don't want a Porsche.

I just want to actually afford Kmart without saving up for it.

And since there seems to be some belief that I earn a huge amount, that is AUD.

It's $34,000USD, rounded up.

And yet, horrifyingly, she's kind of right.

Like yeah, the surgeon is unfathomably wealthy compared to someone who struggles to meet their basic needs... but he's fundamentally still working class. He gets his money from his labor, not by virtue of merely owning something.

Does the surgeon make more than he "deserves"? Maybe. Even if he's a plastic surgeon, I can still squint and kind of see how it makes sense for him to get paid that much. However, I do know that people who get their wealth by merely owning things absolutely don't deserve it.

And like, the important thing is that it's a difference in kind... but the difference in scale is absurd too. If her husband worked since Egyptians first started writing on papyrus, and didn't spend any money, he'd still have less than what Jeff Bezos makes in a week. The pay ratio between Bezos and the surgeon is 60,000x greater than the pay ratio between the surgeon and you... and he literally doesn't do anything besides own companies. Bezos literally does less work than you.

I don't like this fact at all.

That last point is an important point to make. There is a big difference between those who are paid large amounts of money for their work and those who make 1000x more simply by ownership of capital.

When i think of who in society probably deserve to be paid the most? I'd say neurosurgeons. It requires a huge amount of skill, dedication, and study. 8+ years of medical school. Many more years of training. But the higher end of neurosurgeon salaries is just under $1 million a year.

Yes that is a lot of money and you can debate if its too much or too little for their work, but the point is they are arguably ~the most highly skilled and intelligent workers in the world~ (qualities that neoliberals say are the most important in society) and yet they are still paid pennies on the dollar compared to capital owners.

It's Rita. We're done here for now

I'm sure everyone's heard by now that something's happened at least so I'll try keep it short [lie]. This post is a rough explanation and not a defense, if mutuals want to add evidence of what I claim then please do so, I will have a note to friends at the end, feel free to skip to that 🧡🤎

I got terminated on predstrogen due to mass false reports about sexually explicit content, I had evidence of these mass false reports, and when I asked support for help they stated "As you know, you posted sexually explicit content and additionally harrassed people"

My issue isn't with the account termination, it's the double standard around it

I've had multiple accounts. The first (madhopz) was terminated for content on sideblogs when I was doing sex work and I know I won't get it back. The second (sadhopz) was targetted by lolcow forums, and took half a year to get back, only once I humiliated myself to support by screenshotting and documenting what they were saying about me and sharing images of me. The third (predstrogen) I mentioned and I'll get back to, but I was never emailed to explain why the fourth (Avewy/Predesterone) was terminated. All we know is that it was right after the CEO got upset with me, I broke no rules and said no one should attack anyone, I posted no explicit content, none.

A man twice my age and worth $400,000,000 threatened to call the cops on a trans woman online, and then deleted me when I mentioned this

To add insult to injury, he refused to call me "she" the entire time, referring to me as "they" and backpedalling to vaguely refer to me as The Account. I'm a fucking person, and you know that by threatening to pin the cops on me. Eventually even slipping and calling me "it" before respecting the womanhood of the person he would gladly talk about and "make an exception for"

My complaint to his post was that he says I was banned for harrassment, which is a lie. I was banned for mass false reports of sexual content, despite having been told by staff directly a month prior that my blog does not break that rule, and have had people admit to collaborating on reports. But my biggest issue is that even if I was banned for harrassment, then what did they do about my own harrassment?

They did fuck all and told me my stalkers should not be removed from Tumblr

After banning me without a reason, I immediately got an email back about harrassment and stalking that I sent a support ticket about in December. They banned me twice before looking into this, and their conclusion was "we won't do a thing". These are people who have been on my ass all of last fucking year calling me a rapist and a pedophile, and they ignored it. Does that sound like a man who cares about harrassment on his site, or only when it happens to him?

After the ban on Predstrogen and I moved to Avewy, they were everywhere. Inbox messages claiming I was sending asks to children threatening to rape them, anonymous people stating they're our victim and are scared to speak out about what I did to them. It all only happened now. They've turned a blind eye and given these people a win. I saved it all in an #archive tag as proof if I was ever asked or got through to support, but that didn't happen when i was terminated without warning or reason

When Matt deleted me himself, he deleted everything I posted and saved as evidence for my situation. Anonymous asks slandering me, reblogs of people organising to get rid of me, my own documentation of what staff did, all of it was deleted with @avewy/@predesterone.

I don't want to be on this site anymore, I was happy all day today because I feel free without it. But I miss my accounts, because of all the memories with them. I don't want to use them, but I want @madhopz, @predstrogen, and @predesterone back so that all the times ive had with friends, lovers and strangers arent completely eradicated. Every single thing uploaded to Predstrogen is gone and marked mature now, even my face and identity, because this was a sexual content ban and not harrassment as they say. They found another reason after the fact

Give me my identity and my memories back

To all my friends and mutuals, thank you. Even people I've had falling-outs with have been nothing but kind and I want everyone to know I appreciate it. I saw every ask before deletion, I see how many people are on Discord. I can't keep up, but knowing you reached out at all means the world to me

I was happier today off this site than I have been in months. I'm not driving myself to breakdowns anymore by being on here, my mental and emotional state has been in ruins. Maybe I'll come back on this account, but for now I'm leaving it blank and still and moving on.

This post is incredibly meandering and too long, but I'm not trying to defend myself or document everything, I'm trying to make sure I say something to people I care for instead of disappearing, you deserve it. I'm doing well, please find me elsewhere.

[ID: First image is a post by predesterone; it contains a screenshot of text reading "In predstrogen's case in addition to some mistagged sexually explicit posts, which on its own wouldn't be that bad, we have documented cases of harassment. Most importantly, and why they are banned from Tumblr for life, is they made threats of violence against Tumblr staff."

Second image is a text reading "Thank you very much for your report and for bringing this situation to our attention. While Tumblr does not necessarily condone the opinions and content at issue, please keep in mind that we only remove content if it is in violation of our Terms of Service or our Community Guidelines. Because the content you reported is not a violation of our policies, we will not be removing it at this time."

Third and fourth images are two photos of Rita, a white trans woman with shoulder-length brown hair. In the first she wears cat ears, a fishnet sleeve, a cat paw glove, silver nail polish, a red collar with spikes and an o-ring, and a leather harness over a short-sleeved plaid shirt that’s zipped up to the base of her neck. In the second, she is standing and wearing camo pants, a red shirt, the same harness and collar, a black leather coat, and dark lipstick.

Video is of someone remote-detonating a car in a video game on stream; a red "you died" screen appears immediately afterwards. End ID]

hey hey HEY. when i joined tumblr in the early 2010s i remember a lot of millennials swearing they would never treat the younger generation as badly as they were treated and misrepresented. i'm seeing a lot of you going back on that. stop mocking young people and start remembering you were new to the universe too once

why pray to a god when theres a 30 year old alcoholic milf right there

I’m sorry 30 is too young to be a milf

ur thinking of cougar. theres no age requirement to be a milf. ive known milfs as young as 22 before.

Nah I think you have to have a highschool age kid to qualify for milf-dom

ur wrong. never speak with words again. from now on only emojis

so

I was sitting around thinking about disability and the queer community and how like… our persistence and our existence is so rarely looked at as being as beautiful as it is? and I rotated that idea in my mind and thought about how visually beautiful braille is when you see it printed out, when you look at how the light falls over a printed page.

the things we make are beautiful.

so here's where I am right now:

the starts of the lines are staggered & it reads LGBTQIA+

whereas this one says PROGRESS:

anyway i said i was done making patterns for our summer collection but i guess I lied? gotta finish the variants on this after i have a snack

I lied, my hyperfixation wouldn't let up until I put the first three (progress, lgbtqia+, asexual) on skirt mockups so I could see if I'd be happy with it and yes, yes I think i am

when I get back I will start moving alphabetically down the list now that my proof of concept is solid

''I hope this site gets sued''

*user has been banned for threatening matt's ability to purchase snacks and vape cartridges*

not to be that person actually but. please reblog so we can have legs

I learnt something today that I think is just beautiful. My grandmother was a very sick woman and pretty much housebound for the last of her life.  She derived great pleasure from watching her neighbour’s backyard chickens.  She adored these chickens.  Every time I called, she had new chicken drama to tell me—think Linda Belcher and the raccoons.   It turns out that at some point, their neighbour was no longer able to have chickens because due to a disability he could no longer afford to keep them.  My grandfather, upon learning this, immediately used his spending money to keep the neighbour in both chickens and chicken feed so that my grandmother would have chickens to watch since my grandfather didn’t have time to keep chickens at their home. He did this for ten years, guys.  TEN YEARS he secretly funded his neighbour’s backyard chickens so that my grandmother would have chickens to watch every day until the day she died.   That’s true love.

I can’t remember how long it’s been since I shared this. I remember it was on a day where I was really missing my grandmother. But I thought I should share an update.

You see, my grandfather loved my grandmother so much that I worried he’d decline when she passed. He was devastated. He’d been by her side every day for decades. They were one another’s whole world.

One day, I video called and there was a strange cat in his house. Turns out that he’s found a new love and moved her in but he was too bashful to tell me I’m case I thought it meant he didn’t still love my grandmother. I know better.

I adore his new girlfriend and I’m so happy he has found someone. A man who can love like that deserves to be loved back all his days. I’m so glad he has someone by his side again.

happy valentine’s day to the only couple ever

Dave is catching me up to the latest tumblr CEO news and uhhhh what is happening ?????

TO WHIT:

those of us who believe in trans unity need to not let this be swept under the rug. several users, including predstrogen, have reduced this to the very popular game of "TME" vs "TMA" again when this is so much bigger than our fake gender wars.

which is to say i'm very upset about that going on. we need to be unified now more than ever, not further divided. we all need to speak for our sisters and brothers effected by this.

Yup that's about everything I've seen so far. Very much interested in seeing the posts from ex staff though, since I seem to have missed that stuff.

here is one such post from @tinystepsforward, it's the longest/most comprehensive look behind the curtain of tumblr i've seen!

pirating movies by seeing them in tumblr gifs and basing my own story around them

that's how medieval peasants were supposed to use the stained glass windows to teach themselves bible stories when church was exclusively in latin
