HOW TO BLOCK TAGS:A PSA

Hi there buddy chum pal friend buddy bro homie amigo (gender neutral) !

I see you don't like a certain tag. Let's learn how to BLOCK IT!

This goes hand in hand with my recent post, and I felt like I should share this for my peeps so y'all can be safe out there.

Only you can prevent cringe shit from coming across your feed.

Step Numbah 1: Go to your account

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step Numberrrr 2: Look for "Content You See"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step Number Three: Filtered Tags VS Filtered Post Content

Filtered Tag: A filtered tag is something set by creator of a post. For example, if a post is cringe ass nae nae baby to you, you can type in "Cringe Ass Nae Nae Baby" tag and any post tagged with "Cringe Ass Nae Nae Baby" will say "This post contains filtered tags".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Filtered Post Content: Now if you're uncomfortable with a certain word, you can filter it out via this. Keep in mind if any person's username, title, or post has this word anywhere in it, you will be unable to see it (unless you select to be allowed to). If a past reblog has said tag, it will also be filtered out.

Note: Tumblr will let you know which tags are filtered out and give you the option to view them if you wish.

Step #4: MAKE USE OF THE COMMUNITY FILTERS

Each of these is self explanatory- however Show, Hide, and Blur can be a lil silly.

Show- Straightforward, it will show you ALLL of these posts unless you have filtered tags.

Blur- If you have a community tag blurred, it will warn you that it has sensitive material. It gives you the option to view with the warning.

Hide- Hide will hide anything related to the community tag. For example gore out fall under violent, so it would be hidden completely.

"Is having your belly rubbed as great as dogs make it out to be?"

"It absolutely is," Salem said, digging another hole for yet another plant. "I got to be a red wolf for a while and lemme tell ya, it feels weird but bein' rubbed 'n' pet, especially behind the ears 'n' right there between yer neck 'n' shoulder blades? Oh, it's the best."

Don’t put too much Weight on RP.

Take a break. RP should not dictate your life. If you find it dictating your mental health, it’s likely a time to take a step back. RP is a hobby. It can be frustrating if people aren’t replying to memes/starters/etc. But remember timezones are a thing, sometimes other people aren’t in the best mental state themselves, sometimes people are too busy IRL to watch the dash, sometimes they have writer’s block. There will be other days. There will be other interactions. People still care about you and your muse(s). Try again later, there is no shame in reblogging stuff from yourself.  But do not guilt people into interacting with you.

At the end of the day RP is a hobby. We’re here to have fun. Don’t let it dictate everything.

I needed this.

Thank you to all the people who posted this so I ended up seeing it. I really needed this right now. Thank you!

Yeah… Not gonna lie… I cried…

We need more people like this

Goddamn it stop making me feel human

The therapist I wanna be.

Text in the image:

“I’m a therapist and keep this poster in my waiting room, apparently it’s saved a few lives.”

I don’t like the phrase “a cry for help.” I just don’t like how it sounds. When somebody says to me, “I’m thinking about suicide. I have a plan: I just need a reason not to do it,” the last thing I see is helplessness.

I think your depression has been beating you up for years. It’s called you ugly, and stupid, and pathetic, and a failure, for so long that you’ve forgotten that it’s wrong. You don’t see any good in yourself, and you don’t have any hope.

But still here you are: you’ve come over to me, banged on my door and said, “HEY! Staying alive is REALLY HARD right now! Just give me something to fight with! I don’t care if it’s a stick! Give me a stick and I can stay alive!”

How is that helpless? I think that’s incredible. You’re like a marine: trapped for years behind enemy lines. Your gun has been taken away, you’re out of ammo, you’re malnourished, and you’ve probably caught some kind of jungle virus that’s making you hallucinate giant spiders.

And you’re still just going, “GIVE ME A STICK. I’M NOT DYING OUT HERE.” “A cry for help” makes it sound like I’m supposed to take pity on you, but you don’t need my pity. This isn’t pathetic. This is the will to survive. This is how humans lived long enough to become the dominant species.

With NO hope, running on NOTHING, you’re ready to cut through a hundred miles of hostile jungle with nothing but a stick, if that’s what it takes to get to safety.

All I’m doing is handing out sticks.

You’re the one saying alive.

I legit cried at this. I’ve needed to hear it put this way. Bless this post.

Every time I see this post I stop to read the whole image. It always helps — even on the good days.

Because it wasn’t weakness. It wasn’t shameful to seek help. It wasn’t pathetic to “cry for help”. I was looking for a stick, be that from myself or from someone else. I was trying to find a way out. I was trying to heal myself.

this is fuckin incredible. 

I’m sorry if I repost to many of these, but if it could be someone’s “stick” then it’s worth it

For anyone that needs to read this today.

Text on second poster:

‘WHY ARE YOU SO LAZY?’

But you’re not lazy. Lazy is when you shrug things off because you can’t summon up the give-a-damn. When you’re curled up tight in your chair at your desk, alone and grey and desperately wishing that you had your life in order, that you did all those things you had to do, that it didn’t feel like breaking rocks just to feed and clothe yourself and get some sleep, that’s not lazy.

People don’t understand. You tell them “It’s hard.” They tell you “No it isn’t, you’re just lazy.”

You start to wonder if they’re right.

is breaking those rocks easy for everyone else? Are they that much stronger than you?

They don’t look like they’re struggling.

“Just try harder,” they say. But you’re trying. It’s not working.

Breaking boulders in your path until you’re spent isn’t lazy. And you do it day after day after day.

You’re not lazy. Most people don’t have those rocks to break. They don’t even know what it’s like to have to break rocks to get things done. They don’t understand how hard you have to work, and how hopeless you can feel, when you try and fail to do what they do so easily. Things are harder for you. They really are. And if those people had to deal with your problems, they wouldn’t be doing any better.

You’re not lazy. You’re not weak. You’re fighting hard. I guess I just want you to know that I know that.

"Bonechard, is my mane greasy?" -Gunmar

Avatar

Bonely looked up from his leather work and cocked his head. He'd been making training armor for the whelps out of the leathered hides of Sotsona's last herd tribute.

"Greasy?" he asked, setting down his tools. "Lemme see."

The indigo troll trundled over and pulled Gunmar lower so he could run his claws through his mate's mane. "Eh, not too much," he said, combing Gunmar's mane approvingly. "Got a healthy sheen, a bristle but not brittle. I'd say it's as healthy as yeh can get down here. However," he lowered his claw and met Gunmar's eye with his own. "If it's botherin' yeh, I'll get this here finished up 'n' I can tend teh it."

He gave a grin and nuzzled the warlord's chin. Sure, it was sappy, but this was HIS work station, and if anyone had a problem with him taking the opportunity to flirt with his bond, well, that's what thralls were for, weren't they?

"C'mon, help me with these. I wanna make sure these fit Bronte 'n' Velda with their horns comin' in."

found these on twitter that might be helpful to all rpers who want to make sure their themes and carrds are accessible to all

consider this for themes as well

Many TUMBLR users need to learn this

PSA

if you are doing any kind of design meant to reach large numbers of people, download a colorblindness filter (i use CVSimulator, its pretty simple and free) and use it religiously

you can use color contrast checkers like WebAIM to make sure the foreground/background colors are legible & meet web content accessibility standards as well

" i am what you might think as a .. centaur. centaur.."

Avatar

Salem looked the "centaur" over, his blue eyes wide with fascination as his brother tried to figure out just what he was looking at. Golden fur, eye stalks, scorpion tail--it was like looking at some kind of well-put-together chimera!

"A centaur," Salem repeated, walking around to see as much of the newcomer as he could. "Ain't ever seen anythin' like yeh! I mean, we've got faunum 'n' mythaunum, 'n' you'd probably qualify as a mythaunum since yeh don't look like yeh fit inteh any specific fauna class."

While the taller of the brothers admired and examined the newcomer's Bonely stroked his chin, his blue eyes narrowed in thought.

"So," he asked, looking up at the new-comer, "where yeh from? You off-world 'nother planet? Or out-world, a, uh, a different plane? We ain't Naboo or anythin' so I'm just curious where-" he stopped and put a fist on his hips. "Salem would yeh give the fella some space! Jeez, it's like yeh've never seen an off worlder before!"

Salem felt his cheeks heat up as he took a step back and bobbed his head apologetically. "Sorry 'bout that," he said apologetically. "We don't get a lot a' folks from other worlds here on Bel'Terum. So it's either a real treat or a real scare fer some folks."

Bonely gave a shrug. "Happens when yer on the fringes a' the Unknown Regions," he said and moved to extend a hand to the six-limbed alien as he introduced himself. "Stan Bonachard, but you can call me Bonely. This here is my brother, Salem." He gestured toward Salem, who tipped his hat with a smile.

"So what brings yeh this far out, friend?" Salem asked, curiously. "Somethin' up with the nav?"
