happy lesbian visibility week
Fundraiser masterpost
This is a masterpost for the evacuation fundraisers I've vetted so far, a few other fundraisers I find trustworthy but have not been able to vet (inability to communicate with the organizer), and a few semi-completed fundraisers or fundraisers for a different purpose (like house rebuilding, or aid distribution). The numbers next to the names have no significance beyond ease of navigation for me for when I check their progress in the future. You should look at the disclaimers instead and focus on those. Occasionally I will update these with new info, including new fundraisers, and the amount of cash that's been raised. Check in regularly on the original post when you see it being reblogged. In all likelihood once its reached you it's already outdated. Also please don't overlook the Sustainable Aid options near the bottom! The brain drain is already creating problems but having another way of keeping or creating new knowledge and key members of a functioning society is important.

They really went there huh.
@acelacealex i thought people should see this
this is it this is the whole comic
PSA: Tumblr/Wordpress is preparing to start selling our user data to Midjourney and OpenAI.
you have to MANUALLY opt out of it as well.
to opt out, click your blog ➡️ blog settings ➡️ scroll til you see visibility options and it’ll be the last option to toggle.
you also have to opt out for each blog you own separately, so if you’d like to prevent AI scraping your blog i’d really recommend taking the time to opt out. (source)
Fortune Lover: A Maiden's Heart (Lost Souls AU)
A Fortune Lover Yuri/GL Spin-off
Main Character: Sterling
Capture targets: Vivian, Felicia, Hayden
Side characters: Emery, Geordo, Maria
In the northern part of Sorcier, Lousabre, there is a royal academy at the kingdom. A new student named Sterling entered there, and the rumor has it that she has a rare magic. This caught a lot of attention, especially nobles who attended there.
Protagonist
Sterling Lowell
- A commoner student at the Royal Academy
- A loner, but she's actually gentle and kind
- Magical element is light but hides it
- Someone is looking for them
Capture targets
Vivian Nolan
- The daughter of Duke Nolan
- She plays the ‘genki girl’ archetype
- Childhood friends with Felicia
- Magical element is fire
Felicia Davis
- The daughter of Marquess Davis
- She plays the 'aloof dark-haired girl'
- Does not trust Sterling at first but eventually likes her
- Magical element is water
Hayden Gray
- The daughter of Earl Gray
- She plays the ‘princely ikemen onee-san’ archetype
- Popular with girls, but Sterling caught her the most attention
- Magical element is wind
Butterfly effect: Sterling was intended to be the main protagonist for Maiden's heart, but since Katarina is not the villainess for FL anymore, it alters Sterling’s past and turned her into an antagonist.
Notes:
- I headcanon that Lousabre is based on Norway, Sweden, and England (and maybe Belgium). I'd like to think that they have some viking influence.
- Maria and Sterling are related in a way. I'm still not sure if I should make them distant relatives or not.
- Hayden is based on Kaoru Seta from Bang Dream and Manaria Sousse from I'm in love with the villainess
Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you.
AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.
Here are the important details:
- We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner.
- We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.
- To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.
- For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc.
- Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.
If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.
Heads up y'all, time for more AI bullshit. Go opt out in your blog settings.
be free!!
JURY. NULLIFICATION.
this is not jury nullification! the court will just try afain until they find enough moral-majority neighborhood-watch fascist-bootlicker types who will convict food not bombs! do not self-select out of this process or you will leave the decision in the hands of assholes.
if you ever find yourself in this situation please please please do you your best to get selected for the jury! getting rejected sounds cool online, but getting selected means you can vote to acquit and actually end the trial in their favor! that is jury nullification!
Misogyny is not an inherent biological feature in men. It’s a societal ill that men are taught and socially rewarded for perpetuating. Spreading the idea that misogyny is biological is a really defeatist way of looking at things because leads to people thinking that women being harassed and attacked and murdered is just the natural order of things and not something that we can push back against and change and eradicate.

Lost Souls AU
Since Katarina was originally supposed to be a villainess but turned herself accidentally into a heroine
what if
Sterling was supposed to be a heroine but turned into a villainess
Like there's some kind of a butterfly effect to another character when Katarina is not a villainess anymore
[You fade out of sight, far, far away, leaving me behind
can't quite see it anymore, that night crumbles apart.
Don't cry, just don't cry,
But the truth is, I want to say it out loud,
"Don't go."]
