Happy 2-year friend-versary to my fave, Sherrie! 🩷🩵💙💜 Even though our messages have evolved from live chats everyday to paragraph messages every few days, I’m always grateful to have you as my bestie from 10,000 miles away! I can confirm that the Canadian trip from 2022 is still very much my personality! 😂😂😂 And I still get oddly excited when I see things related to Canada (or more specifically, Toronto and Montreal) because they all just remind me of you!

It’s been so great to see you grow in the last year as well! It makes me so happy to see you do well and be living life well (those holidays and concerts!). 🥺🥺🥺 Wishing you always the best of luck in everything that you do!

Although you barely hear me complain about That Project ™️ anymore, you have now graduated to hearing me complain about That Flaky Project Manager ™️ so thank you for always putting up with my work stories! 🤣 I hope my work stories continue to be a source of entertainment to you and perhaps they’ll also be writing inspo for you! 🫠🫠🫠 I will also always think it’s funny that now you know so much about me that you even know the people around me despite having never met them yet! (And to be perfectly honest, some of my in real life friends also know you as The Canadian Friend ™️! 😂😂😂)

Every year, I’ll wish that we’ll meet up again in real life soon and this year is no different! 💖💖💖

Also even though we have less time (?) to be as delulu as before (?????), I have still found screenshots to summarise our 2nd year of friendship! 🥺🥺🥺

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 on desktop, click your blog ➡️ blog settings ➡️ scroll til you see visibility options and it’ll be the last option to toggle.

to opt out on mobile, click your blog ➡️ scroll then click visibility ➡️ toggle opt out option.

if you’ve already opted out of showing up in google searches, it’s preselected for you. but 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)

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

here's some instructions for anyone who doesn't know how to opt out:

  1. login in on desktop, it's not available on mobile yet
  2. click "Account"
  3. click on your blog
  4. go to "Blog Settings"
  5. go to "Visibility"
  6. Scroll down to the bottom option
  7. turn the toggle ON, not off

you will have to do this individually for each sideblog you have too, no way to do it for each account in one go

pairing: mingyu x f!reader
wc: ~19k
synopsis: in which it's the summer before college, the new lifeguard is a pain in your ass, and you just want to have fun surfing before you have to leave it all behind.
notes: lifeguard!mingyu, surfer!reader, brief one-sided enemies-to-lovers, summer-before-college!au, netflix coming-of-age romcom coded, set in hawaii, special thanks to @husbandhoshi for helping me with the finishing touches mwah <3

It’s the sign of summer—water glistening in midday sunlight, loud chatter from families with beach blankets and baskets ready for a relaxing day out, people littered throughout the expanse of sand ready to sunbathe their vacation time away. Sun and sea salt, what more could you ask for?

A lot, apparently. And quite frankly, you think it’s ridiculous.
