Hey everyone, please consider buying the 2024 itch.io Palestinian Relief Bundle- it's 373 games, game-making assets, tabletop roleplaying games, zines, and comics for a minimum of just 8 USD! They have a goal of 100,000 USD, and as of the time I'm writing this post, they have 8 more days to reach it.

Link will be in the reblog!

Amazing news!! They reached their goal of 100,000 USD! There is now a second goal of 250,000 USD! Remember, this is 373 games, assets, and comics for a minimum of 8 USD- a bundle of items which would normally be ~1,667 USD! Let's reach that second goal as quickly as we reached the first goal!

Fantastic news!!! The 250,000 USD goal has been met, and there is now a third goal of 500,000 USD! The deadline has also been extended, and as of the time I'm writing this update, there is 13 more days to reach their newest goal!

The money raised so far has already been incredible. Let's maintain this energy and continue to provide support for the PCRF!

Hey everyone! Am I back? Idk. Am I alive? Yeah, a bit.

So it's been a while, hasn't it? Things have happened since I last posted.. uh.. -checks last post- Wow, 2022? Ok. Yeah, since then I've:

  • Moved out of my parents
  • Got top surgery
  • Had some unfortunate revelations both about myself and the industry I work in (sadly I still work in it because capitalist society and disability but I go into it eyes open now)
  • Learned my parents are shit, actually
  • Oh and the seven billion changes to tumblr, naturally.

So, y'know, an eventful couple of years. But with the slower season of work upon me, I might be able to stop by and write a little. If you'll still have me, of course. It's no fun without you all.

-Emerges from the depths of Pharmaceutical Hell-

Hey all. I’m still here, still perusing when I can. But as it stands, I’m trying my hardest just to make work.. well, work. Right now I work 100% standing up, and any days I have off are spent recovering from how not good for my body that is.

Before anyone asks, I turned in a doctor’s note day 1, but they’re having me go though ‘proper channels’ to accommodate me. This is form 3 I need to have my doc fill out. There may be a meeting.

So if I seem.. silent (not scarce, silent), it’s because this job is taking almost everything of me. I love it, but it’s a lot. Hopefully I get that seat and I’ll have energy to do literally anything else soon (like be back here)

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.

  • The list of banned tags has been expanded. As before, there’s no way to know which words or phrases have been banned until you try searching for them, in which case you’ll either get no search results or the following message: “This content has been hidden because of potentially suggestive or explicit content.” You may think this doesn’t concern you if you don’t post explicit material, but do not make the mistake of expecting the banned tags to be logical or reasonable. I’ve already encountered multiple completely innocuous posts (random fandom gifsets) that seem to be hidden on iOS for no discernible reason.
  • Blogs that have been flagged as explicit can no longer be viewed. Previously, flagged blogs just had their posts hidden from searches, but if you knew the username you could still visit it after clicking through a warning about sensitive content. Now you can’t access it at all.
  • Likes and reblogs from blogs that have been flagged will no longer show up in your notes. This one won’t affect most people’s user experience as much as the others, but it does mean you may be missing notes. It’s unclear if likes and reblogs from flagged blogs will still count towards the overall note total (and only be missing from the activity feed and note viewer) but I suspect that’s the case.
  • THE BIG ONE: ANY POST TAGGED WITH A BANNED TAG WILL NO LONGER SHOW UP ON YOUR DASHBOARD. Previously, if you tagged a post with a banned word or phrase (even if the words were used inside another tag), that post would not show up in searches, but your followers would still be able to see it on their dashboard. Now those posts are hidden from your own followers as well. This includes both original posts and reblogs. And if that wasn’t bad enough, here’s the real kicker: even if you don’t tag something with one of the banned words, if the OP used a banned tag, any reblogs of that post will not show up on anyone’s dashboard (on the iOS app). The only saving grace here, and I hate to even call it that, is that the blocked posts are still visible if you visit a blog directly or if you have post notifications turned on.

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.

So two things: I am gonna make that multimuse. But do I make a sideblog or revamp the old one? (I’m seriously asking, because people here have better experience with running multiple blogs.

Also, I got another job. I’m gonna be a pharmacy tech soon (I gotta go jump through some hoops before they’ll actually put me on a schedule though). It’ll be an actual living wage, and in the field I wanna be in. Still at about half time, too, give or take.

Throw all that together, and you may not see me around as much (though to be fair have you seen me around a lot lately?). I’ll be here, though. Can’t keep me away from here long.

Things to do:

  • Make Gd/ocs for this blog so it can be mobile friendly
  • Update the theme so it’s not so.. broken.
  • DRAFTS (maybe)
  • Something something multimuse (it’s either a sideblog or revamp the one I already have)
  • Maybe a nap bc I’m apparently the emotional backbone of this household holy shit

“I’d rather go for a swim.” Parsons deadpanned, his head snapping towards her. He couldn’t help but crack a smile and he stood up with his fingertips resting against the cafeteria table- just in case. He swung out his other arm, motioning for her to go in front of him.
“Lead the way to your fictional, tree-lined boulevard.” It would be easier if she led the way. She wouldn’t be able to see him if he got unsteady on his feet and she if she didn’t see that, she wouldn’t think, or even ask, if he had been day-drinking. He had stopped drinking altogether last week but it hadn’t changed a thing. The feeling of drunkenness stayed with him, there was no bonus of feeling elated or being charismatic, it was trudging through dizziness and confusion. “What are you envisioning? Central Park?”

“So would I but we have to make do.” She returned the smile, just a little, before heading off towards the perimeter of the camp. Even if Paige noticed the balance issue, she definitely wrote it off on his typical day drinking. They’d just stay places he can brace himself.

“Well, mine looks like home. Lots of trees there. Think suburbia, but a little darker.” Honestly, she didn’t know if he actually had a frame of reference to judge against, but she’d try to make it easier. “Trees lined the streets, forests around, even in the back yards. Rich people really like trees, apparently.”

     the world has been fading in and out since the impact. she doesn’t 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑 much. she remembers hitting the ground, and the darkness that had come almost immediately after it. only for blinding light to replace it soon afterwards, and the feeling of 𝐖𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒. 
     for a brief moment, she considers the unthinkable, that she had died there. that the weightlessness is the new normal, and that she might finally find her place at the maker’s side. but there are noises that are too 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐃 for her to believe it for too long, the sound of weapons scraping the floor, cries of pain and cries of joy. 
     once things begin to make sense, her eyes open a little more, and she’s able to make out the silhouette of whoever is carrying her. 
          ❝is it over? what happened?
@paigeatyourservice​ asked: [ CARRY ]  for your muse to pick up my muse and carry them .

They all saw the blinding light. The Inquisitor, sending Corypheus into the Fade with his own weapon, and sealing the hole in the sky. But Paige had been busy beating back demons and undead, trying to both keep herself alive, and keep Leliana safe.

Once the palace started to drop, Paige had been knocked back. But the enemy was on the retreat. With the others on clean up, she could take wounded back to Skyhold. And she knew who was first.

“It’s over. We won.” She’s carrying her bridal style, looking for a bed to put her in, but the casualties from both the Wilds and this final battle were heavier than anticipated.

“I think maybe your room would be better. But first, look at the sky.”
