This Is A Really Good Thread.

When someone disagrees with you online and demands you prove your point to their satisfaction by writing a complete and logically sound defense including citations, you can save a lot of time by not doing that.

Bro, I’ve known you for twelve seconds and enjoyed none of them, I’m not taking homework assignments from you.

i have. a lot of big complicated thoughts about how people tend to treat depression as like. as if it’s nothing. like it’s the most basic easiest mental illness ever. why do we do this. depression kills people. constantly. people will throw around “depression and anxiety” and say they’re totally normalized nonstigmatized disorders and then you realize they only think mild versions of these disorders exist. i have a laundry list of mental disorders and the only one that’s ever actually put my life at risk was depression. if you throw around depression as if it’s the mildest least harmful mental illness ever have you considered shutting the fuck up.

Me: *TAKES DEEP BrEATH* M E: I LO- anyone who has spent five seconds around me ever: yes, you love MEIKO MOCHIZUKI, we get it okay, you love MEIKO, /MEIKO/ IS ALSO A Brightest F*CKING Starshine in your life, you f*cking ADORE THEM, yes okay YES, you love MEIKO MOCHIZUKI, HOW many times are we gonna go thrOUGH this, yOU F*CKING LOVE MEIKO MOCHIZUKI AND IT'S OK FOR YOU TO LOVE MEIKO *INCLUDING* AND *ESPECIALLY* EXACTLY AS MEIKO EXISTED IN ALL OF MEIKO'S CANON!!!!!

Autistic person: *is autistic*

Ableists: I am going to say a slur now.

So, like I said, I really wanted to create something new to celebrate Odaiba Day. I had no real plan going into this and I'll admit that I was kind of winging it. Because of this it's not the most detailed story I've ever written. But it's still okay and certainly better than nothing.

Once more, happy Odaiba Day to all the Chosen Children around the world!

who up hating pop psychology

some very important info re: paid accounts~

I am not a lawyer, but I can decently interpret legalese and, being as I also suffer from tl;dr syndrome and assume others may as well, I took one for the team and went through the updated TOS for the post+ accounts and highlighted (what I understand to be) the most pertinent information, which ultimately comes down to this:

You cannot monetize copyrighted works (aka charge and earn money from fanfic, fanworks, etc) and if you do decide to put your fanworks behind a paywall via Tumblr, when you are inevitably sued, Tumblr will not protect you and will not defend you and you alone, personally, will be responsible for whatever monetary damages said lawsuit results in.

If anyone is a lawyer and knows I've gotten any of this wrong, please do not hesitate to correct me/this post.

Screenshots taken from Tumblr's TOS (updated 7-21-21), Stripe's Account Agreement, and the post+ FAQs.

1. Your paid account will not be hosted by tumblr; it is routed through a 3rd party.

2. By signing up for a paid account, you're entering into an agreement with Stripe, so in addition to Tumblr's TOS, you are also bound to Stripe's TOS.

3. Stripe, like Tumblr, will not defend you or protect you against any lawsuits.

4. Furthermore, you may end up owing Stripe money (indemnify = compensate)

5. Tumblr's TOS specifically states that you can't put any content on your post+ account that violates any laws, including laws that protect intellectual property rights of others. This is super important, because Tumblr's post+ FAQ also states that you can post anything that you would regularly post on tumblr, which I'm sure many will take to mean that gifsets, fanworks, etc are fair game, since all of that stuff can be posted on tumblr now. However, the difference is, you're not making money from the fanworks you're posting or reblogging now. Once money enters the equation, the game changes.

Tumblr is making it seem like any and all content goes for post+ accounts, knowing 90% of this site is fanworks. This is not true and you'll be opening yourself up for lawsuits if you charge for fanworks.

6. Tumblr further disclaims any and all liability in any legal issues.

tl;dr: Please do not make a post+ account, bc you will be opening yourself to lawsuits and if that happens, Tumblr's response will be not our problem, you agreed to all the terms which said you couldn't do that, sorry not sorry. Please protect yourself.

i just wanted to clarify some things

artists know the risk they are taking when they post their art online. people are inevitably going to take it apart, color edit it, flip it around or otherwise post it uncredited.

saying that an artist shouldn’t post their work if they don’t want it bastardized is probably the stupidest stance on this subject you could take. if all artists followed this line of reasoning, there would be no art on the internet. 

when an artist posts their work, they are trusting you to enjoy it respectfully. and when you betray that trust either knowingly or unknowingly, it’s like saying the artist’s time, skills and thoughts aren’t worth anything.

you are NOT entitled to an artists work just because they decided to trust you enough to share it with you.

an artist is within their right to feel upset that someone has used their work in a way they never intended it to be used. they are within their right to ask for it to stop and not happen again.

just because it’s “bound to happen” doesn’t mean it’s any less deplorable.

Ghosts and ur birth chart Vedic Astrology Part 1

First of all thank you everyone for sending me your birth charts. I'm now able to make this posts because of y'all 🥹

I can't see ghosts but I'm very scared of them as in my dreams the ghosts usually tries to take me away or want to take over my body for which even in my dreams I'm always chanting mantras or names. ( If anyone of you have similar experience I would like to have a chat )🙇‍♀️

💀 A heavily afflicted moon is the most prominent reason of connection with ghost, shadows, etc. it includes all seeing, hearing, talking, etc.

☠️ people having Moon+ Rahu combination can see shadows, etc.

☠️ 12th house is connected to spirituality so planets like saturn, Rahu, Ketu, in this house or aspecting the 12th house too can make a native contact with otherworldly things.

☠️ Sun + Rahu + Ketu + Moon + Saturn and Mars are all the planets which u need to look in your birth chart to know why are you seeing them.

☠️ Mars is blood and is connected to our ancestors that's why Mars is also behind in contacting spirits to u.

☠️ 12th house lord with the ascendant lord, strong connection with 8th house, heavy 12th or 8th house/stellium

☠️ 8th house will make the native suffer alot with the otherworldly things even if you can't see them you're able to feel, sense like Doumeki.
