"you're Making Everything About You" You're In My Mentions Lol

on international women’s day don’t forget the day was started by jewish socialist women & immigrants striking against unfair labour conditions and the first marches that began the international women’s day movement were organized by socialists as well. it isn’t just some uwu solidarity good feel day, it is explicitly a day to talk about labour, to show solidarity with working class women, to strike back against capitalism, and if your women’s day organizing leaves behind women of colour, immigrants & jewish women, focuses on how women should “lean in” & acquire corporate power over others, you’re fucking up bad.

“You might not realize it, but in-your-face displays of heterosexuality are everywhere — the family photo on a desk, the man and woman holding hands on the beach, or an opposite-sex couple kissing in a bar. No one accuses these couples of “flaunting” their sexuality, but make it two men or two women in the photo holding hands or smooching, then we’ve crossed the line. That’s the double standard.”

For the love of all that you enjoy: DON’T PAYWALL YOUR FANFICTION.

Again, but louder:

DON’T PAYWALL YOUR FANFICTION

It’s getting more and more common. I’ve seen three posts about it in the last 24 hours - patreons where you’ll get “exclusive” fanfiction stories if you’re a subscriber.

Don’t.

Don’t do it.

It’s annoying, but mostly it’s fucking dangerous.

The whole fanfiction community prosper on someone else’s turf under “fair use” laws. In simple terms: we can play with other people’s creations for as long as it’s done for our own amusement, and that of our followers.

Once any kind of financial benefits are made, it becomes another abuse of someone else’s rights.

And look, I get it. It sucks, especially seeing the artists take commissions while the authors get nothing, and it takes hours and hours of our time, and I understand people are looking for a side hustle to make ends meet in this monstrosity of a capitalist society, but if we don’t stop it from happening, the rights owners will stop it.

And they’ll stop it for everyone.

It’s not worth it. Don’t do it.

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.

“What’s so bad about reposting?”

“It’s easy to make gifs, who cares.“ 

 Wrong. 

And here’s why: 

Presumably, you’re reposting because you either: 

a) don’t have access to the video that’s gif’d because you don’t know where it’s from or you don’t know how to download it. Which already proves that making gifs is difficult because of the time spent video hunting and downloading. (You’d be surprised how hard it is to download videos from certain websites.)

b) don’t have access to photoshop, because you’re not sure how to download it, or you do have it but don’t know how to work it. Which again, proves making gifs is difficult because it’s more than just right clicking then saving as (which is what reposting is - so if you catch yourself doing this, stop!) You have to learn how to use photoshop to actually make a gif, and to actually use photoshop you have to know how and where to download it. Some people even pay for it, and it’s extremely unfair to those that do because something they essentially paid for is getting stolen from them.

Gifs are not even just about being able to do the basic load files into stacks or import layers from frames, whichever method of gif making you prefer. Nope. It’s about coloring as well, which makes your gif unique and different from someone else’s. People spend time making their gifs look nice in addition to spending their time looking for the right video and whatnot. 

So have some respect for people that do their best to provide you with pretty gifs on your dashboard to reblog >:( 

(No, it does not count if you repost someone’s gif and “give credit”, especially if the source is “it’s not mine but I found it on Google”. Tumblr made a beautiful function called a REBLOG. Use it. It’s your best friend.) 

Next time you say, “everyone reposts” or “they’re just gifs”, keep in mind making gifs isn’t actually as easy as some people belittle it to be! Try making gifs for yourself and see how hard it is. Really, try. 

(And if you’re thinking, “oh making gifs is so easy! I’ve tried it!” then it literally costs you $0.00 to make your own gifs and gain notes through your own hard work. Seriously. Stop taking credit for someone else’s hard work.)

Stopping reposts can happen if you take a step to stop yourself from reposting and letting others know why it’s bad too. If no one tells you what you’re doing is wrong, how would you know what you’re doing isn’t right? One by one, we can all eventually stop reposting because it’s very disrespectful to artists (yes, gif makers are considered artists too). If you want notes, earn them yourself just like how every original content makers do. And even if you can’t make anything yourself, don’t be mean. Support people’s works. 

(This applies to everyone that makes original content, fan art, fan fiction, graphics, etc. The steps in between to make them are different, but reposts effect all of us the same. Please stop reposting and respect the artists.)

This is the "no reposting" rules and Interaction banner on the post this gif came from. If looking at the post directly, my rules on asking to reuse + repost have been posted there for years. This user has NOT contacted me directly to ask my Permission to repost, likely found via Tumblr search, and didn't check usernames under the gif once it was on the blog. My rules have been in effect on my blog on every gif post I've ever made since before 2020 and even caps and fanworks I made from 2017~2020, including in Daikari's tag directly:

My Daikari moment

People always ask why do you ship Daikari over Takari? Isn't Takari more obvious? Takari is very obvious in the show to the point where it surprised me that it wasn't canon - Takeru cares a lot about her and it's highlighted even more in the dub. So what makes me ship Daikari over it? This moment right here - Hikari is shown to be a very kind character, she always has been. Yet Takeru's literally had breakdowns and rage attacks over BlackWargreymon and while Hikari looks worried, she doesn't do anything for him - she doesn't ask if he's ok, she doesn't console him and he's just as expressive as Daisuke is if not more because he's enraged/angry. Yet Daisuke gets sad/discouraged and she passionately speaks up when his best friend, partner and her own partner are right there. Anyone could have reassured him and spoken up but they didn't. So, yes Takari may feel more obvious but to me, Hikari's responses to Daisuke are what win me over because yes, she cares about Takeru a lot but something about the way she cares for Daisuke makes me ship them.
