Sorry I Havent Been Posting Much Ive Just Been Going Through A Lot Of Life Stuff. Not Like Super Heavy

...save for those with which we partner.

cool. real cool. fuck this. tomorrow i am going to nightshade all of my art (and Glaze it too) and replace every single image on my blog with those versions of it. i might not even opt out just to poison the AI well more (should be opt-in anyway, pricks).

fuck you all. in fact, i might just delete my art sideblog. i'm not gonna post any new art at all actually. I'll pivot to other sites for that. thanks for making this place even more of an uphill battle to have fun and share things on.

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.

thought id take a crack at an obscure sorrow because the dictionary of obscure sorrows still doesnt get at everything i want words for

laccevenomism - /læt͡ʃːəˈvɛnəmɪzm/ or /lækːəˈvɛnəmɪzm/

the frustration that one cannot express discomfort because the person or situation causing it is doing something socially perceived as "good" or "selfless".

can be shortened to laccevenom if used to describe the feeling (i.e. "slowly building laccevenom") or if used in a less abstract context (i.e. "her face betrayed hints of laccevenom")

idk i think this would resonate with a couple people out there because "communicate when you're unhappy :)" advice seems engineered to coincide with a maze of situations that don't let you speak out about things.

Tonight we are drawing. With intense i want to die emotions. But we are drawing.

once again an unfriendly reminder that terfs and other transphobes can fuck off my blog and bleed out behind a burger king :)

i am literally nonbinary and have so many trans friends you are my mortal enemy and i wish you nothing but pain until you change your ways. Its not middle school anymore, grow up.

I call this drawing position Little Victorian Boy Dying of Tuberculosis

"is it possible for a [thing] girl and a [different thing] boy to be in a relationship? 🥺" i'll stop you right there. get a notebook cause i'll only tell you once. men and women are not allowed to date each other

Guy who transforms into a swarm of locusts when shaken vigorously: hey can you turn the music down it's resonating kind of hard and shaking the ground and I don't want to endanger anyone

tumblr glitched and made me follow like 5 people i was clicking the x on in the "check out these blogs" area this is a betrayal to my Harmless Button Clicking Time

i know this is about media but i imagined like. a fucking skeleton buddhist monk. how hard would that go. wholesome 100

Really don't like this trend of people using "wholesome" as a synonym for "bloodless and celibate"

tumblr's algorithm decided to freak out on me yesterday so i had to go on a spree of "this particular post is not for me" and blocking so now it doesnt know what to show me

i have scarred The Algorithm with the tools it gave me and it best be hesitant to go rogue again
