🚨 Do's and Don'ts of asking for help on Tumblr 🚨

First of all, you chose the wrong website. None of us are privileged or wealthy. The most you'll usually get from an average Tumblerian is 10 dollars. Always remember that Tumblr is full of young adults and teenagers who are struggling with their own lives, NOT millionaires with an unlimited supply of money. Avoid pressuring people to donate or making them feel guilty if they can't or don't want to.

Do not overexcessively use emojis. Bots have been doing this since the dawn of time and it's what most people look out for.

Don't spam mentions. @ing hundreds of people in your post is annoying. You won't gain sympathy from anyone this way.

Another Tumblr blog "verifying" you is NOT and will NEVER BE valid. You need to validate yourself by offering evidence to support your claims. This could include photos, documentation, or links to relevant resources. Other Tumblr blogs are NOT qualified enough to verify that you are someone in need of genuine help.

Read people's bios/pinneds before sending an ask. Look out for stuff that says something like "do not send donation requests" or "do not ask for donations". This means that the person you're asking for help from will ignore your request completely and/or block you. This does NOT make them a bad person. Every person has the right to their own money.

Tag your posts appropriately. That way, people who want to find you will and people who don't want to find you won't. Use relevant tags to reach people who are most likely interested in donating to your cause.

While it's natural to express your emotions, avoid using overly dramatic or manipulative tactics to elicit sympathy. This can only make your situation worse and destroy your reputation. Overly dramatic posts can turn away potential donations, so be honest and transparent about your situation.

Don't neglect security. Posting your personal information online is DANGEROUS. I understand you're frustrated, but please don't take drastic measures, such as sharing your exact location, to make a point.

Consider the timing of your donation requests. Posting during peak Tumblr activity hours can increase visibility.

Be prepared to answer questions. People will ask questions in order to understand your situation better or to verify if you're a legitimate cause before donating. Be friendly, respectful, and honest.

Stay safe out there! Although not physically, we're with you in heart! ❤️🖤🤍💚

A tip for donaters:

Keep in mind that scammers will often use emotional manipulation to lure you in. Gaza scam bots are more common than real victims here on Tumblr, so always make sure you're donating to an honest source. I recommend donating to charities instead, if you can.

Thanks! About the symbol, maybe we can all add our own for some extra national pride. I sure as hell would NOT mind a sun on there, tho that very well could be a slippery slope considering where exactly we live

My bad attempt at making flags

So some days ago, I saw this post on reddit.

This user made a flag for queer slavic people :D. That's pretty cool! However, there are some things that I didn't like about the design. First of I didn't like how it was all pastel, I mean it makes sense because this was posted on a subreddit for xenogenders and from what I've seen online a lot of flags for xenogenders use pastel colors. Second of all, I really don't understand why they added pierogi. I mean, pierogi is a slavic dish but only in poland, Ukraine, and Russia (am I wrong? Too lazy to check right) and here in the balkans, it kind of isn't.

So here's my attempt to make a flag that was heavily inspired by the reddit user above! All creative credit goes to u/somethingisbread! This isn't me stealing their design this is just me editing it as a slavic queer.

It's basically the same thing as the flag in the reddit post. The only difference is that I didn't make the colors pastel, and I removed pierogi. I wanted to add a different symbol to represent queer slavic people. I want to add an owl to represent our slavic mythology and paganism and also our slavic brother/sisterhood because in every slavic language, we have the same word for owl (that is sova/сова). Unfortunately, I currently can't find a good owl design that would go well with the flag.

The blue, red, and white represent the pan slavic colors, and the lavender represents queerness.

Omg im so blind 😭😭 this is why i should use my glasses

Years and years ago, I read a book on cryptography that I picked up because it looked interesting--and it was!

But there was a side anecdote in there that stayed with me for more general purposes.

The author was describing a cryptography class that they had taken back in college where the professor was demonstrating the process of "reversibility", which is a principle that most codes depend on. Specifically, it should be easy to encode, and very hard to decode without the key--it is hard to reverse the process.

So he had an example code that he used for his class to demonstrate this, a variation on the Book Code, where the encoded text would be a series of phone numbers.

The key to the code was that phone books are sorted alphabetically, so you could encode the text easily--picking phone numbers from the appropriate alphabetical sections to use ahead of time would be easy. But since phone books were sorted alphabetically, not numerically, it would be nearly impossible to reverse the code without exhaustively searching the phone book for each string of numbers and seeing what name it was tied to.

Nowadays, defeating this would be child's play, given computerized databases, but back in the 80s and 90s, this would have been a good code... at least, until one of the students raised their hand and asked, "Why not just call the phone numbers and ask who lives there?"

The professor apparently was dumbfounded.

He had never considered that question. As a result, his cipher, which seemed to be nearly unbreakable to him, had such an obvious flaw, because he was the sort of person who could never coldcall someone to ask that sort of thing!

In the crypto book, the author went on to use this story as an example of why security systems should not be tested by the designer (because of course the security system is ready for everything they thought of, by definition), but for me, as a writer, it stuck with me for a different reason.

It's worth talking out your story plot with other people just to see if there's a "Why not just call the phone numbers?" obvious plot hole that you've missed, because of your singular perspective as a person. Especially if you're writing the sort of plot where you have people trying to outsmart each other.

Based off that one trend because this is literally her baby!!!

Ok I’ll stop drawing baby Damian because I always end up doing it???
