hi, i am redtailcatfish, aka fishainsley, ainsley, or cicada.

i’m autistic, queer, an adult, and in college. any pronouns.

i like bugs, marine biology, paleontology, archeology, witchcraft, nature, and other stuff, all of which and more ends up on this blog.

i mostly just spam reblog stuff but i may occasionally post the occasional original photo, art, or thought.

i think trans people and nonbinary people are cool.

ive posted art here before but i just made an artblog and its at @fishainsley which is also my username for other things

i have a website at fishainsley.art

I do not trigger tag bugs or spiders.

common trigger tags are:

* #animal death - anything to do with dead or dying animals

* #reblog bait - posts that contain rhetoric such as “you must reblog this if you’re x” or “you’re bad if you don’t reblog this”

* #unreality - fake news, goncharov type stuff, and the like. things that are not reality.

* I do not add “cw”, “tw” or similar to my content warning tags. If I’m warning for puppies, I’ll tag with “puppies” or “puppy” and that’s it.

YOU CAN SEE THE ICONS OF ANONS SOMETIMES.

The way I was able to recognize several anons in one of my inboxes bc of this error. Oh my god. Guys. This isn’t supposed to happen.

Weighing in to say:

YES, I SEE THIS ON MOBILE. HOWEVER I DO **NOT** THINK IT'S SHOWING THE ANON'S REAL IDENTITY.

The profile pictures I see next to anon asks are profile pictures that belong to other, non-anon asks in my ask box also.

Some info

  • there are 14 asks in my inbox from the last ~5 days
  • 9 anons, 5 logged in users
  • ALL 14 show pfps, including the 9 anons
  • ALL THE SHOWN PROFILE PICTURES BELONG TO THE 5 LOGGED IN USERS

I think the bug is the inbox INCORRECTLY attributing anons to neighboring, logged-in asks.

Which is still a bad bug! Considering it makes it look like a long-time follower of mine sent me a spam ask.

And is worse if, say, one of these was anon hate.

But it's NOT the anon's real identity. It's a neighboring ask asker's identity

So if you have anon hate in your inbox that looks like it's attributed to your dear friend, who sends you lovely asks all the time, it was Not them.

A screenshot of anon ask. The bug is showing a small icon which is a black and white sketch of a person in star-shaped sunglasses.   the anon ask reads "In case you want more test data: hi! I’m thepatchycat with a cat icon on a blue background! If tumblr is showing any other icon it’s incorrect!  Thanks for the PSA, I can see how that bug could get real bad real fast."ALT

CONFIRMED THE BUG IS INCORRECT ATTRIBUTION.

Thanks @thepatchycat for being a test subject. As you can see the icon being attributed to this ask is NOT the patchy cat

The pictured icon belongs to @watchingforcomets who sent me a nice ask about nail polish yesterday which I have not yet answered!
