✨Jude🌙|24| this was supposed to be an art blog its not but its getting there. Muppets run my life. Literally. you might also know me as @jerseymuppet 🌈

saw someone on instagram say “you shouldn’t post your art until it’s good” and that comment filled me with rage so i want to say to every beginner artist or artist who feels their art is not improving no matter how long they’ve been at it. i love you and i love your art and everything you post bears part of you and that is so beautiful. block everyone who says otherwise they are not entitled to freely consume what they rag on.

taking the moment to archive my entire blog tonight! trans people i recommend y'all do too. you know. just in case.

I highly recommend this method for backing up your tumblr blog, as written by @/magz!

It takes a little bit of setting up the first time, but the doc is very thorough, to the point that even a Python-illiterate doofus like me could set it up. Once it’s set up, you can export your blog without relying on and waiting for tumblr staff! Plus, you won’t have to redownload your whole blog every time you want to update your archive.

I’ve been using this method weekly to back up my partner and I’s blogs for about a year now, so I highly recommend any trans folks do the same!

We should really not go along with the corporate lingo on these shifts to automation and AI. Always remember this: They don't want to pay people to do the work.

Companies aren't replacing cashiers with self-scan machines for the customer's convenience. They don't want to pay people to do the work.

Companies aren't using AI to produce a better product. The product produced by AI is notably inferior - they just don't want to pay people to do the work.

Corporate America is not hurting for money. It's not that they can't afford employees -- profits are soaring! They just don't want to pay people to do the work.

look. i’m sick and fucking tired of seeing such horrible and inhumane responses to the global strike for palestine happening this week. it’s not just some “tumblr phenomenon”. nobody is forcing you to take off work. nobody is forcing you to take off school. use your brains and figure out that the strike is for justice in palestine. the point is to DO WHAT YOU CAN. even if that just means reblogging posts, telling a friend who might be able to do more, participate in the boycotts, make informative posts yourselves. i know that is all do-able to the majority of you. have a heart. this is not supposed to be comfortable. this is not supposed to be nice. innocent lives in Gaza are being killed by the second and the strike is to keep up the pressure for a ceasefire. FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA. 🇵🇸

i feel so bad for all the popular Palestinian blogs out there... they have to tread very carefully with what they say because you guys are holding them as the representatives of all Palestinian people. one misstep and some of yall immediately jump to defending israel. as i have the liberty to be like three degrees removed from the genocide, i will pull no punches. stop being little pissbabies about the thought of actually inconveniencing yourselves for people literally experiencing genocide. grow the fuck up.

some of you pathetic excuses for people need to learn what actual problems are and what your intrinsic obligation to try alleviate them entails. yes i am being mean. get over it. yes i know you'd rather scream and cry about how mean im being rather than actually do anything meaningful. have you no shame like at all?

in b4 95% of all websites in june 2024 announce that "for security" they will only work with browsers that use manifest v3

The more people who use Firefox the better! It's got versions for the desktop, android, and iphone, all free. In addition to ublock origin there are thousands of addons. You could also consider using one of Mozilla's paid products, such as their VPN, or donating to the Mozilla Foundation, in order to ensure they're able to keep going.

Not to be Old on main but I remember this exact thing happening in the late 90s and early 00s. I remember it very well. Microsoft pushed out all the browser competition with Internet Explorer, at which point both browser and web innovation stagnated for years because why fix something that's broken if everyone is using the broken thing anyway because there are hardly any other options. If you want to know how bad it was, Internet Explorer did not have browser tabs and it certainly did not have any sort of adblock. And everyone just lived with it.

I am watching the exact same thing happen with Chrome in real time today and that's why I always reblog these posts and sometimes am extra annoying and add on to them. I don't want to see it happen again because it sucked. Please use Firefox. Use it on mobile too (it has browser extensions!!! Including ad blockers!!!) And reminder that Edge/Brave/Vivaldi are all built on Chromium and you should not be using those either. Those browsers will show up as Chrome on tracking analytics and it does not help the overall project, which is showing web developers that Chrome is not the only browser people are using.

Your passwords and other useful things transfer to Firefox, btw. Go make the switch. You have nothing to lose.

Most websites that tell you they need Chrome to work are lying, even if they block you from accessing them if you're not using Chrome. They just do not want to support the dev work to optimize for anything else, or may have a special deal with Google.

Fortunately, there are Firefox extensions that just basically tell websites "yeah, I'm definitely Chrome. don't worry about it"

Please note I have not used either of these, because adblockers and script blockers are good enough at disabling those annoying messages.

Literally never seen a blog get deleted as hard as they deleted predstrogen. Every image on every post regardless of content just gone. Swear to God staff invents new moderation tools for the people they hire to target trans women with. No reasons, No TOS violations, just fucking voiding a random trans woman instead of any of the thousands of hateful TERF or Nazi blogs. Tumblr REALLY hates transwomen despite the fact that transwomen carry this fucking site.

actually its worse than being banned for no reason, they made up reasons on the spot when i asked about it. when my account got terminated, they said it was for sexually explicit content. when i corrected them saying i was actually cleared by staff and support for this a month ago, they told me:

and as if "as you know" isnt an insulting enough way to talk to someone when youre being corrected, they threw this in at the end

there was no mention of harrassment, theyre simply making shit up as they go along. even worse that theyve ignored my emails from last year about the harrassment ive faced all of 2023. they can make up a reason to hurt a trans woman, but wont help the trans woman from the same thing shes accused of

not that either is a good thing but there is a small cosmic sort of irony to appreciate in the way that the russian invasion of ukraine and the most recent nakba happened so close together and how they through comparison made it undeniably clear how much the definition of war crime and genocide and atrocity &etc depends on the geopolitical interests of the imperial core

From The Guardian (2 Mar 2022)

It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.

  • Naturally everybody will think it's fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it's real
  • There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable "don't speak ill of the dead" discourse about those celebrations
  • Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that
  • The Republicans (after they're done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They'll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.
  • There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won't, he was a traitor insurrectionist)
  • The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.
  • Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.
  • Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.

LIKE TO CHARGE REGLOG TO CAST

There is a new subreddit called r/PeriodPantry that allows people who need period products to post wishlists. Many people are forced by poverty to chose between menstrual hygiene products and other necessities, and may end up skipping meals or suffering health problems or social isolation as a result of lacking hygiene products. Please feel welcome to post a period product wishlist, fulfill a wishlist, and/or reblog this post to help it reach others.

Hey, this is a really cool mutual aid group, if you need period products or can help someone get period products this is a great little group to check out.
