This is a good illustration of Tumblr’s brand of social justice

and he still manged to include the q slur lmao

You are literally this person

To people in the notes going “but he should still paint over qu**r because it’s a slur”: I dare you to walk into your nearest LGBTQ Center and demand that any and all mention of “queer” be removed from its displays, literature, and programs. Go ahead and tell me what they say to you. I’ll wait.

I believe I will just queerly reblog this without further queer comment.

Agreed. I shall queerly join you.

Apple booted tumblr from the App Store and now tumblr is doing its best Thanos interpretation. May you and those dear to you survive.

copperbadge:

Do we know how many people have actually had this happen to them? I’ve seen one firsthand account, and I’m sure there are more, but is this really a Thanos-snap situation? Granted I only follow 100 blogs but I haven’t had this happen to anyone I know, or presumably anyone they know. Of course, it’s still horrible for the people it has happened to or is happening to, but I think also the deletions are perhaps drawing attention away from several other aspects of this situation.

I thought this was funny because Tumblr got grounded by Dad when he caught him with all the porn. I couldn’t stop laughing at the mental image of Tumblr with a backwards cap and a popped collar walking into his bedroom to find Steve Jobs sitting on his bed with his box of Playboys. “Son, we need to talk.” 

But here’s the thing: it’s not the porn bots. It’s child porn. And not what angry young tumblrs call child porn. Actual facts explicit photographic sexual images of exploited young children. Which isn’t funny at all. And while I genuinely am sorry for people who got their tumblrs deleted on accident, like….it appears nothing is permanent, and there’s a point at which I’m willing to accept the collateral damage that I might get temporarily deleted in return for no child porn on my social media network. 

I think, whether it’s child porn or unwanted adult images, this is a net positive. We’ve been asking Tumblr for years to address the issues with its attitude towards porn bots, and now that Apple has taken the drastic measure of kicking a fucking massive social media network off its app store, Tumblr might realize oh, yes, this really is a problem overall

Though I am still going to laugh a little bit at the fact that Tumblr’s response to “this really is a problem” is to program something that makes an EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM FOR ITS USERS. It’s…just so very Tumblr.

According to Pillowfort’s site it is indeed free to demo users, except they are only able to VIEW the site and content created by beta users. They can’t post anything at all. Beta users can use the site fully and post as much as they want, but unless they backed the kickstarter before launch they have to pay a $5 PayPal fee for a key (you can buy multiple at once and give some out) to unlock the site. So it is free to access but pay to use and I swe no window for when they will leave closed beta

iopele:

I didn’t pay anything to get my account? and I wasn’t part of the kickstarter either and I just made a test post on there that seemed to go fine so I don’t know what to tell you… I did have to sign up to get an invitation to make my account a few months ago, but that was it. anyone else who knows more about the inner workings of @pillowfort-io have anything helpful to add?

I think you need to either donate or get an invitation code. Unclear on how to get an invitation code. They’re definitely trying to get people joining at a relatively slow pace while still in beta stage, which seems sensible to me.

DO NOT EAT GRAPEFRUIT IF YOU TAKE OPIOIDS.

I recently learned that compounds in grapefruit juice called furanocouramins increase the blood concentration of both oxycodone and oxymorphone, and in half the time than without grapefruit juice.

Know what that means? The grapefruit juice increases the potency of your normal dose.

THIS IS LIFE-THREATENING.

Grapefruit already interacts with many medications, but this is dangerous. You could overdose. You could die.

Save a Spoonie.

Please pass this on. 💙

Also: activated charcoal. It absorbs meds. Which means, you take your normal meds (including birth control!) and then eat that trendy charcoal-dyed food, bam. You’ve just drastically reduced your dosage of meds. Hope that wasn’t something you needed to be taking.

I’ve been wanting to do a quick mockup of dragon anatomy for a long time. I finally had the opportunity to put this together. I wanted to play with some ideas for how a hexapod could reasonably function. Unlike a lot of other artists I placed the wing arms in front of the walking arms. I thought this would allow for better range of motion for the wings, might be a good thing to have for flight haha. I played primarily with archosaur anatomy forms here. Obviously the wing bones are inspired by birds, however they have cartilaginous struts that extend from the metacarpals to create a more classical dragon webbed wing. The shoulder girdle/keel is fused with the scapulocoracoid of the second arm set, so the entire chest is very rigid. As such the secondary arms would have less rand of motion and this guy would run on his hind legs using his wings for balance in order to move faster along the ground and for takeoff. Also notice how much the keratin extends the claws and horns.

Hope you guys dig it and please let me know if you have any questions. 

Holy shit @gallusrostromegalus and @drferox I need you both to look at this because this artist is amazing and their stuff is right up your allys

They are a gorgeous set. I also approve of placing the wing joints cranial to the front legs.

This lil fella is as friendly as a puppy. It’s actually seeking attention. Only attempted hand feeding em twice. Also the eldest of the 4 and likely half English budgie. These are only the second batch of babies that I’ve ever had and the first was only one chick who got a lot more attention and was never this friendly. Very excited to have at least one bird that doesn’t require so much effort to win over!

LOOK AT THIS PRECIOUS, SMOL CHILD TRYING TO WILL ITSELF THROUGH AN INVISIBLE FORCE FIELD TO SAY HELLO OOOH MY HEART 

bumblebeebats:

Yesterday at work these two 12yo boys came through my line and i’m instantly like. oh Boy. Because solo children at a grocery store are always forces of chaos, good or bad

But thankfully these ones were totally pleasant, and when i asked if they wanted a receipt one of them pulled out a random fuckin receipt from his bag and asked “Do YOU???” and y’all, i lost my shit… What a power move. When will i ever be this funny
