i love this place so much I'm gonna spend the rest of my life here
yall i finally deleted twitter 🙏❤️
im healing
im so happy being on tumblr rather than twitter since its easier for me to see/interact with other trans men and transmascs
on twitter the only stuff i ever see about transmascs are people denying our existence and experiences and, very rarely, artwork
Once again I am reminding folks to stay the hell off Twitter, that shit gives you mental illness
The Truth Been Spoken
Twitter goes to hell first. No chill. No respect. No sanity.
twitter is a hellsite (derogatory) and tumblr is a hellsite (affectionate)
elon musk should kill himself elon musk needs to kill himself elon musk would make society as a whole better if he killed himself now
Anyone know where else to get quality sexy pics now that Reddit is also fucked up.
Not going on twitter. Fuck twitter.
So yes, fuck corporate internet
r/tumblr and r/curated tumblr should *really* shut doen on the 12th as part of the reddit blackout protest.
And not JUST for 48 hours. Until the changes are reverted. Go the distance. Indefinite. Like a strike.
i have a bluesky page now !
not sure if i'll post there much, but i have one now
(hoping that it wont turn out to be as toxic as how twitter was... fingers crossed)
Well been a while since I’ve tried to use this place.
YOU HAVE TO PAY MONEY TO EDIT TWITTER POSTS?!
WHO THE FUCK IS PAYING FOR THIS?! AAAAAAAAAAAA
Artists UNITE!!
So... With all these changes going on, I got a few things to say.
The new "Block" feature. I put quotes on that because with the new changes made, it is essentially useless. As it says, any accounts blocked will still be able to view your content, but won't be able to engage with them, such as leaving a comment or retweeting or anything. BUT if you truly want to protect your posts and limit who can see what, you can lock your account. But that means you won't be able to get more engagement or new followers.
This also means that NSFW artists/content creators who've blocked minors from seeing their content? Yeah, those minors are gonna have full access anyways and there us nothing we can do about it except maybe report them.
Any abusers/stalkers who like to keep tabs on your accounts? They can see, regardless of being blocked.
This has got to be a violation and Google Play and Apple App Store should put X on blast for it.
The second thing!!
If any of you have seen the tweet going around, there has been a recent change to the Terms of Service and will be effective come November 15th.
It'll let Twitter use your posts (images, videos, audio) to train their Grok AI. You can opt out, but come Novwmber 15th, you just automatically get opted back in.
I dunno about y'all, BUT I DO NOT CONSENT TO HAVING MY STUFF USED FOR AI PURPOSES!!
And if you feel the same, I have a suggestion:
I think that we, as artists and content creators, should unite together and nuke our Twitter/X accounts. I know it's a lot, especially those who have really put a lot of work into it, but would you really want to have all that hard work just be fed to an AI?
I say any and all content we have on Twitter should immediately be migrated over to other sites.
Bluesky is always nice and have no complaints so far and since these changes Twitter/X made, they've gain a huuuuuge amount of traffic.
Cora is another place I've been hearing about. I have no opinions about it so far, but did make an account. I've heard they're very anti-AI, so that's good!
Pillowfort could still be a go-to possibly. Hell, maybe even here on Tumblr since it's been getting active again!
We've got options! We can give one last fuck you to Elongated Muskrat to show what we think about his new changes! But that choice is ultimately up to you.
If you guys wanna follow me, my BlueSky account is here, but fair warning, I do post NSFW art on there.
She saw her moment and got glossed up for it
I left tumblr about 6 years ago bc it stressed me out tbh. Now, I decided to come back, made a new account, and it’s so much fun! A lot has changed from what I remember and I’m very confused tho. 🫣
Just asking, (because all three contributed to me hating the site):
ok lets just step out of the bubble for a second,
what is the rate of trans sexual assault compared to cis sexual assualt?
what are the rates of minors (more specifically under 13) medically transitioning?
what is the regret rate that isnt due to pressure from others?
how many trans people kill themselves?
what is the ACTUALL rate of suicide for trans people that have medically transitioned (that isnt based on cis people)?
thats right, transphobes cant answer these, yet they talk about "two thirds of trans women are in prison for sexual assualt" (there was only 245 trans people in prison) and "minors are getting their dicks chopped off!" (minors as in ABOVE 13. and its mostly estrogen, not surgery) and "women want safe spaces!" (public toilets werent even a safe space to begin with. and this assumes all trans people are perverted. and it assumes you can always tell, you cant)
due to block & TOS tomfoolery, lots of artists have started to move from twitter to 🦋 bluesky 🦋
if you want to get started on bsky yourself as either an artist or an art enjoyer, there's a 'starter pack' feature where you can follow a curated list of people; it's a great way to find artists! you can either follow everyone with one click, or selectively go through them and decide who you want to follow.
here's some i've found:
women of the pixel art community by @ilta222 (me)
recommendations 1 & recommendations 2 by @tofupixel
cute/cozy art starter by @byjessicaelena
black artist accts BIG MIDDLE & SMALL by @titea-art
art merch artists by @zandraillustration
TTRPG artists & horror artists by @nheiraashford
