I wish I could get a good exercise schedule so I wouldn't be such a marshmallow but exercise is so mind-numbingly boring. It's the same movements over and over and over again. Anyone autistic or ADHD got tips for making exercise actually fun?
is it conspiracy brained to think that tumblr's icon being period tracker core for longer than any other design + trans selfies being flagged and kept flagged through appeals + the harry potter staff blog incident point towards terfs having influence on tumblr internally. like staff has always been technically less than competent but if it's also infected with ideology as violent as terfs... idk....
Ok see, I’m no longer staff so I’ve no reason to defend the company: while I was there, not only I haven’t seen anyone talking about any issue in any way that could make me think they were TERFs, but the opposite. On top of that, there is a very significant percentage of people in staff that is trans or gender-queer. Like, a percentage significantly higher than any other company I’ve worked for. As far as I know, over my three years at Tumblr, there has been zero institutional transphobia there.
Now, what I think it happens is that TERFs weaponize the established systems and procedures. If you report EVERY POST made by a trans person, that will end with a significantly higher ratio of bans on the trans community just by pure statistics. And the fact that Tumblr’s ToS team is tiny and continually overloaded means that things like appeals not always work as they should, nor that they have the capacity to approach this abuse by evil actors.
So what this paint company does is take iron pollution from abandoned mines that are polluting soils and rivers and makes iron based red pigment paints out of it.
Basically they realized hey no one's cleaning this shit up, it's polluting the streams, killing all the fish, making the water undrinkable and there's a huge market for it so why not make money by cleaning it the fuck up?
They remove this stuff by the industrial bucket load from the rivers. The idea is if it's in a painting, if it's in your home, it's not poisoning wildlife.
I have updated my GFM with info on my situation and the steps I am taking to move. Initially, I quoted $4k to move, but I found a cheaper way to rent a truck :)
lowered it again LOL. please ;_; two jobs is killing me and i really cant handle it for much longer. also my lease is up on Oct. 31st so its kind of semi urgent.
“if no art makes you feel anything, make your own art and feel something” is too raw of a line to have come from a jenna marbles video of her painting a rainbow/polka dot seahorse saying “it’s seahorse time” on a denim jacket
