i dont really… WANT… to leave tumblr. ive been here since 2011
no other platform has the right format for me to just randomly barf actual thoughts, joaks, and genuine creative content all in the same breath. i dont know how to compartmentalize
every other platform you gotta be a real person. Here you are you’re icon and username and whatever your hyperfixation is at the current moment
on tumblr you can make a post that just says “minecraft” and get 50k notes, where on twitter you have to steal tweets and instagram you have to be hot. tumblr is more like a bunch of kids let loose in walmart where there are no rules and the only god is a bald swedish man
A ton of posts are now being flagged as sensitive content thanks to Tumblr’s new idea to make it adult content free. However, you can request a review so they can fix it. I know it’s tiring, and I know it’s not our fault that Tumblr can’t do a simple thing right, but I refuse to have any of my SFW creations being taken down just because Tumblr doesn’t know how to write an algorithm.
So here’s what you can do, even if you aren’t the OP.
Any post that has been flagged will show something like the image below at the top of the post, even if it’s a reblog.
If you’re the OP, a REVIEW link will show up at the right margin of the red bar where it says “Your post was flagged”. Click on it, and then click REQUEST REVIEW, like the image below.
After you’ll get a message in an orange bar saying “Your post is in content appeal”, meaning they’re evaluating whether their algorithm screwed up or not. If it was wrongfully marked as sensitive (and it most likely was), you’ll get an email being alerted to that your post is now visible to everyone again.
Alternatively, if you aren’t the OP, but your reblogs are flagged as well, (which in this case, you’ll see something like the image below in your flagged reblog), you can message the OP about it so they can request a review.
Please, don’t ignore this! It’s bad enough that adult content is being deleted because Tumblr can’t deal with p*rn bots, but having content that has absolutely nothing to with adult content being deleted as well can be fixed, even if we’re the ones who have to ask for said fix.
I am reblogging this cause I have no idea if any of my content has been flagged, so if it has, just shoot me a message so I can go check it and put it in review!
In response to the NSFW ban being enacted by Tumblr Staff, on December 17th 2018 I propose that we all log off of our Tumblr accounts for 24 hours.
The lack of respect and communication between staff and users is stark. Users have been begging staff to delete the porn bot outbreak, which has plagued the website for well over a year. The porn bots oftentimes send people asks and messages, trying to get them to go to a website full of viruses. They also spam advertisements on others posts.
Users have also begged that Tumblr ban neo-nazis, child porn, and pedophiles, all which run rampant on the site. The site/app got so bad that it was taken off the app store.
However, instead of answering the users, Tumblr has instead taken the liberty to ban all NSFW content, regardless of age. But users have already run into issues of their SFW content being marked as sensitive and being flagged as NSFW, not allowing them to share their work.
Not only does this discriminate again content creators, but it also discriminates against sex workers. Disgustingly, the ban will be enacted on December 17 which is also International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.
This ban is disgusting, and while I (and plenty of others) welcome porn bots and child porn being banned, the Tumblr filtration system is broken. It tags artistic work’s nipples as NSFW (when it is art), it tags SFW art as NSFW (when it is not), and does not stop the porn bots, neo-nazis and dozens of other issues.
This ban is discriminatory. This ban is ineffective. This ban is unacceptable.
To protest, log off of your Tumblr account for the entirety of December 17th. Log off at 12 am EST or 9PM PST and stay off for 24 hours. Don’t post. Don’t log on. Don’t even visit the website. Don’t give them that sweet ad revenue.
Tumblr’s stock has already taken a hard hit. Let’s make it tank. Maybe then they will listen to the users.
Turbo from Ralph is good and unexpected villian too and with good subtle hints as well.
Thisthisthisthisthis
You can’t just make a character start being evil with no explanation or foreshadowing or any character hints whatsoever. It makes the viewer feel cheated.
King Candy was already a good villain to begin with, coming off more as a well-intentioned extremist. He gave Ralph what he wanted up front with no strings attached, and then convinced him that doing something bad was indeed for the greater good, then came the twist that he was lying the whole time.
Revealing the fact that he has a secret identity was the icing on the cake.
23-YEAR-OLD AUTISTIC, IN NEED OF HELP ESCAPING EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE HOUSEHOLD.
I need to escape an emotionally abusive home, but lack the funds and resources to be able to “make it” on my own feet.
I am 23, struggling with anxiety disorder, autism, and severe folic acid deficiency. As of Nov. 21st 2018, I have been unmedicated for these matters, and the negative effects are quickly taking a toll on my overall functionality.
My life has gone severely downhill since August 2017, resulting in improper medication, academic failure/dropout (all without completing my Bachelor’s degree that I’ve been working on for a cumulative 6 years. It’s a lot of student debt, but I can’t even begin to worry about that now).
In June 2018, I retreated to my father’s and lived there for 5 months, in which my mental health declined even further; partly due to his negligence, lack of proper support, and passive-aggressive / nonconfrontational personality. During this time, I was unable to get a job, despite numerous applications, phone-calls, and face-to-face resumé deliveries. Because of this, I was punished by being cut off from what little and limited social interaction I had(95% internet friends), which didn’t help my situation at all. I was also shamed for causing my father’s food / basic living expenses to rise (as expected when the household population goes from 1 to 2).
In November 2018, I overcame my fear and shame of facing my mother for the sake of finding better job opportunities (my father was also sick of putting up with me, which was another blow to my already fragile emotional health). As of Nov. 19th, I hold a barista job (second cashier job at a different location to come within a week) for the sake of paying off car-related and insurance-related debts to my mother. Because of this, 90% of my paychecks are to go to her, no questions asked. I am also not allowed to save any money for myself for any reason, nor move out, until all of these debts are paid, which is an approximate +$1000, potentially more.
Money issues aside, I’m also struggling with a great deal of emotional abuse from my mother. For starters, she has told me the following things:
・I am a debt / her children are her debt
・I am a liability
・I am fucked up in the head
・She shouldn’t be arguing with crazy
・I have an unnecessary victim mentality
・By frequently apologizing, I’m playing nasty mind-games with her, just as my father did to her 15+ years ago before they divorced
・I have no rights under her roof
・I am not allowed to do anything without her permission
・I have no free time, nor am I allowed to have any
・My (internet) friends aren’t real, and they will never help me
・"Do you know what a pimp is?“
・”…they don’t like my rules, but at least they don’t question me or complain about it"
・"SUCK IT UP"
・I cannot problem-solve, and technology hinders me from being able to do so
・-continuously interrupts me without letting me finish, doesn’t even address the exact thing I was going to say-
・if I dare mention depression in the workplace, that’s equivalent to quitting the job.
・…and many other similar things of the sort.
Needless to say, this sort of toxic enviroment will be detrimental to my overall health, which will then affect my ability to work, make income, etc. This is why I need funds to make a proper escape.
My goal(s) are as follows:
・Car-related debts: +$1000
・Gas: +$60 / month (18.5 gal. × $2.50 per gal. … how many weeks a full tank will last can vary)
・Food: ±$10 / day
・Meds: ±$60 / month (folic acid meds are VERY expensive)
・Travel costs: *(pending on escape method, likely by car & camping in it for months until I find a sustainable place)*
・Future Housing: ±$750 / month (±$1100 if mortgage)
Any and all help is incredibly appreciated! If you’re unable to donate to a good cause, please RT/share to help spread the word! 💙
ADHD is cool because my inability to choose between two cereals made me almost cry in a grocery store
alright so this is a pretty simple statement, as in there’s not a lot said, it’s not three words, so I’m gonna try and make my reply as short as possible.
So, I have ADHD, and a part of ADHD is emotional dysregulation. It’s really difficult for me to regulate my emotions/my emotional reactions, in other words.
When I can’t choose between two types of cereals, it stresses me out and, unlike neurotypical people, I am unable to stop that stress from snowballing into anxiety, panic, and a general sense of dread. It’s a weird response, for sure, but it’s my response, and it’s how my ADHD manifests.
It’s not the poster-child of ADHD, it’s not a situation people will point to and say, “That is typical ADHD behavior,” but, y’know, that’s okay. It’s my ADHD behavior, and I define it that way because I know my ADHD and I know how it affects me.
Indecisiveness is a common problem for people with ADHD. Obviously each ADHDer has their own unique experience of the disorder, but this struggle isn’t unrelated to the disorder and clearly it resonates with a lot of us. And that makes perfect sense. Let’s think about it.
Impulsiveness: You might think this symptom would make it easy to make an instant decision but when you are confronted with a ton of options it actually it can be much more like realizing you want a bunch of different things and now it’s harder to pick just one. Wow that option looks exciting I really like the sound of that… But this is an old favorite of mine and I’ll miss it if I go with something else… And I’ve always wanted to try that thing will I regret it if I don’t?… I want so many things but I must choose only one and now I’m confused
Hyperfixation: ADHD is largely due to an inability to regulate focus. Which means we can also get really focused on something for a prolonged period of time. Such as the pros and cons of several options. The chicken is good but I had chicken for lunch, pasta could be good if they hold the capers, I haven’t had chili in a long time but I don’t know whether it would be really spicy here or not. On and on and on. Well past when others are done we still are thinking through every little thing.
Difficulty Planning: Without time blindness and with the ability to more readily form a long term plan someone who does not have ADHD may feel confident in deciding one thing in relation to others, reasoning that this falls in line with their long-term goals or for smaller day-to-day choices deciding that next week they’ll get the other option. ADHDers often live more in the moment, but we are aware of the future. It’s What do I want most now?…I want to go with what makes me happy, but what about the most practical option? What is the truly best option for me and how do I even tell? Thinking this through doesn’t come as naturally to me.
Low Self-Esteem & Self-Doubt: ADHDers almost universally have issues with their self-image from years of being judged for being different than everybody else. Naturally we begin to doubt ourselves and thus our choices. And many of us cope by trying to pretend we don’t care or by trying way to hard to please someone else, or both. This leads us to trouble choosing too. I’m so worried I’ll make the wrong choice and ruin everything like I always seem to do. I don’t trust myself so how can I make a decision?...What makes the most sense in order to fit in with the culture? I have trouble figuring this out sometimes. Will I look silly if I do what I love?… I want to make everyone else happy, everyone has their own preferences, but deep down I want something totally different. I’ve got to make sure everyone is pleased with me I hate being a disappointment. I’ve got to make the absolute best choices for everyone on everything. I’m stuck because it’s nearly impossible. And what about that thing I like just this once, but no. Or maybe. Well I guess everyone likes this generic thing. Wait no, Dave said he thought it was gross. Ahh! This choice reflects on me and I must make sure it is excellent.
All of that is plenty stressful without having to deal with emotional dysregulation and low stress tolerance. But ADHDers frequently deal with those symptoms as well.
Emotional Dysregulation & Low Stress Tolerance: The pressure of a situation where you know a choice must be made can be a lot. And after a long day, or in a stressful environment like a bright store or crowded restaurant, or in front of people that you like and want to think highly of you, or for a whole host of other reasons you can end up feeling all !!!!
