I would just like to add how the *inmediate* next pannel makes it even funnier
Dick Grayson you clueless idiot I love you
Let Damian be an obnoxious little brother, please and thank you
I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat.

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?
An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:
I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.
Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.
A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)
So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.
i’m actually in TEARS
Now, this isn't something I usually post about from my silly goofy k1nk account (reminder to minors to not follow or scroll this acount).
But I have more followers on here than main, and this is extremely important. Like, scary shit.
This applies to everyone. If you're reading this? It's going to effect you.
I'm sure perhaps some of you have seen around about a this thing going around... KOSA, is one of the ways it's being referred to.
If this shit passes, lemme tell you...
LGBTQ+ adults and minors seeking help and community,
people looking for abortions,
people organizing protests,
anyone using their free speech to voice concerns about injustices,
even FAN ARTISTS...
Even people reading fan fiction...
And for the purposes of where I'm posting from... people sharing and enjoying their k1nks, wanting to post things with safety and privacy... smut artists and writers, people even LOOKING for smut...
It's all gone. No privacy.
Here is a website where you can sign a letter just by filling out a form, (it takes less than 30 seconds) and where you can call reps.
I HIGHLY suggest leaving calls if you're able, and if you have phone shyness, do this after 6pm, since it will leave messages instead.
I'm shy, but I did it!
Here's another letter to sign, takes less than 20 seconds.
Here is a form you can fill out sharing how the social media has POSITIVELY effected you.
Share all of this with as many people as you can. Our safety, freedom, joy, and protection online is at risk more than ever.
(Here is the thread where I found all of this information.)
Let’s talk about virtue signalling when talking about American Indians and how it’s doing more harm than good. I saw a take that writing about Kaia, an indigenous character in Supernatural, in fanfiction is a cancel-able offense because the way she’s depicted in the show is problematic. I’ve heard similar things about the skinwalkers in Teen Wolf - I’ve also heard that you shouldn’t even type the word “skinwalkers” because it’s offensive, which… I’m not gonna go into all the details, but that’s a gross misunderstanding of the belief around the word, and also the actual word the belief is about - you won’t believe this - isn’t an English word.
Anyway.
The topic of indigenous oppression in the US is complicated, but one of the fundamental issues, which actual indigenous activists (not just keyboard warriors) constantly talk about, is the way indigenous people are ignored and erased from the story. It’s called “The Terminal Narrative.” Text books talk about indigenous people like they’re a relic of the past, like they’re all dead and gone. (Do you know how weird it is for Indian children on reservations to read a US history book that implies they don’t exist?) Human rights abuses and social issues on reservations are left out of the conversation or skimmed over as if they’re too obscure to be fully understood, or like they impact so few people, it doesn’t really matter.
Policing wording is not activism. Sharing call-out posts isn’t activism. You are not doing anything to help anyone. You’re not funding, volunteering, calling politicians, or doing any actual work to better the lives of indigenous Americans. (Before anyone calls hypocrite, I do work with an indigenous rights group IRL.) When someone scolds another person online over using a word that isn’t PC, 99% of the time it’s clear they don’t actually care - they derive a sense of moral superiority from knowing the “correct” way to speak. And they don’t care about the chilling effect it has on speech overall. This naturally leads to one of the most toxic elements of liberal conversations about race: that you must have the conversation perfectly or not at all. And that’s the impact it has. People just stop talking about it for fear of being wrong.
Can you see how, in a society where indigenous oppression is actively facilitated by silence and erasure, making people afraid to speak about Indians is one of the worst things you could possibly do?
It’s become standard fare for Indian Studies books to start with a disclaimer explaining that “Indian” actually isn’t an offensive word and is the word that most indigenous people use for themselves. The disclaimer isn’t because it’s new or radical information. It’s because white Americans are so goddamn weird about virtual signaling about ~The Native Americans~ that they would condemn a much-needed book of scholarship on native issues just for using a word that they thought was offensive.
Native people aren’t a monolith. You’ll find Indians that insist you need to spell it NDN or that XYZ is offensive. Production companies can pay a native person to come tell them they’re allowed to write about something most people from their tribe would find offensive. Fact of the matter is, a lot of Indians are not experts on like… heritage culture. If they grew up on a rez, they can tell you about rez culture, but they’re not all Indian Studies scholars, the same way not all Irish people are experts on Celtic paganism. Not all Indians are experts on indigenous politics, the same way not all Americans are experts on American politics. And it goes without saying that a GODAWFUL amount of the people lecturing on acceptable ways to interact with indigenous characters are not only uninformed about indigenous issues (I saw one post where someone clearly linked the first thing that came up when they googled “Native American drug addiction”) but are also not indigenous themselves.
And, yes, the vast majority of depictions of Indians in American media are problematic in one way or another, but saying that the solution is to erase indigenous characters from fandom entirely (because they’re all problematic) is the absolute WORST conclusion to reach. Fix the characters if you care that much! Give the Teen Wolf skinwalkers names! And an iPad! Let Kaia be the master of her own destiny! Let her bitch Dean out for pointing that gun in her face! Let her live happily ever after with her girlfriend! What the hell is fandom for if not fixing the issues we see in canon? Why are we allowed to reclaim and rewrite problematic queer characters but not problematic native characters? Who is that serving? Because it sure as hell isn’t serving Indians.
Anyone that tells you it’s better to ignore Indians than say the wrong thing about them is, knowingly or not, actively promoting a terminal narrative and the continuation of indigenous genocide.
Tumblr gifted me a blaze, and I had no idea what to do with it for the longest time. But then it hit me... I could just repost every sapphic art I did in 2023. So enjoy !

Hey thank you for taking the time to scroll to the end ! It means a lot to me <3
2,121,566 people are not Ashley and counting!
We’ll find you Ashley.
Comfort movie on god. Nothing makes me cry harder than a robot slowly learning and recognizing human emotion. Gets me every time.
Thank you both a lot!
@vaspider I hope your spouse's dog gets better or at least goes out happy and painless, I'm really sorry that's happening, dogs should live forever.
And of course you aren't and weren't obligated to answer to my ask, I feel tremendously happy that you even answered.
Thank you again.
And @cheerfulomelette, I hadn't seen it, thanks a lot as well!!
I hope you both gave a great day!
Hi!
I just recently read your posts on the AIDS crisis, it's a part of history that is devastating to queer lifes but that isn't properly talked about almost anywhere.
I am young and not from the US so I am even more uninformed than I should be, with this I would like to request any documentaries/books/articles you'd like to recommend to someone who wants to properly know about the topic.
I understand if it's too much trouble or you can't, thank you anyway and I hope you have a great day!
It's not too much trouble, I'm just like -- my spouse's dog is dying, and I'm really tired. I recommend reaching out to @lgbtqreads if they don't already have a curated reading list!

Pick an option at random :)
I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD
I saw your latest fanart and it was gorgeous! Your art style is so pretty, I'm obssessed. And the little ficlet to accompany it? It felt like an extra treat. 2 in 1.
You also said to request anything, so can I ask for a Scully and Mulder AU? They fit so well.
First of all, thank you SO MUCH????? Thanks for liking what I do!
Introductions done, I’m sorry I didn’t answer earlier, uni’s been kicking my ass LOL.
I’m no expert in the X files but this is a scene I find really funny, I hope you enjoy it!!
I love how my wrapped basically means that I was heavily depressed half of the year, manic the other half, and in the mood for woodland fae sex during all of it, there's no other interpretation that will make me happy.
Happy self awareness wrapped day !
Riza has been scared many times in her life, she's not a stranger to fear, but she has never felt the same kind of bone-chilling panic as when she heard shots being fired in what was supposed to be a patrolling routinary mission and the sound of a body hitting the ground.
On a lighter note, Roy, straight out of surgery and high on sedatives is the type of man to flirt with Riza (already his girlfriend ) and ask her to date him.
I am a sucker for hospital hurt/comfort, I do not have any excuse.
My fan content besides, it's the first time I've ever gotten his much attention on tumblr so this next part is for the people who might want to stay over here.
Also, feel free to ask anything or request anything, be it fan art, fanfic or whatever you want !!
THE ABSOLUTE CURSE OF MY EXISTENCE.
I harbor a different type of hate in my body for this, thank you for reminding me op
Bruh i was just like a few seconds away from falling asleep when i remembered i didnt take my makeup off </333
