We’ll drop the end to this tale first: I got me a new plant because series of excuses:

Still gotta clean off the leaves, even.  And I got a new “skull planter”, but I’m getting to that.  I’d been kinda wanting to add a succulent to my random plants for a while but never managed to pick one up, so I wandered through mostly red-ish varieties until accidentally stumbling upon…  “Black Prince”.  Uh, yeah, that one please.

Soooooo I got a couple of extra things on massive fucking clearance from JoAnn’s along with the paint I needed.  One of those things… this “skull planter”.

A pornbot stole my actual RL name for its blog title, because this information was scattered around in my tumblr. It found my first and middle name, which create an extremely rare combination that I don’t believe for a damn minute was randomly generated.

They’re also taking people’s selfies for camgirl ads and the like. Fortunately I don’t have any up. If I had, I have no doubt they’d be scattered all over a porn blog that also had part of my REAL NAME attached to it. Now think about what happens if someone googles your name for employment purposes, and they come up with not just a porn blog full of camgirl ads, but also pictures that are clearly you.

If you can get into your followers list (I can’t–it shows me less than 25% of my follower count and that’s all, no idea how to fix it) then block any pornbots and spambots. More importantly, whether you have had any problems yet or not, every user reading this needs to get your butt into your post history and yank the selfies, along with any other identifying information.

Because in order to stay safe on Tumblr, a social network, you apparently need to never use it like a social network.

@staff Many of your users are minors. Their images are being used to promote pornography and scams due to abuse of your platform. The situation leaves you with an obvious ethical burden to act–not to mention, wide open to some very harsh litigation and even harsher press. I do not think it’s unreasonable to expect prompt improvement.

Article 13 is almost finished – and it will change the internet as we know it

filmbrainbmb:

If anyone wants an update on Article 13, here it is. The short version: it is very bad.

The negotiators have reached agreement on the core of Article 13, which will change the internet as we know it: They want to make internet platforms directly liable for any copyright infringements their users commit.

“Please! Don’t hurt her!”

“It’s too late Ardyn! She’s already turning.”

“I BEG you! There’s still time!”

Based off a headcanon I had. Ardyn’s Chocobo started to turn due to her Proximity to the Scourge (Ardyn). She was eventually captured, but managed to escape, and eventually turned into what we know as the Zu over the course of 2000 years.
