I Have Cats And Soup But I Can Never Decide On What To Name Them So I Just Remember Them By Their Clothes.

If you’re learning Japanese and have a mailing address in the USA or Canada you can request a free online library card from the Japan Foundation and access their catalog via Libby. For the USA this process is completely online, unsure for Canada

They don’t have a large selection of books in Japanese at the moment, their fiction section is largely translated materials, but they do have a lot of Japanese textbooks and JLPT study books available.

Cope how you need to

Me watching the drama between recasters and anti-recasters even though I know nothing about dolls or what a recast is.

jennifer’s body 🩸💖

Hope yall weren't planning on buying Bratz dolls as a Christmas present this year cuz the CEO is a die-hard Israel supporter and against a ceasefire.

Please note that LOL Surpise and Rainbow High dolls aren't safe either. They're made by the same company.

Today is a good day because I found my Venus McFlytrap doll and she’s wearing my Apple White Legacy day dress

Born to read my own story, forced to write it first.

Please be aware that the "opt-out" choice is just a way to try to appease people. But Tumblr has not been transparent about when has data been sold and shared with AI companies, and there are sources that confirm that data has already been shared before the toggle was even provided to users.

Also, it seems to include data they should not have been able to give under any circumstance, including that of deactivated blogs, private messages and conversations, stuff from private blogs, and so on.

Do not believe that "AI companies will honor the "opt-out request retroactively". Once they've got their hands on your data (and they have), they won't be "honoring" an opt-out option retroactively. There is no way to confirm or deny what data do they have: The fact they are completely opaque on what do they currently "own" and have, means that they can do whatever they want with it. How can you prove they have your data if they don't give everyone free access to see what they've stolen already?

So, yeah, opt out of data sharing, but be aware that this isn't stopping anyone from taking your data. They already have been taking it, before you were given that option. Go and go to Tumblr's Suppport and leave your Feedback on this (politely, but firmly- not everyone in the company is responsible for this.)

Finally: Opt out is not good under any circumstance. Deactivated people can't opt out. People who have lost their passwords can't opt out. People who can't access internet or computers can't opt out. People who had their content reposted can't opt out. Dead people can't opt out. When DeviantArt released their AI image generator, saying that it wasn't trained on people who didn't consent to it, it was proven it could easily replicate the styles of people who had passed away, as seen here. So, yeah. AI companies cannot be trusted to have any sort of respect for people's data and content, because this entire thing is just a data laundering scheme.

Please do reblog for awareness.

I started writing my first fanfic!

PSA, there's a really nasty Discord scam going around rn. If one of your friends DMs you, starting off with a simple "hello" "how are you", may even joke around a little, and then starts asking you to look at a game/project they're working on, don't click the link, don't download anything. If you can reach that friend through non-Discord means, reach out and let them know they got hacked.

One of my friends said the link takes them to a very convincing video game page that has in-game screenshots and stuff, and then gives you an option to download a playtest zip file or something. That download exploits a weakness Discord apparently has for password protected zip files and steals your Discord log-in and changes your account info to the scammer's account info. Two of my friends lost their accounts. Be careful.
