Still just in shock and awe that in two months Kevin (the volunteer who manages our bulk business eSim account) was able to rack up a 40,000$+ debt for eSim management, but then I remember that I myself am currently having to spend an average of $150 of my own money a day to keep my own eSims topped up.
Anyways, help us with a donation please I've been dipping into my paltry savings like hot damn

A Cakeling (depicted on the left) is a being made of food, magic, and a wish! Making a cakeling is very much like cooking/baking. They're very small creatures, about the size of a small child when fully grown, and very curious! They all live in Tartlet Town, where they are safe under the watchful gaze of Hershel the Wizard. (depicted right) What's outside of Tartlet Town's walls? Not much. There are monsters galore and ruins of massive cities, so it's very dangerous! But these sweet creatures are up to the task of exploring!!!

I don't really post much on here, but as December starts I can't help but think about how most tumblr users are white usamericans, mostly Christian or culturally Christian, and that we know from demographic poll after demographic poll that has floated on here. And how this country already now has Seasonal Christmas drinks, Christmas light shows, music stations just playing Christmas music, cheap made for TV Christmas movies, Christmas decorative napkins, Christmas special editon collector dolls, etc etc. And Christmas in Bethlehem was canceled last year. For genocide that is still on going.

I don't have much coherent thoughts beyond it makes me sick.
And here is a link below to raise money for a Palestinian baby in desperate need of heart treatment. They're $295 away from reaching their goal
Hello! On behalf of the project creator who is dealing with financial trouble we are posting her commission info and ko-fi link. For 5 dollars a month you can help her pay off her student loans, afford rent, and keep creating in a safe environment!~ without her this project wouldn’t be possible nor could it move forward without her.
Here’s some of the work she created for this project!
I have no idea how to begin this post. I’m shocked no one else on Tumblr has made it before me, since this news came out February.
But…
Starting “later this year” (no explicit date), Google will begin using AI to detect “minors lying about their age” (accounts that claim to be 18+ but aren’t.)
This is based on what you search, and the videos you watch on YouTube.
If you are an adult who watches things aimed at teenagers on YouTube- your account will be incorrectly flagged as “lying” and you will be, immediately and automatically, locked down. Restricted Mode on YouTube with no way to deactivate it, SafeSearch always on full force, privileges suspended.
It gets worse. If Google thinks you are under 13- the minimum age to have an account- it will, after a brief delay, DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT.
If you are a fan of a children’s show- say Thomas the Tank Engine, Super Wings, or Handy Manny- or even one aimed at “older” kids like Big City Greens- YOU ARE IN DANGER.
So… what can you do?
As far as anyone knows, the tracking is account-based, so if you browse or watch children’s content while signed out you should be safe.
WRITE TO GOOGLE. Tell them how displeased you are. Do not use “nice” words- they do not deserve them.
Search for alternatives to Google Chrome, Google Search, and every function an account can provide. Type these queries into the search engine a few more times than usual, to give them a little heart attack. They deserve it.
SPREAD THIS NEWS. Not just on Tumblr- spread it on every platform you have. And real life is a platform, too.
If you speak more languages than just English, translate this warning- this is coming to the US first, but that doesn’t mean it won’t eventually spread to the rest of the world.
And finally, WARN YOUR FRIENDS WHO MIGHT BE VULNERABLE TO THIS. To that extent, I’ll be tagging:
