i know it's a running bit that people treat their tumblr blogs like diaries and overshare and i don't have a problem with that (i overshare myself once in awhile) but i really think people, especially young people who grew up with social media, need to understand that not every thought needs to be a public thought. sometimes you need to work through shit on your own. you don't have a keep a formal diary – you can write stuff in a note and delete it or throw it away, you can keep things in a private conversation with a friend, you can use drafts to type up a thought and not post it, anything that doesn't involve broadcasting your innermost thoughts so anyone with an internet connection can see it.
it's not healthy and it shouldn't be the norm to broadcast Every Thought in public (and as much as you can pretend social media accounts and blogs are private, they are still public places) especially if you're working through a mental illness or trying to unlearn bigotries or something. it's a pretty common OCD thing to feel like you need to "confess" or publicly admit to "sinning" (talk about cultural Christianity...) and you really don't have to do that. if anyone gets weird about needing to know personal info or your "true" private thoughts to prove that you're not a bad person, then that should be a major red flag and they either need to work through some stuff too or are trying to glean information to manipulate you.
I love you so much, Kei, my dear friend. I wish you all the best. Our cult needs you. (Cult of the Lamb)
Tenma from memory.

The caffeine wore off.
I drank two bowls of coffee and I think it fixed all of my problems
Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.
If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.
Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.
Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.
I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.
Do not really know what to say. A year ago we were making posts about how Gaza was being bombed through Christmas- how the oldest Christian community was being bombed- how the birth place of Jesus was being destroyed and his people murdered. A year later, it is going to be Christmas again soon, and the bombings have not stopped. But the news, and the attention seems to have died down considerably. It feels terrible and scary.
I'm making a new account.
(Nothing serious. Honestly, I've done this before because I want to keep my socials organized, and I feel I've messed it up a bit.)
I like my username, but I feel like I should change it somehow? So I'm consulting here just in case it might be helpful or if anyone would be interested in this poll.
Thought about making a separate blog as well titled Niviriuus, after my gaming user. I'd probably want to separate them, but who knows.
I don't know if anyone has talked about this, but lately this has been happening in other fandoms too. There'll be these bot accounts that straight up steals people's posts and adds "expand" "read more" "continue" as a link in the end of the post - DON'T CLICK ON THAT, it's most likely a malware or something of the like.
so if you see a post like this: no profile picture, something that looks reposted (I've seen this happening to artists too) and a link at the end, even if the post has tags, that's a bot. Block and report it.
stay safe, and I hope @staff finds a way to stop these bots soon!
I'm a guy and a young adult [18↑] I request that you ask (and credit) if you want to use my content somehow. Don't repost / Use for AI. Keep in mind that I switch interests frequently. Apologies if I take a while to respond or finish something.
