WHO BOUGHT THE CAKE

I’m not mad I just want to know who you are so we can start hashing out the details of C A K E   A D V E N T U R E.

ok they got back to me, lovely people-
THEY’RE  HALF AN HOUR FROM ME

THE OTHER PERSON WHO WAS GOING TO DO THIS WAS IN NEW ZEALAND.

perhaps for februaruy i will open a “Cake, international” to cover airfaire

Just so y’all understand- I put the cake teir in as a joke. I honestly didn’t expect someone to go for it.

However, since there seems to be a widespread desire for me to come to people’s houses and make them cake, I will be offering this teir again.

I also, uh, forgot to tell my husband I’d made this tier so I need to talk with him before I offer it again, for house management purposes.

But there will be more cake in the future!

hi everyone, accidentally made something terrible again, sorry

as it turns out when you find as many user created skeleton models as possible on the steam workshop and rig them all up at the same time it does not result in an accurate and complete human skeleton

the walk cycle was bad enough but then you made me look at the bones hunched over and ready to skitter away at a moments notice and I’m cursed now

This is just horrifying…

I was in line at Aldi and this girl with two toddlers in front of me had her card declined and she looked so fucking sad and said “let me call my husband real quick” and it was only 18 dollars, so I just paid for it, and she was very sweet and then as she walked off, the lady behind me said `”You know that was probably a scam, right?” and like, even if it was, like what a sad fucking scam, right? 18 dollars at the Aldi. If you’re “scamming” me for some Tyson chicken and apple juice and cauliflower, then just take my fucking money. 

“A scam” people are fucking wild.  

This happened to me, too. A woman had used WIC for the majority of her stuff (which I say from personal experience is such a long and embarrassing process) and to buy the remainder of her groceries, which included diapers and wipes, she used a card, and it got declined. I bought the other $30 of her groceries because hey, I’ve been there, and now I’m not. She was extremely emotional and began to cry and even hugged me. My mom called me on the drive home and could tell I had been crying myself, asked what was wrong, and when I told her what happened, she berated me for being “duped.” I couldn’t believe she could be so disappointed in one of her children for doing something- nice? Is that the hill you want to die on? Getting mad about people needing groceries?

I once paid for a woman’s bill at the vet…it wasn’t a big one, but she was trying to pay for some medication for her dog, and her card was declined. And her lip started trembling, and she says “I don’t get paid until Tuesday, would he be ok until then?” 

So I just told them to add the $20 something onto my bill, and I thought she was going to break down crying right there.

And I don’t care if it was a scam or not. Just do nice things for people sometimes. 

Do good recklessly.

Anyone else have a “hung” transfer at WordPress?  My import has been processing for more than two days (nearly three now), and for the last entire day it’s been sitting at 9153 of 11,293.  Just sitting there, with the spinning “in progress” in the status bar.

The support people keep giving me the same canned response – “It’s not stuck, it’s in the queue waiting to start”.  No, it started 2 days ago, it got about 2/3 completed and now IT’S STUCK.  If it was in the queue waiting it would be at 0%, not nearly finished and just sitting there spinning.

I hate to get my angry voice on with them because yeah, I know they’re swamped right now, but they’re ignoring all the information I’m providing them and just spouting the same thing over and over.  I know it’s from a script and they’re not actually reading any of the questions on that board because literally every post over there has the same exact response (and I’ve gotten that same exact response from 4 different support people already).

I’m tempted to just close the whole thing out, my computer’s been on for 3 days now trying to get that transfer finished.

“If your import has not completed in 24 hours, please contact support.”

72 hours now…

Heh, within 5 minutes of posting this I got a new reply over there and this time the guy actually read what I wrote lol

Apparently my blog went back into the queue for a second time (too big for one attempt?  I dunno) and when the second one starts (it’s waiting its turn at the moment) it’ll finish the rest of my download, skipping the ones that have already transferred.

So if anyone else is having this same issue, this might be what the problem is.

Poor laptop’s gotta run another couple of days without a reboot…sorry baby, it’ll all be over soon.  I hope

Real talk, though, because it needs to be said: as much as we all joke that porn was the only good thing this place had left, the reality is that it being the only place where one could regularly engage with and promote sexual content being gone is really not understanding at all what makes this place special. I mean we all joke about “horny on main” and all that, but the reality is that for a lot of the LGTBQ+ community, particularly younger members still discovering themselves and members in extremely homophobic environments where most media sites were banned (but Tumblr wasn’t even considered important enough to be), this was a bastion of information and self-expression. For a lot of artists too, this was a great place to come and post NSFW work and get traction that became Patreon pages that became honest jobs.

The problem with “family friendly” social media is that more often than not, the ones hit  the most by the whole family friendly nonsense are marginalized groups that have no vehicles to express themselves. Stuff like YouTube consistently bans or flags simple content featuring something as innocuous as two men kissing as “adult” content and makes it hard for LGBTQ+ content creators to compete with their non-queer peers for a lot of those reasons.

The ultimate problem isn’t even that banning of NSFW content, it’s the general mess surrounding it and unintended consequences to these groups. For MONTHS Tumblr has had a huge problem with porn spam bots and outright child pornography, and for MONTHS the majority of the userbase has been in general consensus that both of these things needed to stop. Tumblr did NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. When Apple finally removed their app from the store, SPECIFICALLY because of the child pornography, Tumblr decided to do what any rich corporation owning a social media site with zero understanding of what makes it popular would do, and decided that the best course of action was to eat itself like an Ouroboros. Rather than admit that they have done an absolutely shit job at keeping pedophiles off this website and rather than hiring the necessary staff to carefully moderate content, they decided to loose a poorly programmed bot that literally deleted perfectly SFW blogs with thousands of followers, and rather than properly handling moderation, they decided that it was best to simply go the lazy route and block anything even remotely NSFW.

They run this site in the worst way possible, and I don’t understand how @support or @staff or their completely oblivious “CEO” plans to keep this sinking ship alive.
