Pokemon headcanon that once Absol are studied and people realize they prevent disasters instead of causing them, particularly dangerous workplaces get themselves a workplace Absol and it also decreases accidents.

Construction sites and fishing ships and factories will have one that pretty much just lazes about until it just gets up howling one day and knocks a dude down. They almost never figure out what would have happened but they’re always like “yes absol thank you absol I am so grateful to be on the floor right now. Can I offer you a treat in this trying time”

Its so funny how staff finally cracked the code in how to wrench money out of the hands of the idiotic little shrimp people that infest its website and it is letting us pay to punish other people via forcing them to look at our bad posts. It was that easy. there are people at staff screaming and sobbing and spraying champagne bottles in each others faces right now. Miserable miserable years and years of trying to squeeze blood from a stone and it was this simple all along.

dissociation is not the same as zoning out.

really liking something is not the same as having a hyperfixation.

being tempted to do something is not the same as a compulsion.

not being good at spelling is not the same as being dyslexic, having maths anxiety is not the same as having dyscalculia, and being clumsy is not the same as being dyspraxic.

dying your hair a funky colour and then spending a weekend alone is not the same as having a mental breakdown.

stop using specific psychological words to mean something different to what it really means.

because conflating a normal experience everyone has with a symptom or trait of a mental illness or neurodivergence causes real harm. it takes the meaning away from a word meant to describe a specific, and often challenging, experience.

So About Tumblr Blaze

nonsenseplayercharacter:

As the new Tumblr feature has rolled out, everyone’s been having a lot of fun seeing ad pvp, gay hobbits, random people’s pets, and even the limited time weed discount. But uh. I’ve discovered something potentially really bad about Blaze.

Blaze does not filter blocked tags.

Luckily I don’t have any tags blocked for serious reasons–I block the furry tag because blocking nsfw wasn’t enough to keep sketch art off what the algorithm wanted for my dash, and I block homestuck because. Well I don’t even know why; I click every post with it but like. it’s there as a warning or something I don’t know.

ANYWAYS I’ve gotten ads for both of these tags, one a furry artist with open commissions (their art was great, good on them for advertising an actual product /gen) and the other an ad for the Homestuck Discord server. Neither of them were blocked on my dashboard.

This is an important issue because of the way Tumblr is filtering Blaze posts. While Blaze posts are put through a screening process, it’s not very vigorous. One post tagged ‘sex’ and another containing the entire Bee Movie script were allowed past the filters. As with the previous ads, these ads in particular are fine. However, Tumblr’s leniency with this can cause issues to people blocking tags for serious reasons. For example, a post tagged unreality and boosted using Blaze would still show up on somebody’s dash who needs it filtered.

So, what do we do? Let me be clear, I am escatic for Blaze to roll out for all users. I think it’s a fantastic idea. In addition, I don’t want the solution to be “better” screening for Blaze posts. Tumblr has always been the website that lets you say die. I want to keep it as such. However, I think it’s very important that @staff try to please implement a feature within Blaze that allows ads to be filtered by blocked tags. Either by checking if a user is blocking a tag before selecting them to see it, or by blocking it on their dash. Clearly the first is ideal but I’m not a web developer (I’m barely a developer at all), so whatever can be done to make sure this feature can be implemented safely is important to me.

Thanks for reading this if you did, I’m not sure how to get the word out but I want people to be informed before anything bad potentially happens.
