Things like this can’t be ignored. Please reblog.
I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

Just sos you knows, AO3 is down under a DDOS attack right now. They’ve been coming back in little blips and then disappearing again. It’s been several hours. (For reference, it’s currently 3 p.m. eastern, July 10, 2023.)
https://twitter.com/AO3_Status/status/1678468065070030856
The culprit (as with a few other DDOS attacks recently) is Anonymous Sudan, a group that is likely Russian, not Sudanese. The ‘reason’ they gave–that AO3 is “full of disgusting smuts and other LGBTQ+ and NSFW things,” is thin and probably not completely legit, though still legitimately concerning.
The AS claim: https://twitter.com/FalconFeedsio/status/1678397195039526912
Reporting on AS: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-06-28/anonymous-sudan-does-group-behind-microsoft-cyberattack-have-ties-to-russia (you can use archive.ph to get this one, 12ft doesn’t seem to work)
As noted here, https://twitter.com/honeyskeleton/status/1678449598703050769:
DDOS protection is expensive especially for a high traffic site like ao3. And it’s uniquely vulnerable as an independent site without ads or other corporate support. SPECIFICALLY targeted bc of its queer works and yet ppl will still complain every time they ask for donations lmao
So, again, when AO3 comes back online, please don’t go hard with refreshing all your tabs. Please do remember to download fics you love early and often as you continue in your whole ~reading journey~. And please do support AO3 through a dono or becoming a donating member, if it is possible for you to do so.

Hello 👋 my ❤ friends !
I am asking you to support my newly created campaign to help my family survive the gruesome war over Gaza to safety and ✌️ peace.
Life has become incredibly harsh, tough and full of hardship and painful suffering. We lack all he basic living essentials and necessities such as food, water , medicine and other needs.
The war has made our life hopeless and desperate. My six-member family has been going through the hardest days they have ever experience for almost eleven months due to the disastrous war.
The war has taken every beautiful thing from us, leaving us homeless, displaced and jobless.
The rising prices of all necessary items of life has complicated our living conditions especially when all our savings were spent over the least necessities and needs.
So I am now asking you to lessen and minimize our burdens and loads of life through your contribution. You can help my family survive through donating whatever you can or reposting my messages.
Yours
Rewaa

if anyone could find this that would be great,
this doesn’t have many notes yet!!! make sure to make this reach the farthest corners of tumblr!
Hi,
I’m Alaa Hilles, and I’m reaching out in a time of desperate need. I lived in Gaza, where I ran three clothing stores and built a life with my family. Sadly, the ongoing conflict has destroyed everything. We’ve been forced to move seven times, lost our home and businesses, and suffered the tragic loss of my nephew.
I fled to Egypt alone, hoping to eventually bring my wife, six children, and elderly parents to safety. The distance is heart-wrenching, and they are still in constant danger.
I’m asking for your support to help reunite my family and bring them to safety. Your donation will cover travel, legal fees, and initial costs for setting up a safe home here in Egypt.
Any assistance you can offer would mean the world to us. Your generosity could bring us the hope and safety we so desperately need.
Thank you for considering our plea.
Warm regards,
Alaa Hilles
Help me to save my family

My name is Mahmoud, and today I am writing about my family
I’m husband and father of two children we evacuated at the beginning of the war. but my family is still suffering inside Gaza
My family was a beautiful, cheerful family that loved life and they love each other.
We have children are make fun and they the source of happiness for home
Until one day, the sounds of explosions overtook them. Days passed, and these days were very difficult for everyone in the family. Suddenly, my father fell ill, and it was determined that he was suffering with cancer, and needed surgery outside the Gaza Strip. But, because of the situation, he was unable to leave Gaza for treatment — eventually, due to lack of medical care and after suffering with his symptoms, he died. Five days after my father death, his children (my brothers- and sisters) were injured after their home was targeted. My brother suffered a double amputation of his feet and one hand, and his other siblings were injured as well, including a severe back injury.
https://gofund.me/363ae8ca
My family suffers under these difficult situation and they have been displaced several times in more than one place.
The money raised will go towards evacuation fees for my family of 16 members : 8 adults and 8 children. I hope everyone will help my family, and help them receive the urgent medical care they need.

I hope everyone can help me 🙏
Birding Jargon 101
Have you ever overheard birders talking about their hobby and wondered whether they were speaking English at all? Look no further! Here is a guide to some of the more basic birderspeak you may encounter.
Birdwatcher: someone who looks at birds. Many more dedicated folks hate to be called this, as it seems passive and amateurish to them.
Birder / Twitcher: someone who will travel to see specific birds. Twitcher is not used as much in America.
To bird / to go birding: to go looking for birds. Usually implies some level of effort in trying to find and count the birds in an area; this is more than passively looking at a feeder.
To chase: to travel to where a certain bird was sighted in order to see it again. Extremely rare sightings can attract huge numbers of birders on a chase.
List: a person’s complete record of the birds they’ve seen. This can be a life list, a state list, a year list, a county list…
eBird: an online database of bird sightings. Useful for finding birds to chase and keeping track of your lists.
To dip: to fail to see a bird you were looking for. If you chased a Snowy Owl and didn’t see one, you dipped.
To pish: to make a “pshpshpsh” noise with your mouth to draw birds out of hiding. This sounds like an alarm call, which causes birds to look for danger. You will look like an idiot while standing near the bushes in a public park and pishing.
To string: to fake a sighting of a (rare) bird. Suspiciously unverifiable and improbable sightings are often considered “stringy” if the reporter is not known to be a good birder.
Lifer / life bird: your first instance of seeing a certain species.
Fallout: an exciting phenomenon where certain weather conditions force many migrating birds to land in the same place. This can be absolutely astonishing as well as dangerous for birds.
Patch: a local area that you bird regularly.
Spark bird: the bird that ignited your passion for birding.
Nemesis bird: a bird you have repeatedly failed to see. Just hearing about it makes your blood boil.
Scope: a telescope made specifically for spotting wildlife. Typically mounted on a tripod. $$$
Bins / binocs / nocs: binoculars. Some of these abbreviations are more acceptable than others.
Warbler neck: a painful feeling from craning your neck to look directly upwards for a long time. Warblers are small neotropical migrants that tend to be really high in trees, hence blaming this on them. Avoid this pain by laying down on your back to look upwards if you want everyone to make fun of you.
Birder bra: a special binocular harness that takes the weight off your neck, alleviating warbler neck. Looks bralike. Will also get people to make fun of you.
Note that many of these words can be nouns, verbs, or adjectives: He is a stringer / That bird was a string. (noun) You know he strings all his sightings, right? (verb) This report sounds stringy. (adjective)
Completly unrelatable but important
So I know I don’t make this kind of things too much, but right now I’m seeing human rights and international human right in school, and I have already seen so much suffer and we have been only two weeks into the topic.
Thar is why our teacher showed us some videos and I finally get into a way to claim for human rights that are violated all around the world so please if you want, sign this petition from United human rights.
2 YEARS ALREADY
OK GOSHHHH, today is the second the last author anniversary and I pretty much got impressed by it! I’m really really grateful with you all, I am so happy we have got so far!
Lately I know I have been pretty inactive, and I keep thinking in the comic, I am not sure when I will be able to continue it due to university, but be sure I will continue this story! May be at the end of the year I might be able to finish the last pages of chapter two, and start working in chapter 3, no promises, but I will try it!
Meanwhile, get a little doodle of our work in progress!

ꗃ logging on... loading..... ❀ oak is online !! ❀ ╰┈➤ PLEASE PLEEEASE REBLOG MORE OF THIS POOKIE'S ART!! seriously, speaking about this rant, i understand this completely what you mean. people constantly think that we're "guilting them" into reblogging shit, when no! we just want a piece of the "popular artist" cake, and just want to experience having more than one note when we wake up in the morning. i think that tumblr people as a whole should give smaller artists much more attention, who spend just as much (if not MORE) time and effort on their art than the "popular artists" do. and some people say "it's good not to focus on the numbers" BUT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SAYING THAT ARE USUALLY *VERY* POPULAR THEMSELVES SO??? it's sad that i have to spam reblog my own content, just to get some sort of reaction, so i completely understand where you're coming from. your art is beautiful. /srs /pos
i dont know how much longer ill be on this app.

Important Information
>> If you want to rp with Maggie, you have to rp with her with her story, lore, abilities and all of that. I've been working on this story and the characters for years now, especially on Maggie. I won't change that now just becaus you're not comfortable to play with a character and their story that is its own thing and plays apart from the whole Marvel canon that we saw in the comics and movies. Cause you know, I wrote it this way on purpose so I'm able to write with any character no matter if movie, comic, canon or oc.
I mean I know not everyoe is comfortable interacting with ocs and that some people might be put off because her story is kinda completely it's own thing beside some mentoning of canon stuff. And I know some might need to spend a bit more time to get to know her which they don't want to do and that's okay, really. I don't have to write with anyone. But I won't change everything just for you. I'm sorry but I can't come up with a different story for everyone just because they want to write but don't want to put any effort into it to at least read about my character.
Especially because I have writen like everything important about her, the story and lore on my google sites and I'm also always happy to explain things more if something wasn't clear enough or confusing. You don't even have to read everything on my google site. Her profile and story would be more than enough which really isn't that much to read.
Sure I'm always happy when people have enough interest that they read the other stuff I have there too or my headcanons I post here. I've been working for so long on this and put so much effort into it but it's really not an obligation to do or something that I expect of you. All I expect is that you read my rules & guidelines page, Maggie's profile and her story. I think that's not too much to ask of you to read three pages, cause I'm doing the same with everyone I write with too. Especially if it's a character I don't know or barely know... Even with those I do know cause everyone has their own version to portray their character, their own headcanons and all that stuff.
And if we're honest you and your character don't even have to know everything about Maggie's past and the organization I came up with. Just like Maggie doesn't has to know everything about yours... Actually it wouldn't even make any sense for our character to know everything or even anything about eachother.
It's really not like I'm not open to listen and plot and maybe even change certain things that aren's so important to her story and character. You can ask literally anyone I write with that I'm always open to talk. That I always try to make sure to talk and plot with my partners first before anything else. That I always provide them with the infos they need regarding my character. I'm even open to take out certain characters of her story, to make everyone more comfortable like I mostly do with Maggie's mother who's also an oc.
But if your very first message to me is "Hey I would like to write but you need to change your character first" then this is not going to happen and not going to work out...
And especially I won't chage that Maggie is Hank's daughter!!! This is something I will !!!NEVER!!! change!!! No matter what. I don't even know why people asked me that in the first place... Maggie is Hank's daughter. Period! <<
>> PS: Don't worry this was no hate or anything like that. The person was actually very nice and polite. It's just that this happened more than once, that people asked me to write with them but told me I had to change her story first cause there was too less Marvel in it and it was too much of its own story. Or there were people asking me if I could change Hank being her father because reasons. And while this person now was very nice and understanding I had a few who weren't. So I thought I just put this out here, hoping that people read this and won't ask me that again. <<
also if you wanna combat the "women in the past only crossdressed because of misogyny!" you have GOTTA read chapter 11 in Transgender Warriors where leslie feinberg does such a good job constructing an argument against this kind of radfem reductionism
