April Fools day here is always funny because my dash is full of “here’s a Rick roll but it’s actually a different song” “here’s ‘do you love the color of the sky’ just kidding! It’s not the full long post!” “Here’s a drawing I made of a kitty! Just kidding! It’s two kitties and they’re best friends” and we do this unironically and completely ignoring the blood lust we all experience every year just two weeks prior

UM GUYS. I JUST NOTICED A CRAZY ISSUE W THE TUMBLR UPDATE.
YOU CAN SEE THE ICONS OF ANONS SOMETIMES.
The way I was able to recognize several anons in one of my inboxes bc of this error. Oh my god. Guys. This isn’t supposed to happen.
Weighing in to say:
YES, I SEE THIS ON MOBILE. HOWEVER I DO **NOT** THINK IT’S SHOWING THE ANON’S REAL IDENTITY.
The profile pictures I see next to anon asks are profile pictures that belong to other, non-anon asks in my ask box also.

Some info
there are 14 asks in my inbox from the last ~5 days
9 anons, 5 logged in users
ALL 14 show pfps, including the 9 anons
ALL THE SHOWN PROFILE PICTURES BELONG TO THE 5 LOGGED IN USERS
I think the bug is the inbox INCORRECTLY attributing anons to neighboring, logged-in asks.
Which is still a bad bug! Considering it makes it look like a long-time follower of mine sent me a spam ask.
And is worse if, say, one of these was anon hate.
But it’s NOT the anon’s real identity. It’s a neighboring ask asker’s identity
So if you have anon hate in your inbox that looks like it’s attributed to your dear friend, who sends you lovely asks all the time, it was Not them.
ALT
CONFIRMED THE BUG IS INCORRECT ATTRIBUTION.
Thanks @thepatchycat for being a test subject. As you can see the icon being attributed to this ask is NOT the patchy cat
The pictured icon belongs to @watchingforcomets who sent me a nice ask about nail polish yesterday which I have not yet answered!

altonin:

if you want to actually start to end homelessness, you need to give homeless people unconditional homes, including when we use them to do drugs or sit around drinking. either housing is unconditional or it isn’t

someone sitting at home alone, an active alcoholic, squandering your charity, drinking all day is better situation than a street homeless alcoholic. someone using drugs in your charity house is better than them doing the same w no shelter

most of you would not like most street homeless people, I definitely don’t and didn’t when I was street homeless. for every one person who uses unconditional shelter to turn themselves around, someone else will do jack shit and very slowly, if ever, work through the issues that made them homeless, will maybe never be able to live independently. still better than street homelessness, still worth doing. ultimately either you believe that shelter should be universal or you don’t

homeless people actually can’t be rehabilitated if you want to end homelessness. we either affirm the right to shelter for the worst drunken, lying, filthy, cheating, self destructive homeless people that exist, genuinely irredeemable wankers, or we concede that shelter is not a right

This post is the distilled essence of everything I believe in.

Okay the funniest thing about this is that everyone’s saying I’m taking away his space by putting things in the window
He has this entire one right next to it with a blankie and he uses it exclusively for people watching. He really only goes to the other window when he decides to be A Menace
Also his name is Banjo
He as a stroller
Omg there been updates!!

“After countless hours of research and development performed by our country’s top scientists, our company has developed a realistic AI human voice indistinguishable from the real thing that can respond to phone calls is real time”
Incredible. I was doing that when I was six years old. How much money did you spend on this
”Our AI admin’s intelligent response system allows it to take messages, summarize and generate emails, and enter and edit calendar events!”
Your thirty billion dollar Hazbro speak-and-spell set my in-person appointment to the wrong time zone without telling anyone and then told me and the company rep that I was wrong about what country I’m in
If we aren’t going to establish universal basic income for all the poor fucks being squeezed out of the workforce then we gotta legislate some kind of prioritized hiring system where you can use an AI system until a single qualified human being capable of doing the task shows up with a resume. I’m not joking. Prove to me that there was no other way to do X task. Justify your argument for canning the more qualified, more adaptable, actual individual who’s living on or below the poverty line while their skills are wasted in a completely unrelated field they don’t want to be in. That and/or pay a tax equal to that which you are withholding from an actual member of the community you are leeching off of. I am dead serious

Reading articles about MrBeast’s dominance of YouTube is fucking bizarre because, from my perspective, the dude isn’t even on YouTube. I’ve never watched one of his videos. YouTube has, to the best of my knowledge, never recommended one of his videos to me. Every thumbnail screenshot of his looks like something you could tell me was a photoshopped parody of YouTube culture, and I’d believe you. No one I follow on YouTube ever mentions him, even negatively or in passing. The first time I ever heard his name was in regards to the quality of his ghost kitchens. The only way I know he isn’t a mass, shared hallucination is that I’ve witnessed the thoroughly mid-looking chocolate bars he sells at Walmart for some reason

Okay, I was not expecting this at all and I have to admit, I have not listened to any music from Chappell Roan before, my fault and that is going to change…but this is hauntingly beautiful and it’s beautiful to see so many people come together to do something for not only themselves, but for this video too.
This needs to be shared everywhere really, it really is beautiful.
I know this song well but hadn’t listened to it in a few months, and this version just made me cry and made me think about various queer regrets and frustrations I had during the era I grew up in. It means so much to see people come together to sing this.

Me: I don’t get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I’m like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?
The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it’s the fascism. You’re completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you’re also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you’re going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.
Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.
Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.
