It never fails to amuse me when I get “hello influencer” emails wanting me to push questionable products to my followers.

Like worstie, I can barely promote my own published book without wanting to curl up and die.

The fuck makes you think I’ll shill your discount wish shit?

Also, it’s Tumblr. If I try to tell anyone about your knock-off Wish-quality sex toy there’s going to be a horde of Autistic lesbians doing a power point presentation in the notes about safe sex toy material and correct battery storage.

Which I am 100% down for, but it will not get you any sales.

I was trying to figure out if you were someone important on a other platform, because there’s no way in hell anyone actually thinks you can be classified as “Influencer” if you have a big Tumblr blog.

And then also think advertising to this mob would be a good idea

There are actually lots of people who sell stuff successfully on here, usually drop ship stuff.

They’re just not disclosing it as ads, which they are supposed to do, and instead it’s marketed in a very Tumblr-esque way which can be summed up as “omg guys look how CUTE this is” followed by a different account underneath going “omg found it!!” and it links to a drop ship site with the item(s).

And the link usually has an affiliate tracker in it, which you may or may not be able to spot unless you’re familiar with them, which is also something you are legally supposed to disclose.

I used to get a lot of offers from around 2016-2020 to sell “moon lamps” on here, y’know those orb lights that look like a moon? Yeah. I was offered a higher kickback to make it look like I wasnt posting an add because these sellers know Tumblrites don’t like ads.

They wanted it to look as organic and hyped up as possible and then I’d just so happen to be like “omg you guys it’s on sale” and post a link. Which is skeevy as shit and also illegal af in the US.

It’s like the insta/tiktok girlies saying “link in bio” to get around saying “here’s a product I make money on if you buy it” because they want to sound like your friend because people are more likely to impulse buy stuff if a “friend” is recommending something.

They’re also trusting that everyone knows “link in bio” means “affiliate link” which is technically not enough of a disclosure but whatever.

This is why I tag all my own book promos with “affiliate links” because depending on which storefront you buy Hunger Pangs from, I may get a kickback from the vender which I do to help mediate the fees I lose from distribution. It’s not much—literal pennies in some cases—but I’m still legally required to state it.

It’s also why when I do post products I use or like, I make a point of letting people know I’m not an affiliate and not sponsored because despite the legal ramifications these people are flirting with by not disclosing their affiliate status, I want to be fully transparent with my followers when it comes to me trying to sell them things.

Y’all keep my lights on by reading my work and through my ko-fi and patreon. I am not about to risk that trust for the sake of some shitty vibrator sales from a sketch-ass drop shipper who wants me to pretend I’m not selling you things.

So, yeah. People do successfully sell stuff on here. A lot of us small indie creators sell our own work all the time.

But there are also drop-ship sellers on here who get enough of a kick-back from affiliate links to make selling cutesy kitsch stuff worth their time on here. They’re just making sure you don’t know you’re being marketed to.

those product posts thinly disguised as “omfg look at this cool thing!/I found it online!” seem to come in waves and once you’ve noticed the pattern they’re just annoying - unless they’re marine biology/dinosaur plushies of course in which case it’s just an opportunity to gawp

The most recent one I can think of is that jellyfish light. That’s 100% an ad, just hidden in tumblr-speak.

I find I can generally tell when it’s an ad posted by a corp/dropshipper vs someone extremely passionate selling something they made and love, but there’s a lot of the former floating around

God, thank you for saying something. I seriously considered making this same post back in July when I started noticing more and more posts of this kind with thousands of notes. Some of them were getting pushed onto my dashboard from a few of the most popular tags I track (like “artists on tumblr”) but a few were getting shared by actual people who I follow (omg these ethereal dragon hair clips are perfect for cosplays… 😒)

(Screenshots I took at the time - this particular blog has been thoroughly scrubbed from existence in the meantime.)

There is an extensive interconnected network of blogs with URLs like haha-lol-cute-funny, daily-meme-inspiration, omg-wow-tiktoks, etc. that bulk post vast quantities of stolen memes with broad appeal, spam them in a million popular tags, and then reblog them back and forth from each other. Once any given meme takes off, the OP is edited and the meme replaced with one of these stealth ads. Then, because of the inflated note count, the ad version of the post will get pushed to the dashboards of anyone tracking those tags.

If you go into the notes of any of these, half the reblogs will still be of the original meme. Here’s an example: Original meme / the ad it turned into.

(The OP of this one has already been taken down - screenshots because the images in this post are also liable to get scrubbed.)

The note count has the added benefit of making it look like thousands of real people are excited about the item in the post, and, for better or worse, people are strongly motivated by things they think others in their community are doing.

I see all the linked posts have already been deleted lmao.

lol they’re deleting things so fast tonight.

They really don’t like being called out.

Also if these show up in the tags of something they’re not actually related to/supposed to be in, you can report them as spam. Because they are.

hey nonbinary parents u kno how there’s shortened terms for mother and father but no good shortened terms for parent?? well i have the solution for you!!! instead of “parent” u can call urself “guardian”
which can be shortened to “guard”
and then when ur kid says things like “sorry i can’t go my guard says no” they sound rich and mysteriously important and u dont get misgendered and everyone wins

Additionally, when your kid has a bad influence trying to get them to do something they know you would be against they could say “Sorry, I don’t want to let my guard down” which is both mysterious AND a pun

The blorbos in my head finally taken form!

My lamb’s name is Faustitas, Faust for short. When captured for that final sacrifice, Faust was shaved of their wool. It took a while to grow it back. They have scars from the manacles that fade over time, but the neck scar from their first death, stays. Originally, the design of their fleece was the normal one you see in game, but they quickly decided it was basically a curtain that just got in the way and opted for sleeves. Dagger or claw preference in weapons.

Narinder gets to have a jumpsuit. As a treat. It’s easier to do physical work in them than the cloak that he spent the first five years of his indoctrination wearing. He has chain-rub shaped scars on his chest, wrists, and ankles. He spent the first decade or so absolutely despising Faust before he finally began tolerating them. In this time, Faust’s personality changed from bubbly (and thirsty for revenge) to withdrawn in the wake of his hatred. He was their dear friend before and Faust doesn’t quite get why he hated them so after being friends for well over a hundred years with him being The One Who Waits. So they feel hurt and betrayed. That and Narinder wanted to kill them for the Crown-

The plan is that, instead of the Lamb trying to woo babygirl, babygirl realizes he fucked up a bit and actually wants to get their friendship back.

Brainrot time-

Do you ever start bullshitting a paper, and then look over it halfway through and think, ’…Wait a minute, I could be onto something here.’

this is the definition of college.

Literally I was writing a paper on Asian salt water crocodiles, like a simple about them paper for a college class, and I started noticing some inconsistencies in the scientific papers I was sourcing and I accidentally discovered that the crocodile has been misdiagnosed as least concerned on the endangered species list when they should be classified as endangered and now my professor is having me write a formal report to the international Red List to have them reclassified and all I wanted to do was write this paper on an animal I thought was cool and now I’m considered an expert on this species…

this is how it works half of esteemed biologists trip and fall into their specialty while pursuing something else. one lecturer i just went to started as a biochemist researching antibiotics and discovered that crocodiles change colors based on environment and now he has 30+ crocs in his yard for research purposes and he’s just like… “wait… i’m a chemist…”

How did so many people end up with crocodiles on accident?????

you just go into science and after a while, crocodile…

here’s your regular reminder that if you consistently, regularly get headaches, you are almost certainly having migraines, not regular headaches.

MOST recurrent headaches are migraine headaches.

“migraine” does not mean “extremely painful headache.” it is a type and source of pain, not a degree of pain. migraines can also include some or all of the following: fatigue, sensitivity to light and sound, visual auras, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, cognitive impairment, etc. these symptoms can be mild or severe and it may actually be difficult to determine if you have them. (who wants a bright light in their eyes during a headache?? i thought that’s just how headaches were lmao.)

this is important because while aspirin, NSAIDs like ibuprofren, and other over-the-counter pain meds can effectively alleviate migraine pain, getting diagnosed with migraines allows for a wider range of treatments and preventatives.

it’s also important because, in my opinion, your average general practice doctor is not equipped to diagnose you with chronic migraine. don’t go to one expecting them to. a neurologist with migraine specialty is a better option, although a regular doctor can still be useful if they listen to you lol.

my life would be miserable and unmanageable without sumatriptan. and i never would have gotten a prescription for sumatriptan if i hadn’t gone to my GP and said, “i have migraines and want to try migraine medicine,” even though at the time i wasn’t 100% sure that was true.

if you have chronic headaches, they’re almost certainly migraines. if no one has said that to you before, let me be the first. start treating your migraines.

multiple times in my youth, i went to the doctor expecting them to figure out and tell me if i had migraines. each time, the doctor asked, “do you see an aura?” and when i said no, they determined i must not be getting migraines. no one ever told me that only 20% of migraine sufferers experience auras. that means 80% don’t, yet that is frequently used as important diagnostic criteria! what!

a book i recommend over and over is The Keeler Migraine Method by robert cowan. highly recommend if you’re trying to figure your migraine situation out.

Migraines don’t have to involve headaches! Turns out I’ve had migraines my whole life and I didn’t know, because it doesn’t cause headaches. Rather, I get

• Extreme irritability
• Photophobia
• Sound sensitivity
• Tingling and numbness
• Inability to remember words
• Trouble remembering
• Trouble with basic arithmetic
• Dizziness
• Visual changes (stop being able to perceive depth)
• Back and shoulder pain
• Fatigue

I chalked a lot of this up to autism and overstimulation.

I saw a neurologist and now I have medicine to treat my migraines. What I have are called ocular migraines.

Please look into migraines without headaches. You may be totally unaware that you have migraines.

Migraines without headaches are called silent migraines, and they’re absolutely a thing. For me they’re even more frequent than painful ones.

Here’s a test which, while not infallible, has led to multiple of my friends realizing that they had migraines and didn’t know it: Do you feel nauseated? Confused? Like you pulled an all-night even though you didn’t? Or are you feeling just generally off in a way that’s hard to define? Go into a really dark room and shut the door behind you. If whatever weirdness you were experiencing gets suddenly better as soon as you’re sitting in the pitch-dark, you almost certainly are having a migraine.

I’ve mistaken migraines for food poisoning and car sickness. I’ve had friends who have mistaken them for everything from seizures, to covid, to a poor night of sleep, to even just having had too much alcohol to drink. The symptoms of migraines are extremely varied, and very few people have all of them - but light sensitivity is common and a bit of a dead giveaway. If you have light-sensitive anything, bring it up with a doctor as a possible migraine symptom.

For years I would get migraines. I had the nausea, the visual auras were so powerful that I was effectively blind, and I would get very hard-of-thinking. But there was never any headache. Eventually after a lot of trial and error the way I learned to deal with it was to drink some room-temperature Mexican Coke (the American stuff didn’t do the trick) and lay down in a dark room. One long nap later and I would be able to see again.

I didn’t know from migraines at the time and when I asked people about what was going on they would say, “No headache? Can’t be a migraine, then.”

Anyway. I don’t get them anymore and I’m very happy about that. I never knew what triggered them or why they stopped.

Following the author of The Last Unicorn on Facebook is the only thing that makes being on that site worthwhile.

#all i know about the last unicorn is that alex hirsch hates this film#because the unicorn is a spoiled little bitch that never thanks the wizard for doing anything to help her

????????????????????????
is this true? because….she very much does thank him at the end of the movie

it’s in the gravity falls directors commentaries, and I trust his take

thank him while he’s busting his ass for you and you sit there complaining goddamnit

Well you shouldn’t, you should watch it for yourself before disparaging it because she literally does thank the wizard in the end.

The ONLY reason the wizard is traveling with the unicorn in the first place is because they escaped a witch together, and she asked what he wanted as a thank you for saving her and he requested to travel with her. She says she wishes he had asked for something else, but she lets him go with her. She literally thanks him the way he asked to be thanked.

And when the red bull is chasing her down, he turns her into a human (in the book, she was HORRIFIED to find out another wizard had done this to another unicorn, and he did it to her later anyway). She doesn’t want to be human. She didn’t ask him to turn her into a human. She doesn’t LIKE being a human, because it fundamentally changes who she is and she begins to lose her sense of self entirely because of it. All against her will. All of it without asking. And he acts the entire time as if he’s really outdone himself on how awesome he is for doing it.

And STILL at the end, when she has returned to being a unicorn, she thanks him AGAIN for saving her, and tells him that she’s still not who she was before, but she thanks him for that, too.

So whatever Alex Hirsch was watching wasn’t the same movie as what was on the screen, if he’s saying Amalthea didn’t thank Schmendrick. And even if she hadn’t, she’s not human. Her people don’t do anything the same as humans, including gratitude. It would show a real lack of understanding to judge an immortal, unfeeling creature by human standards, during the worst time of her very, very long life.

On Tumblr: Blood is overdone. Consuming the body as a whole is trite. Cock and pussy are classic. Hole, humorous. Of course body hair is either nostalgia-bait or feminist-praxis. What’s next for the erotic vocab of the blogger? Spit, pits, other orrifices? We will see

Leopard slug at work! It’s so pretty! My coworker didn’t roll up the shutters so it’d survive until I arrived. Put it into some shrubs, the office area sadly isn’t really great at plants.
