Can anyone tell me if the Unabomber was problematic
The fact that pre-Unabomber Kaczynski was a once-in-a-generation mathematical genius means that citing his research can be a tadawkward unless you just roll with it, which has resulted in the greatest footnote ever written.
I appreciate the efforts of everyone sincerely explaining to me why the unabomber is problematic but truly the only people who deserve any of my attention are the above commenters and this person in the notes
I’ve worked so hard for my art but there’s almost no time for it. I spend so much money on my studio and spend all my free time there but I’m not productive enough. Im having a crisis and I don’t know if im good enough anymore. I don’t like any of the things I’ve done and I want to burn it all. I know it’s not possible for me to become a great artist, because there isn’t enough money to make enough time. I wish I could have enough money to make time for the art I have in mind but I don’t know how.
a friend of mine is allergic to salad, when he eats salad he literally throws up
ok. i am not your friend who is allergic to salad though
How you be allergic to salad? it’s not a specific food. It’s not. It’s an assembly method for a lovely cold-food. It doesn’t have to have dressing. it doesn’t have to have lettuce. Shredded broccoli and cheese with herbs in a oil-and-vinegar dressing. Raisins and shredded carrots in that weird sweet dressing. Weird dry salad.
I don’t know why everyone wants to be a contrarian about this. We all know they were referring to leafy green salads, which is the most common kind of salad, and lettuce is a common trigger for several GI issues (which a friend might mislabel as “allergies”). Regardless, it is possible to be allergic to pretty much every ingredient in a salad.
cool but i am still not the guy who is allergic to salad
Everyone who wants to join tumblr should be shown this post as a warning for what they’re getting into.
quick and dirty guide to recognizing stolen content on tumblr
there is RAMPANT art and photography reposting on this stupid website, and it occurs to me that folks might not know how to recognize it. here are the mental gymnastics i go through every time i see a sus post
1. is there a caption? most creators tend to leave one. maybe it’s so their url is prominent, or to express their thoughts about the piece, link their shops/websites, etc. most reposters leave the captions blank
2. look for credit in the picture. is there a name, handle, or watermark? does it match the url?
3. check the original post. often you’ll find that the original poster actually linked the artist. go forth and reblog that version!! for some godforsaken reason people keep REMOVING CREDIT on this website and i will MANIFEST INSIDE YOUR HOUSE IF YOU DO SO
4. check the tags of the original post. beyond the main fandom/character/subject tags, creators tend to have a #my-art tag or something similar. photographers often use #photographers-on-tumblr/lensblr. sometimes they’ll also have thoughts about their work there. this doesn’t always work, but personally i never see reposters adding tags like this
5. look at op’s other posts and bio. is there anything about being an artist or photographer in the description? does the art they post look the same? usually this is where you’ll Know if it’s a serial reposter, because their blog will be FULL of reposted shit with no captions that all have different styles. also half the time their blog description straight up admits it
6. check the notes to see if someone added the proper credit. at this point, if you know it’s a repost but still wanna reblog it, at least give credit where it’s due. see if someone else already did the work for you
7. reblog and add a link with creator credit. if you know it’s a repost, and you can’t find credit, consider doing your part to help creators get their well-deserved recognition. usually you can just google the watermark in the picture. otherwise reverse image search on google or tineye is your friend
8. if the original creator is on tumblr, reblog their version of the post. if you’ve gotten this far it’s not hard to search their blog for it
9. consider letting the artist know their art has been stolen and send them the link. this way they can take action and file whatever claims they need to get it taken down
10. finally, support original content creators! look at the #artists-on-tumblr and #photographers-on-tumblr tags, follow your favourite creators and reblog their work. seriously it can make a huge difference
if you read this far, THANK YOU. making sure content creators get their credit is literally the bare minimum we can do to be respectful of the countless hours they spend on their work. especially when that content is freely accessible
