THIS IS NOT REAL. If you get this comment, they’re just trying to get you to delete your fic.

1) I would have gotten some kind of email from Ao3 if this was true

2) this comment is formatted to be perfect to tack onto any fic they choose

3) ALSO why on earth would Ao3 get rid of entire fandoms off the site? Even if they WERE inactive? Who knows if others will be ‘late’ to the fandom and want some fic to read. Who knows if someone wants to come back to their 6 year old account only to find most of their fics deleted.

I’m lucky to be a reasonable adult who has seen tricks like these who also had a very kind person comment their own doubts.

Please let your Ao3 friends know <3

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

phantomrose96

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.

phantomrose96

A screenshot of anon ask. The bug is showing a small icon which is a black and white sketch of a person in star-shaped sunglasses.   the anon ask reads "In case you want more test data: hi! I’m thepatchycat with a cat icon on a blue background! If tumblr is showing any other icon it’s incorrect!  Thanks for the PSA, I can see how that bug could get real bad real fast."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!

Losing my mind remembering that pic chelsea manning posted of the extremely undercover and not at all obvious fbi agent who was tailing her after her release

what kind of sixth sense do american have to recognize fbi agents that easily

pregnantseinfeld

to paraphrase her, its always the shoes.

americans please explain to a foreigner, he looks like some random dude to me

1. They all have the same haircut, almost everybody in law enforcement and the military have the same haircut due to regulations.

2. They all wear the same shoes. Same boots, and same overpolished dress shoes.

3. They act different. Shifty eyed and always on their own.

4. They’re kinda really bad at their jobs. I’ve encountered plenty of “undercover” cops outside of bars that ask questions no regular person in their right mind would ever ask. “How are you getting home?” “Who did you come here with tonight?”

5. America is a police state on a budget. Most officers are poorly trained, fbi agents require a 4 year degree (I think), but lord knows how much training they actually get. And the dumb kids from your high school always become cops.

It’s always the dense as a brick kid, with something to prove that becomes a cop. The kid that mouth-breathed and couldn’t chew gum and walk at the same time.

Their shirts are never form fitting so they can conceal a weapon and cuffs.

Always look at the watch, it’ll be expensive but in neutral tones (uniform standards strike again).

They will always sit where they can see their target and the nearest exit.

They will have a partner who is less obvious but wil point a recording device (phone or camera) at you. Check elevated positions, it gives them the clearest view to track you and keep an eye on their partner at the same time.

One time when i lived in phoenix, I was driving home through residential streets from Panda Express on April 20th and there was a 40something year old white man standing quite literally in the MIDDLE of the fucking road wearing a brand new straight from the store weed jersey (jersey #420 with a big pot leaf), a wornout old raiders hat, regular-fit straight leg jeans, and cop shoes. This man proceeded to try to wave me down to stop since I was driving slowly (again, residential neighborhood) and as he did so fully yelled “You buying bro? You buying? 420 bro 420 you buying?”

I almost choked laughing so hard. I couldn’t stop myself from just yelling “NO THANK YOU OFFICER” as i drove by him.

brunhiddensmusings

for the past 60 years law enforcement, military, and even literal espionage/intelligence based organizations have assumed that rigid conformity to dress code was more important then actually training how to go undercover, blend in, or understand what the fuck theyre doing

largely because the ‘we are infallible’ mindset is too strong for them to consider they might not be doing very good

Getting Out Of An Abusive Relationship

Sometimes it can be difficult to leave an abusive relationship, so today I will be addressing how to leave one!


Reasons Why Victims Find It Difficult To Leave

  • Society normalizes this behavior in depictions in books, shows, movies, and many other ways, so you may not even know you are in one
  • People in emotionally abusive relationships often feel that there is no better option for them because of the lowering of self worth
  • After abusers cause an incident they will often apologize or offer to make up for it, causing the victim to remember the situation as better than it was
  • It can be life threatening, women are 70 times more likely to be killed in the weeks following leaving the abuser
  • It’s hard to escape the cycle, most people try to break up with their abusive partner multiple times before it sticks
  • People often feel pressure to not give up on the relationship, to move on from the hurt they have endured
  • Victims will often feel or be told that the situation, feeling bad about their and their partners behavior
  • They believe that with time things will change. (Heads up, they don’t)


Leaving

  • Safety Friends Or Family: develop a code word with a trusted friend or family member to let them know you are in danger if you plan to leave. As well feel free to discuss a location to meet at.
  • Get an alternate cell phone that is not a home phone and cannot be shared so that numbers cannot be traced. Prepaid phones are often available at domestic violence shelters
  • Memorize numbers of friends, family, trusted people, and shelters in case you get ahold of someone else’s phone
  • Make a list of things to take with you if you must leave quickly. I will include a list in this article.
  • If you have evidence of domestic violence, take it with you!!

Shelters

  • When you leave you can try to find a domestic violence shelter near you! Shelters are also called Women’s Shelters and you and your kids can go there to be safe. Their are hotlines that you can call 24/7 if you need this help
  • Provide: counseling and support groups, help enrolling children in school, helping find work, legal and financial aid
  • Shelters also help find housing after your time staying there is up.

Safety Packing List:

  • ID documents including birth certificates, passport/immigration papers, and social security papers
  • Health insurance cards and information
  • Financial records
  • Housing documents
  • Recent credit report
  • Title or paperwork for car
  • Past two years tax returns
  • Retirement plan statements
  • Written copy of important phone numbers and addresses

Tips from orion

If you wake up one morning and you can’t move anything but your eyes DONT OPEN UR EYES

fuchsiakind

more info!;

- its called sleep paralysis 

- you will not be able to move or talk

- you will feel like there’s someone in the room with you

- you may hallucinate

- it is HORRIBLE

rniraclewhip

wiggle your tongue, it wakes you up. i get them a lot so yea

5t4rch1ld

THHHAAAANNNKKKK YOUUUU

cryztalgemz

it is also said that wiggling your toes and moving your fingers can help regain your full mobility faster

also, when OP says “don’t open your eyes” it is serious, let me explain:

while asleep, your breathing is very different than while you’re awake, you are consuming way less energy, so you breathe less.

in sleep paralisys, the part of your brain that controls your conciousness and your senses will be awake, but the part that controls your body and lets you move will not.

with this decreased breathing rate, your concious part of the brain will believe you are having difficulty breathing because something is preventing you from, which can lead to a hallucination, which will probably show something you are very afraid of sitting on your chest or strangling you.

if this ever happens to you, wiggle your tongue, your toes, and your fingers, this will help you wake up, but even if it is the middle of the night you should not try an go back to sleep, because it could happen again.

to prevent them you can try sleepinng on your side and preventing having your arms above your head while falling asleep.

sleep paralisys is very scary, please stay safe, and when it all pases remember that it is not real, and that you’re ok.

I have these when I'm like six or something it's very scary whenever I sleep I thought it's going to happen again lucid dreaming psa
