One thing I love about Tumblr that wasn’t a thing on Reddit is that I can just write whatever the fuck text post I want. No titles. No putting text on images. No algorithms or karma. Just fuckin splatter your mind onto the screen and people will see it. Like god intended.
It’s one of the best things.
My Post: haha in a fleeeeb beepo bingus kinda mood rn
It has unironically been great for my mental health. It’s like the opposite of doomscrolling. Coomscrolling? Idk
Mood I’ve felt marginally better past 2 days than I have in how long???
Speaking as a longtime Tumblr user
It’s doing me good to see you all here. Like we’ve had some pretty sus UX changes lately (although nowhere near on the level of what Reddit’s doing—mostly it’s been months since they introduced Tumblr Live and we’re all still mad about it), and seeing y’all come stumbling in like “oh this is COOL” is letting me take a fresh look at the site and really appreciate why I love it here.
It’s great for the ecosystem too ever since the porn ban we’ve had like the same 200 dudes here and for the longest time the only fresh blood was teenagers. I can’t wait to see what they do with all the open space.
Aww poor Wakko! Lol the other two trying to get out of school too! 😂 Oh no! Kate posted it online?! That’s not good!! What a weird dream! Lmao the hallelujah music was perfect!! 😂😂
as a fanfic writer! who has a few semi-abandoned fics! if you do this i will personally bite you with my teeth. you are disrespecting art and the love people put into their work by pretending that an AI can even compare to it
I am vibrating with rage at this. Not just for the childish grasping whine of “I want it NOW”, unsatisfied with the millions of other free works of love offered up for entertainment, and not just for the complete ignorance of what makes a story; the arrogance to presume that the ending the author will make is irrelevant and that a substitute that goes completely in a different direction is just as good.
I FURIOUS BECAUSE THIS PERSON FED THE ALGORITHM WORDS THE AUTHOR NEVER WANTED A CORPORATION TO OWN. THOSE WORDS WERE FOR FELLOW FANS, FOR THE JOY AND LOVE OF THE ART AND SHE SPIT ON THAT. SHE FED THE CORPORATION THOSE WORDS. THEY WON’T LET THEM GO NOW. THE AI REMEMBERS AND LEARNS AND STEALS FROM THAT WORK FREELY AND WHOLEHEARTEDLY OFFERED IN FRIENDSHIP
She just fed the beast the screaming heart of a person who only offered friendship.
Reblogging again to add the Gospel Of @renabe4life:
This site has been going around Twitter trans accounts quite a bit lately, so just pointing out here too that it’ll do fuck all, they’re exploiting trans people at a time when hrt is particularly hard to access and please don’t give them your money
fuckin exploitative bullshit marketed in the worst way imaginable
literally selling laxatives as weight loss supplements
Reminder that this is an obvious conservative/alt-right OP that is explicitly made to hurt trans women as much as possible by increasing their testosterone.
The cruelty is the point. They’re laughing at you.
(Look at the “founder”’s photo on their website. It’s an AI-generated black person with colored hair. A conservative’s idea of what “muh libtards” look like. Additionally, they use their twitter feed to urge trans people and trans activists to share their whearabouts. This is an alt-right OP. Don’t fall for it.
Additional info:
I did a whois on the domain. Of course all of the information of the registrants is hidden (pls note the Iceland address is NOT AFFILIATED, this is a known fake address used for privated information on whois lookups)… HOWEVER, look at the registration date. June 2nd. (This would indicate the date the domain was FIRST registered.) Let’s look at the obviously fake reviews, shall we?
Would you look at that. There are fake reviews saying they’ve been on these pills for months, even though the site was just registered. How strange!
But wait, there’s more.
Huh. June 1st, 2023.
Huh.
Huh!!!! Interesting!!!
But wait! What about the queerquirk site? Maybe they were selling it there first!
Nah. Shits maybe a week older than estrolabs.com. Their Twitter confirms this.
Please, if you’re looking at this and thinking “eh, maybe people are being incendiary or touchy, maybe it’s real” - here’s hard evidence that it’s bullshit. Do not fucking buy this shit.
A product called “i can’t believe it’s not estrogen” by a company called “estrolabs” is being advertized on Twitter.
It is not estrogen. It is ashwagandha.
The active ingredient increases your lutenizing hormone, which will cause your body to produce more of whichever sex hormone it produces endogenously.
If you have testes, this will increase your testosterone levels.
If you are transfem, this shit will increase your testosterone levels.
They are lying to you to take your money. Don’t fucking touch it. Tell your friends and family.
If you’re desperate, DIY is an option. The subreddit r/TransDIY is an excellent resource, as is the DIY Wiki.
If what you really want is a herbal supplement, there are certain herbs that will have a minor antiandrogenic effect. The DIY resources here will have more information on it.
Edit: the dose of ashwagandha is so high that it will give you serotonin syndrome within four to eight weeks. This shit is evil.
