NATIONAL HOLIDAY

This post talks about a new DM feature in youtube. What it fails to mention is that as part of this new feature is that when you send someone a link to a video, and they open it in the youtube app, they will see who sent them the link. Specifically, your channel name.

If your google account name is your real name, so is your channel name by default.

This means the new default behavior is that everyone you send a youtube link to will see your full name if they open it in the mobile app.

To turn this off:

Go to your youtube app settings

Go to Privacy

Turn off "Channel visibility for shared links"

i am scouring the internet like the victorians scoured and destroyed all trace of joy and color from stolen relics for the LOST NAME OF THE ANCIENT PROCESS of textile-creation akin to knitting/crocheting/nålebinding that at least one academic/crafter used to recreate the leggings on this Glorious Motherfucker:

Archer statue from the Temple of Aphaia (ca. 480 BC) next to a reconstruction of its original paint job:

The leggings and sleeves would have created using a method called SPRANG which predates knitting and is over 3,000 years old. What's even sexier is modern artisans managed to recreate the entire outfit using the original method!

Mmm-HMM, love me a shapely thigh in harlequin hosiery. Put👏men👏in👏clingy-ass👏clothing👏again👏👏👏

Unfortunately english sources are hard to find, partly because Google's a shithole, but also because this textile project comes from a German museum, in Germany, where people tend to speak (and publish) in German. That said, the original link is to a short-but-sweet article I would have had no problem finding in 30 seconds a mere few years ago. fortunately i have clever beautiful insane people following me, but alas not everyone has such luxury. thanks to everyone in the notes who shoved themselves down this rabbithole with me!

How did you work out the dom/sub dynamic of your characters? Sometimes sexually people seek out the opposite of the energy that they want in their real life.

So, I've been wondering if we could start this trend? I always see people talk about how they feel weird reblogging their own stuff, and I've been guilty of this, too.

But the thing is, it's so easy to miss cool art, fic, gif sets, screenshots, headcanons, and other creations. The dashboard moves fast. A lot of people don't always have time to go through everything that was posted in the last 24 hours or maybe they're not on tumblr every day. Maybe they saved a fic in their tab and forgot. Maybe somebody followed literally yesterday and hasn't seen 98% of what's already been posted. Any reason is a good reason.

I think we should get more comfortable with reblogging our own stuff. It doesn't matter what kind of post it is or if it's from the last week or 10 years ago. It doesn't matter if you've already reblogged it 3 times in the past. It doesn't matter if it has 5 notes or 500.

I've thought that if we had a dedicated day for it and more of us made it a habit, it'd feel less weird? Plus, people who have missed those posts would have the opportunity to catch up.

We put a lot of love and effort into our works. Why not show them again?

Of course, that doesn't mean I want to contain self-reblogs to Sunday only. I've just thought that especially those that feel awkward about reblogging their own stuff could use it as an opportunity to do that. Like, if more people are doing it and all that.
