this is the darkest Dylan ever gets but he also straightens his hair. or MAYBE those are meant to be braids, there might be some texture there but it's very hard to discern in this screenshot

and then there's uuuh extra ambiguous Dylan

and then he's just a third brunette white boy

How to spot AI Hallucinations like a Reference Librarian (originally on Substack)

Medical diagnoses - this is nobody's business but yours. You don't owe anyone an explanation for why you are the way that you are

Trauma - same reason as above

Triggers - people can use these against you! Don't give people tools to hurt you. No one has to know what tags you block. Just block tags to stay safe!

Age - age is okay for adults to include but is iffy when you're a teen. Predators want this information, don't give people more than they need. Just state that you're a minor, that's all that anyone needs to know.

In general: stay safe. If you're not comfortable with every stranger out there having access to this information, you shouldn't post it on the internet.

The golden rule of information sharing on the internet is: What would happen if someone saw this who wanted to hurt me?

And also: Why tell people you are a minor? It will not keep you safer. It makes you a target for predators - you've now told them that you do NOT have experience identifying them, and you probably don't have friends who know how to spot the red flags in a "friendly" DM.

Years ago, chatrooms were full of creeps whose first question in private chat was always "A/S/L" - age/sex/location.

"Just state that you're a minor." Absolutely NOT.

Do not EVER tell people you're a minor. Do not EVER use it as an excuse. If something makes you uncomfortable, you can leave the situation without saying. Do not EVER create "child accounts." Lie about your age EVERYWHERE for EVERY ACCOUNT. Get yourself a fully functional adult account everywhere you go.

I've seen game websites run by sad, control-hungry mongrels who want to punish people if they ever find out an account was made at any point if the user was "underage." Do NOT let this influence you. NEVER confess your age or hint at it at any point ever when you are a minor. You are always an adult on the Internet. Always are, always have been. It's no one else's business.

Make the accounts you want. Enter the "age-restricted" pages you want. Never use your real birthday. Pick a fake birthday 30 years ago and that's your new go-to birthday.

No matter where you live, you can speak up and take action now to protect the coast of California from offshore drilling.

The Trump administration's plan for new offshore oil and gas drilling in federal waters is expected any day. If finalized, drilling could begin off the California coast as soon as next year.

We need you—our Aquarium Tumblr community—to act right now.

📣 California residents: Tell your lawmakers to vote YES on AB 1448—closing loopholes that let old infrastructure fuel new drilling. Submit by August 3.

📣 Everyone: Tell NOAA to keep California's coastal protections strong. NOAA needs to hear from everyone who loves the California coast, no matter where you live. Public comments are due August 22.

Our coast can't wait. Take action now:

You click the link, put in your address, and it identifies the appropriate legislators then AND PREFILLS MOST OF AN EMAIL MESSAGE FOR YOU. (There's a spot where you can add your own additional message but you don't have to.)

Don't have a California address, but care for the cause? Use this one (it's the governor's office): 1021 O Street, Sacramento, CA 95814
