1 follower = Tumblr Newbie. 10-40 followers = Tumblr Beginner. 50-99 followers = Tumblr User. 100-349 followers = Blogger. 350-500 followers = Dedicated Blogger. 501-799 followers =  Tumblr Expert. 800- 4,999 followers = Tumblr Popular. 5000+ followers =Tumblr famous. 

NOTE: It ought to be 1–9 followers for Newbie (or additional category for 8 more followers maximum, or just from 2 to 9 in total), as a gap cannot exist.

POST (sorry, my re-blog is linked, as various blogs (including already non-existent one of the original poster's) can be deleted by owners (or worse, by Tumblr in much rare cases) any time.

If to take fiction & non-fiction, I would divide them. A. fiction. All at once, sorted by author's first (etc.) letter(s) of surname, BUT children's books (picture books = pre-school mostly | chapter books with or without pictures (= juvenile literature or US term Middle Grade) are SEPARATED from so-called books for adults (starting from ~ level of secondary (high) school English curriculum, but not limited by classics) + pre-school thin | small | lift the flap etc (for early readers) books were* located separately as stacks, due to their non-standard size. Big children's books had their own tall shelf (standing, yes!) B. Non-fiction. By genres (but mostly whichever shelf (as opposed to two bookcases) had* space. We had* informative books mostly (dictionaries | encyclopaedical kind of books & medical books (related to medications & illnesses) + some books about celebrities (quality ones, not rubbish like some of the ones can be published now for profit) & we knew exact location of a book in most of cases, so if something wasn't in its place for prolonged period of time, it might be lost within a flat O_o ALSO A few of to read | + one or several ones to look through (to find something needed) were* located near bed (one of two bookcases & a shelf with big-sized children's books were near bed as well, he-he :P = as if to be in a library at any time.)

If you or anyone you communicate with might become a target of the Trump administration or a future more fascist state, do not use agentic AI.

If you aren't familiar, an AI agent is not a chatbot like ChatGPT or Claude. Agentic AIs do autonomous tasks like manage email or make reservations. Examples of agentic AI programs include OpenClaw and Microsoft Recall.

These AI agents are snitches.1 Signal President Meredith Whittaker has raised privacy concerns2 that we need to listen to. The short version is this: agentic AIs are being designed to save everything on your screen, permanently. This includes all messages that you send and any messages you receive. This data is not end-to-end encrypted, and there's generally no way to opt out private communication tools. Right now, it's impossible to know whether someone in a Signal group or WhatsApp or Telegram channel is using agentic AI and compromising you in the process. Even if you hate AI, you can’t ignore this. So please take action now to tell the billionare AI corporations one very important and very true thing: the only good AI is a privacy-protecting AI.

SIGN THE LETTER NOW

As the invasive surveillance of Flock3, Amazon Ring4 doorbell cameras, facial recognition5, and data brokers6 is actively being resisted at an unprecedented scale, agentic AIs are yet another threat vector. Even experts7 can’t trust it.

For an AI agent, disappearing messages never disappear and all of your passwords are a government inquiry away. This leaves your most sensitive communications and tools available for subpoena or worse—for sale to data brokers and advertisers, exposed to malicious hackers, and potentially even eagerly shared without a warrant by an AI company in need of political points. Big Tech needs to step up the privacy protections immediately, sign our letter to them now.

RAISE HELL

The promise of an AI Agent is so tempting: just give the software access to everything that appears on your screen and it will buy your concert tickets or research your vacation. But people are getting less and less interested in trading their privacy and safety for convenience. In this moment of heightened repression, data-hungry government systems are actively being deployed8 to scare people who speak out. Right now, any activist, immigrant, or marginalized person9 should be very concerned, because Big Tech’s agentic AIs spy on the tools we have to keep us safe: our Signal messages, our phone calls, our encrypted documents, our passwords.

These tools will continue to be less safe until the developers of agentic AI take responsibility for the massive threat their products are to movements for justice and liberation. A good AI, open source or corporate, will not10 betray its users. If AI developers would like their technology to succeed, robust privacy standards need to come first. Tell Big Tech: nobody wants their AI bot to rat out everyone they care about.

TAKE ACTION

Do not install any agentic AI that isn’t truly private by design—and spread the word. This is one more way that we have to keep each other safe.

Hey everyone, don't mean to scare you but; the UK is at it again with their extreme online surveillance and if their plans work out, I will not be able to be here anymore. Like, I will barely be able to use the internet at all. It will not be safe for me to do that.

So back in 2025, the Online Safety Act came into effect over here, and despite government officials constantly going to the press saying it only covers pornography and "harmful content", it does in fact effect any website with a search function and user-generated content that is accessible in the UK. Websites that comply force UK citizens to go through "age assurance", which means you need to either hand over a government ID or scan your face to use it to prove you're over 18. This is, of course, a terrible idea. These age assurance providers are not regulated and have no connection to the UK or its government, and there have already been data breaches due to this. Even if these providers were regulated by the UK, the UK has a terrible track record of preventing data and security breaches. The UK government does not have the tools to prevent them. We should not be doing this in such a large scale. This one is from just today!

But here's where it gets even worse: the UK government is working towards expanding this. They want to get even harsher, and they also want to ban VPNs (sorry, "restrict them for under 18s", aka put them through age assurance and make then useless). This has been a long time coming, they've been talking about VPN banning since 2022, but they're finally attempting it now. I cannot safely use the internet without a VPN. I do not live in a household where I can safely use the internet if there is a risk of my activity being traced. This is the same for a lot of vulnerable people. Thankfully, in the source provided about restricting VPNs, there is already pushback from people working in government on this, but as you can see from the 2022 article, this has been a pattern for a long time. They want VPNs banned, and when they do, I will not be able to be here anymore. Neither will others in my position. It is as simple as that. Not to mention that depriving children under 18 of an online safety tool that could keep them safe from trackers and data thieves is just... monumentally stupid? Stop making children's data vulnerable, you morons??

But you can help! The link at the top (also here) is a consultation you can fill out even if you're not in the UK! All questions are optional and skippable, you can just fill out the ones you want to.

There are a LOT of leading questions in here, it could not be more obvious that they're looking for a specific outcome here, but we need all the pushback we can get! Seriously, I know the entire world is pushing for age verification now, but the UK's push for total surveillance is particularly fucking scary right now. I didn't even go into what's been going on with digital ID here. It's honestly so terrifying.

If you could fill this out and share it, I'd be so grateful! And if you're in the UK: contact your MP! You can find out who yours is here. Thank you!
