IT'S SPAMBOT AWARENESS POST TIME!

it looks like spambots are back on tumblr in droves. so, here's a reminder:

anyone that tags you in a post or comment/sends you an ask/DMs you saying your account has been restricted is a BOT!

anyone that tags you in a post/DMs you/sends an ask/makes a comment with a donation link is a BOT!

anyone that DMs you out of the blue with something like "Hello" or any other vague message that you've never interacted with before is a BOT!

anyone that comments under your post saying they want to buy your art is a BOT!

anyone that comments under your post saying that they can't DM you but have something important to tell you is a BOT! no matter how trustworthy they look!

anyone that DMs you/sends an ask/etc with a link to an OnlyFans or similarly NSFW link is a BOT!

the same goes for accounts posting nothing but IRL NSFW material! BOTS!

I really like how the scientology speedrunning trend is developing, in this clip we see that the participants are

Not deterred by the closed door

Working as a group

Protecting their identities

Inflicting material costs to the institution via property destruction

Getting away at the end

you know, this delightful little guy? an image from 2017?

not only is it on the static cling page, it's also on the pages for static electricity, triboelectric effect, electric field, eletrostatics and electrostatic induction (and you can also find it on this user page captioned "my fav photo", which i thought was delightful, and way down on this user's page)!

it's full description on wikimedia also reads: "Styrofoam peanuts clinging to a cat's fur due to static electricity. The triboelectric effect causes an electrostatic charge to build up on the fur due to the cat's motions. The electric field of the charge causes polarization of the molecules of the styrofoam due to electrostatic induction, resulting in a slight attraction of the light plastic pieces to the charged fur. This effect is also the cause of static cling in clothes."

except, i left out the last bit. the last bit reads: "Image cropped losslessly from File:Cat and styrofoam – electrostatic charge (235112299).jpg using cropgtk"

now, this means this isn't the full image.... so what is the full image? it's this!

now, what i find really endearing about this photo, is that, while this file was uploaded to wikimedia in 2015 (as opposed to the cropped version being done in 2017), the original picture is actually from february 2006! you can see this in the summary!

the picture itself actually originates from flickr, and it has a DELIGHTFUL little description:
