not to be a joyless hag but I've started seeing genderbent "yuri" shipping Markiplier and Ryan Gosling and I can't help but think of someone I recently I unfollowed for posting that they have an easier time caring about genderbent versions of boy characters than regular fictional women
and I'm also building some connections to that post I made about reading books by Black women (you know the one) and the people who would respond by saying something akin to "joke's on you, I only read fanfic 😜" as if that were some kind of clever loophole and not a demonstration of the exact thing I was talking about
like yes fandom is about fun or whatever but idk man at what point has your desire for no thoughts head empty uncritical consumption left you splashing around in something that's been blended down to an indistinguishable goo for the sake of avoiding anything remotely challenging. with the thing that's "challenging" here being. you know. giving a shit about women and Black people and like frankly anyone but your shippable white men (and honorary Markiplier).
don't make me tap the five year old teen vogue article, etc

Hello, tumblr! I saw something on here the other day that worried me, so I decided to Do Science about it. But I can't do it alone: I need your help to build the dataset!
Here's what I need you to do:
If you see a post with a "mature content" label, and it's 2026, DM me a link to the post.
Yes, that's really it.
I am hoping to collect several thousand such posts, so that I have a decent sized dataset. I do not care what the post is about; if it's labeled as "mature content", I want to add it to my dataset.
If I get 10,000 posts in my dataset before August 31st 2026, I will post my preliminary findings then. I won't feel comfortable calling my findings "settled" before 2027, unless I get over 50,000 posts.
Tumblr Science FAQ, round 1
What's your hypothesis, OP?
I am not talking about that unless I have results to share. That would bias the results.
I did write them down and I did share them with a trusted contact who can prove that I wrote them down the same day I made this post. (While I did so before I made this post, I am not sure they will be able to provide proof of that, because I did so on the same day.)
OP are you interested in...?
Do you have to click through to see the post? Does the clickthrough contain the words "mature content"? Then yes.
OP are you interested if the post is about...?
I am interested in the mature content labels, not the content of the post. Is there a clickthrough that contains the words "mature content"? Then yes.
Tumblr Science FAQ, round 2
Should I reblog this for reach?
Yes, please. I felt really silly when I noticed I forgot to include that in the original post.
Is it okay if I send you my own posts?
Yes, those are perfect for what I'm looking for. I actually need to do some processing on a post to make it useful for testing my hypothesis, and this makes it easy.
Are you looking for "potentially mature content" also, or just "mature content"?
I want both, please. Anything that throws up a blocking screen that you have to click through. The distinctions between them are one of the things I am hoping to study.
Does it matter when the post was made originally?
Technically no. There's no way to respond to this without introducing some bias in the results, and I don't want that. However, I do collect some data on a post as part of making it useful to me, and that data is easier to collect if the post is recent.
What if I request content label review on a post after I send it to you?
I need to see the mature content label to be able to use the post. Because the mature content label hides the content of the post, it is very hard to use a post that no longer has a mature content label. You could send me a screenshot, but people could use that to lie to me.
Basically, it's more work for you to make it usable to me.
OP are you a transphobe? It would ruin the experiment for me if you're a transphobe.
I promise I'm not a transphobe and not doing this for transphobic reasons. You should still double-check that I'm not a transphobe for yourself, though. I am not sure that this study will have the useful effects you're hoping for; I am studying something specific, and it may not be what you hope.

Nach den andauernden Diskussionen um seine Elternschaft mit Hilfe einer Leihmutter in den USA hat Unionsfraktionschef Spahn die Konsequenzen gezogen und seinen Rücktritt erklärt.
Es gibt sie noch ...
... gute Nachrichten
Er mag zwar zurück getreten sein, aber ich unterstelle ihm nicht, dass er das aus Anstand und Verantwortungsbewusstsein getan hat, geschweigeden aus der Einsicht heraus, dass seine Position was Leihmutterschaften anbelangt, hypokritisch ist. Möge ihm und seiner kleinen Familie das Glück widerfahren welches ihm zusteht.

uninstall adobe acrobat. it is malware. it has been malware. these aren't opinions: acrobat meets the definition of malware.
it installs a user-login-time "startup" executable that ignores any windows directives to disable it on startup. doing so only removes the even-more-malicious taskbar-icon-creating advertisement-notification-creating process. no matter what you do, the sleeper "updater" process starts when you log in, and runs perpetually
it sends & receives encrypted network traffic both periodically and non-periodically. both are bad, both are suspicious, and a program doing both is more suspicious than the sum of their parts. and to boot: acrobat will polymorphically edit its code after such network activity
this isn't new: it has always done this. now, it does not even do the thing it is meant to: provide a way to interact with documents, which is amongst the very first features computers were built to provide. you can merely open PDFs and read some of their content in the narrow space between the requests for adobe to give them your money, and interface for features you cannot use (because you don't) or do not, have not, and will not ever need
adobe and microsoft would very much like the user's cultural norms around computers to allow for advertisement built into the local software and even operating system itself. the web being 100% advertisements was not enough! sure enough, acrobat will hijack the windows notifications system thing to give you the 2026 equivalent of pop-ups
i don't really know enough about windows software equivalents, so i'll paypal $20 to the first person that reblogs this with a list of 3-5 PDF reader/editor/etc acrobat equivalents that meet the following criteria:
open source, locally-built executables must match checksum of prebuilt distributed executable
no paid features/premium version/subscription/whatever
not a toy hobby project thing, must be windows-users-proof
cheers
Firefox's built-in PDF.js viewer: does everything you could want from a basic viewer, fast enough search, and can now do annotations for filling in forms and such
KDE Okular: is a decent viewer and can also do basic annotations, and is so not-a-toy that you can even download it on the Windows app store.
LibreOffice Draw: I don't ever really like having to open this but if you have to edit a PDF in detail it does work, and doesn't just vomit up a bunch of polygons when you give it text to work with. Better as an authoring tool than an editor.

If you’re in Eastern Canada or the US Midwest, Northeast, or Midatlantic, we’re dealing with some truly atrocious air quality right now due to the wildfires. It’s important to avoid going outside as much as you can, and to wear a KN95 or better mask when you do go outside. But at levels this high, indoor air quality is affected too. Thankfully, you can make a very simple air filtration machine!
This is a Corsi-Rosenthal box. It’s four AC filters taped to a box fan. You place the fan facing up, and it draws air in through the filters and out through the fan, cleaning the air as it goes through, and it’ll help improve the air quality in your home. You can get the materials on Amazon or at your local Home Depot or Canadian Tire.
This also helps for COVID! So you can use one of these if someone in your house is in COVID quarantine and the other residents are not.
I just ordered mine, and the materials are arriving today and tomorrow! I’ve encouraged my workplace to purchase the materials too.
i just made one last night! They're great. Also the box the fan comes in is enough cardboard for it. All told it was about an hour to put together and $50 of materials. Also if you have a home depot in the area they might do free delivery (my only alternative was walking 45 minutes round trip to the hardware store in the smoke shop that was a lifesaver for me)
Watch out- the hvac filters are one-way so look on the label to see which way the air is supposed to flow through them. In a c-r box the air flows from the outside to the inside through the filters, then up through the fan

You need to understand: using this frivolous amount of ultramarine blue for a landscape that is mostly negative space was… Unthinkable just 100 years earlier.
Synthetic, cheap blue pigment with this kind of lustre and luminosity didn’t exist until the late 1800s.
Van Gogh’s Starry Night would not have been possible without it as he couldn’t afford the natural pigments.
This painting is amazing, not because of the subject matter, but because of the colour.
In this digital age it is easy to forget how accessibility and even lack of certain pigment has shaped art history.
