Here There Be Unicorns

I kind of like how this looks like it was drawn on gray stone and decided to leave this one uncoloured.

this blog was created very recently and only reblogged 20 or so posts before making a donation post. these kinds of scams are getting smarter, with bios that mimic an actual tumbler user. their blog is just a bunch of posts straight from #horror and adjacent tags, they havent reblogged anything from anyone they follow (because they dont follow anyone, theyre a scam blog) they have dash-only mode turned on for their blog, because it prevents you from opening their archive and seeing they only started posting last week

if someone is asking you to reblog their donation post, pull up their archive. like this:

(paste their url here).tumblr.com/archive

Because of the work I do with Radio Free Monday I tend to give strong benefit of the doubt to fundraisers, especially since scammers won’t often bother to fill out the form so usually the bulk of entries are genuine. But even so I have noticed a jump in scam posts I’ve had to filter out and also scam asks I’ve had to ignore. 

but it's an entirely new level of tragic when somebody you've actually spoken to gets turned into a bot account. it's like peeking at a zombie apocalypse through the window and realizing one of the shambling corpses was your friend.

and then the zombie catches sight of you, lurches up to your window, and shouts through the glass that they accidentally reported your account to tumblr and you'll be deactivated unless you click this link.

if you get something like this ↑ they're gonna follow up by instructing you to contact tumblr support on discord and give you contact info; or they're gonna link a website that looks sort of like tumblr support and say you have to email them; or any variety of "you must now contact tumblr, here is how you contact tumblr."

whatever they send you, it Does Not lead to tumblr. it leads to the master zombie that bit them and inducted them into the ranks of the undead, and will bite you the second they have your email and password. i might be confusing zombies and vampires. anyway,

it's easier to fall for these messages because the blog doesn't LOOK like a bot blog, because it ISN'T a bot blog. it's a normal person's blog that got accessed by a bot, meaning the blog's content CLEARLY looks like a real active user when you click on it. and yes—it might even be a blog you already know. sometimes bots like this go down a blog's DMs or reblogs and message people they've previously interacted with.

K's summer class is in-person one day a week, so she goes back there the night before and stays over with a school friend who has an apartment. To sweeten the deal, she takes them flowers or produce every week. This week's bouquet was picked from along the roadside between here and Home Farm, plus pink spirea and dark smokebush foliage from shrubs at the farm. Just lovely!

Motivated by @lotrart 's support to my older works of them, I just made something new.
