Is Anyone Else On PillowFort?  I Know I Heard About It From Someone On Tumblr, But Now That I’m Able

ACA open enrollment starts soon!

This is kindof weird.  My likes and pictures from my posts and reblogs were on there, but it removed them pretty quickly when I went through the remove page.  @awfulhorrid discovered that it made browser security add-ons (like Privacy Badger) light up with warnings, and they saw some fishy things when they looked at it more closely.  Bleah.

tumblr mirrors on ‘photosugar’

So idk if others have noticed this before - but it’s the first time I’m seeing this, hence the post.

There’s a website, https://www.photosugar.com, which apparently mirrors all pictures, gifsets etc. people post on their tumblrs (and also other social media sites like twitter and instagram, if I understand it correctly). An eample for a tumblr user, with my name: https://www.photosugar.com/tu/lordhellebore

Now it won‘t turn up anything but a 404 error in my case, because I sent an e-mail to the contact address, which is darius@photosugar.com with the title “My content on your website”:

Hello, it’s come to my attention that you are mirroring all of the posts containing pictures/gifs that I post on my tumblr. I am asking you to stop pulling the content from my tumblr and to delete me from your website. tumblr username is „lordhellebore“ Thank you.

I got a reply consisting of the single word “removed” after just one day, and as you can see, it worked perfectly fine with the informal mail I sent. So if you want them to stop mirroring your tumblr, it seems all you really need to to is this.  

I can’t test the site for all of my mutuals, but I’m tagging a few whom I found on there by random trial & error, and I suggest you look yourself up if you see this post and dislike tumblr mirrors (even if this one is only for pictures, not text).

@janiedean, @ladytp, @vaysh11, @lunavagantt, @einemelodieimwind, @robb-greyjoy, @youbuggingme, @ysilme, @rex-luscus, @bai-xue, @viendiletto, @electricalice, @contessa-de-leusse, @memetic-mutism, @bluecichlid, @mrs-storm-andrews, @ladymothwing, @prismatic-bell, @kittykatknits, @tinkili

….basically, whomever I’m trying at random, it seems that you’re on there.

 Please reblog so others can know and ask for removal if they want to.

From @stopproject2025comic, here's one about what Project 2025 means for libraries. Full alt text at the site.

Purrrr!  Books and dragons --- life is good.

Happy book dragon :)

This is beautiful!  It reminds me a bit of @the-other-sandy‘s neighborhood when we were teenagers.

If you haven’t read Tab’s Minority Monsters comics, I highly recommend them!  I’m about to succumb to the added temptation of the ace succubus charm and buy the print copy for myself.  (I’m pretty sure I can find someone who would like a charm if I win the giveaway, too.)

First come first served, just pick your monster in the drop down menu!

Perfect for hanging on a tree, keeping you company in the cold or being used as a stress ball for difficult family dinners.

Are you kidding?  I’d let my sister slap me if we could split the $1.5 million!  I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t seriously injure me, and we could both do a lot with $750,000.

If you’re in Wisconsin, go to https://myvote.wi.gov/ to find out if you’re registered, make sure you know where to vote, and see the ballot in advance so you can decide who/what you’re voting for before you go to the polls.  Go to https://www.bringitwisconsin.com/ for information about the required ID to vote. Whether you approve of the requirement or not, make sure you have what you need to vote!

You can also request an absentee ballot if you don’t know whether you will have time or spoons to vote on November 6.  “Under Wisconsin law, voters do not need a reason or excuse, such as being out of town on Election Day, to vote absentee.  Any voter who prefers to vote by absentee ballot may request one.” (https://elections.wi.gov/voters/absentee)  Even if Tuesdays are your day off and you want to spend them at home in your pajamas, you can get an absentee ballot and vote!

REPOST @TinySnekComics - you know what’s cool?  VOTING THIS NOVEMBER!!! if you retweet anything today, make it is!!
