Various Covers Of 花椿 (Hanatsubaki) Ca. 1968-70

Made a wreath for my door in class today

Please be aware that the "opt-out" choice is just a way to try to appease people. But Tumblr has not been transparent about when has data been sold and shared with AI companies, and there are sources that confirm that data has already been shared before the toggle was even provided to users.

Also, it seems to include data they should not have been able to give under any circumstance, including that of deactivated blogs, private messages and conversations, stuff from private blogs, and so on.

Do not believe that "AI companies will honor the "opt-out request retroactively". Once they've got their hands on your data (and they have), they won't be "honoring" an opt-out option retroactively. There is no way to confirm or deny what data do they have: The fact they are completely opaque on what do they currently "own" and have, means that they can do whatever they want with it. How can you prove they have your data if they don't give everyone free access to see what they've stolen already?

So, yeah, opt out of data sharing, but be aware that this isn't stopping anyone from taking your data. They already have been taking it, before you were given that option. Go and go to Tumblr's Suppport and leave your Feedback on this (politely, but firmly- not everyone in the company is responsible for this.)

Finally: Opt out is not good under any circumstance. Deactivated people can't opt out. People who have lost their passwords can't opt out. People who can't access internet or computers can't opt out. People who had their content reposted can't opt out. Dead people can't opt out. When DeviantArt released their AI image generator, saying that it wasn't trained on people who didn't consent to it, it was proven it could easily replicate the styles of people who had passed away, as seen here. So, yeah. AI companies cannot be trusted to have any sort of respect for people's data and content, because this entire thing is just a data laundering scheme.

Please do reblog for awareness.

Today is a good day because I found my Venus McFlytrap doll and she’s wearing my Apple White Legacy day dress

The disgusting comments that i’ve seen about g3 Draculaura, Iris and Catty (who mind you, is still a prototype) are so wild because how are you gonna be fatphobic to characters in a franchise that’s all about accepting yourself and others, regardless of looks?????

Hope yall weren't planning on buying Bratz dolls as a Christmas present this year cuz the CEO is a die-hard Israel supporter and against a ceasefire.

Please note that LOL Surpise and Rainbow High dolls aren't safe either. They're made by the same company.

Listening to literally any EPIC song is a completely different experience now that Thunder Bringer is out

I started writing my first fanfic!

Great, now I need a ghost waltz sculpture for my yard

I’m all scratched up and I can still taste spray paint in my mouth and my husband almost fell out of a tree BUT THE GHOST SCULPTURES ARE FINISHED!

They’re finally finished and I’m so happy with them!!

Some progress shots:

This doll reminds of Cedar Wood from Eah

calypso when a sopping wet half dead 45 year old man washed up on her shores. For some fucking reason
