[PLEASE DON'T SEND DONATION LINKS IN ASKS/DMS [DO NOT PING ME ON THEM EITHER]] Heap, she/her, here to reblog stuff and occasionally post art/rants here too - PFP (of my OC) drawn by Jojjo on TH! art/oc blog - @lisdoonvarna

Please do not send me asks for donations

Here's why:

  • I have NO money to give you
  • I'm not a popular enough blog that I will give you any reach
  • I am a minor, and most of my followers are too
  • It makes me feel extremely guilty
  • Seeing pictures of injuries or hospitals etc are triggering for me (which are in most intro posts for this sort of thing)
  • They are always worded in a way that makes me feel like I am a murderer if I don't donate
  • It makes me feel uncomfortable
  • I said I don't want them, and my boundaries should be respected
  • I can't tell what is a bot and what isn't
  • I get a lot of spam from this. It is disappointing to see 10 new asks in my inbox just to be the same ask for donations over and over

Please, just respect the fact that I have said this.

Edit: To all the people reblogging this, I'm sorry you have had to deal with this too. And yes, you can put this in your pinned post! Stay safe <3

Edit 2: I am pro Palestine and want to do everything I can to help but I'm not financially or mentally well enough to do much. I'm not in support of these people dying. Also, this post isn't just about Palestine. It's about ALL asks for donations. I'm not doing favouritism or racism. I just can't deal with it. Don't harass me for expressing boundaries.

can we send up a quick thank you to pdf uploaders, torrent seeders, copy sharers, scanlators, fansubbers, digitizers, paywall dodgers, and various other internet archivers for making niche art and information more accessible in a media landscape where all but the most profitable mainstream are often tossed aside and left to rot

so I added every single language as my preferred language on youtube and it stopped autotranslating the titles and autodubbing the videos with AI voices.

like, setting side moralizing about AI or whatever (since both sides of that debate is filled with people that cannot live in reality about things), the idea that every video needs to be coherent with 0 effort to everyone (so that google can monetize everything to everyone) is the opposite of my philosophy in interacting with another culture. Even if I don't understand it at first, I want it in its original context. I want to be able to experience something and live in the wonder of not knowing, then be able to go back with more knowledge and context and enjoy that, too. Google, in its ideology of instant understanding for the sake of infinite monetization, is taking this part of encountering other cultures and even if it means installing a dozen firefox extensions or going through every single language google offers and clicking them each as my primary language, I'll do it.

no i dont want to ‘ask chatgpt’ i want to go to a wikipedia page and spend half an hour reading an article like a real person

ive seen numerous times people call wikipedia a "collection of autistic pedantry" and like idk man maybe dont stereotype people, im sure a lot of wikipedia editors, myself included are autistic but like its weird to stereotype autistic people like this or act like wanting to help keep information clear and readily available is only something autistic people care about.

also maybe allistic people shouldnt be saying such things, dont make jokes like that it comes across as really weird.
