Have you ever seen a twitter thread (or, in this case, two!) that so perfectly expressed everything you’d felt over months and months of persistent harassment? With all credit to @blackblobyellowcone, who is clearly amazing and completely gets it– not just why us women write and read the erotica that we do, but the history behind the censorship we, as a gender, have experienced. Bravo.
Its the episode where a millionaire New York property developer is President of the US, Canada made weed legal, and the guy running Tesla who wants to send people to Mars got bored one night and started selling flamethrowers
okay but like. Do people not know the difference between reblogging and reposting? This is important because some have asked me if they can reblog my art and I’m like ?? Of course?? and they seem super confused because apparently I told them “they can’t” and that’s probably because they have the two terms mixed up. So let me clarify:
Reblogging?
Reblogging, on tumblr, is pressing the button that looks like this:
When you’ve successfully reblogged something to your blog, the button turns green and leaves a little ✔.
Reblogging is GOOD. Because it always shows the original source which means you’re SHARING!! By reblogging, artists get recognition, some artists make art for a living so by sharing their work with the source you’re doing them a favor. Artists appreciate reblogs!
Reposting?
Reposting on the other hand is BAD. That’s when you download/screenshot a picture and re-upload it to the same or another platform, edited or non-edited. Reposting is bad because it’s STEALING.
Many artists are tired of reposters and some are starting to report people for stealing their art, because they’re Done. It doesn’t matter that you credited, unless you got permission it’s NOT legal to do that and you can get reported!!! If you go even further and steal art to make a profit, you can get sued because you’re using COPYRIGHTED material!!
