Twitter Meltdown - Tumblr Posts

For those of you coming by from Twitter...

Hello! This is David here, glad to see you made it! This is a definite work in progress as I get things set up, but I plan to continue sharing all my art here as often as I do on Twitter.

(Or X, as it's being called now? I just hope that doesn't lead to it becoming an eX-website.)

I'll be gradually filling up this Tumblr with a mix of old things and new things, so stick around!

Since I'm currently working on a few more art pieces that aren't ready to show yet, and am not sure about which of my old traditional pieces I want to share next, let's take a moment to appreciate this little piece:

This is the avatar I used for my secondary account on Twitter, one appropriately called "Deb79ful Switch Video Backup." As you could tell by the name, I used it as a place to dump the videos I recorded while playing on the Nintendo Switch, which I saved a lot of. And often, simply because I often wasn't motivated to post them, they would pile up until the 1,000 video cap, at which point I would just dump a massive backlog of vids all in one sitting. I did eventually catch up to the present day on that account! ...On June 9th, this year, the day before Twitter integration was discontinued for the Switch. Better late than never, I suppose! That account's gonna be a relic now, I suppose, just sitting there for all to witness the mundanities of a guy playing Sky, Pokemon, Tetris, F-Zero, Obakeidoro, Disney Speedstorm for a little while, the works. I'm still recording vids, obviously, though now they're just for my personal benefit. But maybe I'll post some of the new ones to here, instead! (Nah, my cred would plummet instantly if I start doing that /s) But yeah, here you can see how I drew a whole Switch for Ghostie to play, and you can probably see the reptile scale pattern used on my avatar (both this version and my normal version!) a little bit clearer. It's a nice effect, though admittedly one I don't use much for him in his recent digital art. Maybe I should use it more? (...Goodness, can't believe I put down that many words for an old avatar.)

twitter users come in! we're completely fine and sane we promissssssse 😀.

reddit users welcome. the pit is over there have fund.

Well, well, well look who came running back

today in social media...

IMPORTANT PSA TO THOSE NEW TO TUMBLR OR REALLY ANYONE ON THIS SITE IN GENERAL:

IT IS OK TO REBLOG SPAM AND LIKE SOMEONE'S CONTENT ON THEIR BLOG NO ONE HERE IS GOING TO BE WEIRDED OUT, IN FACT IT IS ENCOURAGED THIS IDEA THAT SOCIALIZATION = BAD IS A TOXIC CAPITALISTIC TOOL DESIGNED BY HELLSITES LIKE TWITTER TO LEACH MONEY AND GOODWILL FROM YOUR BODY. I honest to god have no idea why "ratioing" on twitter is bad, like the act of engagement is considered a bad thing as if twitter were trying to encourage your toxic rage. oh wait that is exactly what twitter is doing. Twitter's entire business model is to encourage you to get outraged and to profit off of your rage induced engagement.

TUMBLR. DOES. NOT. HAVE. RATIOS. REBLOGGING IS A GOOD THING HERE. NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR THAT, AND HONESTLY MY MEMORY IS SO CRAP I FORGET Y'ALL RESPOND TO MY STUFF ANYWAYS.

All you need to do is change your profile pic and post something, and congratulations you now have a valid Tumblr citizenship. also to you twitter users: you can't cancel people on tumblr. this is a website full of eccentric weirdos. We are so far away from the mainstream that tumblr struggles to find advertisers for this site. At one point tumblr was very toxic, and the toxic tumblr people would eventually move to twitter during the porn ban. Twitter + the pandemic simply gave the toxic weirdos mainstream power to ruin people's lives. politely fuck off with your toxic crap, no one here is afraid to call you out on your obvious bullshit like on twitter. We don't have anything to hide here and even if we did your impact means NOTHING here. If you try to make tumblr toxic again then you will not be welcomed here by the community. Behave.

Fuck Elon Musk

Aakskdjsjjba

it’s so delicious over there right now

that time Elon felt pissed and slighted because he got moderated for saying something hateful so he went into irreconcilable debt and leveraged his other companies and made a large deal with the Saudis and Putin sympathizers just to buy the one thing in his life that was moderating him and his hateful misogynist and racist and transphobe contemporaries (and not even that thoroughly) so that he could axe moderation and shit whatever thought he wanted on to the Internet only to have to hilariously overcompensate and become a dictator of moderation of things *he* didn’t like to blunt the consequences of his chaotically evil pack-of-m80s executive brainfarts but too late to stop losing more money and employees and summoning the exacting attention of the FTC and the undoubtedly molten ire of massive industries who lost billions of value in a single day, because Elon has never thought through the philosophies, sociology, and ethics of free speech or faced the consequences of his own actions that are about to smash him in the face and moderate him harder than he’s even been moderated before

“To take just one example, consider moderation. Without moderation, platforms become a cesspit of misogyny, racial hatred and antisemitism, without any conceivable benefit for society. Holocaust denial is not free speech — it is hate speech, and at least indirectly incites discrimination or violence. It is, at best, a shallow and uninformed interpretation of free speech to want to abolish moderation.”

— What’s behind Elon’s Twitter disaster? A fundamental misunderstanding of “free speech”

omg

just elon musk stroking his own ego during cross examination and in company wide memos

Elon wants to replace himself as soon as he can find someone.
