Deviation Actions
I do not use tumblr much. I have one, but I haven't done a damn thing with it in a few years. Mostly I lurk, if even that.
That said, this is the first I've heard of the attacks against certain tumblr users.
From what I've been gathering, an anonymous user (or group of anons) have been harassing vulnerable members of the Supernatural fandom, sending them extremely nasty messages and basically pushing them so far to the edge that one user has already been confirmed a victim of suicide. Another is (or was) missing. Others are not responding to asks or messages, and are possibly in some sort of danger. Some have been admitted to hospitals due to suicide attempts.
This is completely fucking batshit insane. And so very, very wrong.
I do not know any of the users affected, but I can about guarantee they most likely did not deserve to be treated like shit just for liking Supernatural.
Look, whether or not you like a fandom — doesn't matter if it's Supernatural, Sherlock, Doctor Who, MLP, or whatever — or not, it does not give you the right to attack the people who do. It does NOT give you the right to fuck with someone so badly that you push them to the edge of suicide and happily give them that shove over. That, in my book, makes you a fucking murderer and you deserve every fucking bad thing that EVER comes your way. If you do this, you're not a human being. You're nothing more than a fucking monster that deserves to get put down.
Edit: it seems as if the first reported suicide is false. She has posted on her tumblr that she is alive and well, and that the post from a "friend" of hers announcing her death was from someone who hijacked her account. Now whether or not that is true remains to be seen. There are still others out there, however, that might still be in danger of harming or killing themselves, so there is still much to be worried about.

On the topic of Art Theft
So, apparently dA has decided to FINALLY address the issue of art theft.
I have been on this godforsaken website for eleven years — eleven! — and this is the first time that I can recall that they've bothered to say anything about it.
Great, right?
Yeah, not so much.
Basically, from how the entire post reads, they're deciding that art theft doesn't exist on the internet because theft implies the taking of a physical object. Digital art, etc. is not physical, and therefore cannot be stolen. They also say that copying in most forms is perfectly fine.
You know, I've considered posting my (admittedly very amateur) photographs to
God I fucking hate Facebook.
So, last week, Facebook automatically logged me out. Upon trying to log back in, I get a notification saying that they needed to confirm my identity.
For those that are unaware, Facebook has started doling out these messages to people suspected of being fake. This has caused a LOT of grief in that trans folks, drag queens, and even Native Americans were forced to change their names, as FB claimed their name isn't real enough.
I thought I'd managed to escape it. Nope. So they said if I needed to, I could wait a week to confirm or update. I chose to wait so I could make sure I had plenty of ID ready to send them.
Here's the thing that bother
Jumping spider babies
Last month, I caught myself a jumping spider who was heavily gravid and not moving too well. I decided to keep her and care for her, and set up this little tank my sister had for her daughter's neon tetras. I named her Tachikoma, after the tanks in Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex, who were, themselves, modeled after jumping spiders.
Within a day or two of having moved in, she laid her clutch of eggs and began to stand watch over them. I had done a fair bit of research on the care and keeping of jumping spiders, so I'd read that the mothers will often die because they may not ever leave their egg sac. I didn't want her to die —
The Fox Familiar
Guys, I don't know how many of you even read my journals anymore, but I have come across something completely disheartening and disgusting.
A user by the name "The Fox Familiar" on Fanfiction.net is easily one of the biggest assholes I've ever come across.
To put simply, she utilizes over 39,000 words to spew her hateful vitriol all over her bio to get her point across: if she sees you posting ANYTHING she does not like (slash, porn, whatever), she WILL attack you.
I'm not kidding. She's homophobic, anti-feminist, anti-liberal, and so on. She thinks you're a sick fuck for liking yaoi or slash, thinks you're nothing but a fat bitch who need
