From 2/15 until 2/29 if you purchase an e-sim or donate $20 or more to Funds for Gaza or any of the organizations listed under "Donations" here I will draw an inky creature for you!
All you have to do is send an email with a screenshot of your receipt (which must be dated between 2/15 and 2/29) to inkblobcommissions@gmail.com along with a description of the kind of creature you’d like. Feel free to specify what animal or combination of animals you’d like your creature to resemble, as well as any other physical characteristics, or even just to say that you’d like me to surprise you! Colored accents or accessories are also an option. I'll reply with your creature once it's finished.
It probably won't be an issue because of the nature of the subject matter, but just in case I'll note that I will not draw anything NSFW. And unless you request otherwise, I may post finished commissions here.
Thank you so much for all the donations you've made so far! I'm going through the commissions in the order that I've received them so it may take up to a week or two for me to reply with yours, but please do keep them coming!
Additionally, Let's Talk Palestine recently set up Funds for Gaza to help highlight families in urgent need of emergency funds, and I will also accept receipts of donation to any of their GoFundMes (I've edited the original post to include this link as well)
The Final Day!
All commissions submitted by 11:59 EST today will be drawn!

it’s a leap yeap
My nightmare: making a typo that people are still talking about over a century later
Happy leap yeap!
happened few hours ago, the "aid ambush". people in northern Gaza who were outside waiting for aid trucks, were targeted by the Israeli army. 150 person killed immediately and around 1000 injured. check Anas Al-Sharif's page, the Al-Jazeera correspondent for more details.
people died hungry. their hunger was their vulnerability and they were attacked waiting for food. exactly how depraved that army is???
Blaming the victims of an ongoing genocide for their own murders because they were “violent” and “scary”.
We’re supposed to believe that a bunch of heavily armed occupation forces were “scared” of starving civilians trying to access supplies? It’s the same racist bullshit cops pull when they kill unarmed Black and brown people. It’s no coincidence that the IOF and USAmerican cops train together. Racist militarised oppressors all think alike.
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.
im not gonna tell you what to do cuz im not your dad. but the thing about the presidential election is one of these motherfuckers is going to be president either way. withholding a vote out of principle doesn’t do anything but make it more likely for the More bad guy to win. and anything you (justifiably) hate the democrats for doing, the republicans also do! and they often do it more aggressively! and yes of course there is activism you can be doing besides voting every four years. I hope thats obvious. but also, you can make that activism more effective when you don’t have someone in the oval office running on bigoted platforms lol.
amen. the presidential election is not the time to do anything else but damage control. want more change? do local activism and get involved in local and state politics.
Nice photo dated February 27, 2024. Lots of scary storms, including tornados, passed through the area. From the Chicago Sun-Times: "Lightning explodes over the Chicago skyline Tuesday as a severe storm passes through the area." Tyler Pasciak LaRiviere/Sun-Times

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you.
AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.
Here are the important details:
- We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner.
- We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.
- To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.
- For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc.
- Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.
If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.
by the way also, since staff's instructions aren't especially clear it's here in your blog settings (on browser select your blog and then blog settings on the right)
The screen looks like this:
then scroll aaaall the way to the bottom:
This does not apply universally across your account, you need to do this for each of your Tumblr Blogs individually.
