Happy 7th Anniversary to the Ben 10 Reboot!!!

This series is (unpopular opinion I'm probs gonna get killed for) one of my favorite shows to watch, as well as one of my comfort shows. I've been a fan of it since I was in middle school and am still a fan of it to this day as a sophomore in college. While it does have its flaws, I still have fond memories of it and always will.

Fun Fact/Update: I was originally going to post a post (no pun intended) talking about a B10RB rewrite/au project of mine I'm developing called Ben 10 Reboot Reimagined, but I couldn't finish it in time for the 7th anniversary (which I truly apologize for), but I do plan on posting it sometime this month when I finish it.

My Spring Break Plans: 3/13 - 3/19

Inspired by @gritsandbrits' 9/9 - 9/15 week plans post from 2019

Since I wasn't able to complete most of my plans this past weekend, I figured I'd get to do them this week, especially since I'm off college for spring break. I know I said in the past that I would limit my plans to make things easier for me, but I feel like putting a lot of plans for my spring break as I not only have a lot of fun plans for my spring break, but I also wanna challenge myself to see if I can handle this many plans this time around. Not to mention I did say in a previous week plans post from 3/6 - 3/12 that I would think about tackling some more plans since I have spring break this week. And after some thinking, I decided to give it a try. Only this time, I want to follow through with these plans while also having fun with them at the same time.

Draw my Sparkledog OC

Do some cleaning and tidying up in my room

See Scream 6 in Theaters (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

Continue watching @rainbott's Welcome to Dreamworld series on YouTube + watch their other videos from before that I've been meaning to watch for a long time now

Work on bios for my OCs (ex. my Power Rangers OCs Luna Gwen, Lucy, Frederick, and Eleanora Sayara; AKA The Blazers)

Make a list of my F/Os to put on my F/O Tier List on TIERMAKER after being inspired by @candyheartedchy's f/o tier list post

Do some drawing and writing (including some other OC-related stuff, such as drawing some OCs I've been meaning to draw for awhile now)

Watch the videos I put in my Art & Writing stuff playlist on YouTube for inspiration on both my art and writing + watch some art and writing-related videos & series on YouTube outside of my Art & Writing playlist (ex. PokéTuber Electro Pikachu's What If I Wrote Pokémon Journeys? series, Callimara's Miraculous Ladybug Redesign & Rewrite series, etc)

Do some writing for both my Pokémon Journeys rewrite and my Pokémon OC Marcy Nightingale (both in my Journeys rewrite and in her unova journey backstory)

Continue watching Mindy Kaling's Velma on watchcartoononline.tv and write down ideas for my Velma rewrite & Velma AU involving Me/Advian Heartson in Velma's place along with my OCs as part of the cast called "Advian" (not to sound egotistical or anything, but I'd like to describe these two projects as "Velma but Better")

Continue watching Power Rangers Operation Overdrive on watchcartoononline.tv

Catch up on some favorite shows of mine and watch some new shows I've been meaning to watch for awhile now

Continue to watch Spy x Family and Overlord on Hulu (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

OC-cember Day 3: Marcy Nightingale (Pokémon OC)

Marcy Nightingale is a Pokémon Trainer who comes from Aspertia City in the Unova Region. She loves Pokémon battles, catching Pokémon, and using move combinations. Her dream is to become one of the strongest trainers in the world and someday become the champion of Unova.

Her personality is like JN Iris and Nemona from Scarlet & Violet (minus the stalking aspect), but she's also head strong, a bit short tempered, sassy, but also has some insecurities about her skills.

Her main partner is Snivy and has a wide variety of Pokémon at Professor Juniper's lab.

After doing that other drawing, I had to get this out of my system.

Want to try the Rewrite vs. Canon trend after being inspired by and seeing my friend @gritsandbrits doing it, which will also tie into one of my passion projects: OC What If: The Reimagined Fan-Vision.

urgent!!

congress is debating right now (dec 15, 2022) whether or not to include KOSA in the end of year must pass spending bill. it's another horrible attempt at "protecting the children" that will lead to mass censorship and surveillance. no surprise there.

we have a chance to stop it, because if it passes it will gut the internet as we know it. there's more info about it in this post

please, if you have time, call these members of congress and tell them not to add it to the spending bill. it's urgent.

nancy pelosi (202) 225-4965 maria cantwell (202) 224-3441 chuck schumer (202) 224-6542

there's a call script here:

My name is _, and I strongly urge you to oppose KOSA from being added to the omnibus spending bill. Bills like this should not be included in spending bills. Over 90 human rights and LGBT organizations have spoken out against this bill.

The Heritage Foundation said they will use KOSA to target LGBT kids, specifically trans kids because it gives state attorney generals full power to restrict content they deem "harmful". In a post-Roe world, they will even use KOSA to censor resources on abortion, LGBT resources, and anything they dislike will be targeted. Republicans have called anything trans "grooming" which led to a shooting. We shouldn't give them this power online.

A bill this huge and this impactful should not be added to any spending bill. Even if it was a small bill, it has nothing to do with the omnibus spending bill and shouldn’t be added at ALL. It needs more time being discussed. There should be hearings on it as well

We all care about kids mental health. We all want to hold Big Tech accountable, but this is NOT it. This will give Big Tech more power while taking away resources from the most vulnerable children. It is not the solution.

Please, do NOT support this bill. Do the right thing, and VOTE NO on KOSA.

DO NOT USE TUMBLR LIVE

So I've been warning people to not use the tumblr live feature and i had this discussion in the notes of one of the people i warned

said person already used live themselves and was not aware of what all TumblrLive's partner MEETME collects with its feature and i wanted to take the time to make a post going over the privacy policy for anyone who is interested

for the first part here MEETME talks about how creating an account (downloading) (or having a tumblr account that auto updated to include the tumblr live feature (which is a vast majority of the tumblr mobile population in the US rn)) automatically makes any information they collect visible to any of the partners they have

the three partners mentioned there Skout Flurv and Boy Ahoy are all dating sites that promote primarily their location tracking fuck all knows what they want with your live data most likely they want to advertise singles near you??? but MEETME's other current partners are apps like PlentyfFish Zoosk Chispa and Badoo which is Match.com and Bumble

the main important parts to notice from section ii of the privacy policy is the location information limit mobile ad tracking and do not track signals the rest of the section mainly puts the onus of revealing private information that can be used maliciously on the user ie. don't share your password say your full name in a live video where you live etc.

as far as the location information goes what its saying here is that they collect the location information when you first register for tumblr live when you first log in and whenever your phone is on even if youre not using tumblr live

what does it use this information for??? well advertising purposes of course!!!

now they try to get around saying they dont track your location or share it with other users by using this word precise several times now what that means is they have a rough geotag of your location

(your ip address they dont say here its your ip address but in later parts of the document they do in fact say they collect your ip address and if you want an idea how close an ip address can get to your exact location enter your ip address in google maps sometime)

theyre being intentionally vague about that so when you see on the live tab something that says near you you could probably not follow that exactly to said persons house but you can damn well be you will at the very least find their city

heres a reminder to all of you who havent most phones now bury in the settings an option to disable adID do it now!!! but remember that TumblrLive can still use all other information they gather they do not at all process do not track signals so you arent safe there and what data would that be that they can collect other than your location and adID??? glad you asked!!!

this is a non exhaustive list which means there is DEFINITELY other data they collect about and from you

so they collect:

your email and phone number

any info in your tumblr bio

any metadata connected to any photo youve ever uploaded

adID

ip address

cookies and beacon

which devices you use

which features you use

which pages you visit

which chats you use

anything in your private chats or posts

anything from any connected social media accounts

how well ads are doing

what youre interested in

and in some cases even your biometric information

and what do they do with this information???

ads of course

and to give anything they want to cops :)

i dont make this post in order to like ruin peoples fun when it comes to this new feature or to try to talk down to anyone or make anyone feel stupid or anything im not here to make fun of people or belittle anyone but i think its real fucking important people know what privacy rights they are forfeiting by having their phone on right now with this new feature

also everyone please feel free to give a kind fuck you to tumblrs current ceo @photomatt
