Tumblr user thereisselfpreservation "I'm seeing warnings about scammers trying to commission artists but the "reference sheet" for their character they want commissioned isn't an image but a .vbs file ("visual basic script"), and will run a script when you open it, probably to yoink your account(s), but I haven't seen this from anyone who's actually clicked it yet. Just be careful and never open a file like that, 'cause people suck." Reply from the same user: "For reference (heh)" Screenshots of messages. Sender: "Okay, I've sent it now." There's a file attachment called "Shork_YCH_MyReference_v1.vbs". The vbs extension is circled. Sender: "If everything is in order, I can send the overpayment." Sender, in reply to the file attachment (again with the vbs extension circled): "How much would the full piece cost?" thereisselfpreservation: "At a glance, the file name checks out. But!! do not open a .vbs file!!!

You should know that the infamous I Love You virus uses the same trick - Always make sure to turn on 'show file extensions' in your windows/browser settings.

dogweapon on tumblr: "the author's barely disguised longing for a kinder world"

Hello 💖 Here is my PayPal to help: www.paypal.com/paypalme/bra...

Too much text to make a post, so I hope the picture is fine. Thank you for reading ! ✨

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

Just a heads up to fellow artists/commissioners out there!

No, the verdict in the ‘social media addiction’ lawsuit was not a win against big tech, it creates a legal precedent for mass surveillance, censorship, the total destruction of the open web.

Keep a Disabled Trans Woman Housed By Lavender Alliance

Hey everyone:

I'm getting kicked out of my home in 5 days but haven't secured housing yet. The price for a hotel is 115 a night. I am desperate to reach my goal so I can prevent homelessness and/or death.

HEY! You want some hope? You gotta actively spread it and make people aware. Payment Processors are using the excuse of their reputation being at risk for denying us our work being financially viable.

I need you to comment on this and spread the word about this.

And because I've seen the comparison: This is not an H.P. Lovecraft situation of "separate the art from the artist."

Lovecraft is a century dead. He's not alive right now, trying to suppress records of his yacht visiting Epstein Island and swearing to make the lives of millions of ppl unlivable.

Bluesky post by mattie lubchansky @mattielubchansky.com‬ "i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!"

Harry Potter money directly harms trans people.

JK Rowling openly uses her profits to fund anti-trans groups. These groups are so successful in stripping trans people's rights largely due to being so well funded.

There is a direct line from money spent on Harry Potter to trans people being harmed.

PLEASE contact your representativesvand explain to them how awful these bills are.

-No to KOSA, KIDS Act, and other censorship bills
-No to sec 2.0 repeal/reform
-No to pro-AI legislation
-No to online ID/Age verification

also, my understanding is that the US senate will be voting on the SAVE ACT/ SAVE AMERICA ACT

-TOMORROW- (saturday the 20th)

so PLEASE call and yell at your reps about that one specifically literally right now

Simple information about what the SAVE Act would actually do to American voters. Tens of millions would lose their right to vote unless they spend lots of $$$ and jump through bureaucratic hoops before November.

Please call your Reps and tell them to vote NO on the SAVE ACT, HR 22/S 128. Five Calls has a good script: 5calls.org/issue/save-a...

Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction.

Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

GIRLS AS YOUNG AS 13

ICE ARE PEDOPHILES

FUCKING ABOLISH AND PROSECUTE

Hey folks im still in pretty serious need (im pretty heavily overdrafted) and I still have more bills coming before my next payday, so I could seriously use some help. I know I haven't done much to earn it ive been really reclusive lately. Im sorry.

The trans NB employee fired by Chili's for being trans worked at their Rosemont, IL location. For all the furries out there, this is across I-90 from MFF

Y'all might want to avoid Chili's & Maggiano's, especially when MFF rolls around later in the year. I'm sure there's better places to eat out at

Imagine touting yourself as a platform that's less restrictive to NSFW artists
And then in only like a year or two, becoming MORE restrictive than most platforms
This is so stupid. Good job SubStar.

Kinda weird that the US elite is full of child molesters flying to pedophile island but if a poor artist ages Sailor Moon up to 18 to sell porn to anime fans she gets obliterated from the internet

The new Prohibited Content changes on SubscribeStar are intense. I will unpack all the new additions. The section was changed today (March 10th, 2026) and impacts adult content of canonically underage characters, feral content, incest, and noncon content

Bear with me as this may take a moment

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking.

I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

fukouna shoujo machine with collective shout, visa, mastercard, shareholders, and "anyone that votes affirmative on the KIDS act" in it. the machine comes from a snuff animation that is, to me anyway, very unpleasant to behold so I would not recommend looking it up.

I'm gonna go take a shower can you keep an eye on this for me and make sure it finishes running.
