Jimin's actual birthday might be over but ARMY is still celebrating. 22 more donated to #EquityWithJimin in support of women in rural India 😍

13 more hours left in the campaign!

A pink poster with the words #EquityWithJimin OIAA Birthday Campaign at the top, decorated with flowers. In the middle is a wicker basket now filled with seven flowers. On either side of the basket are two white text boxes, one saying 22 new donors and the other 221 total donors. At the bottom of the poster it says "Day 7".

It's day 6 of our birthday fundraiser for Jimin and $6,900 has been raised so far. That's enough to provide 3 months of vocational training for 34 girls 😍

There is still one day left in #EquityWithJimin! It's not too late to donate or share 🥰

A picture of Indian girl dressed in her school uniform, sitting on the steps in front of a run down house. She is holding school supplies in her hangs with a pink backpack beside her on the ground. The bag appears to have been donated by RSKS India. Along the bottom of the image is a yellow box with the text "$200 provides 3 months of vocational training for one girl."

This! There's all kinds of things I don't want to read so I curate my list, review tags, and back out of a fic that is not for me. All of that is my responsibility, not someone else's and definitely not some kind of imposed Rule From Above.

✨ 48 hours until we celebrate Jimin’s birthday with a cause that uplifts lives, spreads kindness, and empowers equity 🌍💜

A poster with a green background, written on it in large text and in a staggered diagonal are the words 48 Hours. The words are decorated with two large flowers. This admin wishes they knew how to identify flowers. One appears to be daisy-like and in a beautiful lilac color. The other is dark pink and isn’t a rose but does have layers to the petals like a rose. They are beautiful.

While I am generally not the target market for any sort of nonconsensual sexual content, there is absolutely no world in which you can trust to the discretion of moderators in judging this sort of thing. It will always end badly, and in a different place from where YOU thought the line was.

Romancelandia: even if you don't read dark romance, the new Bsky guidelines should concern you.

Disallowed: "Illustrated or animated" depictions of nonconsensual adult content.

Why ban fictional depictions of anything? And how will consent be determined from an illustration?

Pretty good actually - I'm happy. Still reading several books a day (mostly online), and ignoring most normal TV shows while I catch up on game and fan-related news/events. I've also managed to avoid doomscrolling so often, now that I'm gaming again 💜

Hello again. This also sucks. Tell them it sucks.
Strange hill to die on, companies refusing to do the only thing they exist to do.
The role of a payment processor is not to dictate what you spend your money on, it is to process the payment. That’s it.

Oh, hey.

Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy".

Let that sink in.

Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

also, his trailing leg stays bent, which adds further unbalance as he follows through to land. (my bad btw - I slowed it down and looked closer. He's actually not landing on his heel like I was - if anything he's staying on his toes & refusing to follow through & land on it properly like the others

Tara @wolfstarblade.bsky.social · Sep 8

almost landing in his first attempt he wasn't able to keep his balance past a few seconds. (I was also like Tae when I was a kid, and had to be 'walked through' when first starting out, reflexes for things like this can be hard to train/untrain once you hit puberty. Or have hyperfocus issues)

foot facing outwards - instead of his toes pointing toward his hand. Tihs means all is weight is landing on the heel of his foot instead of his toes (Jimin) or the middle of his foot (JK). Landing all your weight on one heel usually makes your ankle/foot wobble, which is probably why despite +

He's bending his elbows as he does it, which means he doesnt have enough room for his legs -some kids do this when they first learn, and have to be held with their legs straight up while they are slowly led through a cartwheel to be trained out of the habit. He also tries to land with his leading +

ARMY always have many goals and the priority changes with circumstances. Right now I'm focusing on the 2025 MAMA awards.

Jin has a high chance of winning Best Male Artist, so I'm gonna support this by focus-streaming Happy and Echo (plus DSYLM for that yearly most streamed K-pop song).

I'm so sad - there's no tinytan's left in my city's McDonalds. Apparently they ran out of stock within only 6hrs of the promo starting. They definitely should have had more stock than a few hundred boxes per store, but it certainly sounds like they didnt 😭

IMPORTANT PSA: If you find kittens all alone, keep tbis helpful flowchart in mind. And also:
—neonatal kitten need to be on a heat source & kept warm at all times, they cannot regulate their body temperature and you can kill them by feeding a cold kitten.
—NEVER feed a bottle baby kitten COW’S MILK!

계속해서 지시하는 아미 여러분께 사과드립니다. 대부분의 사람들이 그것이 나쁜 행동이라고 생각한다는 것을 알아주세요.

I apologize for our ARMYs who keep telling you what to do. Please know that most of us think that is bad behavior.
