Yo, it's Radley (he/him, 23). Australian. Usually I reblog whatever I'm interested in. Any art I post can be found under the 'radsart' tag.
I'm also on Twitter under the same name.
some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
I couldn’t remember the word “doorknob” ten minutes ago.
ok but the onelook thesaurus will save your life, i literally could not live without this website
So like I understand the need to free up usernames that were taken and then never used again, but what about accounts of people who died ?
Its unclear if the criteria for an inactive account’s deletion is both “No log in for years AND zero tweets made by the account as a whole,aka empty accounts”
It could very well be “No login for years and zero tweets made during this inactivity”
Which would sucks cuz theres a lot of cool stuff made from accounts who are inactive, and again, all that some families have left from their deceased loved ones is an inactive twitter account.
Back in 2019,this concern was brought up, and Twitter said they wouldnt delete accounts to free up names without making it possible to memorialize accounts of a deceased person first.
Now, Under Elon, i dont know if it will be made.
So if you know an inactive account you really loved.. make sure to save its tweets into the wayback machine, take screenshots, etc.
Just in case.
Also they dont even specify how many years. We’re left in total darkness regarding questions we have.
Also im encouraging you to please REBLOG as to further warn people.
hot(?) take but i don’t think we give yuri on ice enough credit for making a believable and powerful relationship between 2 men the Real focus of its story despite never really being marketed as anything other than a sports anime. like however you wanna interpret the “canon-ness” of the gay stuff it was a really wonderful surprise back when it first aired, and i think it deserves the insane hype it had for that reason
sorry i’m back on my bullshit but like no exaggeration you just had to BE THERE. in the dark year of 2016. on the 2016 internet. walking blindly into something about figure skating with interesting animation. only to get blasted out of NOWHERE with this surprisingly mature story about a male athlete struggling with severe depression + anxiety, following his journey towards a career he could finally be proud of and a Much better state of mind, which was only possible due to a miraculous encounter with his idol who’d soon grow to become the most important person in his life and vice-versa.
it was and imo still is groundbreaking, but ESPECIALLY for its time of release. no one had seen something like this in anime before and no one could’ve predicted it
