this is so nostalgic. tumblr rolls out something terrible. everyone complains. it breaks several people’s dashboards. for some reason it only rolls out to a few people at a time with seemingly no warning. the community collectively and immediately searches for a browser extension that undoes the change. i know we’ve all gotten burnt out on all social media sucking but this is genuinely The tumblr experience. everyone who hasn’t gotten it already gets an achievement. welcome to the club

Wild how the queer community has been fighting tooth and nail for generations to have some semblance of inclusion and just the desire to not be beaten, arrested, or killed for existing.
Then there is less than 10 years of policies put in place to help us start being treated more humanely and the Conservative party is like “Actually we rather you die again” openly and proudly.
Wild how allowing ppl to live has made them so angry and more open about their fascism.
Meanwhile half of the younger queers online are too preoccupied with terminology and gatekeeping fandom engagement while our country actively works to eradicate the community honing social media to propagate propaganda.
It is going to sound mean and im not gonna sugarcoat it:
Telling other lgbtqia members that using the term “queer” is problematic and bad is more aligned with conservative’s views of hiding and destroying queerness. When you get that gatekeeping towards your own community you are making it easier to break us apart.
They aren’t going to stop with “don’t say gay”, they aren’t going to stop with “no trans healthcare”, they aren’t going to stop with bathrooms or sports teams or “parental rights”. They want to revoke your marriage, they want to take away your kids, they want to fire you for being gay, they want to arrest you for being GNC, they want to re-educate you for being ace, they want you poor, homeless, despairing and dead–and they want all that as an example to the next generation of queer people, so they stay closeted and paranoid.
And if they get everything on that wish list, they’ll come for more. You’re not safe as a rich white gay man; you’re not safe as a middle-class femme lesbian; you’re not safe as a “passing” transperson with all your paperwork legally sealed. Stand with the entire queer community or sooner or later you’ll be on the right’s chopping block.
Being openly not-straight, of any variety, was punishable as a CRIME in much of the US until 20 years ago. Lawrence v Texas was in 2003.
We’ve had 20 years of safety - based on a SCOTUS ruling based, in large part, on Roe v Wade.
Which, y'know, they overthrew recently, just before it could reach its 50 year mark. And in doing so, Alito mentioned that Lawrence and Griswold were both potential future targets.
Griswold v Connecticut is the 1965 case giving married people the right to access to birth control. They want to overturn that, too.
The conservative & alt-right movements are thrilled to see so much infighting among leftists and the queer communities; it’ll make it so much easier for them to drive in the wedges they’ll use to go after all of us.

do the studios realize that the current state of streaming residuals absolutely destroys the moral case against piracy
like the moral case against piracy is “people deserve to get paid for their work” except it turns out the people getting paid aren’t the people who did the work

so what exactly was the point of tumblr labs if they were just going to drop new design layouts on a completely random sample of users?
not even going to test it with the people who have specifically singled themselves out as interested in experimental changes? i feel like that would be a good first step to test the waters rather than pushing it straight to prod

This includes not only trimming trees that were providing shade to picketers, but tearing up the sidewalk on the picket line, forcing picketers to walk in the streets, which resulted in two picketers being struck by cars.

So Universal Pictures may have just intentionally over-pruned all of the city owned trees in front of their LA corporate office in an effort to fuck with the WGA/SAG-AFTRA picketers during what is predicted to be the hottest week of the year so far:
And the LA City Controller is looking into it:
Once again it looks like it’s time for:
They did it without permit. They are fucked lmaooooo
