why is this post completely broken in every way imaginable

[cecilsrandomeverything]

Broken notes… deactivated account… removed image….

Finally, we have them all.

[spacefinch]

In addition: OP’s name is just… gone. No “[insert username]-deactivated[insert a bunch of numbers]” as is the standard for deactivated blogs.

Just the world “deactivated.” Look upon their post, ye mighty, and despair.

It wandered across mine. I shall help it travel forward.

Oh hey post of Ozymandius, good to see you again standing on your feet in a desert where no one remembers you

Wow… didn’t know this type of post actually existed on here.

Last year JK Rowling personally funded a group called Sex Matters to amend UK law so that trans women *overnight* went from legally women to legally men. This has resulted in mass exclusion of the trans community from numerous organizations, along with ongoing violent assaults on both trans and cis women alike.

With the new Harry Potter series she will be making a reported $20 million per-season renewal + other performance dependent royalties. She has been open across multiple interviews regarding her intentions to use said funds to push forth even more trans targeted legislation in the years to come.

This isn’t a “she gets paid no matter what” situation. The more eyeballs on this show the more money she has to actively harm vulnerable communities. By engaging with it you are directly supporting this and otherwise making a conscious choice to consume HP over doing the literal very least possible to not destroy the lives of trans people across the world.

If my stating the objective facts above upsets you then feel free to unfriend and move along. Your nostalgia-goggles feelings for a tired, problematic franchise mean nothing to me compared to the welfare of my trans friends and loved ones."

If you care more about badly written children's books and imaginary wizards more than you do about real people in the real world do it far the fuck away from me.

Don't try to be in my life.

In fact, you are cordially invited to eat shit and die.

[charmainemaclendon]

I’ve never read any of the HP books (or anything else this horrible excuse for a human being has written), haven’t seen any of the HP movies, avoid buying HP merch & video games, and have absolutely zero interest in watching the new HP TV series.

Paramount can kiss my whole ass with this cancellation. I’m not fucking surprised considering the merger but man what a fucking blow. Starfleet Academy very quickly became one of my favorite series of new trek. Fuck off paramount, and during the 60th celebration too. I’m so mad rn

Nahla Ake swiftly became my favorite captain, right next to Janeway. This whole series was so fucking good

I wanted to see those cadets grow more, become officers, and move to rebuild after the burn. The fucking potential, man.

reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)

Au where Goncharov and Andrey survive everything, grow old together and sit on a street all day somewhere in the south of Europe

[sunflowerinanoldshoe]

This is my favorite Goncharov post so far because:

1. The concept of an ALTERNATE UNIVERSE for a movie that DOESN'T EXIST is sending me into another dimension.

2. Despite appearing nonsensical, we of course are living in a world where the established Canon of Goncharov is that they do not survive everything and grow old together.

3. Of fucking course Tumblr would imagine a movie with two characters with intense homoerotic subtext, kill them violently with their love unfulfilled, and THEN create AU FAN ART WHERE THE LOVE IS FULFILLED.

And all of it fucking slaps I love this so much

[leebrontide]

I will never tire of Goncharov as sincere yet self-aware pantomime of fandom

There's a general strike and protest in Minneapolis tomorrow and it's going to be -45°. Really.

Where is the right-wing protesting a tyrannical government?

[charmainemaclendon]

So why are the states that have sanctuary cities, and the sanctuary cities still paying federal taxes on damn near everything?

Maybe it’s time for a tax withholding strike?

BREAKING: 21-year-old protester, Kaden Rummler, was shot point-blank in the face by ICE. he just spoke about how he’s blind for life and almost died:

“I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.”

What the hell is wrong with these people?

After having watched season two of Discovery more often than I’m willing to admit, I definitely understand why that sort of thing would happen.

Jessie Gender's glowing review of Starfleet Academy

[charmainemaclendon]

I had rather modest expectations for Starfleet Academy, and I was pleasantly surprised that the pilot episode far exceeded expectations.

I’ve already seen 5 characters that I absolutely love, a familiar voice as the Dean of Students put a big smile on my face, the visual effects are top notch, along with the costumes… and I loved it.

ICE agent kills Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, MN January 7, 2026.

[charmainemaclendon]

Don’t believe the gaslighting & smears about Renee Nicole Good that the members of the regime are going to flood us with over the upcoming days.

This was NOT “self defense”… not in the slightest.

This was a cold-blooded murder carried out in broad daylight in front of hundreds of witnesses, who were recording it on their phones.

If ICE can kill people in broad daylight in front of witnesses, who knows what they’re doing to immigrants & US citizens behind closed doors where no one’s watching?

Corporation for Public Broadcasting shutting down

Trump and Republicans in Congress canceled funding for the organization earlier this year as a means of targeting PBS and NPR.

[birdship]

It's also important to note that PBS-funded programs are trying their best to stay afloat despite this! If this news angers you and you have the financial ability to donate, PLEASE throw some money at your local public broadcasting station! If you don't have a local PBS, consider Oregon Public Broadcasting, which has been in continuous operation for over 100 years (first radio, then TV).

[tf2heritageposts]

the corporation for public broadcasting has officially shutdown as of today. please donate to your local pbs

[charmainemaclendon]

The fact that CPB has been forced to shut down is the culmination of a 50 year effort by Republicans to end government funding of public television and radio stations.

PBS & NPR funded programs are doing their best to remain on the air, but PBS News Weekend is the first casualty of the CPB shutdown. Its final broadcast was on the weekend of 12/27-28/25.

So, don’t forget to donate to your local PBS & NPR stations.

remember when they had christopher pike praying in one episode of star trek: strange new world and everyone was up in arms, not because gene roddenberry didn’t want religion in the show (which is a somewhat reasonable complaint, although it leads to a very interesting discussion of alien beliefs and also how religion and science can work together, but moving on), but because “captain pike has never shown any of this before” (and i had a big argument about that anyway, having to do with Struggling With Science And Religion, but that is for a whole other time) and here i am on episode two of captain pike being on discovery and i can already tell this man has a complicated history with religion. do you see how he approached the church and how he interacted, not only with the writings but also the people of that church? bro has the most explicitly Weird relationship with religion i’ve ever seen

[charmainemaclendon]

Seems like everyone has forgotten about “New Eden” (Ep. 2, Season 2 of Discovery, and one of my favorite episodes of that season), and it’s a shame, because we get a glimpse of Christopher Pike’s struggles with religion and science (he might have been an altar boy at some point during his youth), particularly when he talks with Burnham about the church and the people of New Eden.

In “Those Old Scientists” (Ep. 7, Season 2 of SNW, another favorite episode), Pike tells Boimler and Mariner that he had arguments with his father, and although he never specifically said what they argued about, could we surmise that the complicated issue of religious beliefs, and Pike’s choice of a career, may have played a role in some of those arguments they had, especially as Chris got older and started thinking more about his future, what he wanted to becomes and what his career would be?

He definitely had a weird relationship with religion, no doubt about it.

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

Imagine being made to spend 11 days inside a coffin. Imagine being made to spend more than a day inside a box barely two feet large in any direction. Imagine having to curl up, unable to extend any of your extremities, in the claustrophobic conditions of such a box, for more than a cumulative day. You can see pictures Abu Zubaydah drew of himself in the small box. Now imagine this being done to someone you love. I say all this because the following description appears in an Amnesty International report released Friday into the conditions of confinement for migrants at Alligator Alcatraz: The four men interviewed by Amnesty International, as well as Florida-based organizations, told the organization about the ‘box’, described as a 2x2 foot cage-like structure located outside in the yard of “Alligator Alcatraz” where individuals are sent for punishment. Individuals are put in the ‘box’, their hands are shackled and their feet are attached to restraints on the ground. They are unable to sit down or move positions, and are forced to remain there for hours in the heat with hardly any water or protection from the sun, heat and insects. According to a man seeking safety, “People ended up in the ‘box’ just for asking the guards for anything. I saw a guy who was put in it for an entire day.” A "2x2 cage-like structure… [an] extremely small space that prevents sitting, lying or changing position" has dimensions startlingly reminiscent of those the Senate documented in the black sites. The major difference is that in Florida, the Small Box is exposed to the elements and constructed as a barred cage, whereas in Catseye, it was a closed structure inside the larger closed structure of the black site. And in Florida, the box is used as punishment. According to one of the Alligator Alcatraz survivors in the Amnesty report, people were put into the box simply for alerting the guards to someone's need for medication. "They were taken to 'the box' and punished for trying to help me," the person told Amnesty. The CIA also wanted to put insects inside the confinement box, as it happens. Ron DeSantis' people figured out how to do it.
