Every June this inevitably winds up back on my dash. And I appreciate that. And I will reblog it. Every time.

Hey, it’s @archerinventive, and the Pride Knights!

Longtime readers may be aware of how much I relish an excuse to bully a company, so I'm sharing the wealth;

Clothing company Patagonia is currently suing drag queen Pattie Gonia for "irreparable” harm to their brand.

To be clear; Pattie named herself after the region in South America.

So Pattie is asking people to politely ask Patagonia to drop the lawsuit.

I'm extending the invitation to all of you, because suing a drag queen for 'infringement' in the current political cultural landscape is vile. Especially a drag queen who has raised millions of dollars for non-profits, uses her platform to raise awareness for climate activism, and fully aligns with Patagonia's apparent climate-conscious mission statement.

They're claiming they're suing for $1. They're actually asking her to stop using her name, and pay over $1 million in legal fees. They're straight up harassing her.

In contrast, drag queen Jan Sport has a Jansport bag line. It's that easy to just... work with a queen.

Anyway. Be respectful(ish), but feel free to be annoying on Patagnoia's socials, asking them to 'DROP THE LAWSUIT'

I think they have a twitter and tiktok too!

To me in 2016: if youre still on this website, fuck you but i understand

[itwashotwestayedinthewater]

girl youre not gonna believe this

[orpheuslament]

this recent trend of teenagers using genAI chatbots to talk to fictional characters is fucking grim. what you should be doing is roleplaying on private messages with your friends until the lines between you & the characters begin to blur & you develop some very complex & confusing feelings for each other that culminate in a massive fallout you dont have the tools to process nor understand

I don’t know what is feeding this year’s bloodthirst to murder political leaders, it’s a mystery.

everyone on tumblr rn for some reason

[penny-anna]

A note on this post:

To my recollection, for a long time Ides of March meming on Tumblr was confined to the day itself. You'd log in on the 15th and your dash would be all Julius Caesar memes and be like ohh it's the Ides of March today, ok!

Over time it has expanded & last year was the first time I became aware of substantial pre-gaming. The Ides of March has been a big annual meme on Tumblr for years but it being preceded by 2 full weeks of people getting hyped up is pretty recent.

There's also recently been an element of hmm almost roleplaying to it? Various newer posts circulating with people pretending like they're personally gonna stab Caesar.

Anyway that's what this meme is in reference to!! thank you 👍

#it's so commercialized these days #time was you'd never start celebrating ides of march before MAR/10 (mario day) #now they start playing ides of march carols in february

I think I am officially Fandom Old. I am so worn out from the arguments on who's the top or the bottom (who cares), what is allowed to be written (anything you want, bejeebus), what is Problematic (I know, just tag it), what other people Should Do (they Should live their lives free of judgment). There isn't a Right Way to do things. Tag your stuff appropriately, don't read stuff you don't want to read, and leave other people (me) alone.

How it feels to have curated your space in fandom

[glorious-spoon]

i know we all laugh (mostly fondly) about the paper-thin plots in porn that only exist to make the sex happen, but i was reading some old stargate fic over the weekend, and i really think we're sleeping on the paper-thin hurt/comfort plot that only exists to force the characters to FEEL THINGS.

like, is this scenario realistic? no. does it make any rational sense? no. does it provide a built-in excuse for a character to collapse, bloody and disoriented, into the arms of his beloved/friend/partner? obviously, that's the whole point of this exercise.

i love it. it's my favorite thing in the world.
