Have you read last Sunday’s chapter 15 yet? It is painful. And the second-to-the-last one. It’s said that the next chapter might be up late (but frankly, I don’t really care? Just… I need time to prepare, emotionally speaking).
[Based on the fic by idiopathicsmile]
i love the intensity of enjolras’s glare, it comes off so clearly here!
also grantaire’s arm waving in the air like PLEASE GIVE ME DETENTION, ONE DETENTION PLEASE
:D
I’m actually going to cry, because this exchange made it into the podcast adaptation of World Ain’t Ready.
When I was younger I used to be part of the “only-reads-complete-fics crowd” but as I’m getting older I’m realizing how powerful it can be to have consistent things to look forward to…
All the ppl in the tags laughing abt how fic updates aren’t consistent are cowards. I aim to be subbed to at least 365 fics. One for each day of the year. And that’s just my starting point. Your inbox? Empty. Barren. Fallow. Mine? Bountiful. Overflowing. A cornucopia of ripe treats awaiting my tender consumption. I wade through honey-rich excess while you starve of your own volition.
Advertising peaked at the Discovery channel “Boom de Yada” commercials
Absolutely classic
give yourself a gift and rewatch it :)
every now and then i want to bring this back, its just so pure of a sentiment as well as a mission statement about why educational programing is awesome i love the whole world and being part of it
There’s an update!
They have nine beverages between the two of them
i have that painting ai app on my phone so i went ahead and took the liberty…
What they have are five beverages and four waters. Water, by definition, cannot be a beverage.
The fuck do you mean water cant be a beverage?
The way this post progressed is the reason I come on Tumblr
Don’t download Tiktok.

From the linked Reddit thread:
So I can personally weigh in on this. I reverse-engineered the app, and feel confident in stating that I have a very strong understanding for how the app operates (or at least operated as of a few months ago).
TikTok is a data collection service that is thinly-veiled as a social network. If there is an API to get information on you, your contacts, or your device… well, they’re using it.
Phone hardware (cpu type, number of course, hardware ids, screen dimensions, dpi, memory usage, disk space, etc)
Other apps you have installed (I’ve even seen some I’ve deleted show up in their analytics payload - maybe using as cached value?)
Everything network-related (ip, local ip, router mac, your mac, wifi access point name)
Whether or not you’re rooted/jailbroken
Some variants of the app had GPS pinging enabled at the time, roughly once every 30 seconds - this is enabled by default if you ever location-tag a post IIRC
They set up a local proxy server on your device for “transcoding media”, but that can be abused very easily as it has zero authentication
The scariest part of all of this is that much of the logging they’re doing is remotely configurable, and unless you reverse every single one of their native libraries (have fun reading all of that assembly, assuming you can get past their customized fork of OLLVM!!!) and manually inspect every single obfuscated function. They have several different protections in place to prevent you from reversing or debugging the app as well. App behavior changes slightly if they know you’re trying to figure out what they’re doing. There’s also a few snippets of code on the Android version that allows for the downloading of a remote zip file, unzipping it, and executing said binary. There is zero reason a mobile app would need this functionality legitimately.
On top of all of the above, they weren’t even using HTTPS for the longest time. They leaked users’ email addresses in their HTTP REST API, as well as their secondary emails used for password resets. Don’t forget about users’ real names and birthdays, too. It was allllll publicly viewable a few months ago if you MITM’d the application.
They provide users with a taste of “virality” to entice them to stay on the platform. Your first TikTok post will likely garner quite a bit of likes, regardless of how good it is.. assuming you get past the initial moderation queue if thats still a thing. Most users end up chasing the dragon. Oh, there’s also a ton of creepy old men who have direct access to children on the app, and I’ve personally seen (and reported) some really suspect stuff. 40-50 year old men getting 8-10 year old girls to do “duets” with them with sexually suggestive songs. Those videos are posted publicly. TikTok has direct messaging functionality.
Here’s the thing though.. they don’t want you to know how much information they’re collecting on you, and the security implications of all of that data in one place, en masse, are fucking huge. They encrypt all of the analytics requests with an algorithm that changes with every update (at the very least the keys change) just so you can’t see what they’re doing. They also made it so you cannot use the app at all if you block communication to their analytics host off at the DNS-level.
For what it’s worth I’ve reversed the Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter apps. They don’t collect anywhere near the same amount of data that TikTok does, and they sure as hell aren’t outright trying to hide exactly whats being sent like TikTok is. It’s like comparing a cup of water to the ocean - they just don’t compare.
tl;dr; I’m a nerd who figures out how apps work for a job. Calling it an advertising platform is an understatement. TikTok is essentially malware that is targeting children. Don’t use TikTok. Don’t let your friends and family use it.
I’d heard a bit about this, but that’s worse than I imagined it could be.
Viewing TikTok-hosted videos in a browser or another app (such as Tumblr or Twitter’s mobile apps) will probably do nothing to your computer, it’ll just make some numbers go up at TikTok HQ, but installing the TikTok app is a Bad Idea.
Happy Pride!
look. i don’t think my stretch marks are beautiful. i don’t think they’re tiger stripes or natural tattooos. i don’t think my acne is beautiful. i don’t think the bags under my eyes are beautiful. i just think they’re human. and i don’t think i have to be beautiful all of the time in order to be accepted and loved and sucessful. i don’t think every small detail of my outer appearence needs to be translated into prettiness.
fun fact: this POV is actually called “body neutrality” and it’s SO MUCH more accessible/realistic for a lot of people. it’s based on the idea that the way we look is the least interesting/important thing about who we are, and that our bodies are worthy of respect regardless if they fit the mold of the current beauty ideals.
fireworksgate is fucking real yall i was walking by some residential street earlier today and a car driving by threw a bigass firecracker out their window at a house with three kids playing in the front yard and their mom. cops pulled up SUSPICIOUSLY fast (like literally 10 seconds later fast), rolled down their window, listened to the mom, basically said “wow that sucks, good luck”, and drove off without getting out
i think cops nationwide are setting off random fireworks to keep people awake + on edge + accustomed to sudden explosions tbh. here’s a pretty good article on it (specific to NYC)
There were 6,385 fireworks-related 311 complaints from June 1st to June 19th.
this shit is 230% real, ive heard so many stories of it and weird shit with fireworks suddenly appearing that I really can only see it as some kind of retaliation motivated psyop. pro pyrotechnics companies had all these events cancelled because of COVID, are not asking many questions when they can get rid of everything and cut losses, and meanwhile you have the NYPD whose budget makes $20,000 of fireworks a night nothing at all in practical terms.
Can you imagine how good of a husband Ron Weasley would be? How good of a father? I’m just imagining Ron and Hermione’s marriage and how powerful and amazing it would be.
I spent quarantine reading the books for the first time since age 10, and one of my favorite discoveries was how completely and staunchly loyal and protective Ron is, especially when it comes to Hermione. Even when they are mad at each other, he is unending in his efforts to protect her and often makes efforts to take burdens off of her shoulders (i.e. taking over the research work for Buckbeak’s appeal when she is overwhelmed by homework in POA). He is her fiercest and staunchest defender almost from day 1, putting his own safety and happiness on the line to keep her safe without hesitation (i.e. swearing that he’ll claim her as his cousin and teach her his family tree so that she is not put on the Muggleborn Registry; literally begging Bellatrix to torture him instead of her.)
And I’m imagining this translating to their post-war life and their marriage. Hermione coming home from a long day at the ministry and exhausted and Ron already having dinner made and all of the kids bathed. Ron making her lunch to take to the office on days she’s dreading and including little love notes; making her tea and making her comfortable and just being with her on nights when she is stuck doing paperwork. Being completely overprotective when she’s pregnant.
(This DEFINITELY includes the fact that Ron leaves his job as an Auror to run the joke shop with George and you CANNOT convince me that that had nothing to do with he and Hermione starting a family)
And then there’s Hermione, who keeps Ron grounded, who stops him from getting so protective that he gets himself in trouble. We see this multiple times throughout the series, where she has to hold him back from attacking Malfoy in her defense. And I see this translating perfectly over to their marriage as well.
Having to stop him from going too far/getting himself arrested when Rose is being bullied (but also finding the more discreet ways to help him give those kids hell.) Coming home after yet another long day at the office and finding that Ron’s had just as long a day, and that the kids are running around the house screaming, and he sees her and laments that he hasn’t made dinner yet and she just kisses him on the head and goes out to get a pizza (do Wizards do take out? Whatever they do now.)
In general, the two of them understand each other better than anyone else (like in Goblet of Fire when Hermione is able to explain to Harry exactly why Ron is angry.) They always turn to each other for comfort and protect each other undyingly, so of course this would translate into their marriage.
In my mind, Ron and Hermione’s marriage is one built on mutual love, respect, friendship and trust, because they had so many shortcomings before that they worked so long and hard to grow from. It’s sharing all of their responsibilities and burdens so that neither one of them is overwhelmed. Its promising to always be completely honest with one another, no matter what. It’s playful bickering that evolves into laughing and kissing, and actual arguments that evolve into holding each other close and whispering I’m sorry.
It’s nights spent cuddling on the couch, Hermione laying her head in Ron’s lap and reading and him just watching her and thinking about how lucky he feels. It’s waking up in the middle of the night and holding each other to help each other through the nightmares. It’s building a happy home, full of learning and joking and reading and Quidditch-playing, a place where happiness overflows and their children always know, more than anything, that they are loved, and that they have someone behind them.
Every piece of evidence in these books about Ron and Hermione’s friendship and eventual romance suggests that they would have nothing less than the epitome of a healthy marriage based on love and trust and J.K. Rowling can fight me on that any day.
Anyone have the gif’s of the Chilean goalkeeper Christiane Endler lifting two of her teammates with ease.
I need them for um reasons lol
Let’s take a look at it one more time
Just so we’re clear about what an absolute unit this woman is
Update: She can actually hold up three team mates.
reasons I’ve seen people staying on tumblr:
don’t understand twitter
don’t understand twitter
posts are in chronological order
spite
no other website has the same ambiance of gothic confusion and unrelatable obtuse content
they are a hapless pornbot who knows not of the end coming for their quivering female presenting nipples
mega spite
like normal spite but you’re posting dick pics before The End
Direct Contact with the Memes
god, wht the fuk even is twitter
they tried to leave but woke up again on tumblr like it’s the Groundhog’s Day movie
More reasons:
tumblr allows us to post in any format medium we choose (image, long text post, sound, or video)
shitposting just isn’t the fking same anywhere else
like some sort of ancient slumbering giant this is where we have laid for many a century and Will Not Get Up Again (aka can’t be bothered)
This is the only godforsaken place I can have an open online presence where my fucking family haven’t managed to find me so you can pry it from my cold, dead, nippleless hands
my tumblr dashboard is like a glass-bottom boat. I’ve curated it to the point that most of the time it’s smooth sailing, I see cool fish sometimes. And then sometimes, hundreds of meters down, I catch a tip of the fin of something really fucking weird, and then it’s gone again. Can’t get such a uniquely haunting experience like that anywhere else.
none of the ads are relevent and it’s beautiful
Mass incarceration has always been a tool for white supremacy and maintaining political control.
Same thing for anyone still fighting against decriminalizing marijuana.
It’s the same group people who are pushing these laws.
Prison gerrymandering has always about systemic structural racism.
“can i ask you something?” my immediate reply says “go for it" but my mind has already gone through the seven stages of grief
The names of those killed by racism and police brutality are written along Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis, where #GeorgeFloyd was suffocated by police.

Remember that movie in which Jack Black was a teacher and building a rock band and when a little black chubby girl asked to be a singer he only said “sure! let me hear you” and the moment she started using her beautiful voice his lit up like all of his dreams came true, PLUS the same little girl was scared that people would make fun of her because she was fat and he started listing awesome singers with some weight on and included himself and told her that people wouldn’t laugh because she is awesome at what she does and that is all that matters PLUS that it’s ok to enjoy food?
Also, when a little boy asked to be the band’s stylist he just said “sure, go ahead fancy pants” like, there wasn’t a single second of questioning it, he went into “ok, that will be your position then” right away
That fucking movie is an hour and a half of Jack Black teaching kids to love themselves disregarding all of the stereotypes
And don’t forget the Asian guy said he shouldn’t be in the band because he thought he wasn’t “cool enough”. Jack Black didn’t miss a beat by making up a secret handshake between he and the kid.and telling him he’s amazing at what he does playing the piano. After that the Asian kid even stood up for himself against a bully.
And he put the violent kid with anger issues on drums and let him constructively work out his aggression.
School of Rock is fab basically
School of Rock was and still is iconic
And Jack Black says it’s the thing he’s most proud of making 🥺
seriously the fucking best
