Long-overdue blog tidying, new pinned post to follow on from my bio:

Autistic communist of Ukrainian Jewish descent, from London, nonbinary transfem lesbian

No specific theme so mostly just general shit, political shit and special interest stuff (music, various games but mostly strategy & RPGs, Star Wars, martial arts, motorsport)

Here's a directory of my OCs, writing etc. (the link is broken again in-app, for browsers it's libertineangel.tumblr.com/writing)

Here's the Principles of Communism, edited for 21st century clarity

Here's a short, comprehensive guide on how to pirate things online

Here's a very quick simple guide on how to steal audio

I look like this, for the curious

My Discogs profile, mutuals are welcome to ask for any CD rips! Also, my LastFM!

Mutuals can ask for my NSFW sideblog if they want (other followers can shoot your shot too I guess but no guarantees)

My asks & inbox are always open!

“it isnt something you have to read critically” well 😭

[uptownthots]

this technically is true but I think this also perfectly encapsulates why I am inherently distrustful of like. “”cozy”” “turn your brain off” fiction lmfao. like okay WHO gets to turn their brain off and who has to suffer through bigoted caricatures of themselves while everyone else is having cozy silly no brain time 😐

A lot of people are ragging on the 'cable diverted to avoid Dobby's grave after Harry Potter fans raise a stink' thing and while I also love ragging on Harry Potter fans being weird, in this case it looks like the story was completely made up.

tl;dr: There's no evidence the interview that this was mentioned in even exists, no evidence the route of the cable has ever changed, and the whole story seems to originate from one dude's podcast.

The story also broke into mainstream via the Daily Mail, who are ... rarely if ever honest or accurate.

Thermostat on the wall says 27° but it's always distinctly warmer upstairs and even warmer still in my room specifically, I'm probably hitting low 30s already here and it's fucking 6:30AM, how the fuck am I supposed to sleep in these conditions

I am always deeply fascinated by etymology, but just had a fun experience. I was watching Jaadugar (really good btw go watch) and the main character is named Sitara, which means star in Persian. However, the Japanese pronunciation is closer to shi-te-ra, which is identical to how a Japanese speaker would interpret the Latin stella.

And turns out, sitara and stella both derive from the same PIE root, both obviously meaning star, which I wouldn’t have immediately heard if I wasn’t listening to a Japanese person pronounce them. It’s so cool!

Looking through my saved photos for something and hey did I ever show you Crew Juice last summer, I can't remember, like I feel like maybe I shouldn't but I'm sure some of you would appreciate it

The thing about living with parents who work in music is that sometimes you have to try and walk past eleven guitar cases or a giant cardboard bassist to get to the kitchen and that's just normal for a week or two
