I'm still thinking about the guy who saw me realize my wheelchair wouldn't fit in the elevator because he (also a wheelchair user) was already inside it and immediately quipped, "This elevator ain't accessible enough for the both of us."

We need more women in those fake Minecraft args/horror videos. Someone get on that

Really irked when people tell me not to get into the source content a movie is adapting because it’ll “ruin the movie.”

I don’t know man, maybe if a movie is so ass at adapting the source material, to the point you’ll automatically hate the movie if you know anything about the original, that means we need to hold adaptive movies to a higher standard, rather than force audiences to lower their expectations by denying them access to the source content.

“Let people have fun” can coexist alongside genuine in depth critique and analysis, but it should not replace it entirely, y’know?

every time a streamer says gooner it takes years off my life

it's like. people started to realize maybe they shouldn't say shit like degenerate or porn addict and decided they were gonna use a new word to mean the exact same thing but dressed up as a funny meme this time

It’s so frustrating!!

There’s this terribly thin lines games are allowed to walk, especially in regard to their depiction of women, where if they’re not showing off enough skin or wearing enough makeup they’re all ugly and unrealistic and gaming as gone “woke,” but if they show off too much skin or are a little too out there on any capacity, then it’s all gooner bait garbage. Even if the only reason those women are showing off a lot of skin is because they are wearing normal clothing like swimsuits, as in ones that actual real women can wear in real life.

Are these gamers telling us that they think any woman wearing a swimsuit is gooner bait? Are we meant to find something wrong or upsetting about women having bodies? And that they sometimes choose to wear clothes that let you *gasp* see those bodies?

It’s conservatism being repackaged in the gaming sphere once again and it annoys me so much. A game wanting to have sex appeal shouldn’t automatically make it seem like it’s gooner bait (which of course is just the new way to call it degenerate). A game not even going for sex appeal, and just giving women certain clothing like swimsuits shouldn’t be considered gooner bait. It’s bigoted and annoying and I am sick of seeing this bullshit! I hate how it’s affecting the censorship seen in gaming as a whole!

one of the "these can and should coexist" things to me is "there are numerous fat people who eat healthy and exercise and could beat the average skinny person in a hike" and "fat people who are fat and arent athletic and dont eat super healthy and do get winded walking up hills also are apart of fat liberation and deserve love too"

both of these are true and both deserve love and to be able to be accepted and get proper healthcare

wanted to draw him today and it was also conveniently his birthday. my mind (also ur telling me his star sign is gemini.. this is crazy..)

[ckret2]

getting scambot messages from random accounts that clearly used to be normal active blogs is sad enough. you know that there used to be a real person on that blog until they were tricked into handing their password to the digital fae.

but it's an entirely new level of tragic when somebody you've actually spoken to gets turned into a bot account. it's like peeking at a zombie apocalypse through the window and realizing one of the shambling corpses was your friend.

and then the zombie catches sight of you, lurches up to your window, and shouts through the glass that they accidentally reported your account to tumblr and you'll be deactivated unless you click this link.

RIP to the blog that used to DM me to tell me they liked my new chapters. Their last known words spoken before being turned, 17 hours ago: "Ggs!" They were praising someone's deadlift.

[ckret2]

the message they tried to get me with is probably the same message that got them, so for anybody who hasn't already been warned about the signs of a zombie account:

if you get something like this ↑ they're gonna follow up by instructing you to contact tumblr support on discord and give you contact info; or they're gonna link a website that looks sort of like tumblr support and say you have to email them; or any variety of "you must now contact tumblr, here is how you contact tumblr."

whatever they send you, it Does Not lead to tumblr. it leads to the master zombie that bit them and inducted them into the ranks of the undead, and will bite you the second they have your email and password. i might be confusing zombies and vampires. anyway,

it's easier to fall for these messages because the blog doesn't LOOK like a bot blog, because it ISN'T a bot blog. it's a normal person's blog that got accessed by a bot, meaning the blog's content CLEARLY looks like a real active user when you click on it. and yes—it might even be a blog you already know. sometimes bots like this go down a blog's DMs or reblogs and message people they've previously interacted with.

they got one of my treasured followers, and they can get you too. don't fall for their tricks. know the signs.

Tumblr support never asks you for your password except through the normal login page. Ever.

Basically no legitimate tech support service ever will, because it's incredibly unsafe to send passwords in plain text even disregarding the phishing threat. If someone asks for your password, NEVER give it to them. Treat it how you would treat your social security number or credit card details. Only enter it in verified, encrypted (https) pages like official login/auth dialogs with the correct domain name. Human tech support workers should never need plain text access to it.

“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”

A 50-year Trekkie bestows Star Trek history upon the next generation: How fandom and fanfiction sparked the galaxy’s most controversial romance

Beam me up, Grandma

A wonderful piece about fandom history, friendships, and legacies.

Dee called AO3 a “candy store,” and said the fan art she has seen, in particular, has been overwhelming. “I cannot get over the art,” she said. “We would have jumped at this. I would’ve given my right tit for all this art when I was in my twenties. Because you couldn’t reproduce it, you couldn’t send it out, but [now] there’s this fabulous art coming out every single day.”

[skyywalkerfen]

Yes. Yes. Yes.  This is how it happened.  Excellent article.
