Just a tiny man and his really hot wife
Objectively
the best
of the
Star Trek
movies.
The best bit of the “nuclear wessels” scene, is that Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig literally went out and asked passerby. Not extras; genuine strangers on the street.
I want to emphasize: in 1986, during the Cold War, they had a man with a Russian accent thick enough to walk on wander the streets asking random people about nuclear technology. I’m amazed that people were (vaguely) helpful.
hey tumblr, if we could not sponsor articles defending a rapist that would be ideal
like in what fucking world is this something that should be on my dash
ID: A screenshot of an ad sponsored by "neilgaiman-fan", reading: "Yes, I am still a Neil Gaiman fan.
I've been a Neil Gaiman fan since the early 1990s. With that being said, I want to make it clear that he's not my favorite author. That"
The rest is cropped off.
End ID.
IF ANYONE SUPPORTS NEIL GAIMAN/DISCREDITS SEXUAL ASSAULT VICTIMS, UNFOLLOW ME. I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU!
This post genuinely altered the trajectory of my life and how i make a lot of my decisions and i think about it so much
The whole self love thing is good and all but some people can’t fathom being loved. They can’t imagine there being anything good about them. So they can’t simply just stop doing unhealthy things, there’s a process.
Before self love you have to invoke self tolerance and self neutrality.
If you can’t say “I love my body!” say “my body gets me from place to place.”
If you can’t say “I’m beautiful,” begin by shutting down the “I’m ugly” thoughts and saying “I’m a person.”
If you can’t say “I’m valuable” begun by shutting down the “I’m worthless” thoughts and say “all people deserve basic respect, and I’m a person.”
If you can’t say “I’m important,” or “I’m kind” say “I am the one who waters my plant every week” or “I am the one who tips the kind barista down the street” or “I am the one who makes sure my dog does not eat plastic” or “I am the one who leaves long comments on people’s fan fictions.”
I’ve genuinely never seen a way to bridge the gap, especially body-wise. There’s loads about self-confidence and loving your body EVERYWHERE, but no one really explains how to get there. It’s great to have the former, but I’m glad this info is out there.
joy soup be upon ye
Thank you, Soup Eminem.
The cruelty of racist white men.
Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.
If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.
Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.
Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.
I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.
Writers: It's asking to read your Google Docs and be able to 'summarize' things from them and such things. I just turned all mine off.
This is really difficult for me to do but I really have been left no choice
Some backstory for those who may not know, because I have a lot of new followers who may not know everything.
I have had many head injuries I never went to a doctor for, my siblings are very emotionally abusive to me and have been physical in the past too, I'm working on getting a doctor because they don't believe my head injuries were bad
My sister owns the house we live in, she got this house herself, her own idea, and has us helping pay rent, not on paper, under the table even.
She owns the house, rent helps pay bills
I have been jobless for two years now, I've been trying on and off between bouts of depression to find a job and either get no calls or interviews scheduled on the managers day off, I can't drive, so I can't work very far from home either.
She is now planning on taking things away, starting with my Internet access, which I actually also need to make job applications, and I really don't want to loose my ability to contact the friends I've made and this blog that has really been helping keep me sane these past few months, so I set up a ko-fi
Support Shortkinglogan On Ko-fi. Ko-fi lets you support the people and causes you love with small donations
Anything helps
Idk what else to do
I don't have anywhere else to go still
Sorry if I'm not making too much sense I'm struggling to find words right now
I just need a bit more time till I get insurance so I can see a doctor and hopefully get on disability
🚨UPDATE🚨
My sister said she is working on getting an eviction notice now
I don't know what to do anymore
No GO thought of the day today, I’ve reschedule that post for another day.
Today, rather than feeling sad, and angry, and powerless I want you to maybe think about doing a couple things.
1. Look up the definitions of coercive control, gaslighting, and emotional abuse/manipulation. Throw in financial abuse as well, because that too is relevant. Take your time to really understand what these things are.
2. Look up the criminal laws in your local state/county/country. Whatever laws govern your local area. Are there laws in place that recognise these actions as criminal offences? Do your domestic violence laws recognise them as signs and offences related to proving a DV case or restraining order? Do you HAVE robust DV laws in your area?
3. If the answer to anything in number 2 is No, start petitioning your local constituent/representative/councillor/member of parliament now to take action. Write to people. Email them. Go to a town hall meeting. Ask questions about why there aren’t laws in place to protect people.
4. Donate, or if you can, volunteer to crisis centres or support networks for people who are affected by SA, homelessness, and DV.
5. Don’t stop speaking up for victims. If you’re male presenting, and you are safe to do so, call out shitty behaviour by other men.
6. Remember that people can have more than one thought or feeling at a time, and just because you see them express one does not mean they’re not thinking, feeling, or expressing another. If you haven’t done the first 5 things, then don’t think yelling at people on the internet is somehow your job done in this situation. You’re just making hurt people feel worse.
Get mad but use that anger where it’s needed. Affect change. We can do it.
Please read Why Does He Do That by Lundy Bancroft.
Bancroft works with abusive men and his book goes into detail about abuse and how it works. I had no idea I was being abused until I read it - I only read it because I suspected one of my friends was abusing his gf. And in the process of reading I realised I was also being abused.

Take care of yourself while reading. It might be safer to do it covertly. It's a hard read either way.
Educate yourself on what abuse actually looks like. Paradoxically I had a lot of freedom. It took a lot of work from a domestic abuse charity for me to see that it wasn't "minor" what I was going through. And leaving was literally terrifying. But I knew I had to do it.

A Message from Katherine Kendall (“Claire”)
Thank you all so much for your love and support. If you are a survivor reading this, know that you also deserve to be believed, beloved, and
From the article:
“It is everyone’s individual choice what to do with Gaiman’s product going forward, but if you want to offer additional support, please consider making a donation to your local rape crisis agency*, or consider a donation to OurVOICE, a rape crisis agency in Asheville, NC.
*If you live in the US and are unsure of the name of your local IPV agency, you can find it using this database.
In 2020, Neil Gaiman committed to making a “hefty donation” to OurVOICE, the agency where I received counseling services in 2013. It was later discovered that he had not made the donation he promised.
I am not professionally affiliated with this agency, but believe strongly in its mission: to inspire hope and healing while ending sexual violence and human trafficking through education, counseling and advocacy.
I am also adding some info for people in the UK if you’d like to support Domestic Abuse or Intimate Partner Violence Helplines/Centres more regional to you, or if you need that support yourself (they usually also have contacts to local centres). Maybe others would like to add something in their countries as well?
🏴 Scotland: Rape Crisis Scotland, Scotland's Domestic Abuse and Forced Marriage Helpline or Scottish Women’s Aid (donations and other ways to help here)
🏴 Wales: Rape Crisis, Live Fear Free or Refuge (donations and other ways to help here)
🇬🇧 Northern Ireland (sorry, there’s still no separate emoji flag): Rape Crisis Northern Ireland, Domestic and Sexual Abuse Helpline or Nexus (donations and other ways to help via Nexus here)
🏴 England and whole of UK: Rape Crisis or Refuge (donations and other ways to help here)
Turn your helplessness and anger into something positive that really makes a difference…
Here's an actual concrete way to help.
Hey, fam, just FYI that even though Gaiman isn't the showrunner for GO3 anymore, he still owns the IP and therefore still gets a bunch of credits and will still be paid for his work on the show.
More info at this link, with receipts: https://www.reddit.com/r/neilgaiman/comments/1i6s6yk/neils_involvement_with_amazon/
Gaiman will continue to get residuals from all three seasons of GO and from any other show that has already been produced as long as they are streaming or broadcast anywhere. Presumably he will also continue to get royalties from sales of his books, along with advances for anything that anyone publishes in the future, assuming anyone still wants to publish his stuff at all.
Streaming any show Gaiman worked for, including GO3, will give more money to Gaiman. Buying Gaiman's books will give more money to Gaiman.
It's not possible to divest Gaiman of his own intellectual property, no matter how much we might want to do so. If you want to avoid supporting him financially, you need to not stream the shows or buy any more of his writing.
Please note that I'm not telling people that they shouldn't stream the shows or buy the books. It's up to each of us as individuals to decide whether or how we want to interact with Gaiman's work going forward.
Reminder
Neil Gaiman is still going to make money from Good Omens 3
Like y’all can be in denial about that cause he was “fired” but his ass still fucking getting paid when you binge that movie on repeat.
If anyone has evidence to the contrary please share, but I'm 99.8% sure he is and the evidence doesn't exist
Exactly. There is none. If there was, it would have been all over the fandom in minutes.
He's still getting royalties. Every time somebody streams GO, he will makes more money (and this includes S3). There's simply no way around it.
I don't mind if people choose to watch it anyway (that's a very personal decision), but I sure as hell do mind people insisting on remaining in denial and misleading others by saying that he's not going to get any money from it. We have the right to know that so we can make our own decisions fully informed.
Wow. This makes me angry beyond anything. Maybe it is because I'm so heartbroken, because I finally found a character I could relate to in Aziraphale. In both his personality and his trauma. I found healing in him. In Aziraphale, he was the closest character to me.
Now these 'allegations' came out against G*iman, and it makes me sick. He makes me sick. It makes me ill to know that he will be comfortable for the rest of his life knowing that he caused misery. Like someone has said, his writing showed he knew exactly how to be kind. He knew exactly how to spread joy and love, pain and fear. We know exactly what he chose to do.
I'm afraid that doesn't sit right with me. Not that I wish for a criminal investigation. The survivors have suffered enough. They know their truth. However, we should keep slashing at his check. Strike him where it truly counts. So the more ideas we have to do this, the better.
Fuck you, Neil Gaiman.
I'm sorry but what the actual fuck
We're really sayin the quiet part out loud, aren't we? God forbid anything "negatively affect season 3". Because that's the most important thing here.
Naturally, this person blocked our account. Denial is a helluva drug.
And for the record - everyone does NOT know. There are fans who didn't know as recently as two days ago. Two days. Aka AFTER the allegations stopped trending.
In other words, we failed to get the news out. His PR team is succeeding. He's winning.
And the implication that negatively affecting Season 3 would negatively affect the victims/survivors is not only incredibly offensive but one of the most ludicrous things I have ever read.
