It couldn't be me. If I was that fake husband, I'd have ratted out the entire crew from the get-go.

Whenever someone has a flashback in Alien: Earth.

Me: Please don't have a reincarnation romance subplot..PLEASE don't have a stupid reincarnation romance subplot...

*twenty seconds later*

Me: God fucking damnit!

How it will feel to finally see the Forgers again after a three month long flashback arc and a four-week hiatus.

And that's how Loid knew Yor was pregnant.

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

Open Tumblr in your browser, go to Blog Settings in each of your blogs and sideblogs and toggle on “Prevent third-party sharing” RIGHT NOW

sometimes i like to think that one day Anya meets Yor’s coworkers and they think she’s absolutely adorable and always beg Yor to bring her to the office to play with them during breaks; Yor is happy that Anya is getting the attention she deserves - and it makes her happy seeing her friends think how cute her daughter is. ❤️

[robislav1986-blog]

For a hot minute I forgot that Yor has a civilian job for cover, and I thought OP meant that Yor was bringing Anya to Garden and having all of these assassins just fawning over the Thorn Princess's daughter.

Im not saying NCR is a good choice but the Legion is without a doubt the worst choice out of all of em.

I honestly don't understand how the classical language relates to Anya's past, I mean, did scientists speak that language? Was it the way they wrote? Furthermore, it is supposed to be a dead language, it no longer exists, so why would some scientists continue using that language? Was it so that other people wouldn't be able to understand their plans? Is it because they are a small group that still speaks that dead language?

And most important of all, shouldn't these scientists be looking for Anya? Since she is a very necessary weapon created by them, they should be looking for her. Unless something happened in the lab and everyone is dead or imprisoned idk

I don't understand but it's clear from today's episode that Loid is already beginning to suspect Anya's past and I'm afraid of how far that suspicion will go.

[robislav1986-blog]

I think the scientists trained themselves to *think* in esoteric and classical languages around Anya to keep her from understanding their thoughts.

[robislav1986-blog]

I wonder if the reason Anya had trouble reading Demitrius was because she can only read internal monologue thoughts, and he just happened to be the first person she encountered who doesn't have that trait.

rich people be losing theoretical money and making it our problem. like imagine anyone not wealthy being like "this is how much money I thought I would be making and since I'm not, I'm taking it from someone who needs it way more than me" and then we call it inflation or rising costs of living

[biglawbear]

Btw you can be intensely critical of the Democratic party and recognize that it is full of aged out of touch moderates who are refusing to meet the urgency of the moment,

and also recognize that voting for Democrats is extremely important because it allows things like the confirmation of Justices and prevents the literal fascist party from gaining more power and that harm reduction is an important end in itself

These things can coexist

Politics is a long game. Being disappointed and angry today does not obviate your responsibility to participate

Voting determines the conditions you will organize under

[firstgrave]

[theselittlefeelings]

1. The Republican Party turns out for EVERY vote. Primaries, local elections, midterms, you name it. Most dems show up once every four year and then get defeatist when things don’t immediately change. It took the Republicans YEARS to overturn RvW but it has been a long game goal of theirs. YEARS of voting, and you’re gonna opt out after one vote. Okay.

2. Primaries are when you vote for who you want. Elections are when you vote for who you can. If you’re not voting in the primary, you’re letting the moderate centrist do-nothing candidate win.

3. Local elections affect your daily life. That sherif in Texas who is refusing to enforce the abortion ban? Local election. Gerrymandering, voter suppression, so much of this is trickle up from local politics.

4. Call your damn representatives. Even if it feels hopeless. The gun control reform that just passed (as minimal as it is) was bipartisan because people showed their reps that they wanted change. Get vocal as a voter and prove courting your vote matters.

5. If someone in your area is running for office and needs votes, be a signature for them. Not everyone can afford to pay to run. You want to support better candidates, put your name behind them (only in your district and always read what you’re signing first).

6. The two party system is shit. We know that. But the democrats are a big tent housing a lot of different opinions and trying to cater to them all. Republicans are generally united in one mission of dismantling everything and protecting only their own. This is also why Dems don’t have the same type of “super majority” and can’t easily whip the same voting results. And anyone who thinks Obama had a super majority for enough time to codify roe does not understand politics. He had about 18 days of actual in-session time, split into two different sessions.

7. Purity politics isn’t going to get you anywhere. The candidate is a bus stop getting you closer to where you want to be. They’re not the end goal, and a smart voter knows that.

8. Voter suppression is huge in America. Help other voters register and get to the polls. It’s not always indifference keeping people from voting. Do something to help disenfranchised voters.

Let me repeat: The two party system is shit. We need to get rid of the electoral college. We need ranked choice voting. We need to get rid of Citizens United. Our country is an oligarchy. Always has been. Not denying that. But Living in these ideals of what we should be without creating any change now isn’t going to get you anywhere. Being defeatist and abstaining from the process is cutting off your own nose to spite your face. Its saying “the other team is scoring too many goals, so instead of playing, I’m just gonna sit on the sidelines. That’ll teach everyone.” No, you’re just gonna keep losing. Maybe, instead, vote in the primaries and choose better teammates.

Y’all kill me with these “hot takes.” They ain’t even half baked.

Now, if you want to talk about the other things we should be doing IN ADDITION TO voting, like general strikes, organizing, etc. Then that’s a different conversation we should also be having.

[stele3]

Also no, there is no such thing as “one more vote.” Vote every time. Vote consistently. Vote national. Vote local. It’s the absolute MINIMAL amount of civil engagement you can do. If you can do more than vote, do more, but at least vote every single time.

[nyxelestia]

A lot of people really think democracy is something they only have to do once. It's not. It's something we do constantly - because greedy and power-hungry and malicious people are constantly trying to take advantage of society. Evil never stops, so neither do we.

[labelleizzy]

Evil never stops, so neither do we.

VOTE.

"Just wash one more dish bro I swear then we won't have to do dishes anymore bro come on just one more load of laundry bro and then I promise all the clothes will be clean ok just trust me bro the chores will definitely be done okay just sweep the kitchen floor and take out the trash this one last time it'll work I swear you'll never have to do chores again I promise."

Grow the fuck up.

Vote in every election. Over and over again until you die. It's a chore. That's how chores work.

Hell yeah the US just gave like 8 billion dollars in funding to intercity passenger rail. Including some HIGH SPEED RAIL?!?!?!??

can't overstate how massive this is, i used to work in rail and US trains were so pitifully underfunded that my employer wouldn't even bid on those projects because it wasn't worth the time. This is actually putting us on the level of other countries that invest in transportation as a public service??? And 8 billion? Like this could actually really make some massive change.

[queer-as-city-folk]

Yeah, I announced this yesterday and that was one of the most exciting days for US rail in years

[aethersea]

hell yeah, here's a source from the department of transportation, dated dec 8

Today's episode of Re: Dracula just reminds me that one of the reasons I hate the Coppola adaptation so much is that it so thoroughly butchers the characters so much, and yet it is the only one that actually features Quincey as an individual character. Why are there so many filmmakers who just fail to realize how much more awesome their Dracula adaptations would be if they actually included an American cowboy?
