Hey everyone! I’m making a new tumblr because I found out that my brother and his wife had been creeping on this page for an indeterminate amount of time (likely more than a decade for my brother). That’s why I’ve been gone because I was so fucking violated by that. But I’ve resorted to fighting with old men on Instagram when I want to talk about Star Trek and that’s rough. So if you want my new url please please please feel free to dm me!!! I’m going to queue this a few times and periodically check back for messages. I’ve missed my little phone friends so much and I can’t have another old man tell me that Jesus hates new trek and that Roddenberry would give a shit about that

i can't do this anymore! i mean i can, and i will, obviously. but i can't fucking do this anymore!

use, and i cannot stress this enough, thriftbooks

[colorisbyshe]

if thriftbooks doesn’t have what you’re looking for, especially if you’re looking for it used/cheap, alternatives include betterworldbooks and discoverbooks.

Other tips for cheaper books is checking amazon and scrolling down to the “buy used” or “other sellers” section and then checking to see if those sellers have storerfonts off of amazon.

There is also a good chance that you might have a local, indie book store that likely also has a used book section! Indiebound might help you find those book stores!

Also, check out your local library, sometimes, they have a for sale section or might have certain times of the year where they do massive used book (dvd, cd, etc) sales to fundraise!

(It’s also worth checking directly from an author’s or publisher’s page and seeing if they have other places they sell their books. I know this is about cheaper/used books, since some of y’all aren’t built for piracy or the library, but also if you want to dodge supporting amazon AND want to more directly support artists you support, there’s a good chance they might have alternate ways to buy the books!)

[headspace-hotel]

I use thriftbooks a lot, it's so good!

[initiala]

Bookshop.org allows you to purchase from a locally owned bookshop in your area, the order gets routed to them and the local shop will do the ordering and shipping to you.

fun fact!! it turns out that now when u make a new blog, tumblr forces you to follow 3-4 people before you can change your icon or modify your blog in any way!! this, of course, means that, yes, some of the "potential bots" many of us have been automatically blocking could have possibly been genuine new users who were only just seconds in to having an account!!! tumblr is literally screwing new users over!!!!

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

[beansterpie]

OK, SO!

Just to confirm for myself that this was true, I went and made a new account and took some screenshots.

After the usual inputting of email, username and birthday (which, I don't remember if tumblr used to require you to enter your birthday? I feel like it didn't??) it takes you to this page:

it requires you to follow five tags from a selection of categories (I didn't count the exact number of categories, but there's a lot. The right section of the screen scrolls down). I followed some very neutral tags:

The "Next" button doesn't become click-able until you pick all five.

After that, it took me to this page:

it suggests 10 different users for each tag that you selected in the previous page (the right side of the page scrolls down to all five tags). As far as I could tell, there wasn't a way to ask for more users in each tag.

Again, the "Next" button doesn't become clickable until you follow three people.

And finally after that it took me to the dashboard:

There wasn't any way to change my icon before this point. So long story short, seems like the og post is true y'all :/

That being said, this only applies to blogs that still have the standard tumblr-generated icons, which is pretty easy to distinguish from the pretty-lady-icon porn bots 🤷🏻

“Where do I stand on the – on the WHAT? The “Transgender Question”? Well for one thing, sir, I recall the last few usages of that particular phraseology. A group of millions is not a question – I have not yet finished speaking – not a question, but a demographic.“

“The Romans had their castrated priestesses, the Hindus their Hijras, but my god, let us take to the barricades because Uncle Al came to Thanksgiving in a skirt and pantyhose! It’s the province of rubes. Hayseed reactionaries and the worst effluvia of America’s suburban colon.”

“And Chapelle! My god, Chapelle. Embarrassing as only a true great can become in his declining years – I speak here with complete self-awareness; kindly hold your barbs – as he tires of innovation and falls back into the soporific cushion of the lowest common denominator!”

“One joke stretched until you can hear its joints popping like some poor bastard broken on the rack. “Oh my car has pronouns, I identify as a bird, I’m trans-Chinese.” The laziness of it – shameful. You should see the transgendered roast themselves; there’s true scorched earth.“

Brilliant.

Mattel selling a pre-fucked up Weird Barbie completely missing the point of weird barbie that you played too hard with and projected your weird shit on

For some reason I have doubts about putting my life in this man’s hands.

We are back in the 50s methodolagy of scientific advancement of "fuck around and find out" except these people are fucking around when we already found out in about the 70s

[angstbotfic]

okay but imagine how much better the world would be if we sent 1,000 billionaires to Venus. 

[prismatic-bell]

I feel like I need to tell you all it rains sulfuric acid on Venus.

This dude has literally picked the most inhospitable place in the solar system for this bullshit.

Like Elon is an idiot, but at least he picked a place that could theoretically be made habitable. This idiot is literally out here like “you know what I think people would love? Living in a cloud of poison gas that reaches 273 degrees Celsius.”

[esoteric-merit]

yeah, but imagine how manly and virile you'd have to be to spend billions of dollars to live on a colony on Venus! oh boy, wouldn't you ever be attractive and right and about everything ever, and no one could laugh at you ever again!

imagine the sheer feeling of power of gazing out your living room window and seeing sulfuric acid bouncing harmlessly off!

oh no, if only I was a billionaire who could afford to go out there and do that, and not a miserable peasant.
