I've known for a while that the days of the week in English mostly matched up to Norse gods (Tuesday = tyrsday, Wednesday = odinsday, Thursday = thorsday, Friday = freyasday)

but it only JUST clicked for me that the French days of the week line up with the roughly equivalent Roman gods (Tyr = Mars = Mardi, Odin = Mercury = Mercredi, Thor = Jupiter = Jeudi, Freya = Venus = Vendredi)

it's intetesting

Working on a classic Web 1.0 style fan site and trying to install some features I have fond nostalgic memories of

Had to track down the code and am now trying to figure out the instructions on how to install it, and hoping this nearly 30 year old code will work on modern browsers.

my brother's Facebook has exploded with star trek memes. radio silence for 2 years and then suddenly a flood of TNG and Voyager.

this isn't a bad thing btw. he's been in kind of a funk and I'm glad to see him find something that brings him joy.

When I still worked in a call center I remember speaking to an old man who lamented that he always wanted a dog but his wife didn't like them, and had made peace with the fact that he'd never get to have one. He sounded so sad about it.

I told him animal shelters are always looking for volunteers, and recommended he look into that. He sounded really interested.

That was years ago... I still think about it. I hope he did try volunteering and got some joy out of it.

How To Block a User From Your Sideblog On Mobile

So when you block someone using the "block" button, they're only prevented from seeing your main blog. They could still hypothetically see things you post from a side blog.

If you want to stop them from engaging with your sideblog you have to block them from that sideblog as well.

This is easily done if you scroll Tumblr with a computer, but unfortunately it can't be done on the mobile app.

However, if you don't have access to a computer, it can still be done on mobile!

Open up your phone's browser (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, etc) and navigate to http://www.tumblr.com

If the browser asks if you want to open the link in the app, say "no."

Further instructions under the cut, with screen shots!

Once you're on Tumblr dot com, it should look something like this. Find and click the hamburger menu in the top left corner.

Select which blog you'd like to block from, and click the down arrow next to it.

From the expanded menu options, select "blog settings"

Scroll ALLLLLLLLL the way down to the bottom, and you will find a section that says "blocked tumblrs." Click the pencil icon next to it.

Type the username you'd like to block and then hit the "block" button. Ta-da, they can no longer interact with that blog, or see its posts on their dashborard!

I think the ideal order to play Ocarina of Time and its successors is:

1. Ocarina of Time

2. Wind Waker

3. Majora's Mask

4. Twilight Princess
