THE KNIGHT OF MONDAY

"Masks don't do anything"

You can see the exact moment when covid mitigations were relaxed in all these places.

oh, if you are a star — your city, Petropolis Gondor, your brother, Gondor, is dying.

okay but if you ever see a male creative who had a string of great work and then everything else he did was dogshit, go to the "personal life" part of his wikipedia and look at his relationships. you'll either find a major tragedy he didn't recover from (completely understandable) or, more likely, there was a woman in his life doing uncredited shit editing his stuff or contributing generally and she's not there anymore.

I told a friend about this phenomenon in literature and he called me weeks later like, I remembered what you said about women doing uncredited work when tim burton came up. he made a string of bangers then everything else just was nowhere near as good. the timeline matches perfectly to when he was with this german visual artist (lena gieseke). he's done some good work in collaboration, but if things were dug into I suspect we would find she did a lot more than people realise.

so yeah whenever you look around like wow women didn't work in history, or, women aren't auteurs, or, there just aren't as many great female writers - societal reasons for that aside, half the time they absolutely did.

sorry for being so obsessed with that little man who lives in my head. as if i have any choice

some of y'all fundamentally misunderstand my favorite characters but im being sooooo normal and mature about it. i haven't even killed anyone yet

When I used to play widowmaker in overwatch id put some bait in the chat like "why are they called light savers if they don't save any light?"

You'd see a bunch of people stop to type and I could take them out one by one. Easy wins

Hands Off protests around the country.

As to folks proclaiming these photos are bad OPSEC, we can all agree everyone in these photos is at this protest to be seen protesting. People worried about OPSEC do not go to peaceful protests easily identified or at all. Just chill for a sec and let people have their peaceful movement.

A distant relative of "he wouldn't fucking say that" is "it would take a LOT of pressure for him to say that and you are not painting a picture where that criteria is met"

Btw much as I love to make fun of twitter and reddit's business decisions, I have 0% trust in tumblr's management to not go a similar route so this is your gentle reminder that you should regularly go to your blog settings to export your blog. That's a fancy way of saying you can download a backup of your blog so if everything goes down you'll still have a backup of your posts & convos.

It's gonna come as a surprise to most of you, but if you don't want to do that for whatever reason you're allowed to not reblog this post. I'm not holding a gun to your head here I'm just trying to spread the word for people who do want a backup of their stuff.

Also, made this guide for backup Tumblr blogs (ft. export blog method, and python 3 script method):
