anyway just a reminder for the myth lovers out there

king arthur was welsh. merlin was welsh. camelot was in wales. the lady and the lake she pops out of; welsh. excalibur; magic inanimate welsh object. etc.

on the way to see family, i drive past a lake that in which is welsh legend, is the last resting place of excalibur.

i’m just saying in my experience a lot of these legends had been so anglo-fied in the past and it’s like, all this cool shit is celtic welsh legend.

Arthur’s wife was called Gwenhwyfar first.

The Post Plus Protest is coming! Updated Edition

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Fill out the survey on the original Post Plus post (be polite, don’t spam, but GET YOUR POINT ACROSS that we don’t want this). Since we mean business, it’s time to hit them where it hurts; Ad Revenue.

We’re proposing a 24 hour log off as the main event of phase one.

WHEN IS THE PROTEST?

The protest starts by logging off on August 6th, 2021 at 12am Eastern Time (US). Here’s a quick chart to help figure out when you log out. AUGUST 6th, 2021  12 am Eastern Time (US)    4 am UTC    5 am BST/London    6 am Central Europe Time    7 am Moscow Standard Time    9:30 am Indian Standard Time    12 Noon Hong Kong Time/Australian Western Time    1 pm Japan Standard Time    1:30 pm Australian Central Time    2 pm Australian Eastern Time

AUGUST 5th, 2021

  11 pm Central Time (US)   10 pm Mountain Time (US)     9 pm Pacific Time (US)

THE END TIME IS 24 HOURS FROM THE START TIME!

So that means if you log off at say, 6 am Central Europe Time you’ll log back in at 6 am Central Europe Time on August 7th. We’d prefer if if there is no posting, no queues, no likes, and no reblogs during this period.

WHAT IF I CAN’T/WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Like this post, share it, and use the hashtags #tumblrlogoff2021 and/or #postplusprotest on ANY and ALL social media. If you’re using the mobile version, you can always leave an honest review on the app center of your choice (once again: be polite, don’t spam, but GET YOUR POINT ACROSS!).

WHY IS POST PLUS/POST+ SO BAD?

Tumblr’s primary focus is on FAN content (whether any of us want to admit it or not). Putting these kinds of contents behind patreon like paywalls is a terrible idea and the legality is NOT in the user or their subscribers favor. You can absolutely get in legal trouble for what tumblr is proposing with this new feature. There’s also the worry about the site’s (poor) security and access to Post Plus users bank information. Do you really want a site that lacks a functioning search function and whose userbase routinely get hacked to have your credit card information? No, you really don’t.

WILL THIS WORK?

Maybe, maybe not. It’s an attempt at doing something to combat tumblr’s impending self-inflicted demise.

ANYTHING ELSE?

There’s a time zone checker linked in a previous post if you need it and I’ll try to fix any mistakes to times as I find them. Keep an eye out for future posts closer to the protest date and the eventual phase two! Thank you ALL for your support so far.

we’ll be logging off tonight! join us!

heres the comparison:

Reblogging with updates! Healthy bulldogs AND healthy pugs! ❤️

ICYMI:

Members of the Red Lake Nation sent out to perform a ceremony on their treaty lands, but were assaulted & arrested. They chose treaty lands at the mouth of a pipeline Enbridge is has been trying to lay (With pushback and even sabotage from water protectors). Treaty rights surpass all federal and state laws, but Enbridge and their badge wearing guard dogs don't care.

This is Alex Golden Wolf explaining (they've since been arrested, their venmo & the bailout account are below).

Update from Red Lake Treaty Camp now:

This is current up to July 26, 2021, as far as I can tell. If future updates are added to this post, please include dates, so readers are aware of what information is current, and what information may be out of date.

As of July 31, 2021 —

Red Lake Treaty Camp was maced and tear gassed on Friday, July 30.

14 people were arrested Friday, and more were injured (other water protectors were arrested Thursday — at this point just assume daily arrests as people try to stop the drill at Red Lake).

As of midday Saturday, there were verified reports from Pennington County Jail that those water protectors arrested on Friday were being kept in the clothes that had chemical irritants on them and were not being allowed to change.

This is the first time chemical weapons and nonlethals have been used against water protectors in Minnesota. This is a big deal. No one in camp was prepared for it, and no one in camp had proper protective or safety gear. Most camps have to haul water in because they’re remote. Cleaning tear gas off is incredibly difficult when you don’t have access to water, are in a drought, are pinned in, and are trying to keep chemicals off the land and out of the water.

The point of these protests is two-fold and intersecting: 1) Indigenous land rights and 2) protection of the environment. These intersect into protection of indigenous culture, indigenous religion, and indigenous sovereignty.

Introduction of chemical weapons is bad. Really, really bad. This is not an urban setting. Every single one of the water protector camps is on a lake, river crossing, or watershed. Every single camp is at, on, or protecting a critical habitat. That’s the point — to protect the land, to protect the water.

jojo siwa is like. her style is not my taste at all but as soon as other people call it annoying im like actually you're wrong she's an icon and a legend

she looks like the concentrated essence of a claires store and i do not mean this negatively

it’s the “fuck you” to the current trend of encouraging teenagers to look 24 and embracing girly things that cis men hate

American Kawaii

she looks like someone turned a Skittles commercial into a person and i love it

If you don’t mind me putting my two cents:

I feel like Jojo Siwa’s style is reminiscent of the colorful teen girl fashion of the late 2000s and early 10s. Back then it was considered fashionable to use lots of colors, accessories, etc. Take a look at Jojo Siwa:

Very colorful, generous with sparkles and accessories. It’s meant to be fun!

If you were a kid in 2007-2012 you saw something similar in the clothing the teens in your sitcoms wore, although not as exaggerated. The fashion in Shake It Up(which came out in 2010) is a really good example of this:

(You may laugh, but this was the height of fashion to 13 year old me.)

The point is, Jojo’s aesthetic is similar to being a young pre teen girl walking into Limited Too for the first time.

And the reason cishet men hate it is because they don’t find it attractive. That’s why she’s often made fun of and used as a joke so much. Because that style doesn’t cater to the male gaze. It’s not for them, so it must be bad.

found these on twitter that might be helpful to all rpers who want to make sure their themes and carrds are accessible to all

consider this for themes as well

Out of Touch

Report Disney, Report Universal, Knotts, the Large Golf Courses.

Report them en mass and force their business behavior to change.

If you want to report water waste by Disney, Nestle, Universal, Palm Springs Golf Course, etc., go here and select “multiple types of waste”, because nothing else actually fits real wasters like them.  (The other nine options are about ratting out your neighbors [7], complaining about cleanliness in hotels [1], or complaining about restaurants serving water unasked [1]. Fuck all of these.) 

“Multiple types of waste” requires a comment, but somehow I don’t think anyone on Tumblr will have any problems sharing their opinion.  In vast detail, if necessary.

You can also take photos of Disney’s, Knotts’, Universal’s, etc. water waste and attach it to the report.

This can be done through desktop or mobile.

Have fun!

i love tommy wiseau because nobody but tommy wiseau knows exactly who he is

nobody knows where exactly he was born, or anything about his past. “tommy wiseau” isnt even his real name

fuck nobody even knows how old he really is

he’s also a multi billionaire and no one has any idea where he acquired that fortune

his whole life literally makes no sense

I really dislike Kawaii Future Bass or whatever this genre is called so I made it sound shitty with a bunch of random samples.

HEY TUMBLR WHEN WE SAID "BE GAY DO CRIME" WE DIDN'T MEAN BEING SUED FOR MAKING A PROFIT OF FANWORKS OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL UNDER A PAYWALL YOU ENDORSED TYPE OF CRIME.

Post+, the basics on why you shouldn't use it and why you should participate in the protest

me being raised on 90s internet rules where telling someone online your favorite color was giving out too much personal information watching gen z youtubers give out their real first and last names and telling everyone the exact city and apartment complex where they live

Please stop making caards listing out all your mental illnesses, race, age, gender, sexuality, full name, location, school, job history, specific special interests and hyperfixations to the point where someone can easily stalk you through the information you are posting. No one is entitled to know any of this for any reason. You don’t need to prove anything to anyone.

False i joined the military so i didn't end up with half a mil in medical debt like my parents

[ID 1: a retweet of a tweet by @/octotron 'Big Crazy Robot" that reads "Cancelling everyone's college debt is a great way to make sure literally no one joins the military going forward." The retweet by @/kyry5 'Kyle Patrick' contains an edited image from the movie Mean Girls. It was edited to show Regina George's dialogue saying "So you agree? You think the military exploits impoverished adolescents hoping to gain more social mobility" /end ID]

[ID 2: a two panel image that shows a person saying "Okay. But that's worse. You do get how that's worse, right?" /end ID]

disney channel did not debut its first sapphic couple between two main characters in a children’s cartoon.

dana terrace did.

cartoon network did not give us the first wlw wedding in a children’s animated tv show.

rebecca sugar did.

cartoon network didn’t make bubbline canon.

pendleton ward did.

nickelodeon isn’t responsible for korrasami, it’s first ever wlw couple.

bryan konietzko and michael dante dimartino are.

do not let these corporations take credit for something that LGBTQ+ creators fought and took risks to get where they got. especially when said corporations made these people fight tooth and nail and take the risk of their shows being canceled altogether.

dana terrace, rebecca sugar, pendleton ward, bryan konietzko, michael dante dimartino, and every other creator that fought for then representation we deserve. thank you. your efforts are not unappreciated.

It's true that like once you start having ambiguous gender feelings it's a little bit of a free for all like yes I'm a woman but I'm also male and I like being called a boy but I'm not a man like sorry I'm on Advanced Gender nuance now but also my gender is that stuffed fox on a chair.
