If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.
On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.
Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.
But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.
What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.
Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:
Had a dream that there was a new Pokemon that was ghost type and it was like. Half a greyhound. It was a spectral dog that was known as one of the fastest Pokemon. And yet it only had it front legs. There were wispy floating stubs on its back half which sort of implied there COULD be legs, but they never reached even close to the ground. It stood on its front legs as if the back legs were still there.
I don’t know what this Pokemon’s name was but its appeared in many of my dreams so either they made it real and I forgot or I’m being haunted by a Fakemon.
I have been informed it is not a real Pokemon so I’ll share another detail I recall seeing about it more than once.
One of its main features about it is that it could run stupidly fast, like, a solid 100 MPH (at least thats my best guess from a dream) but more impressively or eerily is that it could go from 100 to 0 almost immediately, stopping in a stance where it stood up straight and at attention
I think I love this weird dream dog
I assume this is for artists so sure thing
I imagine that this dog is very tall and sleek (like a good five feet tall), with a sickly pale (with just a hint of light blue hue). Its eyes are a pure empty (yet still piercing somehow) white. Along its front half across the back and its legs are pale green sets of stripes, almost like racing stripes.
As for how the ghostly “back legs” worked, they looked sort of like this
with his physical form slowly transitioning into an pale blue ectoplasm, and there were amorphous hints of what could have possibly once been legs. Despite completely missing his back half, the posture seen here is still its regular posture, standing straight up, as if a soldier at attention.
Scott McCloud’s incomparable “Understanding Comics”.
I swear you can open this book to any page and it’s amazing.
(ps it’s actually a digital image of a printed copy of a drawing of a painting of a pipe)
Highly recommend scott mccloud’s “understanding comics” as an introduction to all forms of visual media, but especially educational work like scientific illustration because the man does have a handle on some of the funkier stuff that happens when a viewer tries to interpret an image.
Also reccomended: james gurney’s “light and color”. The man did Dinotopia he knows what the fuck he’s talking about.
So my wife is trans and gonna get bottom surgery hopefully in a couple years. We’re in the middle of the Mythbusters episode where for various reasons they make a silicone mold of one host’s face, and my wife turns to me and says, “I just realized that if we cast and mold a silicone copy of my dick now, once I’ve had bottom surgery, I could literally go fuck myself”
Which is why we paused Mythbusters and immediately spent about €60 for a dick mold and silicone casting set (arriving in up to 7 business days) because you can’t waste the chance to commit to a bit like this
Starting a new thread of insane shit I over hear my husband say to our toddler.
“Here, will this rice cake cracker sate your dark passanger?”
2. “Come now my child.”
*bluey the album starts playing*
3. “Oh I am so sorry. You’ve been mildly inconvenienced. How dare I truly”
4. “It is she! Her Majesty, Queen of the Sludge, Keeper of Goo, DJ Baby P (In the House) Dropper of Beats and Clapper of Hands”
5. He is in charge of bathtime and he lifted the ghoul tonight while singing “come with me and you’ll be in a world of baby sanitation” and I laughed so hard I snorted pasta
6. Okay this is more one that he said to me about the toddler but he was home with her while I was at work and I just got this text
7.
“Happy Independence Day Sweetie! Nationalism is a cancer!”
8. This is another one he said to me about her but still it made me laugh so hard I nearly choked
9.
*Penny babbling in the back seat, many la la las coming from her car seat*
“Are you singing us a song? Ah yes the dulcet tones of goblin”
10.
“Listen kid, I can’t let you have the cup anymore because you keep chugging the bath water, so we just have to remove the cup from the equation.”
11.
*penny is screaming, trying to climb back up a big slide at the playground*
“Someday you’ll learn about ,I don’t know physics and the myth of Sisyphus ,and you’ll start making a lot of connections I think. “
12. *Pen is still screaming and baby cussing about not being able to climb back up the slide*
“The problem is that you set goals for yourself that are unattainable by both man and baby.”
13.
“You can keep the cookie container, I don’t care. What kind of father would I be if I tried to separate a small raccoon child from her trash!?”
14.
*Penny is crying because the bucket she insisted on sitting in fell off the couch with her in it. Husband is bouncing her and rubbing her back after assessing that no physical damage occurred, just a bruised toddler ego*
“Oh my poor sweet angel. She fucked around and found out.”
15.
16. “The only three things this child cares about is Elmo, Cooking Videos, and Keith Tryguy”.
17.
“Hey. No! Cup privileges hereby rescinded, bath chugger”
18.
we miss him a lot
19.
20.
“I just don’t know how you and I, the two most indoorsy people to ever exist, managed to give birth to I don’t know , Baby Bear Grylls!?”
21.
“Not that I ever would because I love her and she’s my best friend, but I’m pretty sure if we just gave her one of those old timey kerchiefs on a stick and like sent her into the woods, she’d be fine. She’d come home in a week with berries and woodland friends ready to go to war for her.”
22.
“There’s so many mommy blogs and parenting books but not one of them have ever told me what to do when my child adopts a mad scientist laugh. How do you proceed from there?”
23.
(For context on this one, my in laws have one of these as a coffee table)
24.
Me: *hears a biiiig gulp come from upstairs* HEY IS SHE CHUGGING BATH WATER AGAIN?
Husband: SHE GOT THE PITCHER I USE TO RINSE HER HAIR AND IM AFRAID OF HER SO YES
25.
“ you know how penny can count to 5? She absolutely can not count to 6. We’re going through the numbers on her cube thing right? One, Two, Three, Four, Five and stop. She looks at me like what the hell do you mean keep going we’ve completed counting, this is all the numbers. I point at the 6, cause you know this thing goes to 10 and she is like looking at me like Dad, I got 1 through 5, that thing you’re pointing to? That’s some ancient rune from an unknown civilization and I can’t help you with that”
26.
“You really can do anything you set your mind to Penny Rose, it’s just that what your set it to doesn’t make a lick of sense”
27.
“Oh by the way I need a new pitcher because penny rose, much like a tiny Thor, took her bath pitcher and cracked in on the ground after she attempted to chug it”
28. (In response to penny being in her “I must be nude” phase)
29. Last one today. In response to Penny Rose’s unadulterated toddler rage
30.
“Her legs are so small why she so fast?”
31.
“Who taught her to call us you guys? She knows we’re mom and dad right? She just keeps calling me you guys”
32.
“When I get a sandwhich or a sub I always get chips cause you gotta get P a distraction snack, a dissnacktion if you will”
33.
Can’t get in my feelings when my husband is the court jester appointed to make me laugh
34.
(For context we play a level of Kirby every night as soon as P is out of the tub and into her Jammies)
“Penny Rose you have to brush your hair! You can’t let Kirby see you like this!”
35.
“Penny woke up with morning and said “I’m gonna lay in bed and and shout every word I know with no context at all”
36. “You’re being a real Muffin right now lady”
Oooo drag her
37.
*penny and husband in the distance, Penny is yelling PUSH PUSH PUSH PUSH*
“Girl the word you’re looking for is actually pull. You want to pull the zipper on your Jammies… yes okay yeah you do it. But you’re not doing it. Its pull. Its pull. You pull. You pull. You did it! I don’t know if that deserves applause really. Okay we’re clapping”
38.
This might be niche to us but man I was cracking up
39.
“My wish for P is that someday she finds someone who looks at her the way she looks at bread”
40.
“I know we don’t have food rules but I am going to have to start enacting food laws against food crimes. First order, you can’t shove your fist in the butter. That’s not about eating that’s about human decency.”
41.
Them boys are gonna learn unfortunately
41. (For context my daughter calls herself Penny Woes, because her name is Penny Rose and Rs are hard)
“When the snacks are gone and no one will pick you, these are Penny Woes”
42.
Husband: *goes to steal another fruit snack from P*
Me: stop stealing her snacks!
Husband: it’s the dad tax!
Me: yeah well taxation without representation is illegal.
Husband: she can say whatever she wants to me! And I, much like the US government, don’t have to listen to ANY of it!
43. Alright when we get to 50 I’m starting a new thread. This is getting out of hand
44:
Wednesdays are my favorite days because my husband works from home with Penny and I get a running commentary all morning
45:
“You’ll never defeat Posiedon if all you’re worried about is your dress getting wet!”
I hate this. People want to hate on LGBTQIA+ people so much that they don’t even bother to learn the facts. How do you not realize that pronouns are just a part of speech? Wait until you find out about VERBS.
talking to someone about my city and she goes “i can tell the concept of home means a lot to you” and. yeah. i never realized that about myself, but i have a huge attachment to my city, to the places i would visit as a child. i have so many memories here and i know this place so well. i have this connection to the area and getting to show someone around it is. this very intimate act to me

I genuinely think this is a more interesting take on the treachery of images than most and it’s super refreshing because a lot of people stop their interpretation and thinking at the most famous interpretation. Meanwhile, Magritre, among other in this series, painted this:
It’s called The Two Mysteries and I always want to show it to every person who call the message of the treachery of images obvious.

Let me break it down this way: some lesbians and gays feel that their issues are more important than transgender issues, because transgender people are freaks. Some transgender people—often, but not only, transsexuals—view transsexual issues as more important than the issues of, say, cross-dressers. Some among the more genderqueer portions of our community look down upon those who opt to live in a more “normatively gendered” space. There are even groups that cross-dressers feel superior to: sissies, drag kings and queens, “little girls,” and so on. Yes, I’m sure that we could follow even each of these groups and find that, eventually, everyone has someone they view as a freak.
This is a human phenomenon, and one which occurs especially, it seems, among marginalized groups. Trekkers versus trekkies versus people in Klingon costumes, or furries versus fursuiters versus, oh, plushies. I’m sure if I looked at model railroaders, I’d probably find that HO gauge fans look down at N scale, or something like that. The taxonomies are endless, often circular, and are usually graded to a fineness that would be invisible to any outsider. We just want to identify the “real” freaks, so we can feel closer to normal. In reality, not a single one of us is so magically normative as to claim the right to separate out the freaks from everyone else. We are all freaks to someone. Maybe even—if we’re honest—to ourselves.
I find it unfathomable and astounding that Tumblr isn’t more obsessed with Sam Reich. You’re telling me there exists out there a man who was born into the aristocracy of our country—with every privilege of modern society at his fingertips—who didn’t complete high school (due to his mental health) and instead chose to devote his life to making strangers laugh and raising awareness on mental health. A full-bearded short king who is so committed to being the change he wants to see in the world that he decided to take the company he worked for into his own hands so that he could make sure all the people who worked under him could keep their livelihoods.
How many other CEOs are out here being as honest and transparent with their target audience/market as Sam Reich is? How many of them acknowledge when they fumble and continuously strive to be better than they were? How many of them actually seem like they respect their talent, both in the cast and crew? Sam Reich is the standard we should be holding other CEOs to.
But forget about all that (I could talk for a long time about the respect I have for Sam Reich)—ignore just how respectable he is as a businessman and a person. Ignore all the wholesome reasons for obsessing over Sam Dalton Reich.
The man is a stone-cold fox.
He’s a little chaos gremlin and an absolute evil mastermind all rolled into one classy suit and well-groomed beard. Whenever Sam is on the set, you can guarantee he is going to make you crack a smile. And for someone with such natural authority, he’s never afraid to be the butt of a joke and show himself being embarrassed. Go ahead, watch any clip of him trying to improvise in No Laugh Newsroom and just try to resist that blush.
You’re sleeping on a goldmine of a man, here, damnit! And I will NOT let this go ignored any longer!

PSA for trans men, trans mascs, and enbies & intersex folks on T:
Your injections should AT WORST feel like a hard pinch if you hit a vein on accident. It should NOT sting the whole time, itch, be tender for more than a day, and should not cause significant bruising.
I was not told this when I started, and missed that I was allergic to my shots for the first 2 months I was on T. There is more than one type of oil, and the type of T they prescribe most often is more likely to have allergic reactions. You should not have to suffer more just to get your boy juice. You can also gain allergies over time, so if you start experiencing these symptoms, check in with your doctor!
why is the default terf insult “you’re just a freak wearing a dress,” like, you call yourself a feminist and yet wearing a dress is the best insult you can come up with, something soooo shameful for men to do?
even if they’re not trans?
wasn’t the whole point that no one should have to wear pants to be respected, lol?
wasn’t the whole idea that we as a society don’t need to throw people in the boxes of woman that stays home wearing dress and flower apron and man wears the pants and goes to work?
