(Welcome to the wonderful world of DnD; where a bunch of people with social anxiety issues, try to be social)
I'm on mobile most of the time and do not tag spoilers. Explore at your own risk
Speaking of Sullivan, here’s a interview that he was apart of:
And here’s another interview video where Lou is mentioned:
There’s also a book that contains a collection of diary entries that he made throughout his life. Its called We Both Laughed in Pleasure: The Selected Diaries of Lou Sullivan by Lou Sullivan with Susan Stryker, Zach Ozma, Ellis Martin.
The above links provide scripts for phone calls and letters/emails you can send if you prefer! PLEASE!!!!
You can text KOSA to resistbot too
Please call your senators and representatives if you are a US resident! I hate the phone and I’ve never actually called my reps on an issue before but I did it this time.
Do it now. Do it today.
Do you want AO3 to continue to exist? Do you want WIKIPEDIA to continue to exist?
Ethical considerations aside, politics aside, it costs money to collect, verify, and maintain a database of users’ personal information, and protect that database of private information from hackers who might misuse it.
Money that a lot of independent websites simply do not have.
This bill won’t just bring about unprecedented government surveillance. It will BANKRUPT smaller companies and nonprofits that simply CANNOT AFFORD to implement a digital panopticon into their online platform.
Websites you love and rely on will go bankrupt and shut down if this bill is passed.
This isn’t just about bringing about an era of unprecedented surveillance of heavily restricted free speech.
This is about monopolies purging the internet of competition.
It wasn’t boomers who made it impossible to survive on a librarian or gardener’s salary - it was rich people.
Plenty of boomers work as librarians, teachers, gardeners, and so forth, and are finding that as the cost of living skyrockets and corporations take over more and more of the world, that their salary is no longer able to support them.
And thus you have boomers - who understand how much you want to be a librarian because they also work as librarians - going bankrupt, losing their homes, drowning in debt, and dying because of unaffordable healthcare. And they get why you’re becoming an IT specialist instead of a librarian - because they! Know! That you can’t survive! On a librarian’s salary anymore!
On the flip side, the rich people sucking money out of every service and person they can! Aren’t! Always! Boomers! Tons of them are Gen X! And an increasing number are millennials! I haven’t seen a Gen Z billionaire yet but I’m willing to bet there’s a couple by now!
Oh, and it’s not like they “don’t know” how much people want to do these sorts of jobs - they do! That’s how they justify underpaying people, because it’s your passion, you don’t ~need~ to be paid a living wage for your passion.
You have more in common with poor boomers than you do with Kylie Jenner (born 1997). Go and talk to them. Organize with them. You’ll find they have a lot to offer once you stop dismissing them as rich old folks who ruined the economy.
As someone with a super leftist boomer father I feel this
The butch lesbian/trans man “funky printed button down” stereotype is true but you must understand that the men’s section of so many clothing stores is a bleak and miserable place. Clothing manufacturers are simply convinced that no one who wears men’s clothes wants anything besides the most boring outfits possible. Often stripes are the most exciting it gets. If you want to wear clothing designed for men but happen to like “color” and “joy” in your life then often the funky printed button down or the hawaiian shirt are simply your only options, especially off the clearance rack.
not to be a Brand and plug myself here but since i was tagged: i, nonbinary, make funky button downs in fun patterns that many have described as gender affirming/euphoric :^) they come in unisex sizing xs-4XL, 100% cotton, with button on the hips for extra room! also, i have tees/pants/jackets to match.
i wanna add @mayakern is doing button ups now and has preorders going on! and @irrel has some fun dnd themed button ups!
aww thank you! glad to be in good company, i adore all the artists tagged :’)
i’ve only just started my first foray into button up territory, but i have preorders open until march 31st! sizes XS-6X, polyester spandex blend, with extra hidden closures in the bust region to prevent gaping
But this is fine. Doing the (worldbuilding) work is important. Showing it (all)? Not so much. The minute the details of world-construction start distracting your reader from the story you’re trying to tell, you’ve started undercutting your narrative’s effectiveness.
Less is more, here. If you know your build’s detail well, it’ll come out naturally enough where needed as you write. Just relax and let it ooze out through the cracks at its own pace.
the code has been updated to remove some old extraneous filters that only applied on the old layout, and also now keeps the search bar in the top right.
Someone asked what this blocks so here you go. Top screenshot is with uBlock off completely, second screenshot is with the filters applied.
Blocked on the left side: Explore, TumblrMart, Get a Domain, and Go Ad-Free menu items as well as the blue Create button on the bottom of the sidebar.
Blocked in the center: The “Following / For You / Your tags / Manage…” header. The “Changes on Tumblr / Staff Picks / Trending / your tracked tags” marquee below that.
Blocked on the right side: The recommended blogs section and the Tumblr Radar.
There’s also an obnoxious banner ad that pops up between the Dashboard selection header and the Changes on Tumblr marquee, but it disappears even when I turn uBlock off so it may be getting swept away by xkit or some other extension I have that I don’t know about, but either way uBlock should catch it in its ad filters automatically if it’s not already on the filtered list.
If you want this customized you can always inbox me and I can try to adjust the filter setup to keep things like the radar, this is just what I use. If enough people want it I can itemize what each filter does, but I recommend just installing uBlock yourself and playing with the right-click -> Block element… tool to customize your experience. If it blocks something you wanted to keep you can easily undo it by going into the settings. Don’t let these guys crowd you out, don’t give them your money, don’t take no for an answer. <3
