I’m sorry friends, but “just google it” is no longer viable advice. What are we even telling people to do anymore, go try to google useful info and the first three pages are just ads for products that might be the exact opposite of what the person is trying to find but The Algorithm thinks the words are related enough? And if it’s not ads it’s just sponsored websites filled with listicles, just pages and pages of “TOP FIFTEEN [thing you googled] IMAGINED AS DISNEY PRINCESSES” like… what are we even doing anymore, google? I can no longer use you as shorthand for people doing real and actual helpful research on their own.
Time to drop some links again.

Also, P.S.: Please stop using Google, and start using more privacy focused search engines, like DuckDuckGo or SearchX (opensource; personally haven’t used it yet, but it looks promising for privacy-focused users)
That Google and Meta can get away with this during an era of intense misinformation and disinformation signals that we cannot rely on large tech companies to provide reliable access to information and news:
last week would have been the 58th birthday of bernard baran, who was imprisoned in 1984 at the age of 19 after a pair of parents failed to get him expelled from his position as a teacher's aide via a complaint about his uncloseted homosexuality and resorted to fabricating claims of pedophilia and sexual abuse. refusing a plea bargain for 5 years that demanded admission of guilt by maintaining his innocence, he received multiple life sentences and ultimately spent 21 years in prison. a scrawny boy of less than 100 pounds whose photo was published in the newspapers, he was beaten and sexually tormented, received threatening letters and a bounty was placed on his head. his conviction came in record time despite a total lack of evidence, countless contradictory and objectively impossible stories, and preschooler child witnesses outright asking for the "prize" they were "promised" after giving their testimony. his immediate appeal was denied, and afterwards his family was too poor to continue paying a lawyer. not a single lgbt organisation chose the side of a gay teenager being subjected to a kangaroo court in the middle of the satanic panic. ultimately, his release took until 2006, a few days after his 41st birthday, when a local advocacy group successfully proved the absurdity of his trial and the deliberate manipulation of evidence. he only got to live another 8 years in freedom, bearing mental and physical damage from years of abuse and negligent medical care. he needed a full set of new teeth to replace the ones that were punched out or broken and extracted. nevertheless, he enjoyed gardening and found work as a landscaper. his record has not been cleared to this day.
This is what pride is for.
Yes the parades are fun. That's not why we fight
no your honor I absolutely can make my case like an adult. first things first, fuck the defendant and fuck his family too. secondly,
imo the funniest possible thing for tumblr to do right now would be adding numerical discriminators to usernames
- discriminators were extremely useful on discord and there was no point to removing them
- discriminators would be a nuisance and an inhibition on tumblr and there would be no point to adding them
- everyone loses
- it's the Tumblr Way
My living situation feels like the lowest stakes House of Cards type shit right now I swear to christ
1. Move into a unit that allows pets, rented by roommate who has a large brown cat. (Cat is Muffin.) Muffin is named as a declared pet on the lease.
2. Get myself put on the lease, which allows pets.
3. Roommate moves out with Muffin.
4. Property owner "loses" my paperwork. Tells me I have to sign new lease to stay. New lease asks for $400 more per month. No pets. Falsely declares that I moved in the same day my roommate did- two months earlier than I actually moved in, and with a previous property owner.
5. Better than being homeless, I guess?
6. Sign document.
7. Property manager sucks. Refuses to do basic repairs and maintenance. Schedules visitations and never shows up. Bastards.
8. Get lonely. Want to get a cat.
9. Lease says no cats.
10. Ask for a rent receipt from my very first month living there.
11. Receipt (paid by the roommate who no longer exists on paper) shows I paid $500 less than I am now.
12. Find my signed copy from my "move in date", signed by the property manager.
16. According to the paperwork, either I moved in three years ago and they committed fraud and extortion, or I moved in three years and two months ago when the lease still said pets were allowed, and we can quietly ignore that my rent suddenly went up illegally for no reason.
17. Submit adoption application for a big brown cat.
18. Gonna name him Muffin
