And what really gets me is, it's perfectly harmless, the fic under pic thing, unless an artist tells you to please not to
If you’re angry that people keep reblogging a certain person
You have
Tumblr Savior
You have Black List
You can also unfollow those people and specifically follow the SOURCES for those arts or photosets
You don’t ever have to see anything anyone writes.
Or posts.
Or anything.
The lengths they went to, to “complain”
Automatically tells me -also based on the frequency they detail having to see reblogs
Tells me that this person is/was in that fandom circle, or is in that group
And has some unvoiced beef
And is just a coward/asshole
Because if you have a Tumb-beef
Shit, there are all kinds of ways to handle it if you ain’t shit
A parody blog where you claim to not care, but super fucking care down to the layout
Then flounce around going
Well I don’t really care and I Kneeeew it’d be over when her fans found me
“Found You”?
If they care enough, I’d ask that circle to examine those around them.
Someone’s whining and dissatisfied as what they perceive to be a “big name in fandom”
And why can’t they be it
No matter what any of us are doing here
writing
drawing
analysing
making photo sets
fuck even rebloggin shit you really fucking like
news about the thing
fan arts about the thing
whatever the thing Thing
If you aren’t doing it for YOURSELF
and because you LOVE THIS SHIT
but because
“Well I can get popular this way!”
Tap the fuck out, go home.
You let me know when someone is on some vile ass bullshit and we can tango
But shit ike this?
Aw hale naw
We not doin this shit right here.
Like I said
It’s someone all ya’ll already know, either their on the inside or they’re on the fringes, pissed they can’t get “in”
Here’s the secret:
There is no “In”
When you’re passionate about something you love
People who also love it and fuck, even people who don’t
Will still love you
Passion will bring people to you, even if it’s just one lonely fan.
how the fuck do i become friends with some of you you guys are cool as fuck
how the fuck do i become friends with some of you you guys are cool as fuck
From what I can tell...
Some assclown tried to go in on Spicyshimmy
I don’t run in those circles anymore, but I see their reblogs from time to time
And they’ve certainly never been a terrible person to me…
There are some things I find suspicious that may point to the face behind the blog however
Though with some checking around, this may be some person on the fringe of that fandom side of tumblr and is just a bit angry because they can’t get the “in”
If you do however, have legitimate problems or see problematic content with someone’s work
That is valid…
But what I’ve seen so far is not
Hm
And they do that you know? If you're in their "collection", they call on you like a minion to run out and condemn and brow beat others into getting "in line" or shutting up
And what’s worse
Because these people think they’re doing “good” and being a “good ally/solidarity”
They whip themselves till their bleed and rip of the masks of their own beliefs and person hood to do this shitty bidding
They really do allow themselves to be summoned in attack mode.
I wish I were exaggerating.
One day they’ll realize that this is a player that continuously discards and abuses cards.
You’ll be Sacrificed when the time comes

Calling Gideon's Character "The Deuce"
He’s in Town with his Alpha Pack because Peter never called him back
“I made a pack to come find you.”
And Peter will be like
“Uh I am… THIS IS WHO I AM WITH NOW!”

Why self defense doesn't fix society-wide problems
If safety in society depends on the willingness to apply near-lethal force at all times, you don't have safety.
"First, intelligence and law enforcement agencies are increasingly drowning in data; the more that..."
"First, intelligence and law enforcement agencies are increasingly drowning in data; the more that comes in, the harder it is to stay afloat. Most recently, the failure of the intelligence community to intercept the 2009 "underwear bomber" was blamed in large part on a surfeit of information: according to an official White House review, a significant amount of critical information was "embedded in a large volume of other data." Similarly, the independent investigation of the alleged shootings by U.S. Army Major Nidal Hasan at Fort Hood concluded that the "crushing volume" of information was one of the factors that hampered the FBI's analysis before the attack.
Multiple security officials have echoed this assessment. As one veteran CIA agent told The Washington Post in 2010, "The problem is that the system is clogged with information. Most of it isn't of interest, but people are afraid not to put it in." A former Department of Homeland Security official told a Senate subcommittee that there was "a lot of data clogging the system with no value." Even former Defense Secretary Robert Gates acknowledged that "we've built tremendous capability, but do we have more than we need?" And the NSA itself was brought to a grinding halt before 9/11 by the "torrent of data" pouring into the system, leaving the agency "brain-dead" for half a week and "[unable] to process information," as its then-director Gen. Michael Hayden publicly acknowledged.
National security hawks say there's a simple answer to this glut: data mining. The NSA has apparently described its computer systems as having the ability to "manipulate and analyze huge volumes of data at mind-boggling speeds." Could those systems pore through this information trove to come up with unassailable patterns of terrorist activity? The Department of Defense and security experts have concluded that the answer is no: There is simply no known way to effectively anticipate terrorist threats.

katfastkatfurious: Just so we're clear, recipes really should...
i keep reading this as double cracker cake
Just so we're clear, recipes really should require more than 'box of cake mix oh and some random add ons'.
Also, since when do mini-marshmallows look like glass blocks
and Angel what the fuck did you do to that poor cake.
Only because I remember Jules loves Cracker Jacks, I challenge him to make that cake.
…
Also I'm super weirded out by the pic they used for Daredevil. Matt why?
Even my "father" was amazed Tuvok was Black. He wasn't even gonna watch Voyager, neither way I.
He said it, “He Black? Gotta watch it. Got to.”
Believe me
After DS9
We both fully believed they’d never let us have anything again.
Of course, they were pretty right.
Wasn’t nothing as dark as Tuvok running around with a name on Voyager.
I know a lot of people like Voyager
Voyager wasn’t for me.
Voyager would have been for me if Janeway had been a Black Woman
TNG was for me.
They weren’t just up front, they were in the background too.
DS9 was everything. It was EVERYTHING.
If only it had continued.
After DS9 I guess they said they had enough.
I guess they had enough cause the cast certainly kept getting whiter and the Blacks sure did keep getting lighter.
…
We were in Space
We just weren’t in Space, you know
That’s what it was
We could even be the Captain
We could be the most IMPORTANT person on the ship
NOT JUST THE SHIP
We could run the WHOLE SPACE STATION
We were civilians
Jake wanted to be a reporter
Restaurants, Cargo Ships
And then you know, Voyager
I mean fuck, I just thought they could only be White
But there were Black Vulcans
Can you believe it, I believed it.
It didn’t matter that he wasn’t my favorite character, you know
I wanted more about Harry Kim, I wanted more about the Borg Children and Chakotay and I really loved all the exploration
But I had to watch
Black people on tv? If there’s time to do it, oh you’ve got to watch it. That’s just the way it was.
That’s the way it is, if there’s time to do.
We don’t get anything. We don’t get Nothing.
Those shows were giving me the future.
It’s not just that one episode, but that one episode
Shit, that should have been the end of it right there
That episode shut it down.
It said everything about everything, even how I feel now.
They stay denying us, but they cannot deny our reality, the things we make real.
That we are real.
Oh man
sourcedumal: alexandraerin: This episode was directed by Avery...
This episode was directed by Avery Brooks, who played Benjamin Sisko/Benny Russell. The producers said this:
"We don't like that combination [of having a heavily featured actor also directing], because it's very hard to direct yourself. However, this was a story about racism and prejudice and we felt very strongly that it would be wrong if it came from a bunch of people who didn't necessarily know about that experience. We knew that it was imperative to the story and imperative to the integrity of television for it to be done right."
Avery Brooks himself cautions people against taking this episode as a story of how awful thing were so long ago and how things have changed for the better, saying "If we had changed the people's clothes, this story could be about right now."
This damn episode.
DAMN
GODDAMN
The whole series. The whole series.
The whole damn series. That's just how important it was.
