Hey friends, can we tag for the “let’s break up Google” discourse? I recommend #hatred of the good for being the good, but really anything reliable will do
sure! I’ll tag it #StateOwnedEnterprisesWithAmericanCharacteristics
Alright, that’s it, we’re sending you back to the factory where they make the owls. This is too much.
Today’s misread: “after being impregnated by Alice Walker’s book, The Color Purple” for “after being inspired by Alice Walker’s book, The Color Purple”
Oh my goodness.
I didn’t know Half-Literature was even a template in D&D.
Now I have to apply it to all of my monsters.

I’m feeling nostalgic for a system I never ever used.
I think one could make a decent case the Verizon should turn Tumblr into the social networking non-profit similar to Mozilla is for web browsers where Tumblr would embrace compatibility and open standards for social networking. Tumblr is unlikely to become profitable because its user bases is not rich and the nsfw content tends to scare advertisers. Verizon runs many content businesses which could be harmed if Facebook captures the entire attention market. By encouraging a commodification of social networking through open standards, more of the customers money/attention will be available for the content businesses.
I’m not sure many people would donate to Tumblr though.
there might be other revenue possibilities besides advertising, a Patreon-style system, perhaps
Hold on, a Patreon-like system built into Tumblr?
I have no idea what the effects of that would be, but given the number of artists and other content creators on Tumblr…

that’s not even much of a diversion: over-the-top selfish megalomaniacs who employ colorfully psychologically broken characters in order to pursue sinister goals like world domination because they can’t get past their own emotions, operating shadowy organizations, who continually execute their underlings for failure, and who continually make sub-optimal decisions out of a sense of showmanship?
the only real difference between Queen Beryl and Ernst Stavro Blofeld is what tools they have available to them

No. I’m having too much fun.
Sometimes we’ll get “look, straight neurotypical women don’t *really* want a man that will perform masculinity, her boyfriend is wearing a pink shirt!” but then the dude is tall, buff, and confident, and he works in construction - the kind of man for whom a pink shirt shows that he is so masculine that wearing a pink shirt doesn’t harm his aura of masculinity, and thus further proves his masculinity.
Local man finds another way to say “countersignalling masculinity” in more words
Real men wear pink and take estradiol!
So what you’re saying is that Rationalist Tumblr is actually really, really manly?
Do we need to get lifting shirts made? The barbell kind, not the petty-crime-as-a-hobby kind.
