not even a full year apart... we stay silly :3 🐈

Labour having a normal one.

Guess older and disabled activists can go fuck themselves?

“Party of the workers for the workers” - don’t make us fucking laugh.

The union busting firms are scared

if you have a custom domain set, DO NOT UNTICK THE BUTTON on blog settings. you’re not allowed to add it back. (nope, that’s not mentioned anywhere on blog settings itself.) if you switch hosts and need to update nameservers, congrats! you’re fucked

custom domains were a feature that’s been available over a decade, but they’ve been unceremoniously removed. the idea of “legacy” domains is a joke

this is doubly egregious because they absolutely could be selling domains for people that don’t have one, while still allowing those of us that already had a domain to keep using ours. they also don’t even allow you to pay to use your own. so if someone bought a domain specifically to use on tumblr, if they accidentally untick the button then poof! they’re fucked because they can’t re-buy their own domain from tumblr 

it’s honestly pathetic how much of a transparent cash grab this is at worst, and how badly implemented this was at best. this is what happens when you accept incompetency as a modus operandi bc “lol quirky hellsite”

i highly, HIGHLY recommend not investing in this feature due to that incompetency and lack of transparency

2D Legend of Zelda style game where the Princess gets sealed inside a giant crystal and the Hero has to save her, as one does, except the Hero manages to obtain the crystal at the end of the tutorial dungeon.

The bad news: nobody knows how to break the giant crystal without killing the Princess in the process.

The good news: the Princess is fully aware inside the giant crystal and can still use all of her Magic Princess Powers within a limited range.

(The Big Bad knows this, and tried to work around it by keeping her in a large empty room with nothing nearby for her to target. That didn't work out so well!)

The whole rest of the game is basically the Hero lugging this big stupid crystal around in order to bring the Princess within range so she can use her magic to actually solve the problem at hand.

The Hero plays basically like Link from a typical Zelda game, except all of the Hero's upgrades relate to making them a better crystal-carrier: throwing the crystal, teleporting to the crystal, doing an AoE attack that affects a line between them and the crystal, etc.

When you switch to playing as the Princess, you're both invulnerable and physically immobile, and the joystick moves your targeting reticle for your spells instead. Those spells are mostly puzzly environment-manipulation stuff with an elemental theme, plus some basic damaging blasts to discourage monsters who get too close. There are recurring sequences where the Hero is indisposed for some reason and you need to figure out how to use the Princess' spells to move her into position to solve the current puzzle and un-trap the hero by using environmental effects and contraptions to fling the crystal around.

(In the final battle, the Big Bad proves to be completely immune to both the Hero's weapons and the Princess' spells, and winning involves setting up some sort of Rube Goldberg sequence of events which causes the Princess to fall on the Big Bad's head from a great height, killing him instantly.)

The other day at pride, there was a girl with a shark plushie (blåhaj, small version), and she got my attention, held up her shark, pointed at the small keychain pendant shark plushie I had attached to my bag, and then booped it with her shark while going "boop". That was our entire interaction, and I think it was beautiful.

so there’s this older tv show i’m into 

(it aired when my parents were babies, it’s very much the kind of thing my granddad watches)

it’s based on true events, and like most stories based on true events, it fictionalises them a bit. characters are either fictional people playing the roles that real people played or are composites of real people

there is one exception to that, though - one character who is directly inspired by one real person. (they have the same name, it’s not subtle.) and the real person was actually a consultant on the show!

but here’s the thing. all of the fictionalised characters are, like, characters. they have quirks and flaws and foibles and political opinions. this guy, however…doesn’t. he’s bland as hell. he has no opinions and is completely neutral on all but the most basic politics. he doesn’t have flaws. he doesn’t have anything. he’s just blandly Heroic. and that’s prooooobably because they didn’t wanna piss off the real person this character was based on

so why is this in the doctor who tag? because that’s how i feel about the thirteenth doctor. poor jodie was trying her best, but thirteen doesn’t have the same kind of distinct identity like the other new who doctors. and i reckon that’s because dear old chibbers didn’t want to be blamed for making the First Female Doctor anything other than blandly likeable, so he didn’t give her a personality

it’s most evident in all the timeless child stuff, where everyone’s spending their time expositing at thirteen while she stands there making a surprised pikachu face. there’s no personality there, it’s all reaction, and not particularly interesting reaction either. and it’s such a waste!
