Wed, 21 Apr 2021 18:33:38 -0400

When Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all three charges surrounding his murder of George Floyd, the conversation found on Tumblr (and elsewhere online) reflected two major points:
This is not justice being served. There is no justice in the face of murder, and if there were, it certainly would not be found within the American carceral system. The verdict stemming from this trial will not stop the violence and oppression Black people face at the hands of an over-policed country.
“Black people don’t need reminders that Chauvin’s guilty verdict doesn’t mean the fight is over. It’s okay to celebrate small victories.”
These truths are not at odds with each other. They can, and will, co-exist.
Take a moment today to celebrate George Floyd and his beautiful family. Keep his little daughter in your mind and hearts. If you want to feel a bit of relief that at least one person was found guilty for their hateful, heinous crime—please do so. And then remember that it was just one person. Remember that if you are an ally and an accomplice, you must not stop learning. You must not stop fighting for real justice.
Accountability for police killings is rare:
Since 2005, 140 law enforcement officers have been arrested for on-duty manslaughter and murder. Only 8—5%—have been convicted.
And that doesn’t account for the 98% of police killings where there were no arrests for murder or manslaughter.
Black people are three times more likely to be killed by police
And then yesterday, roughly one hour after Nancy Pelosi thanked George Floyd for “sacrificing” his “life for justice,” police in Columbus, Ohio shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant.
That is not what justice looks like.
Rest in power, George Floyd.
Rest in power, Ma’Khia Bryant.

Rest in power.

Well, we were gonna talk about aliens today, but then we took a speedy peep at the ol’ calendar, and there it was. April 13.

Today marks fifteen years (15!) since a small, seemingly ordinary rodent took to the keys and banged out the tunes—in what can only be described as a bid to steal our hearts. And boy, did he! Some of us weren’t even here yet. Neil was, though, and has continued to sprinkle this day with rainbow-colored glee each year ever since. It’s time, again, to celebrate this tiny, weeny, funky ratty and your love for him. Take it away, Neil!

Oh hello. Here again, are we?

Meanwhile, we’ve been unmasked as *checks notes* chaos-cloaked, feral, AI-controlled cryptoid clowns. That was everything, was it? Excellent, we’ll accept this as lore. *Turns around to the back of the olde shoppe* Watkins! Put that in The Book™!

Speaking of lore—ᴛʀᴜᴛʜꜱ, as it were—have you ever thought about how incorrect quotes might be tiny skewed mirror-worlds? Intrepidly chronicled adjacent alternative realities? Or, fine, whatever, it’s all ‘just’ fandom. Where’s your sense of joy?

Whichever rings true for you, here are some of the wild things you’ve imagined beloved fictional characters saying to each other.

Maybe you think a ship is problematic, but ask yourself this: is it wedged sideways in the suez canal disrupting 12% of global maritime trade?

Hello Tumblr, it’s Tuesday. We interrupt our regular broadcast to review all the 𝓯𝓮𝓮𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓼 you’ve been having about the misfortune of a 20,124 TEU capacity cargo ship…yep, yeah, it’s all Suez-related. All of it.

It’s been almost a week since we all became experts in maritime trade, and the boat is back on track. Whether you want her returned to the place she has won in your hearts, or you’re just glad she’s on her merry way, we’ve collected some of the chaos for eternity. Or until the internet implodes, and the world-as-we-know-it ends, and the concepts of ships, sh*tposting, and international trade are lost in the dry void of a boatless civilization. This is your H3RC EVER GIVEN heritage collection.

Did you all have a good rest? Did you do as you were told and log off? Nope. Of course you didn’t, you horrible hounds. What’s the big idea? We tell you to go to sleep. You ignore us. We ask you nicely. You ignore us.

Anyway, it’s National Puppy Day. And to show you that we do actually have your best interests at heart and aren’t always telling you what to do—even if it is for your own good—we invite you, if you please, to enjoy these cute fluffy dogs.

The events that unfolded over the past 24 hours in Atlanta were not isolated incidents. Hate crimes against Asian Americans have increased nearly 150% in the US in the last year.

Last June, in the wake up of yet another uprising in hate crimes committed by white supremacists, we released the following statement:

White supremacists, Nazis, and other purveyors of hate can fully fuck off. They are not welcome here.

These words are as true today as they were then. We stand with the Asian American community. If you see hate speech on Tumblr, please report it. That shit is not tolerated here.

To help the survivors and families of yesterday’s hate crimes, please consider donating to a nonprofit like the Atlanta branch of Asian Americans Advancing Justice if you can. If you can’t, consider spreading the word. We’ll list more resources and reblogs over on @action as we find them.

As always, please make sure you are taking care of yourself as well. If you’re struggling for any reason, please reach out to any of the free and confidential counseling services listed here.

Oof, another week that’s already been a year, and it’s only Tuesday. We’re in the eleventh year of the year twenty-twenty-one. That’s enough to make anyone tired.

Here’s some anime ambiance to get you in the mood for a snooze ahead of World Sleep Day on Friday—why should Friday have all the fun? So snuggle up and log off. And remember, rest is a form of resistance. Enjoy it. You deserve it.

Happy wlw, Tumblr. Yes, that’s right, we’re celebrating the iconic women you love, who (could) love iconic women you love, in the stories you love. If that sounds like something you might…love, then come bask in this excellent wlw art made by artists who also, we presume, love women. Winner.

Hello from yet another Tuesday—yup, they just keep comin’ don’t they.

We are not going to talk about the fact that it’s This Month again, but we are going to talk about women. In honor of Women’s History Month, here is some breathtaking art that celebrates women in all their power.

(Pssst: If you want more Women’s History Month content on your dash, head over to @celebrate where we’re, y’know, celebrating.)

If you’ve not made at least one My Beloved GIF and reblogged at least five others, are you even living?

Oh no. Oh dear. You’ve all been busy trapping your beloveds in heart lockets—fandoms, objects, this tiny shrew that’s being picked up. They’re neat because you can put anything in there. I don’t know how it works—magic or something.

Anyway, it is important that these be preserved. Don’t ask questions. Our hands are tied. So here’s a bunch of corny hearts that open and close and open and close and sometimes don’t open at all.

♥️ Stay weird, little ratties ♥️

Thank you especially for 14 years of completely normal memories. You get an extra ten minutes in the ball pit if you can make a bingo.
