"they blocked me and i never even said anything to them" buddy i have some bad news about how many people can perceive your behavior in a public setting
this is a common question and the answer is that a lot of companies actually do track piracy numbers when it comes to gauging interest in an IP so if you really want to send the message that Harry Potter is toxic: no, you should not pirate it either
Pantuso@pantuso.com · 2d agoWhat about piracy?
As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

When there are multiple stories about data centers simply building gas turbines without permits, PROVING they can’t be trusted, you’d be a fool to trust them. This is not paranoia, it’s pragmatism.
Anil Dash@anildash.com · 2d agoI'll add some nuance here — most local pushback against data centers is actually quite fluent, and not grounded in the more wild-eyed rhetoric you see on social media. Very often, the core premise is a simple, correct one: you can't trust what Big Tech says in its promises to a local community.
Lil update on the stuff that's left! Please get it out of my house! I've also still got a few plushies that are listed alongside the youtooz. ko-fi.com/rainydaydeer... #HazbinHotel
Real talk: Don't know who needs to hear this but there's absolutely nothing wrong about being enthusiastic about your interests/hobbies. Life's too short to not talk about things you enjoy in earnest. The world's too cruel for u to hold back the joy you could be putting into it.
books can be about bad people. the characters are not your friends. the protagonist is not you.
Aaaand here we go! Thank you for everyone who suggested one! And sorry I couldn't do them all ;a; This was v fun tho! All the AUs are next to the expressions, which may or may not be important to you! It's important to me lmao #Rapunzel #Jafar #Mozenrath #Mozepunzel
As kindly as possible OP, I'm not responsible for your triggers. I don't know you. Expecting artists to censor themselves for your personal comfort is parasocial. I express my mental health through my art, sometimes it's positive quotes, vent art, or dark humor.

I watched a good little documentary about Tim Curry's roles a few months ago. I hadn't known about his stroke and difficult recovery but it was so great seeing him ham it up about his prior work and behind the scene stories. youtu.be/XzU8f4HaQw0?...
The Muppets Brought Out the Best in Tim Curry

Tim Curry and Dolly passing in the same week, rough time in particular for homosexuals of a certain age.
People calling the grief around Dolly Parton’s passing “celebrity worship” misunderstand that the appreciation and love for her was not for her status but for her actions, what she did for communities. And that’s what billionaires will seemingly never learn from
I think the universal grieving comes in no small part from the fact she represented the best of what America could be, and that she never stopped chasing that ideal, artistically and socially
I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.
