PSA: never discuss private affairs in your DMs, especially contraception and abortion. Social media moguls will absolutely sell you out to the government. There are already cases of people being charged based on evidence in their DMs.

@thevaguestoffeeling You’re absolutely right.

If you are part of a vulnerable group – LGBT+, ethnic minority, women, religious minority, teen, anyone – do not think they won’t hand your DMs to a government looking to persecute you. Yes, including feckin’ Tumblr.

i figured this was common knowledge, but in case you don’t know – NO social media messaging service like this is safe to discuss such things. i’ve heard signal is good and i know it has a great reputation, but never ever ever trust a company to not hand over your data and DMs in a heartbeat

The books are back!

A screenshot from Detective L of a cluttered bookshelf. The back of a man's head is visible in the foreground.ALT

Detective L is set in 1930s Republic-era French Concession Shanghai, so these colorful trade paperbacks are a bit anachronistic… but I had to giggle and screenshot them anyway because some of these are the exact same books that populate the SID library in Guardian. So once again we have Bai Yu (that’s the back of his head there) facing a shelf full of such classics as Glowienka, IMPKPIAL CROWN, and my favorite, AbCDE 123.

(Based on the exteriors, I’m positive both series were shot at Shanghai Chedun Film Park, so it would make sense to have sourced their set properties from the same stock. Some of these books might literally be the same copies used in Guardian.)

Since the r-slur is making a comeback (you know, the word that starts with R, has six letters, and ends in D), I’m gonna make a little PSA:

  1. Yes, it’s an ableist slur.
  2. Terms like “asshat,” “head-up-ass,” “up their own ass,” and “high on their own farts” exist. There’s also words like crap, dogshit, half-assed, assclown, and chucklefuck. And on the less vulgar side, there are terms like ridiculous, nonsense, train wreck, pointless, insipid, self-absorbed, pretentious, annoying, boring, contemptible, vile, and disgusting.
  3. Substituting words like restarted, poptarted, brain damaged, smoothbrain, etc. is still ableist, because either 1. you obviously still mean the r-word, or 2. you’re still using disability as an insult.

I would just like to point out that Julius Caesar was 55 years old when he died. This means he survived FIFTY-FOUR Marches over the course of his life. Statistically he was actually VERY GOOD at surviving March.

Ides of March Georg is an outlier adn should not have been-
