WHEN WAS SOMEONE GONNA TELL ME THAT TUMBLR IS RUNNING ADS ON REDDIT RIGHT NOW???

honestly I don't regret any fandom I've ever participated in. That includes Homestuck, for the record. Because every fandom I've been a part of has left me with experiences and friends I would've never encountered otherwise, and that I still carry with me.

Like. I'm old. I know this is an established fact but I really am OLD. But even fandoms I experienced 20 years ago stick with me and left me with memories and relationships I still think about and treasure to this day. Invader Zim fandom introduced me to my first boyfriend, and while I turned out gay as fuck, I still treasure the time we spent together as friends and otherwise because he was a super rad guy. I don't regret meeting him for even a second. We might have lost touch nowadays, but I hope he's doing well out there, and I still think back on the memories of us hanging out at the mall and going to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory fondly.

shit I don't even really regret my time enjoying the shitty wizard books, because I was a literal child at the time and a very sheltered one-- I couldn't have possibly understood the issues with the books, and I don't blame myself for supporting someone I was incapable of understanding that I shouldn't support at the time. Of course, I've dropped that shit as an adult (and you should too), but I don't hold it against myself for having liked the series as a kid because I was literally just a kid and I was having fun. And I DID have fun and gained happy memories and positive experiences that stand out above the rough times that were about to happen a few years later. So of course, I in no way support or even like that series now, but I don't look back on my time enjoying it as a kid with any anger or shame at myself. I was a kid.

So anyway my point is: love is never wasted. Don't feel ashamed or embarrassed for having loved something.

New Things to Beware on the Internet

On May 3rd, Google released 8 new top-level domains (TLDs) -- these are new values like .com, .org, .biz, domain names. These new TLDs were made available for public registration via any domain registrar on May 10th.

Usually, this should be a cool info, move on with your life and largely ignore it moment.

Except a couple of these new domain names are common file type extensions: ".zip" and ".mov".

This means typing out a file name could resolve into a link that takes you to one of these new URLs, whether it's in an email, on your tumblr blog post, a tweet, or in file explorer on your desktop.

What was previously plain text could now resolve as link and go to a malicious website where people are expecting to go to a file and therefore download malware without realizing it.

Folk monitoring these new domain registrations are already seeing some clearly malicious actors registering and setting this up. Some are squatting the domain names trying to point out what a bad idea this was. Some already trying to steal your login in credentials and personal info.

This is what we're seeing only 12 days into the domains being available. Only 5 days being publicly available.

What can you do? For now, be very careful where you type in .zip or .mov, watch what website URLs you're on, don't enable automatic downloads, be very careful when visiting any site on these new domains, and do not type in file names without spaces or other interrupters.

I'm seeing security officers for companies talking about wholesale blocking .zip and .mov domains from within the company's internet, and that's probably wise.

Be cautious out there.

Noooo😭

The YouTube content creator community was wracked by macabre tragedy this morning after Amelia Bedelia was instructed to hang streamers for a six year old’s birthday party

Aliko Dangote, the richest man in Africa, has been tormented by a Brazilian man named Osvaldo for the last several years.

Haven't thought about hanahaki in a hot minute but consider for me if you will. Stobotnik.

Stone is the one who gets it and immediately sets about trying to make contingency plans for the Doctor for when he's gone. Setting up algorithms to take care of his inbox and scheduling appointments. Teaching the Badniks how to perfectly steam goats milk. Even going as far as holding interviews for potential replacements (and wow, does that go badly)

Confessing his love to the doctor doesn't even occur to him as a viable option.

Meanwhile Robotnik is very aware of what his sycophant is doing and he is Not happy about it. What, does he think he can just leave? He was HIS agent! He couldn't just give up on his duties to go and be in love with some mouth breather! When had he even found the time to develop such a disease - he didn't think Stone had a life outside of his work?

Him being the one Stone is in love with doesn't even occur to him as a viable option.

Eventually Robotnik confronts Stone, blowing up at him about abandoning his responsibilities for feeble human emotions and forbidding him from leaving. Stone tries to explain that he wasn't leaving by choice, but that he was dying and Robotnik cuts him off. He knew that! That wasn't an excuse! Whoever this... Person was, they weren't as important as the work they were doing here and he would just have to get the surgery. Honestly, letting this affect his work in this way was unprofessional-

Stone interrupted him with the roughest bout of coughing he'd had yet, causing Robotnik to actually falter and pause in his rant. It went on for an uncomfortable amount of time, Stone had turned to the side, leaning on the wall he'd pinned himself to, before weakly responding

"actually, doctor, the surgery would impact my work quite a bit..."

Crazy how even 5 years after i initially got into it klance fanart never ceases to make me squeal and kick my feet in delight
