one more thing. please, remember that Russia has its spies lurking everywhere on the internet. and i'm not saying this as in "watch out, mr. Bond, they're after you!", it's more as in "remember they were able to tilt the US election and destabilize the whole western society by spreading misinformation on Facebook".

we are joking about Tumblr being dead, but it's not. we're here. and with us, porn bots are still here. nazis are still here. and with them, pro-russia figures and anons will always be here too.

and just to be clear, what i'm saying is NOT to suddenly harrass and block all russian people on this website.

what i'm saying is to

1) watch your back.

2) always check your facts.

3) don't trust just anyone and don't trust just anything you read here.

4) i know it's tiring, but if you can, correct misinformation.

you can make fun of Facebook anti-vaxxers and qanons as you want, but Tumblr people are extremely prone to believe the first thing they read in here just because someone says "i'm Ukrainian, so i know what's going on!"

check your facts. question everything. don't give in to the Russian propaganda. not this time.

Gonna take this opportunity to remind everyone that screenshots are not facts. Not looking up if a screenshot is of a real tweet or article is allowing yourself to be complacent. Checking and adding links is good self-training and a signal to Russian (and other) trolls that you can’t be propagandized to easily. Make basic fact checking a habit, and if you’re making your own posts, always include source links.

In order to create the Greatest Swordfight in Modern Times, Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin trained for months with Peter Diamond and Bob Anderson, who between them had been in the Olympics; worked on Bond, Lord of the Rings, Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), and Star Wars films; and coached Errol Flynn and Burt Lancaster. Every spare moment on set was spent practicing. Eventually, when they showed Rob Reiner the swordfight for the movie, he was underwhelmed and requested that it be at least three minutes long rather than the current one minute. They added steps to the set, watched more swashbuckling movies for inspiration, re-choreographed the scene, and ended up with a three minute and 10 second fight which took the better part of a week to film from all angles.

The Princess Bride (1987) dir. Rob Reiner
