America can’t even send proper aid to its own people, you think they will send aid to Palestine 🙃
The way they are saying that Palestinians are “stealing” food and supplies from a warehouse just like how they called Black people “looters” during Katrina. Literally every hateful thing that has been happening within the US, the US is doing to people all over the world

Rest in power to Jason David Frank (1973- 2022) What I admired about him was that he embraced the Tommy Oliver character, the Power Rangers legacy and he didn’t take the fans for granted. Thank you for being a part of my childhood.

not sure how to feel about celebrities moving to tumblr... on one hand folks rejecting Elon’s tyranny and bolstering a platform that actually promotes democratization of speech is great. (on tumblr there are no blue checks or visible follower counts. you ride or die through the strength of your takes alone.) on the other hand get off my lawn. I am hissing like an irate goose

HBO Max: so basically we're going to erase most of our shows as a tax dodge in a week and you can't stop us
A Youtuber who makes two hour long & strangely ominous video essays about Lost Media: it'll all be on Archive dot org by the end of the week you son of a bitch. Also the forbidden original pilot of Caillou and the French dub of the long sought after August 27th, 2001 Spongebob bumpers
Lost Media Indiana Jones swiping the last copy of Batgirl from the CEO of Discovery and shouting "it BELONGS on Archive dot org and sketchy torrent sites!"
This is all fine from a consumer perspective but it utterly screws creators.
Did you know that if a company writes off your show or movie, you don't get residuals from it anymore?
If I were a creator, I'd rather my stuff be pirated than become lost media and cease to exist entirely. Just throwing that out there.
On Twitter after the HBO Max shitshow, showrunners were literally begging archivists to pirate their shows in order to preserve them. I don't have screenshots on hand, but Owen Dennis of Infinity Train and all the crew of Summer Camp Island come immediately to mind.
Like, at this point, the creators have already been screwed. The networks are hanging them out to dry. This isn't a "if you pirate it, it doesn't get renewed" situation, this is a "if you DON'T pirate it, it might become completely lost" situation.
It's like how the original 1931 Frankenstein movie had scenes cut from the completed film by censors under the Hays Code. The original film wasn't rediscovered until the 1980s, and then only because someone had stashed away an original copy somewhere.
Media piracy and media preservation are two sides of the same coin, and there's not really a universal code of ethics that can be applied. Sometimes piracy is a gray area. Sometimes it's vital.
Remember kids: there's a difference between owning a pirated copy and distributing something you don't have the rights for. Putting physical media in the mail, keeping them in your house or carrying them on your person is pretty much undetectable without a search warrant. Preserve things you love, share them with your friends irl like we used to do back when the internet was slower.
There are lost tapes and lost/damaged dubs all over Europe that might have survived ww2 if there had been more copies. Keep copies of the things you love.

Someone will say something reasonable like "TERFS shouldn't be welcome at pride celebrations because they commit hate crimes against trans people regularly"
And then terfs will say "Actually that's homophobic why are you saying lesbians shouldn't go to pride."
Like fuck that. Fuck that. Lesbian does not equal terf.
what hate crimes do terfs commit?
Lmao surely
Surely someone with this username is asking this in good faith and not as a sealion question
*reads what that person said*
Bffr. 😒
Trying to calm down and not speak out of anger is a balancing act that I think I'm failing miserably at, no matter how hard I try.

“Black Boys Bloom Thorns First: Volume 4, Chapter 30″
Need to catch up? Masterlist HERE.
“Little ghetto boy Playing in the ghetto street Whatcha’ gonna do when you grow up And have to face responsibility?
Will you spend your days and nights in the pool room? Will you sell caps of madness to the neighborhood? Little ghetto boy You already know how rough life can be ‘Cause you’ve seen so much pain and misery”
Lalah Hathaway – “Little Ghetto Boy”
The last time the cops ever picked Erik Stevens up was while visiting his Grandpop in Oakland during a D.C. extended school break. He stood on a street corner with an older group of boys near a convenience store and sipped beer from the forty of a 69 Mob gang member. Toked on some weed while leaning on the handlebars of his Mongoose BMX bike that his Uncle Bakari sent for his fifteenth birthday during spring break. He hung furry dice from it as the hood boys did to their lowriders with the spinning rims. High as all get out, he traded insults with the other loiters and watched girls walk timidly by across the street with their downcast eyes, hoping none of the feral, posturing masculinity near them catcalled or bothered them. When Erik was around, the older heads left the women and girls alone. There were still stories floating around of his father brutalizing two men at a spot down the street because of harassment.
