swifties and the american left have a lot in common

this is so real...they don't even know about the constant infighting

[glitterandtrash]

ttpd is still so good y'all. aged like fine wine

[glitterandtrash]

this is my favorite star trek moment

I know there are gifsets of this but I haven't been able to find the full experience so I wanted to provide it

[glitterandtrash]

that’s how you get clean 😭

It’s always the last little combined lyric at the end of the piano mashup that’s the most lethal

[glitterandtrash]

i said stop drawing？yes I did,but i have zero self-control

plus I saw this meme↑

antisemitism and islamophobia are not opposites; they very often go together. you do not cure one with the other. if you hear rhetoric to the contrary, ask yourself: who does this serve?

[glitterandtrash]

thank god anything at all useful is being torn down and made illegal so that the computer can just be a box you turn on to watch ads for fake phone games

I just rewatched Angel and now I’m rewatching Buffy (on season 1). I’m so mad that not only did he destroy her character, he hurt Charisma Carpenter so much. She’s a real person, asshole. Your art is not more important than people feeling safe in the workplace.

Cordelia Chase deserved so much better.

lol okay

yeah totally

the crimes he did to cordy/angel and wesley/fred will never be forgiven

(and the real life shit too obviously I’m just dramatic)

Just read a quote by Joss Whedon (an old one from the Buffy era) complaining that people don’t like it when fictional characters have happy and healthy relationships. And it’s like oh, honey, do people not like that, or are you just bad at writing it?

well, I’m devastated. I’m an archives student and IA is my absolute favorite thing. it just does so much for us. so much of the research I do on there is from 20-30 year old out of print books. how is that hurting publishers? they’re *out of print*.

heartbreaking news. between this, tougher crackdown on illegal tv streaming sites (kimcartoon has just permanently gone down), coming after scanlation sites, and the general moral panic around AI having people actually root for wider nets and stricter enforcement of copyright/ip law, i have a feeling the state of art and media online is going to get much much worse.

the precedent this sets for what people are allowed to do with physical print books they own is absolutely horrible, since there is nothing the Internet Archive loaned out that they didn't have a 1:1 legally acquired physical copy of before digitizing.

“This appeal presents the following question: Is it ‘fair use’ for a nonprofit organization to scan copyright-protected print books in their entirety, and distribute those digital copies online, in full, for free, subject to a one-to-one owned-to-loaned ratio between its print copies and the digital copies it makes available at any given time, all without authorization from the copyright-holding publishers or authors? Applying the relevant provisions of the Copyright Act as well as binding Supreme Court and Second Circuit precedent, we conclude the answer is no,” the decision states. [...] “This characterization confuses IA’s practices with traditional library lending of print books. IA does not perform the traditional functions of a library; it prepares derivatives of Publishers’ Works and delivers those derivatives to its users in full,” the court held. “Whether it delivers the copies on a one-to-one owned-to-loaned basis or not, IA’s recasting of the Works as digital books is not transformative.”

i hope all of the authors who went to bat for taking books away from the public don't know a moment of peace for the rest of their careers lol. i hope it was worth solidifying the publishing industry's grip on the entire sphere of literature just to get a few extra royalty pennies in your pockets.

these men aren’t straight

[ID: 11 gifs from season 3, episode 22 “explorers” from the tv series “star trek: deep space nine”, the gifs show miles o'brien and julian bashir inside o'brien's personal quarters. they are both drunk. julian is seated on the couch, and miles is on a chair behind the couch.

1st gif: "unless she really ignored you because she can't stand you." miles tells julian and then keeps laughing to himself.

2nd gif: miles is still laughing while julian says, "isn't there some explanation in between?"

3rd gif: miles stops laughing and sits up, he tells julian, "well... you're not an in-between kind of guy." and julian asks him, "what do you mean?"

4th gif: "well, people either love you or hate you." miles tells him matter of fact, he is holding a snack with his fingers. julian has turned to face miles, "really?"

5th gif: "i mean, i hated you when we first met." miles tells julian, pointing towards himself and chewing on his snack. "i remember." julian replies.

6th gif: miles leans back in his chair, "but now..." he trails off chewing his snack, and eating the one in his hand.

7th gif: the camera cuts to julian as he turns his head to look at miles once more. "and now?" he prompts him.

8th gif: the camera cuts to miles, he turns his head to look towards julian, he tells him, "well... now i don't." then looks ahead once more and goes to eat more of his snacks.

9th gif: the camera cuts to julian as he turns his head to look ahead. he is nodding while telling miles, "that means a lot to me, chief. it really does."

10th gif: miles leans over the couch, he tells julian, "really! now... that is from the heart, huh?" julian is nodding as he speaks and he pushes his fist against julian's shoulder to stress his words.

11th gif: julian turns to look at miles who continues talking, "huh? i really do. not hate you anymore." miles seems surprised with the realisation as well. /end ID]

Happy birthday to my favourite blorbo. May he have all the pineapple he wants. ❤️

I'm not much of an artist, so the boy is traced but it was a lot of fun making this.

why is being a hot fangirl not something that makes money. fuck capitalism

if I can’t find a job in archives I’m fucked

please husband get job you interviewed for today

your hot fangirl wife needs money 😘

disability rights involves the right to do fuck all. the right to be a useless member of society and STILL be loved and cared for and have a fair standard of living. human beings are not defined by the capital we produce.
