There is a saying, "You can't fool an honest man," which is much quoted by people who make a profitable living by fooling honest men. Moist never tried it, knowingly anyway. If you did fool an honest man, he tended to complain to the local Watch, and these days they were harder to buy off. Fooling dishonest men was a lot safer and, somehow, more sporting. And, of course, there were so many more of them. You hardly had to aim.

ELIMINATE RISK THEN MAXIMIZE REWARDS

Friendly reminder that if you talk about how representation is important and how there's not enough diverse media, I implore you to seek out the media that already exists. And if you live in an area with a public library, go to see if they're available at your public library. And then go check them out.
As a librarian, it is demoralizing to see how low the circulation statistics are on lgbt+ books and books by BIPOC authors. I include them in displays and readers advisory, but people still don't check them out as much. Libraries only have a finite amount of resources, including space. We don't get a book then keep it forever. If not enough people check it out, we have to get rid of it to make room for more books. And when James Patterson Book #69 gets checked out 30 times in one year and cool, subversive Sci fi novel with a Black trans woman main character has never been checked out once, the librarian (me) has to make a hard decision.
If you're looking for something tangible and easy to do this pride month, look for lgbt+ books (there are millions of lists online that you can find. It's easier than it's ever been to find diverse books) and check them out from your library.
No time to read? Look for a short story or poetry anthology and just read as much as you have time for. Or just check out a book cus it looks interesting and read as much as you can. We have movies too.
As cool as it would be for me to just keep the books I want and get rid of the ones I don't, I have to listen to the community on matters of collection development. And the community tells me what books they want by checking them out and leaving the ones they don't want on the shelf.
If you think this doesn't apply to you because you live in a progressive area and obviously the books are being checked out, you're wrong. I once worked in a community with a large lgbt population. Those books were not getting checked out. If you want to tell me you live in a conservative area and your library doesn't have any diverse books, you are legally obligated to check the catalog before replying to this post. I currently work in a conservative community and we have lgbt+ and bipoc books. And if you still cannot find any, you are legally obligated to see if your library has a collection request form that patrons can fill out before replying to this post.

i'm gonna guess that recently you've come to the conclusion that TMA fandom has died down enough that you can finally start letting loose with the hot takes that back in 2020 would have been like dropping a nuclear bomb in the fandom tag leaving it inhospitable to life for three generations
maybe so.
#I've been ramping it up gently for the last few years but truly the risk is now at an all time low#like okay watch this: I don't actually think you need to put peter and elias into a ship quarantine zone where they can only date each othe#their textual relationships with most people are already toxic and I don't think it's made any Worse by saying#'and after this conversation they kissed.' that's just the same relationship but with kissing involved.#tma#answered#anons

what circumstances would allow bill to pick up his world-domination plans again, it couldn't be when dipper and him fight cuz that would make his mortal angrier, so when dipper has been in a great mood for a few decades? but also older and more or less unable to stop bill if he reallyyyy wanted too. or has bill given up entirely and convinced himself he's just 'waiting for when dipper stops reincarnating or smth' but he's never gonna stop so bill's never gonna conquer his universe?
what if dipper reincarnates into an already conquered universe? everything is to ruin and his family, The Pines, seem to be the only one's left standing in the revolution, actually only ones standing periodt. now that i think abt it the only time bill could get away with taking over the universe with no one to stop him is dipper's reincarnation period and prob the same events as Gravity falls with gideon n stuff
Conquering the world is grounds for their marriage contract being cancelled. Bill's not gonna give that a try anytime soon, unless he's somehow in the mood for an enraged husband with a solid case for Divorce. He's probably relegated the whole business to a shrugging 'eh, I'll get to it eventually'. Nevermind that 'eventually' might never arrive!
That's not to say other worlds are quite as well off, since they're still fair game for Bill Shenanigans! But at least Bill's too busy and easily bored/distracted to really knuckle down like he was planning to on Earth.
#answers#But yeah if he wanted to do it it'd have to be during one of the intervals where DIpper's Dead#So he'd be able to on a technicality! Just with a huge risk of Consequences™️ from a Very Pissed human who doesn't care about those#In the meantime Bill's got plenty of places to have his 'fun' with! Guy's gotta have a hobby after all!#Dipper turns a blind eye towards most of it since Bill's at least Easily Bored enough that he doesn't stick around TOO long in any one plan#Though you bet your ass he's done his fair share of Thwarting on the down-low

how are you planning to engage in community care and activism in the coming days/weeks? (mask blocs, food distribution, etc etc)
#locking in on building my shops union power and settling this contract before trump has a chance to gut the NLRB#comitting myself to covid caution and fulfilling work over quick dopamine hit high risk events#joining my local food not bombs for weekly cooking for the community#getting into this pre dental track w the goal of providing care to low income and unhoused ppl

Every time YouTube nonsense happens I'm always like "I can't wait to see what Sergle says about this" because you're the only person I follow that talks about YouTube nonsense.
Please take this is an invitation for you to talk about the Watcher's apology video lol
I am a filthy youtube enjoyer so you can absolutely count on me and GODDDDDDDDDDD... I mean the apology is not NEARLY as funny as the blunder, so it hasn't kept my attention as much but like the obligatory upfront thing is that, like, it is good that they posted it, they apologized for being insensitive and whatever, they're not scraping their channel clean or going forward with their old plan to only post their shows on their own platform, and these are technically good and correct things, because they could have pretended not to notice all the negative feedback. So like, responding is good. BUT LIKE I HAVE QUESTIONS NOW... Because they took SO LONG to film and upload a video that basically is just "we fucked up, we're sorry, we're not gonna do that anymore", which doesn't exactly take a writer's room several days to cook, but I DIGRESS... They were quiet for long enough for everyone to LOOK REALLY CLOSE. After the initial reaction, people had time to do some pretty comprehensive cost breakdowns for their stuff, and for what they have to be pulling in from adsense, sponsored segments, patreon, merch, and touring Like, they'd need to be really mismanaging their finances, because they're doing very well for themselves, making good, stable money, and the vids they make are super duper advertiser friendly. SO... you take long enough without putting out a holder statement or a quick heel-turn apology or anything, it gives people more time to get comfortable with not liking you, and also to dig around and google things about you, or scrape up info/trivia about you to corroborate their new opinion of you. It gets personal, is what I mean. So pulling this move has still, at BEST, caused some permanent damage to their relationships with fans, in both directions. They all got a huge flood of negative feedback, and even a perfect, emotionally mature, non-entitled person would have a negative reaction to people being upset with them at such a high volume. But now they're gonna remember the things that people have said about them, and there's no way that at the very least, Steven isn't gonna feel spiteful about this. People TOTALLY unloaded on him (funny) (valid) about his evangelical christian conservative leaning tesla privileged out of touch boy gold flaked ice cream eating ways. He definitely is going to remember that ppl said they never liked him in the first place. As for Ryan and Shane, people didn't have any dirt on them, but they definitely still received a lot of angry messages from people, most of which will have been reasonable, but they're gonna remember the really really mean and intense ones. Anyway, they made a booboo dumb enough for jack to want to make a skit about it, so for that I'm very grateful, because I thought it was really really fucking funny
youtube
#it's no big deal and it's whatevs because it's Low Risk youtube scandal which is why I like it so much#but it still never fails to amaze me how much this didn't need to happen#like this would have been a totally preventable blunder. I can think of a million different ways to increase profit before trying this move#personally I think it's funny to mess up this badly because the Second Messup would be to respond REALLY quickly#You see it trending and you immediately need to act bc it will only get worse the longer you stay quiet#sergle answers#long post
