tumblr is voiding canon urls, and going after people who have them, apparently. i use a monitoring tools to monitor graveyard urls that i’d like to save (it sends you an email when something changes on the webpage, for example when it gets deleted). i still had an old alert on the bucky url, which, i knew who had that saved as a sideblog – suddenly it got a ‘not found’ error but was unsaveable.
tumblr is once again punishing its active users. my sideblog barnes (my previous url) had the exact same thing happen. here’s the email i got:
let’s get one thing straight: i got this url, and barnes, fair and square. i asked for them, and they were given to me. i didn’t even trade or buy, which is against community guidelines. i broke no rules to get these urls, and now my two fav urls that i had and was planning on using literally forever (like, until i decided to leave the platform, at which point i was planning on simply giving them away to people who would actually use them), and now i’m blog294732.
a stray cat showed up in my garden earlier and i named him todd howard as a joke but now i have to live with this because my stepfather just said “todd howard didnt eat the cat food i left out for him”
this is him
op are there any updates on todd?
yes ! todd lives with us now and hes incredibly friendly and affectionate, here he is taking a nap on my bed
he also has a tendency to steal food, he slapped a slice of bread out of my hands and ran away to eat it recently
There are a lot of times I feel like just…flipping the vegan script.
It’s not ‘polyester’ it’s plastic
It’s not ‘vegan leather’ it’s plastic
Its not ‘faux fur’ it’s plastic
Plastic is a pollutant and causes far more damage to the environment both now and in the future than leather or wool.
Please stop telling me that the Plastic Lyfe is the only life, it is not. My leather shoes will last a decade where pleather is lucky to last 12 months. Leather (and wool) decompose and are renewable. Plastic is neither of those.
THANK YOUUUUUUU~
A single wash cycle of plastic-based fiber (polyester, poly fleece, faux fur) may release 700,000 pieces of microplastic into our waters. Nasty stuff.
aw dangit
Wool is the most environmentally friendly fabric despite being an animal product.
Using wool isnt even harming sheep
Wool in different weights is also one of the best fabrics for different climates and if woven tightly water resistant. Which in turn means no harmful waterproofers needed on the cloth. Unless it’s something like bees wax. But felted is basically one of the best fabrics for cold weather. It self regulates temperature. Plastic? You bake in plastic. Even the lightweight stuff. I’ve worn full Elizabethan clothing in Florida and the worst bit was the poly brocade doublet. The wool dress and linen shift kept me cool.
A good farmer and this is most farmers do NOT harm their sheep shearing them and it benefits the sheep. So what would you have? An irreparably damaged planet full of plastic? Or happy sheep and decent cloth that won’t pollute once finished with?
this vine is one year old but everything about this is art. the camera rotates a full 180 degrees around a point. the child in the background misses an easy basketball shot then gets hit in the face in the face with a basketball. the fact that this kids name is semi. the fucking beat is three notes and semi kills that shit with one of the hottest bars dropped in this decade. ‘money add then multiply’ means that semi knows his fuckin shit but he doesnt know how to say mathematics. put this fucking vine on a cd so it can be looped by aliens 3000 years in the future
you missed the kid’s genius – he can spell mathematics, he goes an extra step, it’s (M)oney (A)dd (Th)en (M)ultiply, I call that MATHM-Mathematics
this post never dies and you know what? i hope it never does. long live Semi the King.
