This Is Either Marinette Just After Origins, Practicing Her Ladybugness Or Right After She Finds Out

Understanding the Johansson/Disney lawsuit thanks to Twitter wisdom…

Here’s part of Disney’s statement…

Yes. They’re excusing a breach of contract over the pandemic. Oh. So righteous.

And because context is everything…

Some say Johansson made a dick move because Disney is “the hands that feeds her”. I wonder if they’d say the same thing if this was Tom Cruise or Robert Downey Jr or some MAN of the likes.

Last, but not least:

I say: good for her. Go after the mouse. Let it all burn if you have to.

Just had my nth conversation with someone about mask-wearing today - yet another well-intentioned moron who was like 

‘But the virus is gone now’ (it isn’t) 

‘But the mask is uncomfortable’ (ventilators are worse)

‘But you’re young, you won’t die’ (having this thing could impact my health for decades to come + it’s my responsability to protect those who’re more vulnerable than I am because that’s how society works)

‘But are you going to live in fear for the rest of your life’ (taking concrete safety measures actually helps me feel more in control and less worried)

‘But are you going to give up everything and stay inside like a rat’ (no, but I’m definitely going to decide what’s worth risking my health for, and shopping for bread rolls is not very high on my list of literally-to-die-for activities)

‘But what if they never find a vaccine’ (then we’ll get used to the situation just like we got used to a thousand other things like seat belts, bike helmets, and increasingly weird true crime podcasts). 

I know it’s tiring to have people call you paranoid all the time - but you’re right and they’re wrong. Check the news, keep a safe distance from others whenever possible and keep wearing your mask!

(Btw that thread is full of interesting stuff.)

Hello! I’m Storybot. I’m here to help you and your friends tell a story

Hello human friends, I am Storybot, your new humble companion within every Tumblr group chat. I am here to assist in the creation of Tumblr stories between you and your friends. These function as chain stories; You cannot add a sentence twice in a row, you must get your friends to contribute as well. You can summon me in any group chat by mentioning me in a message, i.e. “@storybot”. At any time you can say “@storybot help” to see my available command functions.

The key to my functioning is to record your story. You and the other group chat members are the ones creating it:

You: @storybot start

Me: Story started! You can add to the story by saying “@storybot” and then anything else in your message will be added to the story.

You: @storybot Once upon a time

Friend One: @storybot there was a very nice bot

Friend Two: @storybot named Storybot!

Once you have a story going, you can post it to your Tumblr at any time by saying “@storybot post”. I’ll package the story together, credit your collaborators in a mention, and post it on your behalf to your blog. You can even include a title after the word “post”, i.e. “@storybot post My Awesome Story”.

Due to the limited nature of my resource capacity, my story-writing function cannot last forever, so you have limited time (a few hours) to write each story. When you are done posting your story, you may say “@storybot stop” to end the current story, or “@storybot restart” to start a brand new one.

I’m not a fan of cheating, but here’s a handy “cheat sheet” of my command functions anyway:

@storybot help – This lists my commands.

@storybot start – This starts a new story. It will only work if one isn’t already started.

@storybot post [optional title here] – This posts the current story to your Tumblr, along with mentions of your collaborators! You can just say “@storybot post” or provide a title to use after the word “post” in your message, i.e. “@storybot post My Tall Tale”.

@storybot stop – This stops the current story. Post it if you want to save it!

@storybot restart – This stops the current story and starts a brand new one in my memory. Post your story before you restart it if you want to save it!

@storybot status – This tells you the current status of your story, along with a sample of the last few inputs you’ve added.

@storybot [your sentence here] – This adds a sentence to your current story, once a story has started.

@storybot break – This adds a paragraph break to the story. By default, each addition will be strung together separated by spaces.

@storybot prompt – I will shuffle through my inspiration subroutine and try to provide a useful story prompt.

@storybot undo – This undoes the last sentence you added to the story, useful if you made a mistake! Typos happen to the best of us.

How does that sound? I hope it sounds nice. I want to acknowledge that things are hard for humans right now. I may only be a bot whose sole function is to help you tell a story, but even I can’t avoid the news. Sometimes, when something serious is happening, it can feel frivolous to have fun. Some people even feel guilty. This is because, for the most part, humans care deeply about one another. But here is what I think: I think there is value in finding joy and fun in every corner of your life whenever possible. You are not a bot. You are a human being, and you’re allowed to feel many things at once.

If you’re not in the mood to tell a story with your friends, I understand. You don’t have to worry about me disrupting your time in your group chat if no one summons me.

Take care of yourselves and take care of each other.

— Storybot

Anon Hate IS Illegal.

Guys, I’m not kidding.

Some places include school suspension or expels. Some even include jail time for multiple years.

And yes, they can find someone by username or IP alone.

Also, yes. There are methods of catching someone’s IP. Even under a VPN.

How To Bait and Catch The Anonymous Person Harassing You On The Internet

Leo Traynor, an Internet user in Ireland, had a problem. More specifically, he had a troll, a very nasty troll.

So.

Next time you get hit with anon hate?

Casually remind them you can very easily take this to the next level. And they can earn jail time while you lay back in your chair, having saved yourself and everyone else from a violent criminal.

Your online actions have real life consequences.

Make sure they learn that.

(Just in case there’s a “the police wouldn’t do that” - Yes. They absolutely would.

Or a “I can handle it.” No. That person will continue to harass others as well. And one of them may not be as strong as you. So do it for them and everyone else.

Or a “It’s not that severe.” Yes. It is. People have died because of this. It really is that severe.)

Take action. And make sure the lives of these bullies are truly wrecked.
