There is something SO fun about tagging my friends in things knowing they're gonna chuckle, or tag it with "hey!" it just gives me life I swear

Is it just me or when I start a new series/game and get into the fandom (old and new), I suddenly find stuff around my house (or other places) from that series which I have never given attention to before? They were just there.
Like for example umbrellas with the characters, plushies, T-shirts, toys, etc.
Or better. It doesn't have to do anything with the series but it reminds you of it.

I just saw a post about Roman graffiti so of course I did a deep dive and read as much as I could find. Most of the lines I could find were insults, sexual, or about shitting, but one really stood out to me:
V.1.26 (House of Caecilius Iucundus); 4091: Whoever loves, let him flourish. Let him perish who knows not love. Let him perish twice over whoever forbids love.
And yeah, I could wax poetic about how this made me tear up or about the nature of humanity but really I just love that last line so much. The sentiment of it stands true today, let him perish twice over whoever forbids love.

Apologies for my recent radio silence. I've had a lot on my mind lately.
This post isn't Earthspark-related at all, but please read it.
I need to take a second on this blog to acknowledge some things going on in the world. I should not have stayed silent on this blog before, but I'm trying to fix that now.
Genocide in Palestine + how you can help Palestinians
You can buy e-sims for people in Gaza here. Anything helps.
Click here daily to help generate funds for Palestine. It's free and takes less than a minute.
Here's a list of where you can donate to help Palestine.
(If there's anything I should add to this section, please let me know.)

The KOSA bill, what it's going to do if passed, and how you can help prevent it from taking effect
KOSA will essentially erase anonymity from the internet by requiring people to upload their government ID or other form of identification to any social media site, as well as restricting resources and information on LGBT rights, history, racism, and more. This bill will censor the entire internet and destroy privacy while violating First Amendment rights and potentially putting minors in danger.
This also could very well mean the end of Tumblr, and I'm not exaggerating here.
Tomorrow KOSA could be passed in Senate, and from there it will need to pass in the House of Representatives before being signed into law by the president. It's not doomsday yet, but it is a dangerous situation-- and here's what you can do.
StopKOSA.org provides you with a template email to send to your representatives. You can leave it how it is or edit it to say what you want, and then send it from their website.
The website also allows you to call your representatives and gives you a template of what to say.
BadInternetBills.org, run by the same people, takes action against KOSA as well as other bills like EARN IT. At the time of posting this, over 356,000 people have signed this petition.
Additionally there are several petitions on change.org to help stop KOSA. Here are a few of them.
STOP KOSA
STOP THE KOSA
Stop Kosa
Save Humanity, Oppose KOSA
STOP THE KOSA ACT
(Again, please let me know if there's anything I should add.)

One last thing-- The evolution of AI images and video.
I don't really have anything good to say. AI is evolving fast and changing the world as we know it. We are adapting, but nobody knows how this really is going to end up.
A few quick points:
AI images are not art. That's all. AI "artists" who genuinely claim to have made something of their own just by typing a prompt into a generator will be blocked. (Which has been in my rules for a while, but I still think it needs to be said.)
I recommend Glaze for artists who don't want their art being scraped and used for data training. Especially with the recent rumors of an upcoming deal between Tumblr and Midjourney. There's also a similar program called Nightshade (haha, earthspark reference? anyone?🦉) that I haven't tested myself but have heard good things about.
-----
That's all, I suppose. Reblogs are good, if you don't mind.
Spread the word about KOSA. Contact your representatives. Sign the petitions.
Support Palestine if possible. Donate if you can. If you are unable to donate, make sure to do your daily clicks.
Stay safe and take care of yourselves. ❤️

A week or two ago my sister and I were walking the dog and ran into a middle-aged couple also walking their dog
And obviously we talked dog names
They said theirs was named Meimei
Before I thought better of it, I said "oh, like the Mandarin for 'Little Sister'!"
In the second before they responded, I just about died because What If I'm Wrong And They're From A Different Country And I Just Assumed
Then they said I was right (yay) and asked how I knew that (uh oh)
And I had a DIFFERENT kind of major embarrassment
Because I had to admit I knew it due to Firefly

ok so according the vid that the minecraft yt channel uploaded, fireflies arent being added bc theyre... poisonous to frogs? what? why does a 2 pixel sized mob need an entire purpose around it to be added. they can still add them and not have frogs eat them just so we can have a CRUMB of ambience in this update. but sure, no fireflies bc frogs cant eat them. btw check out the new froglight blocks which can be obtained when a frog eats a magma cube, a mob made entirely out of lava

honestly maybe I’ll feel differently after playing through penacony but honestly i feel pretty indifferent towards firefly, even after being spoiled that she “dies”. Like sure she’s a cute character but nothing more to me.
which is why I’m so confused as to why so many people to seem to be so emotionally attached to her that some firefly fans are comparing themselves to friggin Otto from HI3 lol

me: i finished the latest trailblaze mission in hsr so i can look at what other people are posting now! oh boy i hope it's discussions and theories about the story. i can't wait to see what everyone thought about firefly (what was going on with you sweetie...) and A Child's Dream - that segment in particular really left a profound impact on me. like who is mikhail? the voice we hear throughout is obviously misha's - did he have a twin? does mikhail have something to do with clockie? and from what we heard and saw, misha or... mikhail. encountered the embodiment of Death that lurks beneath the dreamscape. what's... the full story there...? i can't wait to see other people's perspectives it'll help me piece a more coherent theory together-
other hsr fans: *thirstposting about aventurine and/or dr. ratio, trying to cancel sparkle even though the entire point of her character is that yes she's a horrible person because it's high time we see how DANGEROUS and CRUEL the masked fools can be - no more reducing them to the silly wacky hijinks sampo pulled on jarilo; you should be scared of these guys; the game's story never wanted you to make sparkle your next skrunkly blorbo babygirl lol, heated discussions about whether dr. ratio displayed the same racism towards aventurine that sparkle did and if that makes aventurine/ratio a bad thing to ship (??????????), more thirstposts about aventurine, 500 billion generic yaois of aventurine and ratio that don't even maintain either of their characters*
