Greg Abbot is a fucking monster and I hope he suffers just a tenth of the pain he has inflicted on human beings who are just looking for a better life.
Fuck Greg Abbot and everyone who supports him.

This move, it seems likely, is damage control aimed at attempting to mitigate the situation before LA-based TV news crews show up.
(BTW: images in other threads here and on Twitter apparently confirm that Universal also did this illegal trimming three years ago, and the trees were in the process of trying to recover from it.)

ALTI'm sure tumblr would never, but hey. No sense tempting fate.
Social media is not private, emails are not private, internet searches are not private, your text messages are not private.
"I use a VPN!" Your ISP can see when you initially connect to a VPN. The VPN company will comply with a subpoena.
"My socials don't have my real name!" What about the email to register that social? What about your wifi provider? They provide the IP address from which you're frequently logging in. Don't they have your information?
Your cell carrier will comply with a subpoena.
You ISP will comply with a subpoena.
So will Google, Apple, Yahoo, Meta, Tumblr, Twitter, you name it. None of them will fight the government on behalf of a random person they don't care about.
This is why fighting for online privacy laws, real actual privacy laws, is so important. It's why using services with end-to-end encryption is so important. It's why if you don't want any chance of law enforcement to know about something, you cannot post about it online in any way.
The messages we recieved growing up about being very careful about what you post online wasn't fear mongering. They just picked a different villain.
Yes, absolutely yes, but not all VPNs will — it depends on where they're based out of. Last time I read through ProtonVPN's tos and privacy policy, they do not comply with subpoenas, and they do not keep your info, so even if someone was to successfully hack in, there'd be nothing for them to see.

Also while we’re here I want everyone to appreciate that This
This wild, wonderful, beautifully animated and heartfelt queer story started here
Here, on tumblr, by an art student who was wrestling with his identity, mental health, and religious trauma
Tell your stories, kids, you never know how many people will thank you for it
I love that he apparently got the job because he looked so pathetic that children truly believed he would be unable to solve puzzles created by a cartoon dog without their assistance.
kids really said “i can fix him”
Hm. It was certainly a dramatic ending, but honestly not super satisfying. It’s got the whole “it was all a dream” problem, though thankfully just for the one episode.
Eh, I don’t know how I feel about it. On the one hand, it would have been nice to get some closure, a farewell to the characters and the ship, all the things that make an ending truly final. But on the other hand, an open ending is kind of nice. It leaves room for speculation, fan fiction, etc. But I struggle to appreciate open endings, because so many shows just stop due to cancellation. I’m tired of shows not having any kind of ending, or having some kind of rushed, cobbled-together ending that disappoints everyone.
I do still have the movies to watch. I skipped the TOS movies, but I think I’ll watch the TNG ones. I’ll see how I feel about them after having watched the entire series.
