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.
Via @WritersGuildF at Twitter. (Not that this’ll help NBCUniversal, particularly when the LA City Department of Urban Forestry comes after them…)
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.
THE GOLDEN BOAR
~Prologue, Page 1~
Welcome to The Golden Boar, the new comic from Magnolia Porter Siddell, author of Bobwhite, Monster Pulse and Rose of Winter! This is the tumblr feed for the comic! (Unlike Monster Pulse, The Golden Boar is intended for more mature audiences, so keep that in mind when you read!)
While the prologue is updating, this comic will update with one new page every weekday! Once the prologue is finished, it will update Tuesdays and Thursdays, just like it does on the main website!
This feed will always be behind the main website. If you want to read almost 150 pages of the story, check it out at www.thegoldenboar.com!
Thanks for reading and enjoy the story!
This is my new ~fantasy romance~ comic! Follow along here or at www.thegoldenboar.com! Thanks guys!
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”
