Yet another WW2 bomb in Frankfurt: 16,500 residents evacuated

Die Zone um den Fundort der Fliegerbombe in Frankfurt ist geräumt. Die Evakuierung hat sich nur leicht verzögert, die Polizei zeigt sich zufrieden. Feuerwerker wollen als Nächstes den 500 Kilo schweren Sprengkörper entschärfen.
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung GmbH

Last week, an unexploded 500 kg bomb from World War II was found in the densely populated city center of Frankfurt near the headquarters of the European Central Bank.About 16,500 residents had to be evacuated, including a police station, and the famous zoological garden remains closed while experts began defusing the bomb. This will be done remotely with rocket-propelled unscrewing devices attached to the two triggers. Because the triggers are heavily deformed, the experts are unable to estimate how long the procedure will last and when the residents are allowed to return home.

Stuff kids on tumblr better relearn

abessinier

1. You are responsible for your own media experience. 

2. There is such a thing as a healthy level of avoidance towards topics that make you feel unwell or even (in a real-life clinical definition of the term) trigger you - but you are the one to actively take care of what you view.

3. Avoiding does not mean policing others.

4. You have no right to tell artists to censor themselves - you may criticize what others do, you may dislike it, that’s fine - but actively asking for censorship when you could easily unfollow or block a person just makes you look incompetent in your use of the internet.

5. Do not give people on tumblr or /any/ website the responsibility for your emotional well-being. Because these people do not even know you so no, you have no right to ask them to take care of you.

6. Content creators are not your parents and owe you nothing, not even a breakdown on why their content isn’t problematic. You don’t get to demand a dissertation denouncing any and everything unhealthy in a piece you don’t like. Move on.

As to #4, kids, remember there is a big difference between

A) Posting, on your own blog, things like “Boy do I sure wish the most popular ship in my fandom wasn’t the pedophilic/incestuous one” or “I wish people would tag their content appropriately more often so I can properly block it” or “that piece of professionally made media is problematic because it has pedophilia in it” or even “I really hate it that X kind of content is so prevalent in fan-works today, it’s dangerous because Y,” and

B) Posting callouts for individual named artists accusing them of being pedophiles or supporting pedophilia, incest, or abusive relationships in real life because they create content of fictional ships. 

There’s also a HUGE difference between BOTH of those things and

C) Going into people’s inboxes to tell them to kill themselves because they drew something you don’t like, even if the reason you don’t like it is moral outrage.

Yes, EVEN IF in real life the things they drew are illegal and generally considered bad such that your moral outrage, if it was directed at these actions in real life, would be entirely justified.  It’s NEVER okay to try to suicide bait people.  It’s NEVER okay to threaten people.  That’s a human person behind that Tumblr account, and it’s important not to forget that.  If someone posts content you hate, block them, block their username, block the tags for that content, hell go on your own blog and say “I HATE THAT KIND OF CONTENT A WHOLE LOT!”  But don’t attack someone over fiction.  It’s just pointless and drags down fandom culture as a whole.

You have every right to your outrage, and you have every right to not like to see that kind of stuff and to talk about why.  But you don’t have the right to hurt people over it.  Take care of yourselves, absolutely!  But remember it’s not the job of strangers on the internet to do it for you!

Discredit Pt. 2: More Recommended Reviews For A.Z. Fell’s

itsclydebitches

Alright, folks. Some notes first: 

1. You all rock. I’m sending out 20k+ virtual hugs for all the notes I NEVER expected to get on this nonsense. 

2. This is probably the final section, just because I’m not sure I can adequately follow up part one and it might be foolish to attempt it here. Let alone twice. But for now, here we go. 

3. Kudos to the anon who reminded me of Aziraphale’s cash-only policy <3 

4. Nicole Y’s review is based off an actual comment I read years ago, but heaven only knows where online it was. I’ve got the memory of a goldfish. 

5. Trigger warning for the use of a queer slur in this. It’s the same review as above, number 5 if you want to avoid it. 

6. There’s a text-only version of just the reviews at the end, after all the images. I’ll upload that to my Sparse Clutter collection on AO3 in a bit. 

Bonus 7. People thinking this is a real shop deserve all the good things in this world. 

That’s all I’ve got. Hope you enjoy! 👍

i like mentally designing memorials sometimes.

imagine a sculpture of an armchair sitting on a hill on the English chalk downs. a wide-brimmed black hat rests on one corner; a book sits open on the seat as if the reader has just risen for a moment to get something and will return shortly. in the valley below is the rest of the memorial: a somewhat abstracted set of sculptures depicting a young girl herding sheep. as a witch or author might say, the sculpture isn’t what a girl looks like, it’s what a girl is.
