part 353 whalers on the moon

[aphanon_meme]

We've been here over a year now! I can hardly believe it! Dreamwidth's been pretty good, I'd say, with almost no downtime to speak of and all that! Anyway... how is your spring going? Or I guess it's almost summer, isn't it? Hopefully it's been well! I've been catching up on work and new movies, all very exciting stuff, I'm sure.

Enjoy part 353!

The colour of a purple heart is?

Purple Heart

That'd be a great band name

Slightly related, over the weekend I was participating in a revolutionary war re-enactment, and a couple of Dutch tourists came over to our camp to look. They ended up talking with our brew master about beer for a solid hour, and the woman said that she was very impressed with the American beers she had had so far on her trip (all of them recommended by Americans).

A nice gift he can use and will enjoy.

[He gives everyone a look for there less than decent ideas.

It is also his birthday but he'll consider his gift to be spending time with his country.]

possible good news for Italy?

I don't wanna make another new World Cup thread so I'll use this one

but people are saying Uruguay are mad at FIFA for banning Suarez and are threatening to boycott the WC and pull out (http://metro.co.uk/2014/06/26/uruguay-players-threaten-to-boycott-last-16-clash-with-colombia-over-luis-suarez-ban-4776923/)

so it's possible either FIFA will give Colombia an automatic pass, or make them face Italy

If this is from American fans from the Germany vs. USA match, I am disgusted, and so, so sorry for my country.

I've been liking the Eigengrau fic on the Kink Meme.

The graph up there reminded me of this.
The last time I was visiting with friends of friends, we were talking about problematic fandoms, how annoying they can get, how to deal with it, etc, and hitting it off pretty well in general. I mentioned I know that feeling of having to hide in a safe, sane corner of the fandom, because after all, I'm in the Hetalia fandom.
It was quiet. After a while, she said something to the effect of "Yeah, I can see why you'd need to hide, especially when you see cosplayers doing that... you know... the salute at..."
I told her no, that's not what I'm talking about, because we don't tolerate that shit, and we kicked their asses and we still kick anyone's asses if they try to do anything like that, no, that's not tolerated even among the annoying fans.

And yet this is still what we fucking look like to people.
Maybe I don't know what's going on.

It doesn't say, perhaps it's just from public users worldwide.

social media share thread

[(Anonymous)]

share whatever social media accounts you feel like

my best guess is that at least part of the spiking absolutely must be caused by US-based users - they don't report anything that would let me quickly figure out whether they only tracked US geotagged tweets, english-language tweets (i think this is unlikely given the tweet tracker they linked), or all tweets with no filter for languaguage or geotagging; but i do know that at that time of day, US users form a sizeable portion of the twitter population who could type 'nazi' (as opposed to twitter population who use other writing systems like chinese and arabic, which is also a huge part of twitter but generally wouldn't be in 'nazi' search results)
