They're live!! Please check out these cute af Trigun charms and stickers we've been working on.

All charms will be about 2.5" tall, except for Zazie and Tripping Vash, which will be about 3 so the scale is the same. The same goes with the stickers, which will be about 3" tall, except for Zazie and Tripping Vash, which will be a little bigger as well.

Important info:

The preorder will last two weeks, after which it will take about 4-6 weeks to get the charms/stickers and then we can ship. Please keep that in mind when placing an order.

How to Support Your Library in the Wake of Rising Fascism

We are all aware that libraries across the United States are under attack. Here are some ways you can help.

BOOK RIOT

We are all aware that libraries across the United States are under attack. Thanks to groups like Moms for Liberty and other outspoken “concerned citizens,” there has been actual legislative action at multiple levels of government to limit what libraries can do and provide to their communities. Even in the places where there hasn’t been that kind of action, those same concerned citizens have mounted acts of intimidation to instill fear and block access...In light of this, I’ve heard many iterations of the same question: how can we help? What do libraries and library staff need right now?

the way tumblr is trying to distance itself from being a blogging platform is fucking. infuriating!!

like do you not know this is your strength!!! I want to be able to visit other people’s pages that have been CUSTOM MADE for their purpose!!! ARTISTS HAVE LINKS AND TAGS FOR THEIR ART!!!  COMMUNITIES AND HELP/TUTORIAL BLOGS HAVE TAGS FOR SPECIFIC QUIERIES!!! WRITERS CAN LINK ME TO THEIR STORIES!!! IT HELPS BOTH THE POSTERS AND THE CONSUMERS TO MODERATE THE EXPERIENCE TO THEIR LIKING!!!!

SENDING PEOPLE TO THAT UNSLIGHTLY “BOARD” OF A “BLOG” THAT APPEARS NOW WHEN YOU CLICK THE NAME OF THE BLOG INSTEAD OF SENDING YOU TO THE ACTUAL BLOG IS SUCH A DUMBASS MOVE? IT DOESNT EVEN ALLOW LINKS!!! I CANT DO SHIT ON THERE!!! I CANT FIND WHAT IM THERE FOR!!!! IT MAKES ME NOT WANT TO USE IT!!!!

TUMBLR IS/USED TO BE THE MOST FLEXIBLE AND THAT WAS ITS BIGGEST MERIT!!! YOU HAVE ONE OF THE BEST TAGGING SYSTEMS AND YOU WONT LET ME USE IT TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL!!! 

YOU CAN FOSTER COMMUNITIES, YOU LET PEOPLE KEEP MULTIPLE SIDE BLOGS WITHOUT HAVING TO SIGN IN WITH A DIFFERENT EMAIL, YOU ALLOW VIDEOS AND AUDIO AND +4 PHOTOS PER POST!!!! TWITTER CANT HAVE THAT!! TIKTOK CANT HAVE THAT!! REDDIT CANT HAVE THAT!!! FACEBOOK CANT HAVE THAT!!!

IM SO SICK OF THIS TWITTERIFICATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Starting to think that the key to being a staple “must watch” anime is to trick people into learning philosophy cause we’ve got:

Evangelion - come for the mecha fights stay to learn about the “self”, reality, and identity

Cowboy Bebop - come for the space cowboys stay to learn about what it truly means to live and to be alive

Trigun - come for the silly main character and cool fights stay to learn about pacifism, forgiveness, the sanctity of life, and the strength of hope

Fullmetal Alchemist - come for the cool science “magic” stay to learn about Plato, what is truth, and how to live a good life

Add Dungeon Meshi on that list I’m so serious

Identifying fascists and their friends on tumblr

Most important step--who do they reblog from? If they reblog from fascists, they're a fascist. Look out for the following things in URLs/bios/posts. If you see it, it MIGHT be unintentional, but 95% of the time the person is a reactionary.

NOT A COMPLETE LIST. More can be found on the Anti-Defamation League's website. Feel free to add your own.

Antisemitic Dogwhistles:

(((Triple parentheses)))--used by antisemites to identify Jewish names

"Cultural Marxists"--means Jews

"The mysterious, wealthy elites"--means Jews

"Powerful satanic pedophiles"--means Jews

"XYZ Jew or rich person is secretly a lizard/robot/alien"--hearkens to the Jews control the world narrative

Generalized statements about Israel as a major global power/influencing the US

"Controlled media"

"International bankers"

Referencing "certain people on the east coast of the US"

"New York intellectual"

"Dual loyalty"

Overt fixation on the Rothschilds/George Soros

Depictions of unlikeable people as having hooded eyelids, dark curly hair, large hooked noses

"Controlling the masses, puppet master, mastermind"

References to or depictions of the happy merchant

ZOG/Zionist Occupied Government

Nonspecific language and rhetoric often used by fascists/friends of fascists:

Cumbrain

Smoothbrain--eugenicist phrasing

Correcting for overpopulation--ecofascist rhetoric

Degenerate

Social Darwinism/survival of the fittest/natural selection

Traditional values

Symbology to double check:

Scandinavian symbology (inc. Norse runes)

American front cross

Celtic cross

Depictions of German soldiers (w/ or w/o swastika)

Imperial German flag

Iron Cross

Eagle (akin to Nazi eagle)

Pepe the Frog (for real)

Wojak (paying attention to any other symbols added to it or showing a deformed head/damaged brain)

URLs + Self-identifiers to be wary of:

Trad/traditional/traditionalist

Monarchist

Punished

Risen

Nationalist

Crucified

Aryan

Unforgiven

Patriarch

Patriot

Fallen

Chad

Egalitarian

Unrepentant

Prussia/Prussian

Liberty

Anglican

Catholicism/saints/church (yep)

Numbers to look at:

83

14 88 (together or individually)

Please reblog this because some of you put fascists on my dashboard unwittingly and I need you to Know... You need to Look...

[bogleech]

Can I add the fact that they try very hard to discredit posts exactly like this one by calling them “paranoid” or “delusional” but what they really mean is that they genuinely thought these memes and slogans were brilliantly subtle and actually thought nobody else in the whole world was smart or observant?

[ashwilliamsrighthand]

"Globalist" is also another word to keep an eye out for. It originates in the idea that Jewish people have no allegiances to their country but instead to some global conspiracy. Ties back into the idea that they secretly rule the world.

[faithless-cuting]

it's worth noting that some ~edgey~ leftists will use some of the nonspecific language ironically or to make fun of fash (degenerate and smoothbrain, in particular), so it's worth doublechecking with those

[totallynotsilversora]

Hey so about those runes

For anyone who’s curious abt which “runes” would be anti-semite, here they are below (typed out and listed in the alt) :

ALT

If you had ever even remotely researched Norse runes at any point in your life (like myself) you’ll notice that many of these “runes” are either inverted, added more lines, or even changed the name ENTIRELY. It’s not depicted here but one “rune” is a pair of lightning bolts that’s supposed to be a pair of the Sig rune side by side aka the “victory runes”.

Many of these “runes” were taken from the Armanen Runes list (created by Guido von List who ofc was German) and NOT the Elder/Younger Futhark Runes (the ones used by Norwegians) though it must be said that racists can be sneaky and combine both so they don’t get called out for “authenticity”.

The only ones that have the least amount of variation from the original runes are:

Teiwaz (ᛏ) looks like an arrow pointing up,

Othala (ᛟ) looks like a diamond with 2 protruding lines at the bottom

[keep in mind many anti-semites add more lines up from the tail but this isn’t always the case, so stay vigilant!],

And Algiz (ᛉ) looks like a three pronged rake pointing up/ a Y with one extra line in the middle

[this one in particular is usually pointed up! If it’s pointing down stay alert!]

As someone who’s not Norwegian/Viking descent but does appreciate the culture and mythos a lot, it SHOCKED me when I first learned about these - particularly with how sneaky some folks can be about presenting them such as tattoos or carefully arranged badges.

I know someone else probably reblogged this with the particular runes to look out for but I’m doing it again for posterity sake.

Also here’s here’s the Elder Futhark runes and their names depicted below for reference (names listed and typed out in alt) :

ALT

And here is the Younger Futhark (the one that Armenan ripped off from btw) :

ALT

Both are very legitimate writing systems still used today!

You HAVE to make sure whoever’s wearing these is wearing them appropriately!

STAY ALERT!
