so here's what I've now done to make the internet usable as a person living in the UK without handing my ID and/or facial scans over to random third parties:
signed up for a ProtonVPN account
set up a tunnel from my router to a ProtonVPN server in Sweden
written a python script to query DNS servers for social media domains every 15 minutes and collate the results into a list of IP address ranges
created routing and firewall policies to block connections to those IP ranges on my normal connection and send them through the VPN tunnel instead
set up a second, personal VPN so I can make my mobile devices connect to the internet through my home network even when I'm not at home
now it's time to open source this whole thing so others can enjoy using the internet the same way they did three weeks ago

Considering Gotham is New York, I'll be waiting for New Yorkers to submit their real life homologues to this.
gotham is exactly the right amounts of wet and socioeconomically unstable to have spawned an INSANE grunge scene you just know their local shit is like the sonic equivalent of getting hit over the head with a car battery

Just saw a male store employee stop two erratic men from escalating a fight in a train station.
Then his female colleague prevent him from escalating the situation himself.
Then security came out with dogs and fistbumped the female colleague before dealing with the erratic men.
Anyway, cool lady, nice security guys and good doggos.

Trying to inflict psychic damage to a tumblr user is like trying to irradiate a cockroach, like it can be done, but the lethal dose is not safe for humans either

Damian : *is holding a cat*
Bruce : *squints eyes* I don't recognise this one.
Damian : You must be getting old.
Bruce : *heavy sigh* Alright, you can adopt as many pets as you can provide and care for, and that includes appropriate diet, accommodation, enrichment, bonding and health.
Damian : ... Are you leading by example with kids ?

one of the many reasons Fleabag is so heartbreaking and relatable is because no one ever chose her. Not her family. Not her lovers. Not her supposed โsoulmateโ. The one person that picked her died. She was no oneโs choice or option, not even to herself. The way we can feel her loneliness through the screen is enough to make me collapse into a mess of tears on the ground and shake uncontrollably

I'm watching fleabag for the first time and I'm suffering from existential embarrassment. Make of that what you will.

ok, but imagine pairing this with a matching boat hairdo from the 1700s

A pair of solid gold earrings, modelled as galleons, with gold wire masts & rigging, enamel decoration and pearls, 1600s

โWhich of my feelings are real? Which of the meโs is me? The wild, impulsive, chaotic, energetic, and crazy one? Or the shy, withdrawn, desperate, suicidal, doomed, and tired one?โ

He is an absolute man-child, from beginning to end. He has Andrew Tate vibes, feeds into the incel culture, is a menace to society and a philosophy fan boy who just so happened to read a book and interpret it in a disturbing, cruel and unbecoming manner.
He's a loser and I am utterly repulsed. He stands for everything Donna Tartt condemns. I rest my case.
Oscar, if you read this, you absolute wordsmith, I love you, always did, always will ๐ป๐ป๐ป
